Harry Reid Determined to be Dem Senate Leader Until Death

It’s only a question of whether it’s his death or the death of his party.
Reid began the post-defeat spin by blaming everything on Obama. Now he’s running unopposed for Dem Minority Leader because the Democratic Party loves failure.
Harry Reid will run for Senate minority leader, and it appears he will have no significant opposition.
Senior Senate Democratic aides said Tuesday night that Reid would have the full support of his entire leadership team, despite his party incurring huge losses on Election Night.
Reid’s top three deputies — Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) — all have vowed to support Reid staying on as Democratic leader, according to officials in each of those offices.
Why not? He’s gotten so much done already. Think of all the Chinese businessmen he’ll be able to route to his son’s law office while his party prepares to crash and burn in 2016.
As Minority Leader, Harry Reid will bring the same spite and bitterness that had animated him up till now to the job of blaming everything on the vast Koch Brothers conspiracy. Finally the Senate will have a crazy old uncle whose main job will be hating everything.
