Not over yet: Reid cautions Democrats relishing Trump election battle

For some Democrats, Donald Trump may seem to be a gift - set to steer Republicans into a trainwreck election in November - but senior Democrat Harry Reid said on Thursday he worried people might be too confident.

"Am I concerned about it? Of course I am," the U.S. Senate Democratic leader said.

"I think this race could be a debacle for the Republicans," Reid added. "But I'm not taking anything for granted. I'm not being over confident."

"By nominating Trump, I guess it's the natural evolution of a party that's spent eight years defining itself entirely on what it's against: anti-immigrant, anti-woman,...anti-Obama, anti-working people," said the senator from Nevada.

Reid, who has called Trump a "monster," said there should be a closer look at Trump's business dealings and called on the real estate developer to open up his tax records.

Anti-working people? What nonsense is this? I daresay most Trump voters have jobs or are homemakers or retired.

Indeed, it is hard to imagine the taxpayers, other than lawyers, in this country turning out to vote for Hillary in droves!

Hillary has the welfare vote locked up, not Trump!

Trump needs to tell Dingy that he will open his tax records when Dingy tells us who beat the bejesus out of him.

We don’t owe Reid the time of day... Trump should give him NOTHING.

Let’s see the case against Hillary...

Reid’s patrons are in the casino business. Likely they know Trump from that business, and know he is one tough S.O.B.

A ‘debacle’ for the Republicans?

If Hillary wins, it’ll be a debacle for America.

“I think this race could be a debacle for the Republicans,” Reid added.
“But I’m not taking anything for granted. I’m
going to do every underhanded trick in the book
to make it so”.

Whoever popped him in the eye, needs to do it in the other.

“I think this race could be a debacle for the Republicans,”

I do love it when dimwits show concern over the Republicans and warn them.
