“I think they’re all losers”, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is quoted as answering when asked his opinion of the Republican candidates for president of the United States. Reid made his comments from behind the dark glasses he was wearing as a result of the reported major ass-whoopin he received from his own brother last New Year’s Eve. It would seem that Harry knows a thing or two about ‘losing’.
The ‘not-soon-enough’ to be retired senator from Nevada lorded over a United States Senate that accomplished nothing under his tenure that could be described as being good or beneficial for the American people. A record of mediocrity rivaled only by that of Hillary Clinton.
Through arm-twisting and threats he was able to force through ObamaCare, the one piece of legislation which has turned out to be one of the most despised pieces of legislation ever crafted in the nation’s history. Certainly not an achievement to boast of.
He turned what was once described as the “world’s greatest deliberative body” into such an antagonistic and polarized group, most whom couldn’t even bring themselves to sit down together to have lunch, much less sincerely debate issues and reach a consensus.
The dog and pony show of ‘solidarity’ put on after the Gabby Giffords tragedy lasted only a short while and then things were back to normal. Meaning back to antagonism, mistrust, partisanship, and polarization. Largely a creation of Harry Reid.
As Harry Reid’s senate career winds down one would think he might be interested in salvaging some legacy beyond the dreadful one he currently has, and he would attempt to repair some of the personal relationships between himself and his political opponents that he created over his years in the Senate.
Instead Reid doubles down, calling all the Republicans who have announced already, or who are expected to announce their candidacy for president as “losers”. One would presume he is including people like Carly Fiorina and Dr. Ben Carson among those he described as “losers”. Not to mention many of the other Republicans whose record far exceeds anything Harry Reid could aspire to.
When comparing just those two Republicans of accomplishment against Harry Reid’s own record, or for that matter the presumptive Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton’s, it’s pretty clear for whom the term “loser” really applies.
The fact is Americans are looking forward to Harry Reid’s departure from the political scene. For most, the day Harry Reid leaves his Senate office for the last time can’t come soon enough. There’s probably a fair number of people who’d be happy to help him pack just to speed up the process. As the old saying goes, “Don’t let the door hit you in the”…..You get the point.
The Nevada Democrat long ago wore out his welcome among his Senate colleagues, and even more so with the American people. And hopefully in November 2016 Harry will be joined by many other career politicians who have spent their entire time in office serving partisanship, as opposed to serving the American people.
This is from someone who lost the Senate and a fight with a rubber band in three months. His overconfidence will be his undoing.
It’s a clear case of the pot accusing the kettle of having a black eye...
Looks more like Mandy the Tranny didn’t get her candy ( whore money ) from Harry
What happens in Vagas stays in Vagas, just saying..
Some guy actually called Rush Limbaugh, Friday I think, to say the Mob had Harry Reid beaten up.
I am afraid that guy is about 40 plus years too late on that conspiracy.
Of course the MSM has ZERO interest in how this devastating injury to the Senate minority leader actually took place.
They’re off investigating the hobbies of folks who donate money to Cruz.
Harry POS Reid ALERT!
I am just glad he is retiring. Maybe this fight or whatever it was decided his future for him. I am glad that it happened because he is retiring!
Dingy harry is a dirty pol that got the crap beaten out of him when he couldn’t deliver and already spent the money
Including Reid's retina apparently.

"...eye"?
Squinting out of his one good eye the Golem of Searchlight speaks. :-)
The rubber band has a name and it’s Larry Reid
All of them are losers as you said? Really? Hillary is like the Cubs...losers. (But the Cubs are actually more entertaining and loving then Hillary)
I would contribute to Round two, for sure!
It’s a dead heat on my 1st place despise list with Reid, Hillary, Holder and Obama.
Nipping at their heels are Boehner, McConnell and Senate RINO’s.
Back to Reid, if anyone ever in the history of ass-whippins deserved it it was Harry Reid! It proves there is “some” justice left in this world.
In a really big way, we are all losers because of how Dingy Harry managed to ramrod the Senate for so long. He may be a loser, but he wasn’t “a loser” when it came to screwing us.
