Harry Reid has advice for Democrats already celebrating Hillary Clinton as the next president: Don’t underestimate Donald Trump. No one should do that. I tried, others have tried. He's a hard guy to predict,” Reid said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. “One of the most unorthodox candidates for the presidency in modern times. Certainly in modern times, post-modern times. A real unusual deal we have here."

"You have one who has been plotting to be president for six or seven months. That's Trump. You have Cruz, who has been plotting to be president since he was in elementary school,” Reid said.
“In Arizona last night they just arbitrarily reduced the polling places,” Reid said. “There could be some litigation in that regard. The Arizona race showed me how desperate the Republicans are to do anything they can to suppress turnout.”
I’m really surprised that Reid would say something so complimentary about Trump!
The slimy one speaks.....
Trump has the goods on Reid.
Reid’s kid tried to go around State to get H1-Bs for investors.
Trump know everyone in the gambling business, and most likely know more to this story.
She looks good in Gitmo Orange......;
“Plotting to be president?”
What a despicable little man Harry is.
BE Afraid, be verrrry afraid.
Trump will be like Emperor Caligula or Nero.
Harry “the one eyed Pirate” Reid speaks. Arrrrrrrr!
Reid is sending a message to the DNC.
He has been using McCain’s staff to pass RNC plans directly to the RATS.
This is why none of the “plans” to stop Obama have ever worked.
They already knew the entire strategy plan.
Reid is saying: “Forget everything you are being told. Trump is unstoppable unless you come up with something REAL SOON”
I suppose he thinks Hillary just woke up one morning and decided to run. That woman has had HER sights on the presidency, probably, since before she met Bill. I told my husband she would sell her grandchildren to the highest bidder if it would insure her win.
Maybe we should use the “Princess Bride” analogy here: Since everything that Reid says is untrue, what he is really saying is that we should underestimate Trump; or, since he knows we know he always lies, maybe he says this knowing that we’ll think he really does want us to never underestimate Trump and vote for him because he thinks Hillary can beat him. So, there.
As much as I oppose Trump as the Republican nominee, Reid is right. Trump is an amazing (to use his favorite word) salesman. At the same time he understands the art of demonizing his opponents (Lyin Ted, Little Mario) and Hillary is very open to being demeaned, demonized and ridiculed. In fact Trump wouldn’t have to stretch anything. Just tell the truth that she and the media are working so hard to cover up. You can’t change the subject on the Donald.
Trump gave him money in the past
What I find most interesting is Reid states the republicans closed precincts to suppress voter turnout. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this. The GOPe is hoping lines are long so people become frustrated and go home. I’m sure some people did. Especially if they were voting for Trump and were told by the MSM he was going to win.
They need to keep him under 50% to make it look like Cruz is competitive.
One Eyed Harry gave Trump credit, but in the same sentence he still got the jab in. “how desperate the Republicans are to do anything they can to suppress turnout.”
Suppressing the turnout” by the rats for so long a time and so many times it is their standard slogan.
Who knows perhaps Republicans are suppressing the turnout - but not for the rats, only for their own Once-removed- brothers, Conservatives. In Ohio, Texas, Utah the GOPe has played their little games in this primary. The party plans their own way and it has no indication that will include us in any regard.
Spit in One Eyed Harry’s good eye.
“Trump will be like Emperor Caligula or Nero.”
LOL. And I guess you’d prefer Hilary? Trump has better chance of beating her in the general election because many Dems are willing to cast for Trump, but not for Cruz.
