CNN-Harry Reid: Trump is "spoiled brat," "a con artist" & a "human leech who will bleed the country"

Reid also said Trump would turn "America into a big scam just like Trump University," which has been the subject of lawsuits by former attendees who claim they were cheated out of money.

"Let's be clear about Donald Trump. He is a spoiled brat, raised in plenty, who inherited a fortune and used his money to make more money. And he did a lot of it by swindling working men and women," Reid said. "Why would he change as president? The answer is simple: Trump won't change. He is asking us to let him get rich scamming America."

Reid, who is retiring at the end of the year, also brought up Trump's appearance Wednesday at a black church in Flint, Michigan, where the GOP nominee was admonished by the pastor, Rev. Faith Green Timmons, for delivering partisan remarks. Trump adhered to Timmons' request in the moment, but on Thursday he said "something was up" with her.

"Trump is a human leech who will bleed the country and sit at his golf resort laughing at the money he has made, even though working people have been hurt and ruined," Reid said. "Trump doesn't understand the middle class. How could he? How could he understand working people, because he's only out for Donald Trump."

maybe it is but they still think being a democrat is somehow worse than all these things.

The Senate Minority Leader, going after the Republican nominee like that, would make for some interesting television, wouldn't it? Instead, we get treated to the likes of that dimwit Rep. Steve King to spew his depraved nonsense.

Yes, when you're at the beach they can be annoying as hell, but they are natural creatures of the earth and do not deserve being compared to Donald Trump.

Another retiree here! And yes, I guess you could indeed demand an apology for insults to leeches everywhere. But I won't - because most of those leeches are CONS. Both the vertebrate and the invertebrate kind.

Late 2007-Spring 2008. I was just as pro-Hillary then as I am now. I made some posts that criticized Obama. Nothing to do with ethnicity; I was just skeptical that an academic could really get shit done in DC, as opposed to good old-fashioned pols like Hill & Bill. Anyway, I got banned around May or early June, thus teaching me not to take part in a primary fight! Went on to vote for Obama that November and in 2012. Considering the Racist Republican Obstructionism he's had to deal with, I think he's done goddamn well!
