Harry Reid on John McCain: "I just think he doesn't have the temperament to be president" -- and GOP Senators think that, too

Harry Reid was his usual blunt self talking about John McCain with Nevada reporter Jon Ralston. Reid has worked with John McCain for 26 years, so he speaks with experience. This is why we like Harry Reid. He says it like it is:

"I just think he doesn't have the temperament to be president," Reid told Las Vegas Sun columnist Jon Ralston during the taping of "Face to Face," in Denver on Wednesday. The show airs on a Las Vegas, Nev., cable channel.

"I've served with the man 26 years," Reid said. "Do I have the ability to speak with experience about someone who has abused everyone he's dealt with? Someone who does not have the temperament to be president, who's wrong on the war, wrong on the economy, wrong on nuclear waste. What am I supposed to do? Walk around talking about what a great guy he is? I don't believe that. .... "

"There isn't a Republican serving in the Senate that's happy he's the nominee. Now, they're all supporting him, but I'll tell you they have told me. I've had Republican senators tell me they don't think they'll vote for him," Reid said.

When Ralston asked if Reid thought it would be "dangerous" to let McCain be president, Reid answered: "Well, if you said it, I wouldn't correct you."

"Is that right?" Ralston asked. "You really think that?"

"Do I have the ability to speak with experience about someone who has abused everyone he's dealt with?"


I'm sick of having to hear about how people are "friends" with John McCain, even if it is the truth. If you are going to go that route, you should at least make other jabs about his character and how you're disappointed with him being a sell out hypocrite. , bc he sounds like an asshole to me.

3. Will integrety in the Senate win over the many good (so called friends) McCain has in the Senate?

I have my doubts that honesty will win out, those abused and with severe concerns will stay quiet.
