Senate Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)2% tells reporters he is “a Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)58% fan” and that he “hope[s]” the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman will be the next GOP Speaker of the House, according to multiple reports.
FOX News reporter Kara Rowland tweeted, “Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid to reporters: ‘I’m a Paul Ryan fan.’ Says he ‘appears to be’ someone ‘who could be reasonable.’”
Bloomberg’s Derek Wallbank wrote, “Harry Reid on Paul Ryan: of all the speaker options, `I hope he gets it.'”
PBS’ Quin Bowman tweeted, “Harry Reid volunteers that he hopes Paul Ryan becomes speaker: ‘We’ve been able to work with him.'”
Indeed, Paul Ryan has shown repeated willingness to go around conservative lawmakers in order to work with Democrats’ agenda. As Chairman of the House Ways And Means Committee, Ryan was essential to ushering President Obama’s trade agenda through the House of Representatives.
Similarly, on the issue of immigration—Ryan has a two-decade long history of sabotaging conservative immigration reforms and embracing progressive ones. During the 2013 effort to push the Rubio-Schumer bill through Congress, Politico notes that Ryan held secret meetings with Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer in order to facilitate the passage of the mass amnesty plan.

Of all the contrary indicators...
The fact no one on the GOPe told Reid where to stick it since this has nothing to do with him says volumes.
DNC = GOPe = The Establishment
Exactly. It would be disaster to elect Ryan.
Sounds like Red Harry is desperate to prolong Republican infighting. He knows damn well how this kind of statement wil be received by conservatives. Reid may be a commie SOB, but he isn’t stupid.
I’m treating this for what it is. A left wing attempt to divide us.
Oh and agree 100%
A match made in hell.
Paul Ryan will NOT stand up to the Administration
Ryan will continue to push through the Obama Agenda. Just like Boehner.
An endorsement from Harry Reid is the kiss of death.
80 celestial trumpets, and the deed to Monaco.
The KISS OF DEATH! Thanks, Harry.
And a breed of exotic cat named for us. We can call it “Maximus Perfectus”
Exactly right.
Amen
Ryan & Reid = two traitors
We aren’t done yet. We may need to move up that June 2016 date yet!
Reid is mocking us and the Gop and it hatred for its own Voting base.
He is telling us the Fix is in and your screwed suckers .
He knows Ryan is a utterly corrupt collaborator and ready to ram thru Amnesty and kill off the Gop for his Billionaire Owners .
Can we cut a deal with Japan for Sexbots?
Sure can, and before April Fools Day too!
