Harry Reid says he’s ready to return as Senate Democratic leader — win or lose the majority this November — so long as his colleagues are ready to support him.

He may get his wish.

A wide cross section of the Senate Democratic Caucus said in interviews that they are willing to back Reid as either majority or minority leader in the next Congress — no matter how controversial the Nevada Democrat has become as part of the furious battle for control of the chamber this fall.

Even if Democrats lose the majority, Reid’s top deputies and potential successors, including Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois and Patty Murray of Washington, are already committing to get behind the five-term Nevadan if he were to run as minority leader.

He is hoping for a 50-50 split so he can play the “share power” game again.

I would guess that the famous Pajama Boy is out of the running.

If Republicans can quit peeing on each others shoes long enough to FOCUS ON THE ENEMY, we “should” be able to pick up 10 seats, while retaining all the current seats.

The criminals control our government. More Democrats than Republicans, but they all are more interesting in expanding their power bases than in looking out for the American people. Reid is as crooked as they get.

There is a big power behind this creep. Every senator there, with maybe the exception of Cruz, are afraid of him.

Reid is just about the most dishonest person to ever have been elected to office. That is saying a lot. The gu has to be either insane, or so completely corrupt he doesn’t even know what honestly looks or sounds like any more.

If your party’s goal is to govern, Harry Reid is a disaster. if your party’s goal is to instigate and agitate, Harry Reid is your man.

After the next election he can lead them into retirement.
