Harry Reid: GOP's 2016 candidates are a bunch of 'losers'
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he doesn't give a hoot who wins the GOP presidential nomination because all the candidates have a singular flaw: They're losers.
"I don't really care," Reid said in an interview with CNBC when asked who he thought would win. "I think they're all losers."
Reid did not specify whether he meant the GOP's candidates were unable to win, or if he meant his insult as a more general, schoolyard diss. —Jon Terbush
