WASHINGTON — Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) isn’t happy that some of his party’s presidential candidates are pushing for Medicare for All and decriminalizing border crossings, two hot-button issues in the Democratic primary.

In a half-hour phone conversation with VICE News, Reid was blunt when asked if he thought supporting Medicare for All would be problematic in the 2020 general election.

Pretty much all the rat candidates are for those things.

Sounds like he got hit in the face with reality.

Sounds like he's scraping the bottom of the interview outlet barrel. He should call in to RUSH, he'd get 20 million more people aware of his position.

It will be MEDICAID FOR ALL with seniors being told to take a pill and die.

This will be necessary to take care of illegal immigrants who will be placed on the rationing scale above them.

Since he is the ‘FORMER’ senator, he can now say this. However, if he were still there, he’d be toutin’ ‘em too

I have lived in Nevada for over 25 years, and during most of those years, Reid was our senior senator. Pre-Obama, Dingy Harry was not a bad senator for a democrat. Once upon a time, he was fairly sensible. Now that he has returned to private life, it appears that the common sense of his younger days has reasserted itself.

“Death to America,” Harry said.

Reid: “People want a fair immigration system. They don’t want an open-door invitation for everybody to come at once.”

Translation: Reid wants to allow the Mexican cartel to continue to murder Central Americans on their way across the border. And have a GRADUAL migration over millions over several years rather than all to “come at once.”

The RATS don’t differ over the objective (open borders), just how quickly Americans detect we are being overrun by illegal invaders.

Open borders isn’t the objective, it’s the means to replace enough of working conservative America with a government-dependent reliable majority.

Why is he still breathing? I thought he had some sort of terminal cancer. He’s one politician that I truly despise.

Call it Medicaid for All. More accurate and better politics.

I thought of him the other day and had to check to be sure he hadn’t kicked. Can’t be long now.

Riiiiight. And if he were in charge, he'd be pushing for both. This is just concern trolling and DNC talking points from the PMS's.

Partisan Media Shills update.

He hasn’t died yet? That’s too bad.

So Reid thinks insanity is a bad idea. Apparently somebody knocked a little sense into him.
