Washington (CNN) - Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid blasted Republicans Thursday for being responsible for the rise of Donald Trump -- tying his Capitol Hill rivals Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan to the GOP front-runner.

"They should both put on 'Make America Great Again' hats and stand behind Trump at his next press conference. Be a mini-(Chris) Christie, I guess," Reid said, referencing the New Jersey governor's endorsement of Trump.

"The Republican establishment acts bewildered. But they shouldn't. As much as they may try to distance themselves from Trump now, Republican leaders are responsible for his rise," he said.

"When Trump calls immigrants rapists and murderers, he's just doing what he's learned from generations of conservatives," McConnell said. "The Republican Party has become the party of Trump."

He also spoke about Ted Cruz: 

"I have to say this about Cruz: He at least has some principles, I don't like what he stands for, but he stands for something," Reid said. "I'm not as turned off by Cruz because he stands for things. Trump stands for nothing."

I share his views on these issues, Trump is just a lot of hot air when it comes to policies and solutions. Not to mention, his 'commitment' to ending these loop holes with business practices are downright lies. He'll be a president for a max of 8 years, meaning he'll be returning to the business world after presidency. He's not going to shove a stick in the wheel of his money-making bicycle, he'll give it a shiny new gear shift and use his added influence, or, his family will.

So concerns of him starting a nuclear war are unfounded.

Actually, she's a lot different. She has policies and solutions that are actually stated, and somewhat vetted. Trump hasn't given any indication of how he'd go about accomplishing these giant goals he's set. Hillary's agenda is mostly to accept legal-bribes from large wall-street banks and companies that will buy her votes, and in turn, they buy her the presidency. While they're both in it for the money, Hillary actually has some strength behind her policies. While it's not a lot, its better than none, ie Trump.

Her goals are scary, though.

Harry says it like it is. Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and John Boehner should get the **** out of the country and go **** up some other Republican Party. It takes a bunch of clowns to introduce a bigger one.

this. His supporter's saying they like Trump bc he speaks his mind are so full of **** and the one's who support him bc of his ideas are just as bad- he's saying absolutely nothing but racist soundbites. He stands for nothing and yet they bashed Obama for an oversimplified plan when Trump is not even giving them a plan.

The republican politician that said the gop has fallen to being the "stupid" party could not have been more right. Political views aside there are a few conservatives who do actually mean well but they're drowning in a sea of unintelligent white supremacists that have made Trump their chosen leader

This is just my opinion, but the GOP needs to reform the party. They should stand up for conservative issues like checks and balances on government spending, reform free trade, reform on issues that apply to everyone, drop backing archaic social positions that makes people feel we're still getting through the 1970s.

They need to focus on 21st century issues when it comes to conservatism: on the economy, on military budget, and win back minorities instead of alienating them. There are Log Cabin Republicans and Republicans from many different minorities, so why alienate even those among them? Stay out of religion, keep your guns but with more secure background checks that check mental health of the buyer and those close of kin, and they need to quit trying to repeal roe vs wade and the recent equal marriage laws. Women want to choose and gays wish to marry, so what? Live and let live, it's a free country and It's the law now, so let us move on.  I think there are bigger fish to fry among issues than keeping up these old fights that get conservatives no where.

These are part of the reasons I became Independent, because being conservative suddenly got wrapped up in fights I didn't want part of. The Republican Party needs reform if they are going to survive this century and they could start by reforming education in this country because heaven knows we need it more than ever.

Stand in the light, cast your shadow.
