Speaking for the last time at a Democratic convention as a party leader or elected official, Senate Minority LeaderHarry Reid (Nev.) used the occasion Wednesday to unload on Donald Trump, calling him a “hateful con man.”
Reid blamed what he called the divisive tactics of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and other congressional Republicans for enabling Trump’s rise.
“His Republican Party decided that the answer to hard-working Americans' dreams is to slander our African-American president, stoke fear of Muslims, sow hatred of Latinos, insult Asians, and, of course, wage war against women,” Reid said.
“In other words, the only thing Republicans, like Mitch McConnell, have accomplished is setting the stage for a hateful con man, Donald Trump.”
Reid has served as the Senate Democrats’ leader since the 2004 election and helped pass some of the party’s biggest legislative accomplishments, such as the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
But his parting speech to the convention didn’t dwell on sentiment and memories, focusing instead on the party’s next generation of leaders such as Catherine Cortez Masto, who’s running for his Nevada seat, and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Clinton’s running mate.
“In a few months, I'll be stepping out of the ring, one last time. But Democrats will always — always — be in your corner. So together, let's keep fighting, together; fighting the good fight!” he said, alluding to his younger days as a semi-professional boxer.
True to his reputation as a pugilistic politician, he didn’t leave the stage without a hard parting shot at the GOP.
He argued that Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), want to put insurance companies in charge of the healthcare system, give free rein to banks and “gamble” with retirement benefits by encouraging people to adopt private investment accounts instead of Social Security.
“Republicans want to tear down the pillars of middle-class security. We won’t let that happen,” he said.
Harry needs that cheap labor flowing for those casinos.
So I won't tell you what I think you are.....
and let me project Harry. Trump is going to whip your scrawny little wrinkled butt.
Reid is one of the most disgusting pieces of human excrement to ever draw a breath
“Says the ‘Vegas mob’s bagman.”
Ain’t that the truth.
I hope he does not go to Hell. He still has time.
Harry Reid - The lowest of the lowest democrat dirtbags.
The man who made up the outright lie back in 2012 about Mitt Romney not paying taxes for 10 years.
Two years later, when questioned about his totally false fabrication Harry said “He Didn’t Win, Did He?”

Harry just quoted Romney.
Mitt Romney: “Trump is a conman, a fake”.
Didn’t Cruz say the same?
All the rhinos are voting for witch Hillary.
Fu(k ‘em.
Reid is a criminal sociopath.
So says the man who said that when the citizens visited the capital that it made it smell.
Like Chuck Schumer is going to be any better.
“Trump is a ‘hateful con man”.
Translation: Trump is winning.
.
Note to Harry: You spent those pillars of middle class
Security.
19 Trillion times!
Exactly!
Go, Trump, Go!
There. I fixed it.
Thing is, Trump will not hesitate to link Reid to corruption and would even mention the film. Reid should watch his arse.
