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.

Clintons are all about cash. Reid just wants a pay-off.
I trust Reid’s new exercise machine didn’t come from New York or Arkansas.
HA. This could be good. How do you suppose Hillary is going to take Harry trying to push her around?
A haiku:
Harry got beat good
By an exercise machine
Called “Guido’s right hook”.
This is because in most states, the governor appoints a replacement senator if a senate seat is vacant. So Harry doesn’t want a Republican governor appointing a replacement senator if Hillary’s running mate were a sitting senator. And in case they get elected, then the senator would resign to become Vice President.
Harry, Harry, lighten up. Yes, if Hillary won, the senate would be out one dem senator, who would be replaced by a republican governor. But this is going to be a temporary gig. The senator will be back come november.
Telling Hillary what she can and can’t do? What could go wrong with that?
Did Harry ever sue the maker of his exercise equipment which caused his injuries?? If not why not???
Thanks for the explanation. All I could think of is the old coot is off his meds.
I guess Dingy Harry is giving his blessing to Bernie from Vermont then?
Reid not smokem peacepipe with Senator from MA.
I love Haikus:
The Blue Screen of Death
Windows has lost all your files
No one hears you scream
I thought Dingy Harry was going to retire!
Really, I could respond to just about every thread with a haiku, including some which do not suck.
I admit most of them suck!
Reid reminds me of the strange old man who they let wander around the small town rather than put him in the care home.
In a party of totally insane people Harry Reid could be the Poster Boy.
Harriet’s life insurance better be paid up...
