Reid Says GOP Will Lose House if Government Shuts Again

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that Republicans would be at risk of losing their majority in the House if the government were to shut down again in January, Roll Call reports.

Said Reid: “I don’t blame the American people for being upset. What we have here in America today is a crisis created for no reason, other than to satisfy the shrill right-wing Tea Party… All it did is hurt Republicans… I hope they’ve learned a lesson. The American people will not put up with that. And if this happens again, I don’t think it will, but if it does, I think the House of Representatives will go Democratic.”
