WASHINGTON – Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid D-Nev., on Friday announced he would not seek re-election in 2016, throwing the succession spotlight on Sen. Dick Durbin D-Ill., the number two Democratic leader and Sen. Chuck Schumer D-NY, a rung down on the leadership ladder.
Durbin and Schumer will now be pitted in a leadership fight – and be looking over their shoulders at other up and coming ambitious younger Democratic senators who may try to leapfrog over them. Among them: Sen. Patty Murray D-Wash. and Sen. Amy Klobuchar D-Minn.
Progressive organizations jumped in right away pushing Sen. Elizabeth Warren D-Mass....

CELEBRITY DEATH MATCH
Dirty Dick Durbin Vs. Schumer The Tumor
Which one can out-scmbag the other and claim the title?
Sen. Patty Murray is perfect: a blithering idiot whose sole qualification for holding office is her ovaries. Well, that and she did manage to snooker Paul Ryan into a one-sided budget compromise.
Don’t get fooled again, no no.
Yeah Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
It’s definitely got to be Patty!
She has the potential for greatness, the Debbie Wasserman Schultz of the Senate!!!
Chicago Mob vs Clinton Crime Family
should be interesting
I think Schumer would win over Durbin. Schumer may be way Left, but every time Durbin speaks.... (eek)
Senate vs WH?
Durbin versus Schumer. We get rid of one evil bastard and up pop two more.
I think they are both “well qualified” to continue the Hairy Reed tradition. Old, snarky, far left, and street fighters.
Dumbocrats = libtards
and they are idiots elected by idiots
who now are a majority in the ussa
the ussa pravda media brainwashes the useful idiots / drones / parasites.....
leaving part time crime to devote full time...
The story here is Reid stepping down. I wonder if he’s been made aware that the scandals we’ve been hearing about are soon to surface for him in a bad way?
No way he’d be giving up this much power if he didn’t think he was cornered, IMHO.
I was on a flight recently with Schmucky Schumer. Watching him eat reminded me of a blender with the top off. A truly loathsome and despicable character.
What can be said of the toxic Durbin? A horrible human being...
I figure it’s the Syndicate making him an offer he can’t refuse.
Yhup, just look at the three of them Schumer, Reid and Durbin. Have you ever seen three sleazier looking politicians?
I would go with Durbin as he would be the most likely to be indicted. He is also older so he may have a shorter life expectancy.
Either that or Hillary's promised to make him Secretary of Defense or something.
It would seem that the new boss will be worse than the old boss no matter what.
