The Republican field for president in 2016 is full of “losers,” Harry Reid said in an interview that aired Wednesday.
The Senate minority leader, a boxer in his youth, delivered some spirited blows while talking with CNBC’s John Harwood, calling his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell “a lump of coal” and slamming alternative theories about how he sustained his eye injury.
“It shows the credibility of Rush Limbaugh. He’s the guy that got all of this started,” the Nevada Democrat said. “Why in the world would I come up with a story that I got hurt in my own bathroom with my wife standing there? How could anyone say anything like that.”
Reid has said that he is now “sightless” out of his right eye, following hospitalization for an exercise accident at his Henderson, Nevada, home in which he broke bones in his face and several ribs, along with a concussion.
“I think a lot of people, as I read, they kind of don’t like me as a person, and that’s unfortunate,” he said.
Reid also said he doesn’t really care who wins the Republican nomination for president. “I think they’re all losers,” he said.
The 75-year-old Democrat said he likes Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, adding that he spoke with Bill Clinton the other day and loves his sincerity.
Reid said Clinton tells him, “Harry, I love you,” at the end of every conversation.
“I am not a big fan of primaries,” he added. “I don’t think they help, especially when you’re someone as noted as Hillary.”
Pressed on whether he would have Vice President Joe Biden sit out the race, Reid said that only he would make that decision.
“He’s been around a long time, he can make that decision on his own, without my advice,” he said.
Yep. And the republicans are hard for the demos to work with. Well that’s what the media will tell you. Geeeezzzzzzzzzz..
WHO cares what you think, Harry?? Go back to the gym.....
If anyone would know a loser, Harry would be that guy!
Actually, “a lying, corrupt, bat-sh!t crazy old man” is much more accurate.
>>“Why in the world would I come up with a story that I got hurt in my own bathroom with my wife standing there? How could anyone say anything like that.”
Still waiting for you to sue the gym equipment maker, Harry. Or is that your brother’s “gym equipment”?
A loser is the one walking around bruised and beaten who also believes what Billy boy says. Loser Reid, can you spell perjury? That is when someone is a proven liar.
This also shows how non-partisan the democrats are.
Hey Harry, get on another treadmill.
Let’s see how someone like Cruz or Walker will run their campaign, it won’t be a repeat of 2012! The only way the Dems are getting in is if our nominee is Christie, Bush or Paul.
“A boxer in his youth”
Yeah.....they called him “Canvasback Reid”.
Harry . . . what you are saying is that “only liars win.”
Maybe they are, Harry, yet none of them have been beaten to a pulp by an “exercise machine.” What does that say about you?
This shriveled up old hag has nothing useful to say to anybody.
And to Reid, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are just old pieces of paper that have no relevance today ....
This from a guy who got his ass kicked by his drunk brother..Hey Harry, look in the mirror you pitiful fool
Well ol’ dingy would know. It takes one to know one.
LOL! They are all losers, sayeth the guy who lost an eye, supposedly, with an exercise band.
And, Harry, your “accident” story was up for ridicule long before Rush grabbed onto it.
“...the Nevada Democrat said. “Why in the world would I come up with a story that I got hurt in my own bathroom with my wife standing there? How could anyone say anything like that...”
Why would this sleazeball make up a story that Romney failed to pay his income taxes?” And, then laugh about it when he was cauggt.
To achieve a desired result. Once a lying SOB, always a lying SOB.
Maybe they are, Harry, yet none of them have been beaten to a pulp by an “exercise machine.” What does that say about you?
I said he needs to get on another tread mill. I think you got mixed up and posted to me by mistake.
