Harry Reid: ‘I’m Kind of Pulling for’ Trump
Breitbart ^ | 27 Jan 2016 | Michelle Fields

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said Wednesday that he's considering backing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

"Look, we've gotten along fine," Reid said. "With that bunch of people running, I'm kind of pulling for him."

According to The Hill, Reid then tried to walk back his comments.

Asked about Trump's statement, Reid added, 'Oh, I remember the good old days when he did a fundraiser or two for me.'

Reid quickly walked back his comments, apologizing for joking about supporting Trump - whom he called a 'hateful demagogue who will do immeasurable damage to our country.'

'There's some things I shouldn't joke about,' he said from the Senate floor. 'The danger of a Donald Trump candidacy to our country is not a joke.'

On Tuesday Donald Trump appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe and spoke of his good relationship with Reid. From the Washington Times:
'I've always had a good relationship with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) . . .

Trump:
'But I've always had a great relationship with Harry Reid," Mr. Trump said. "Frankly, if I weren't running for office, I'd be able to deal with [Pelosi], I'd be able to deal with Reid - I'd be able to deal with anybody.'

'But I think Id be able to get along very well with Nancy Pelosi and just about everybody,' he said. 'Hey look, I think I'll be able to get along well with Schumer, Chuck Schumer. I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways.'

And people think Trump will wipe the floor with the Dims if he is elected?

I think not.

They think Trump hurts the Republican ‘brand.’

That’s what the consultants are telling them.

Can anyone imagine Cruz saying he could deal with Schumer, Reid and Pelosi?

Trump is total wolf in sheep’s clothing for the conservative movement. This is a New York Values liberal down to his bones. You can take the politician out of New York but you can’t take the New York values out of the politician.

When Harry Reid likes someone......everyone that’s a true Conservative...should run like the wind in the opposite direction.

I think the uniparty goal is Jeb ... but "anyone but Cruz" is good enough.

That was how Beck knew Newt was a progressive and Mitt was the next George Washington.

Adelson and Steve Wynn big GOP Donors

Adelson maybe the biggest

But he does his business in Nevada and has given to Harry Reid a lot of money

He is a Businessman not a fool

The dems are really in a panic. Bernie is a wild man. Hillary is pokey-bound.

They are looking around and just short of Obama hanging around for another few years, they may be concluding that Trump might be their only option.

They want deals.

As usual, you cruz supporters leave out the context. As the Donald would say, "Very Dishonest". Newt was not scorned for taking a picture with pelosi, he was scorned for jumping on the global warming bandwagon with pelosi. Trump did not say he would give pelosi and ried whatever they want, like the current repubs including cruz do now. He said he could make deals with them. Trump also said the deals will be good for America. Now maybe you have forgotten what that looks like because you think TPA and the corker bill were good deals. But they were not, and I assure you those are not deals that Trump would have made.

this is kinda like us pulling for Bernie. Those on our side, the pollsters, the consultants believe he’s easier to beat

Democrats have their own establishment class who think Trump is easier to beat like GOPe

The polls show Hillary is easier to beat than Bernie and Trump is easier to beat than Cruz. Hillary, Trump and Bush are the weakest candidates in the general election. Their negatives are far higher than the other candidates.
