Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (R-NV) on Wednesday laid blame for Donald Trump’s rise in the Republican party on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
During an interview with Politico, Reid said that McConnell and Trump are “cuddled up together” and explained that he plans to tie Senate Republicans to Trump throughout the election.
“It’s easy to do: The Senate leadership is enthralled by Trump. ‘He’s the guy. He’s going to carry on the standards of the Republican Party.’ Wow,” Reid told Politico. “My job is to tell the people that Mitch McConnell is one of the reasons we have Trump. … Everything that Trump is, McConnell led the charge.”
When asked later in the interview to respond McConnell describing Reid as having a “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality” in his new book, the Nevada senator again tied McConnell to Trump.
“He, more than any other one person, is responsible for Donald Trump,” Reid said.
The Senate minority leader also said he couldn’t imagine Trump winning the presidency.
“I don’t think he can win. I would feel sad for my family, the country,” Reid said. referring to Trump. “That’s a hypothetical, a nightmare I can’t accept. As much as I disliked George Bush the second, I would never have a nightmare about it.”
Damn right Harry!
With Reid, Obama and Hillary leading the fight, who can stop the Democratic takeover?
I don’t think what Reid said is true in any very direct way. But I think it’s pretty clever. If you’re McConnell and his press secretary, how do you respond? By embracing Trump proudly? I don’t think they want to do that. By angrily rejecting what Reid said? They don’t exactly want to do that either. They’ve got a tiny-holed needle to thread here. Makes me grin.
Reid the Boxer shines forth again…throwing stiff jabs, setting traps, and waiting to spring the crushing counter.
Ah, there is nothing more stimulating in the morning than a nice steaming hot cup of strong black coffee, and the sound of Harry Reid pissing in Mitch McConnell’s corn flakes.
I don’t know how Reid has contained himself ---- Better man than I ,for sure –
I would already be in jail for smacking McConnell right in the nose —
