What can we say about Harry Ried's departure from the US Senate and his legacy?
No budget for 8 years (just Continuing Resolutions).
Ruinous Obamacare (he is it's real maker).
A Dysfunctional Senate.
Is the SOB gone?
Lowered the tone of the Senate so far that we’ll never go back to a more restrained era.
Got his rustler foreman in as the head of the BLM.
Uh, he’s still in the Senate, is just going to be the Minority leader instead, where he will engage in tactics far worse than he complained about the Republicans doing when they were the minority.
Has he resigned?
He is sill in Senate, he just isn’t Majority leader
No. He will still be leader of the Minority. The MSM will treat him as the de facto leader of the Senate (just as they still treat Pelosi) and get his opinion on everything McConnell does, even though McConnell will be helping the Democrats. It’s the Democrat Way.
Gone as the Senate Leader, thank God.
Now Harry's fending off Obama's furor in the wake of Obama's humiliating midterm defeat.
Heck, if Dems rallied its "stars" down to one big blowout rally, Obama maybe coulda survived (/snix)---Nancy Pelosi, .and for duhversity.... Al Sharpton and Luis Gutierrez, State Dept know-nothings---Susan Rice, Jen Psaki, and Marie Harf--that woulda emphasized Obama's "expertise" in foreign policy.
ROTFLMCO.
"I hereby dub you a major loser."
No budget for 8 years=republicrats/gop-e refusal to co-operate with the admin. Paid off by the Koch brothers to not go along. And no, hairy ain’t actually “gone”.
Gone? Like Eric Holder, who “resigned” some time ago?
Horrible thread. Got our hopes up. He’s still in the Senate, just minority leader
NYT REPORTED Obama called Harry Reid to broach a particularly delicate subject. It was during last year’s government shutdown and standoff with Republicans, but Mr. Obama’s frustration focused on one of their own.
Obama told Reid he suspected David Krone, Mr. Reid’s intensely loyal and influential top aide, of leaking to the news media, and requested that he stay away from future meetings.
It did not take much time for the president’s comments to reach Mr. Reid’s right-hand man. To Mr. Obama’s surprise, Mr. Krone was listening in on the call.
Suddenly, the aide piped up and made it clear to the president that he did not appreciate the accusation.
When Obama and Reid traveled to Nevada, to promote his immigration action, and allowed Reid to unofficially start his re-election campaign, public harmony contrasted with the private discord between the two men and their staffs....
... much of which has centered on Mr. Krone, a wealthy former cable executive whose defining principle is to defend Mr. Reid at all costs....(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
aiding and abetting.
He will be in control of Mitch and with the exception of maybe two, the rest of the Republicans. So he will still remain the majority leader. He will just be working behind the scene.
Don’t think things will change much the good old boy club thinks the own the place so far it looks like they do D.C. is the real ground hog day.
Harry Reid is Gone (Don’t Let the Door Hit you on Your Way Out the Senate)
***************
Guess it depends upon how loosely you define ‘GONE’.
Bingo. Think things will be different with old turkey neck? Don't make me laugh!
