I also think he had to battle his own party. I never, ever thought Harry Reid really had his back. I live in Nevada, and lost count of the emails and phone calls I made to his office that started with "Are you kidding me??!!" I really love the way he has kind of adopted the "I don't give a damn" attitude in his last year...it's too bad he really couldn't do it sooner. Hillary already has had to battle the bullshit for years, and has a damn steel spine. She won't give a damn if the Republicans get butt hurt. And if Chuck Schumer tries to pull the crap that Reid did, she will take him to the woodshed, probably publicly.
