Harry Reid endorses Chuck Schumer to lead Senate Democrats
Washington Examiner ^ | March 27, 2015 | Kelly Cohen

Harry Reid endorsed Chuck Schumer to succeed him as Senate minority leader after he retires in 2016.

[Snip]

Reid predicted Schumer, the third-ranking Democrat in Senate leadership, would win the post without opposition. He also suggested any competition — specifically Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, with whom he spoke on the phone with Friday morning — should stand down.

Reid called Schumer "extremely smart" in the interview, adding that he would bring a "different style" to Senate leadership compared with Reid's soft-spoken nature.

Will this prevent him from being in the next Green Lantern movie?

We shouldn’t laugh too much.

Reid was a corrupt, mobster’d-up bully.

Schumer seems to be smarter, smoother, and more connected to the NYC Media and money than Reid was. IMO, we will find things tougher with Schumer in charge.

They don’t have anybody who can really handle the job….

You heap wrong!

And if not the Grannie Squaw, then how about Weird Al Franken, Leaky Leahy, Hot-to-Trot Menendez, Osama Mama Murray, Airhead McCaskill, Genius Stabenow, or Bernie the Worm Sanders? In fact, the Rats are loaded with top talent!

Upchuck schumer, the ultimate media whore. In the nyc media market we are plagued with him. If he goes national, it’ll be all Upchuck, all the time.

Schumer gets Reid’s endorsement?

Hopefully that’ll be the kiss of death.

Ever see the press conferences Reid held? Schumer is there looking at him, with obvious jealously, throwing daggers in his back.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Chuckie sent a message to Harry: you’re small potatoes, time to retire or the next exercise machine accident you have will do more than bruise your face.

Schumer would throw his mother into a Nazi boxcar if he could make a buck and advance his Himmler fascist agenda.

It looks as if Reid is planning to leave before his term expires - has anointed his successor.
