Reid Can’t Wait to Take On Trump

May 5, 2016 · 4:00 pm ET · 13 Comments

“Harry Reid is set to reprise his role as the top Democratic attack dog in a presidential election, focusing on what he calls the nomination of ‘anti-woman, anti-Hispanic’ Donald Trump,” Politico reports.

“The Senate minority leader launched a series of rhetorical broadsides against Trump on Thursday afternoon on a conference call ostensibly about the Supreme Court vacancy. Reid spent most of the time tossing bombs at Trump, adding that he would ‘certainly hope’ that he can use his prominent position — and unfiltered insults — to badger the billionaire on a daily basis. In many respects, it would be a reprise of what he did to Mitt Romney in 2012 and the Koch brothers in 2014.”
