Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) delivered some devastating
straight talk when he called the entire 2016 Republican presidential
field losers.
In an interview with CNBC, Sen. Reid (D-NV) was
asked who the Republican nominee was going to be, and he answered, You
know, I don’t really care. I think they’re all losers.”
The Republican Party has been proclaiming for years
that they have a “deep bench,” but a look at all of their presidential
candidates reveals a group that contains fatal flaws. Jeb Bush has been
out of office for a long time, and he is saddled with a last name that
is synonymous with political failure. Scott Walker is being dogged by
one of the worst economic records in the country. Walker’s only claim to
fame is union busting. Rand Paul is too libertarian for the Republican
Party and too Republican to be elected president. Ted Cruz is best known
for shutting down the government. Marco Rubio has a closet full of
personal finance scandals, and his initial support for immigration
reform doomed his chances of winning the Republican nomination.
There isn’t a single candidate in the Republican
field who Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be the favored on paper to beat.
That doesn’t mean that Clinton will win. What it means is that
Republicans lack the complete candidate that can go toe to toe with the
likely Democratic nominee from day one of the campaign.
It is rare to see a politician be as bluntly honest
as Reid was with his opinions. What Reid was suggesting is that any
Republican presidential candidate will be a loser as long as they are
stuck with their party’s anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-immigration, and
anti-middle class agenda.
The positions of the Republican Party are extremely
unpopular. It doesn’t matter who the Republicans nominate if that person
will be forced to carry the flag for positions that most Americans do
not support.
Republicans
have put together a team of losers, but that won’t stop them from doing
everything that they can to defeat Hillary Clinton.
