Harry Reid Determined to be Dem Senate Leader Until Death
FrontPage Mag ^ | 11/5/2014 | Daniel Greenfield

It’s only a question of whether it’s his death or the death of his party.

Reid began the post-defeat spin by blaming everything on Obama. Now he’s running unopposed for Dem Minority Leader because the Democratic Party loves failure.

Harry Reid will run for Senate minority leader, and it appears he will have no significant opposition.

Senior Senate Democratic aides said Tuesday night that Reid would have the full support of his entire leadership team, despite his party incurring huge losses on Election Night.

Reid’s top three deputies — Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) — all have vowed to support Reid staying on as Democratic leader, according to officials in each of those offices.

Why not? He’s gotten so much done already. Think of all the Chinese businessmen he’ll be able to route to his son’s law office while his party prepares to crash and burn in 2016.

As Minority Leader, Harry Reid will bring the same spite and bitterness that had animated him up till now to the job of blaming everything on the vast Koch Brothers conspiracy. Finally the Senate will have a crazy old uncle whose main job will be hating everything.

“Nice work Harry, continued health to you and Nancy as the public face of the party.”

May God bless them with many decades of life to continue being the leaders and role models of the Rats.

Do we melt down the phone lines of Bernie Sanders with the request of "Run Bernie Run!"?

He is the only one that has the Hutzpa to do so and although a loon he actually believes in what he says....

Absolutely. This is a great plan.

“Keep him out front along with Debby Schultz, Al Franken and my personal favorite Shelia Jackson-Lee. Let them implode even more.”

Bring Biden in every once in a while for some great laughs as he exposes how dumb he really is.

Unfortunately, using honorable and that scub bags name in same sentense is non sequitor.

Actually, 'honorable Harry Reid' would be an oxymoron. The statements he makes to explain his statements would be non sequiturs.

Either way, he is well into the first stages of dementia.

my point was it doesen’t matter if the dems are majority or not, msm giesthem more facetime to get their message out/control the debate than our guys and gals.

i know it doesn’t always work but sometimes it does. look at 1992. worst economy in 50 years bs. 2008 worst economy at 5.1% unemployment.

the nazis were right. if the lies are big enough and said often enough people believe them. the whole msm say te same script. if they only let one side on to offer their opinion, and then create news around those quotes, the other side’s not represented by their own words, but by the media andliberal politicians attacking them in abstentia.

I know your point.

It didn’t work for them in this election, and they are rapidly losing audiences and Ad $’s.

The next PR battle may be on the social nets.

I can’t believe Al Franken got re-elected. But then Minnesotans elected a wrestler as governor, so it’s not surprising..................

Reid is the DemocRATS version of Jim Jones and they will earn the same result as Jones followers did.

Well, let’s go after them like we did the dems. Spend nothing on their product. Deny them our funding. Let them survive on the capital they earn from those who listen to them. Won’t take long... ;)

Reid and Obama may just bring the whole damn party crashing down around them if they keep this crap up. They could go the way of the whigs.

Reid and Nancy are great fundraising tools for the GOP.

Hairy Screed deserves anything that happens to him now and in the hereafter. Between now and then I hope to hear that he is sitting in a hospital ward somewhere with food dripping off his chin and his adult diapers full of crap.

“Harry Reid Determined to be Dem Senate Leader Until Death

His celestial kingdom awaits......”

Correction - his subterranean kingdom.
