Harry Reid, former Senate majority leader and Democratic kingmaker, dies at 82
Harry Reid, who rose from abject poverty in rural Nevada to become one of the most influential state and national leaders, died on Tuesday, sources confirmed to The Nevada Independent. He was 82.
Additional details were not immediately available.
Reid was thought to be ending the near of his life when he underwent surgery in 2018 for pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rates. Last summer, however, Reid announced that he underwent an experimental surgery and was declared in “complete remission” and cancer-free.
Over more than three decades of service in Congress, Reid earned a reputation for fighting relentlessly to protect his home state and everyday Americans. As Senate Democratic leader for a dozen years, he played an instrumental role in passing the Affordable Care Act and shepherding through Congress pivotal economic recovery legislation in the wake of the Great Recession.

A friend survived almost three years after surgery, but it spread to the lymph nodes.

How many elections did the GOP lose in NV because of his corrupt SEIU union buddies and others?

I wouldn’t even hazard a guess. He’ll probably have to be corkscrewed into his grave.

All this rising from poverty to become a big shot crap has not produced good results, over all, I think. Makes for hungry, unprincipled demagogues with no regard for basic decency. Let's not overlook Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand, Kathy Griffin, Elizabeth Warren, Maxine Waters...
One outstanding exception would be Justice Clarence Thomas.

Hillary was raised middle class, but she just naturally has no sense of decency.

Someone get a mallet and a wooden stake. It’s the only way to be sure.
