Add Harry Reid to the list of troubles dogging Hillary Clinton as she stumbles toward the Democratic nomination for president.
The powerful Senate minority leader delivered an unusual warning to Clinton on selecting a running mate, vowing to "do whatever I can" to stop her from choosing a Democratic senator from a state led by a Republican governor.
“If we have a Republican governor in any of those states, the answer is not only no, but hell no and I would do whatever I can, and I think most of my Democratic colleagues here would say the same thing," Reid, D-Nev. said on MSNBC’s “AM Joy” Monday. “I would yell and scream to stop that.”
..
Reid’s bid to forestall that scenario would rule out some high-profile names that have been floated as possible Clinton VP picks, such as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.

Sounds like Reid can read the Tea leaf for a Trump victory...
He doesn’t want the chance of not winning the Senate back...
one or two seats either way will make a huge difference in who runs the Senate...
He’s going to get retired if he keeps running his mouth.
I found out recently haikus have layers of meaning and subtle subtext behind them, or at least they’re supposed to.
I went to public school; it’s best I keep it simple:
I respectfully
Disagree with your thesis
You’re a poopy face!
Whenever I try to take it to the next level of class and civility, the inevitable still happens:
Leaves fall on calm pond
The oak watches, eternal
You’re a poopy face!
✔ for that explanation.
That’s easy enough. Pick a screwed up liberal from the Land of Jerry and be done with it.
He’s smart. A Republican Governor would appoint a Republican Senator. That’s not a threat. It’s good political advice.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that Dingy is trying to dump Bernie Sanders off on Hillary.
Why,Harry? It is not your business!
Thanks, I see.
IOW, Reid wants the VP nod -- and wouldn't that help Hitlery sew up the Mob support she so desperately needs? Worked in Vegas! Thanks Helicondelta.
You might be very right about this.
Dingy is very connected to the CA powerbase and other than Pelosi, they are NOT dumb.
Trump needs to be prepared for a possible Hillary/Commie ticket.
Since they don’t have to resign the Senate to run for VP (Paul Ryan actually ran for VP and for his House seat in 2012), it doesn’t really matter. It would only matter if they won, and well, that’s not going to happen.
Hey, you can’t know I’m a poopy face!
I covered over my iCamera on my iMac so I won’t be iSnooped!
