No no. I think Ensign wants Reid to stay because Reid is a very damaged goods.
Dodd in CT was toast but he decided to quit and the Dems may hold that seat in CT.
Instead Ensign is doing a typical Repuke maneuver which is to stand up for and defend a RAT bastard demoRAT whenever one happens to be on the ropes. Typical for Repukes to give aid & comfort to the enemy, when the enemy (demoRATs) don't cut the Repukes even a single micro-inch. It truly is the Stupid Party (Repukes) vs the Evil Party (demoRATs) and 99 out of 100 times, the Evil Party wins. That's why we need to throw every RINO out of office, from both the House & the Senate.
