Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is spot-on in reminding rank and file Democrats that President Donald Trump is: “a very, very smart man who won’t be easily beaten in 2020”.
Reid gets it while so many of his desperado Dem colleagues do not.
Mercifully, the Democrats are never in listening mode even when it comes from someone in their own Party."I used to think that Donald Trump was not too smart. I certainly don't believe that anymore," Reid, a Nevada Democrat who served in Congress for decades until his retirement in 2016, told "Axe Files" host David Axelrod in an interview airing Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on CNN. “The former Democratic leader had criticized Trump in harsh and colorful terms, calling him a "spoiled brat," "a con artist" and a "human leech who will bleed the country" in comments on the Senate floor in 2016.”Those insults were back in the days before sore-loser Democrats went on to smear Trump as an out-and-out “racist”.
“But Reid -- a savvy political operator whose moves to reshape Senate procedures, like his elimination of filibusters for most nominations by presidents, were criticized by Republicans during his time in Congress -- acknowledged in the interview Trump's strategy in discrediting Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry into his actions with Ukraine. (CNN)
"I don't think he's, intellectually, a powerhouse but he is basically a very, very smart man. No matter what the subject, any argument he involves himself in, it's on his terms. You're always arguing against him. He never, never, is willing to debate an issue on terms that aren't his," Reid told Axelrod.”How dare any non-Democrat president argue on his own terms? How dare the president continue to defend himself against media propaganda, all the lies and the smears?
“Asked how he would advise a candidate running against Trump, Reid warned, "Anyone that thinks Trump's going to be beaten easily should have another thing coming.” (CNN)Their egos have run away from them, Mr. Reid. They think their impeachment threats are going to make Trump “beaten easily”. For Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and many others waiting in the ‘Resistance Wing’, it will always be ‘Someday Over The Rainbow’.

“As Democrats have launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump, Republicans have either defended the President's actions or sidestepped the question whether it's appropriate that Trump asked a foreign government to investigate his political opponent.” (CNN)Nor should President Trump be overly concerned about ongoing negative Fox News polls. Fox is the network, but real Fox Donald Trump is always two steps ahead—even with the network and Drudge now joining Fake News leaders CNN and MSNBC in the fight against him. It is to our benefit that fellow Democrats can’t be called away from their obsession with a destined-to-fail Trump impeachment. Quintessentially President Donald Trump is the fox immortalized in the Steeleye Span song:
“Run, run, I won't give in Run, run, I'll never give in Run, run, run Run, run, run”For those in el Rushbo’s Rio Linda, that’s basically what Harry Reid was talking about.
