The Republican field for president in 2016 is full of “losers,” Harry Reid said in an interview that aired Wednesday.
The Senate minority leader, a boxer in his youth, delivered some spirited blows while talking with CNBC’s John Harwood, calling his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell “a lump of coal” and slamming alternative theories about how he sustained his eye injury.
“It shows the credibility of Rush Limbaugh. He’s the guy that got all of this started,” the Nevada Democrat said. “Why in the world would I come up with a story that I got hurt in my own bathroom with my wife standing there? How could anyone say anything like that.”
Reid has said that he is now “sightless” out of his right eye, following hospitalization for an exercise accident at his Henderson, Nevada, home in which he broke bones in his face and several ribs, along with a concussion.
“I think a lot of people, as I read, they kind of don’t like me as a person, and that’s unfortunate,” he said.
Reid also said he doesn’t really care who wins the Republican nomination for president. “I think they’re all losers,” he said.
The 75-year-old Democrat said he likes Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, adding that he spoke with Bill Clinton the other day and loves his sincerity.
Reid said Clinton tells him, “Harry, I love you,” at the end of every conversation.
“I am not a big fan of primaries,” he added. “I don’t think they help, especially when you’re someone as noted as Hillary.”
Pressed on whether he would have Vice President Joe Biden sit out the race, Reid said that only he would make that decision.
“He’s been around a long time, he can make that decision on his own, without my advice,” he said.
Pot meet kettle. Kettle, pot.
Of all people, he would certainly know losers! I believe he is speaking of his own constituents.
Now his wife was in the bathroom with him? The story keeps changing.
“calling his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell ‘a lump of coal’ “
Well, Harry...better to be a lump of coal than a piece of uh, “shaving cream.”
(Shaving cream, be nice and clean, shave every day and you’ll always look keen!)
He might be right.
Federal court: no liability for PA judge who made up criminal charge
And look at how many people, even here, are willing to chuck the Natural Born Citizen requirement because it would hinder Mr. Cruz from office.
(He was born in Canada, which means that the 14th Amd cannot apply to him; his citizenship is a result of congressional law, which means that he's a naturalized citizen.)
Well there are fifteen or so candidates for one position.
Dude got his @ss kicked by an exercise machine.
I wonder what woman beat him? Nancy Pelosi doesn’t look she has much of a punch, but Hillary is an outright pugilist from her time with Bill. She is used to beating men who are miserable weaklings.
Well, whoever biatch-slapped Harry Reid did their part in restoring a little karmic balance. He’ll still have to spend his next life as a cockroach, hagfish or banana slug.
Heard Harry Reid was associated with boxing. Been rumored that he was a punching bag. Might just be more than just a rumor.
” The Republican field for president in 2016 is full of “losers,” Harry Reid said in an interview that aired Wednesday. “
Well maybe, but at least they have a FACE, Harry....
” eyes without a face
got no human grace “
In the land of the blind . . .
I was directing my comment to Reid...unless your name is also Harry?
No problem.
Scott Walker, a loser? Didn’t he win 3 elections in 4 years in a blue state?
Marco Rubio? Didn’t he take on the entire FL GOP establishment and crush his competition in 2010? Same with Cruz in Texas?
Quite a definition of loser you have there, scumbag.
“”How could anyone say anything like that.””
I agree, Harry. Kind of like STATING FOR A FACT that someone had not paid their federal taxes for ten years. That’s terribly unfair and totally wrong if you ask me! Can’t blame you for thinking you got a raw deal from Rush...Doesn’t have anything to do with the $2,100,000.00 he got for charity when he put a letter up for bid from 41 senators smearing him, would it? Nah! Didn’t think so.
LOL, coming from the guy that got beat up this is rich.
His wife did it??? I knew he was a mousy little twerp, but beaten up by his own wife???
