Hillary Rodham Clinton losing the presidential nomination is trying to install her as the party&#8217;s majority leader in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>The groups are calling on Mrs. Clinton&#8217;s backers to withhold support for the party&#8217;s senatorial candidates across the country unless the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and the chamber&#8217;s Democrats pledge to elect the former first lady as majority leader, a post currently held by Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The [Democratic National Committee] may have undermined 18,000,000 voters, but we can do our best to make sure that the DSCC and the Senate don&#8217;t do the same,&#8221; the Clinton backers said in an e-mail to supporters Friday, a day after Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at the party convention here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As an American, I agree that Reid should be fired, but as a Republican and a Conservative, I like Reid right where he is&#8230;he&#8217;s led the worst Senate in history. While totally ignoring the Democrat agenda and focusing solely on ending a war that has almost been over since he took the position, he&#8217;s led the Democrat-controlled Congress into history books as the most useless legislative body ever.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Hillary would probably perform about equal to Harry, it&#8217;s just that we&#8217;d have to see her much more often on television. I&#8217;d think Democrats would want to focus on winning the election in Novemeber first but, Democrats aren&#8217;t known for their brilliant political manueverings. I love political sideshows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times&#8216; SA Miller writes that the Clinton supporters have decided that she should take &hellip; <a title=\"Edging out Dingy Harry\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=2524\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Edging out Dingy Harry<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberals-suck","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2524\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
