Harry Reid praises Trump as 'a very, very smart man'
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 11, 2019 | John Gage

Posted on 10/11/2019 8:06:24 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Harry Reid had high praise for President Trump calling him "smart" and hard to beat in a recent appearance.

"I used to think that Donald Trump was not too smart. I certainly don't believe that anymore," the former Senate majority leader told David Axelrod in an interview preview that aired Friday on CNN. "I don't think he's intellectually a powerhouse, but he is basically a very, very smart man. No matter what the subject, any argument he involves himself in, it's on his terms."

The 79-year-old Nevada Democrat said the Democratic presidential contenders should not be under the illusion that Trump would be beaten easily in 2020.

In August, he warned that his party's presidential candidates were taking far-left positions that were hurting their chances of beating Trump. He specifically pointed to "Medicare for all" and decriminalized border crossings as two potentially hazardous positions for Democrats.

I think his name is “Maeybe A. Gurl”, or something like that.
The name sounds like a joke, but ‘he’ is serious about running, albeit in high heels.

“We have George Patton in the White House”.

And our Patton has put the bastards on Defense. Our Patton, like General George Smith Patton, Jr., knows that Defense doesn’t win wars.

That’s very coherent from a man whose soul and wit are comprised of mashed potatoes.

Could the reason TRUMP doesn't want to release his taxes is because people would call him a dummy for paying too much in taxes? Nah, TRUMP us too smart! lol

Reid and Pelosi aren’t leftists. They are deep state actors who hold an elected office which enables their friends and families to legally steal from the US Treasury.

You don’t have to be a genius to beat the left, but you do have to have a backbone... Trump is smart and a fighter.

“You don’t have to be a genius to beat the left, but you do have to have a backbone... Trump is smart and a fighter”.

Trump has them on the Defensive. Being on the Defensive does not win wars. Trump is a quarterback. They have no quarterback in the game.

If anyone ever wondered what would happen if Patton was President then this is it.

I do however have one big disagreement with Patton, and that is how he thought he could conquer Russia.

The only way would have been to Nuke them into the stone age.

Now, after seeing Mitt Romney stab conservatives and Trump in the back over and over again, I am glad that Dingy Harry stabbed Romney in the back with the phony tax story. It is interesting.

Good point and I agree.

In that sense, Patton and Trump are not on the same page.

If Patton had seen how our troops are treated now and ROE issues, he would have done the same.

And then....Turkey is in NATO and that's the long and short story.

“I used to think that Donald Trump was not too smart.”

Only an idiot would think such a thing about a massively successful person.
