What Reid is saying if you consider the comments to Bash last year and those to Terris recently is that the ends justify the means in all cases.

And interestingly enough, Lizzie Warren seems to have made a number of numerical mistakes on her taxes!

This is the response the Bolsheviks would give “the end justifies the means”. I remember Bill Clinton acknowledging that JFK and LBJ prob. didn’t win the 1960 election, that it was stolen in Illinois and Texas.

Not saying that Schumer & cohorts would have been different without the guidelines put down by the lamentable Sen. Reid, but what he got away with is a part of their tactics.
The irony though is, of course, it is his, Reid, prior use of the Nuclear Option that is what gives us the 50 + VP choice for Kavanaugh. When Reid threw out the 60 majority requirement, we lost then but are gaining now (I HOPE!)

I went back to Reid’s 3/31/2015 interview with Dana Lash.

Wow has the world changed since then.
