12:20 am - Chuck Todd Signals Harry Reid Will Be Obama’s Fall Guy
As the writing on the wall became clear, “Meet the Press” host Chuck Tod signaled that it is Harry Reid who will be the fall guy for Obama’s and the Democrats’ devastating losses tonight. At the close of NBC’s coverage, Todd suggested Reid could lose his leadership position. Soon afterwards on MSNBC, Todd looked visibly angry at Reid and the soon-to-be-former Majority Leader’s refusal to let vulnerable Senate Democrats vote against Obama.
Because Reid tied up the Senate for 6 years and wouldn’t allow votes on bills Obama didn’t like, Democrats never got a chance to separate their voting records from Obama. This gave the GOP the message that created tonight’s wave: “So-and-So voted with Obama 98% of the time.”
Reid will fall because he deserves to fall. But this is also a move to protect Obama and blame-shift away from the awful policies that dragged the Party (and our country) down.
It is important for Hillary in 2016 and Obama’s legacy that tonight’s shellacking be spun into a strategic failure, not a policy failure.
Before the night even came to an end, moves to protect The Precious are already in play.
Reid will be the fall guy, but will get a soft landing...His wife, sadly, is very ill, so this is how it will play out...it'll be pre-arranged. He'll be elected minority leader, but in mid January..after a few weeks of the new Congress convenes, he will announce that he's retiring to take care of his wife. Reid looks good..a gracious exit...and since the GOP has a several seat majority, it makes no difference when Sandoval appoints a Republican to the seat.
