Only McRINO could praise a snake like Harry Reid.

Via Politico:

Last Thursday, the nuclear option seemed inevitable — until Harry Reid started speaking with a man he once said he couldn’t stand: John McCain.

It was the same day that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that Reid would go down as the worst Senate majority leader “ever” if he made good on his nuclear option threat. But behind the scenes, Reid and McCain — working with Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and the two Tennessee GOP senators, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker — negotiated throughout the weekend and into Tuesday morning before reaching a deal on confirming executive branch nominees. […]

On Tuesday, these GOP senators dismissed talk that they were emerging as the new power players in the Senate with the ability to work their will with or without the support of McConnell and his leadership team. But it was clearly evident that the senators, and McCain in particular, had the sway to bring GOP votes across the aisle and solve a serious institutional issue — even if McConnell wasn’t taking the lead role negotiating a deal.

“We have a long history,” McCain said of his relationship with Reid. “We have had our clashes and our words that we wish we hadn’t [said] about each other. But there’s a bond that’s very deep and long between us.”
