    Well, whatever it is, it's apparently make him a multi-millionaire, so let's not lose any sleep over this one.

    It is amazing, tho. Even a month ago, it looked like Reid would be haunting pro-Americans forever. Now he's whatever people like that become. Gotta love that.

    Wounded Dems look for answers









    Greg Nash
    By Mike Lillis - 11/06/14 06:00 AM EST
    Stung by this week’s heavy defeat at the polls, Democrats on Capitol Hill are aching for leaders to find a new direction in the next Congress.
    The party suffered a long and painful night Tuesday as a GOP wave swept away its control of the Senate and carried Republicans toward their largest majority in the House in almost a century.
    Democratic leaders have blamed the results on a perfect storm of circumstances that conspired to make this a historically tough election cycle.
    ADVERTISEMENT

    Some rank-and-file members, however, are citing another factor: the timidity, as they see it, that has been shown by Democrats when it comes to confronting Republicans on the most pressing policies of the day.The agitated lawmakers have stopped short of calling for a new crop of leaders — so far — but they do want to see the party take a new, more aggressive tack in the next Congress and beyond.
    “We spent six years dancing in the middle and not providing an assertive contrast to the Republicans, and we’re paying the price for it,” Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said Wednesday by phone.
    “There has to be an attitude change and a strategy change. I don’t know if that necessarily involves leadership,” he added. “We’re always playing on the defensive.”
    Rep. Bill Pascrell agreed, saying there’s “no doubt” Democrats “need to do something different.”
    “To continue on the same pace that we’ve been going is like ignoring what everybody sees,” he told The Hill Wednesday, “and that’s not very healthy for our party.”
    The New Jersey Democrat insists he’s not promoting any specific leadership changes — “We’re not against anybody here; we’re trying to get a new path” — but he is in the process of urging fellow members of his party to support a delay in this year’s leadership votes in order “to take inventory” of the party’s future.
    “It’s time to take a deep breath in our party, and I would not be so anxious to take a vote and get it over with [this month]. I think that would be a big, big mistake. ... If you’ve got to come back in December, so be it,” Pascrell said.
    “Most of them agree,” he said of his colleagues’ response to his suggestion, “but I don’t know if they have the political courage to stand up.”
    Tuesday’s election results seemed to catch even the most pessimistic Democrats by surprise.
    In the Senate, Democrats lost at least seven seats, with three others hanging in limbo Wednesday evening. Still, outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) didn’t hesitate in announcing his intent to remain atop the party next year.
    “Sen. Reid will run for minority leader,” spokesman Adam Jentleson said Tuesday night.
    In the House, Democrats fared better, relatively speaking. While they lost at least 13 seats — with several others still too close to call — that’s roughly half the average number (29) historically lost by the president’s party in a sixth-year midterm.
    “In short, it could have been worse,” said Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.), head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
    Still, House Democratic leaders had hoped to keep their losses in the single digits, and the GOP gains are on track to give the Republicans their largest numbers advantage since 1929.
    “It may be a hundred-year majority,” Rep. Greg Walden (Ore.), head of the Republicans’ campaign arm, said Wednesday.
    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), who’s steered the Democrats since 2003, announced late Wednesday afternoon that she would like to keep that role for at least two more years.
    In a letter to House Democrats, she announced a new initiative to promote voter participation, adding, “This basic and even non-partisan challenge, which many of you told me you share, has convinced me to place my name in nomination for Leader when our Caucus meets.”
    There’s very little doubt that both Pelosi and Reid can keep their leadership positions in next Congress — with good reason. Both leaders are prodigious at raising funds and have been highly effective at uniting their diverse members during even the toughest legislative battles.
    Grijalva, for one, said he would readily support Pelosi as head of the party next year.
    “She can provide [an] attitude change as easily as anybody else can, if not better,” he said. “You don’t throw out somebody’s that been through these battles.”
    One former House Democrat, a strong Pelosi ally, said Wednesday that those blaming party leaders for Tuesday’s election results “misunderstand” the real reason behind the Democrats’ tough outing.
    “We did as badly as we did yesterday because of where we had to run,” the Democrat said.
    Thomas Mann, congressional expert at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution, said there’s “no gain” for the Democrats in replacing Reid and Pelosi just as the focus is shifting to the newly empowered Republicans.
    “Reid and Pelosi are both skillful leaders,” Mann said. “It’d be silly to change leadership now.”
    Still, a Democratic strategist said Wednesday that the window on the current crop of party leaders might be nearing a close, especially in the House, where a younger group of up-and-coming lawmakers is itching to get onto the leadership ladder.
    The strategist predicted the generational shift will gain momentum over the next two years and emerge in full after the 2016 elections.
    “There’s a growing appetite for new voices at the table making decisions,” the strategist said.
    A Democratic leadership aide said Wednesday that no timeline has been set for this year’s leadership elections.
    Pascrell, meanwhile, says he’ll continue to push for a delay in that vote for the sake of a more deliberative process. Until those discussions happen, he said, he’s not ready to rubber-stamp anyone.
    “I believe that Nancy Pelosi is a patriot and a great American. It’s time to take a deep breath, that’s what I’m saying,” he said.
    “She may, at the end of the breath, come up the leader,” he added. “But not yet; not yet.”

    Reid: Why can’t we all just … get along?

    posted at 12:01 pm on November 5, 2014 by Ed Morrissey


    Consider this karma avoidance by the soon-to-be-ex-Senate Majority Leader, but Harry Reid’s new act won’t fool anyone, least of all Mitch McConnell. Reid has run the US Senate for the past eight years like a dictatorship, steadily eroding minority privileges to the point where Republicans couldn’t offer amendments or put up any significant resistance to Barack Obama’s radical appointments, unless Democrats forced Reid’s hand on either score. After watching his party lay a historic egg in the midterms — the size of which is still not yet fully known — Reid tried spinning the results as a mandate for the kind of compromise that he’s blocked ever since winning control of the upper chamber in 2006:

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has reached out to his presumed successor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, saying that he hoped they could work together “to get things done” in Washington.

    In a statement, according to Mediaite, Reid said, “I’d like to congratulate Senator McConnell, who will be the new Senate Majority Leader. The message from voters is clear: They want us to work together. I look forward to working with Senator McConnell to get things done for the middle class.”

    Er … sure it was. The actual message was entirely a repudiation of the shove-it-down-your-throat approach and demagoguery exemplified by Reid’s leadership and Barack Obama’s attitude. The 2010 midterms sent that same signal, but Reid ignored it and amplified his dictatorial approach in the aftermath of a narrow 2012 win. He’s still not getting the message — or more likely, is willfully ignoring it in order to benefit himself.


    Evidence of that has already been provided by Reid and his team. Despite coughing up the worst midterm results in a generation, Reid wants to continue at the helm of Senate Democrats:

    Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) does not have any second thoughts about staying on as the Senate Democratic leader after the drubbing his party took on election night.

    Spokesman Adam Jentleson vowed that Reid will lead his party’s remaining members in the chamber next year.
    “Senator Reid will run for minority leader,” he said Tuesday.

    Not so fast
    , said Chuck Todd last night. While his colleagues in the Senate have been either quiet or publicly supportive, the extent of this collapse will almost certainly mean that Reid will be gone from caucus leadership in January:


    video at link below

    “I don’t think — I will be surprised if Democrats keep Harry Reid,” Todd, the moderator of NBC’s “Meet The Press,” said late Tuesday night. “I think this is going to be an open question inside the Senate Democratic Caucus.”

    Todd’s remark, made during a late night NBC News livestream, was among the boldest calls made by a member of the media on Tuesday, and certainly the most dire for the current Majority Leader. It’s not an unfair projection, either. As Nevada’s Jon Ralson recently reported, Reid’s “vaunted political machine” failed to drive Democrats to the polls this year, and Reid’s poor Senate stewardship has “induced senators and candidates he has helped to muse openly about not voting for him as leader.”

    Dylan Byers notes that the other three leaders in the Senate Democratic caucus had pledged their support before the election, but that was then … and this is now. Now includes the very real possibility that two members of Reid’s caucus already have reasons to switch sides, and keeping Reid around will almost guarantee that Republicans will pressure Mitch McConnell to make the Democratic wilderness as miserable as Reid made the Republican wilderness. If that happens, both Angus King and Joe Manchin will certainly bolt, and Democrats may face another round of key retirements in the next two years, which will eat into their ability to regain the majority in 2016.


    McConnell doesn’t have any incentive to make that situation on Reid any easier, and plenty of incentive to force Reid out. McConnell may want to return to normal order, but not with Reid across the table from him. If McConnell wants to play hardball, all he needs to do is insist that Democrats shun Reid entirely — no leadership position, no ranking-member position on committees — for the next two years, in exchange for returning to the pre-Reid Senate environment. If not, McConnell can promise that Republicans will follow the Reid precedent in suppressing minority participation, all the while reminding Senate Democrats that they enthusiastically supported those rules when they enjoyed the majority. Democrats may grumble, but in the end they’ll cave.


    And they should, because not only did Reid put them in this position, but he’s easily the most despicable member of their caucus. He’s revived McCarthyism on top of ruining the comity and effectiveness of the Senate, and more. David Bernstein recounts how history should remember the Reid Era in today’s Washington Post:

    For one thing, I’ve made a mental note of the seemingly racist comments Reid has made, starting in 2004, when he asserted that Justice Scalia is “one smart guy” whose reasoning is “hard to dispute” while claiming that Justice Thomas “has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. I think that his opinions are poorly written.” (One can certain argue about Thomas’s ideology, temperament, and lack of respect for precedent, but his opinions emphatically are not “poorly written,” and for some time he seems to have had at least as much influence on Scalia as vice versa).


    For another, his recent vilification campaign against the Koch Brothers was, to turn his own words against him, “unAmerican.” Beginning in early 2014, he launched almost daily (and often factually inaccurate) verbal assaults on the Kochs from the Senate floor, and also established a website,www.kochaddiction.com, dedicated to the Kochs’ purported misdeeds. To get an idea of the tenor of the site, a page headlined “meet the Kochs” introduces them as “producers of toxic chemicals, harmful pollutants, carcinogens, greenhouse gases.”


    Among other insults, Reid called the brothers “unAmerican” and “power-hungry tycoons.” UnAmerican? Really? Didn’t that sort of thing go out with McCarthy? And, ironically, if we’re talking “unAmerican,” how about trying to squelch political speech you don’t like? …
    Reid and his allies wanted to warn other potential Republican donors that they would face a public smearing if they also gave to GOP candidates. For someone as powerful as Reid to threaten private citizens in this way for pure political gain to my mind makes someone unfit to be a Senator, much less majority leader.

    Reid has been a blight on American politics for long enough. If Democrats won’t clean up their mess on their own, then McConnell should force them to do it, for their own good. Reid is the last person in the US Senate to suddenly discover his sheet music for “Kumbaya.”
