Harry Reid: Mitch McConnell forged the path which led to the rise of Donald Trump

---------------------

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is slamming Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, suggesting the Kentucky Republican is leading his party toward GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

"As each day passes, the Republican leader continues to transform his caucus into the party of Donald Trump," Reid said Wednesday. "This is a path the Republican leader has chosen for his party, a path of demagoguery and lapsed constitutional duties, a path he forged which led to the rise of Donald Trump."

Reid's comments are his latest in a series of daily rhetorical attacks against McConnell and other top Republican lawmakers for refusing to give President Obama's forthcoming Supreme Court pick a hearing or a vote.

Reid on Wednesday chastised McConnell, suggesting that the Kentucky Republican is refusing to cut ties with Trump and that "all he cares about is appeasing Trump's lead in the party ... and Trump's radical followers."
