Is the plan for reid to act crazy so that dems can pull away and look sane
What do you mean “act”?
I don't see how the DEMs can pull away from this. They pretty much buy the accusations of the 13 women, plus they have the Billy Bush exchange.
Have you heard a single DEM say Trump is not a sexual predator? No. They just say that expressing what they believe is incendiary.
Same with Obama saying Trump is not qualified. His press Secretary says that Obama still believes that - he is just exercising discretion in expressing the belief.
