As Harry Reid said today, the question kind of begs: as this is what Donald Trump says. I mean he has said it and has not apologized for it or said he was mistaken, so this is his view point. And his general conduct as a serial philanderer-as Ted Cruz puts it-sort of confirms this.
"Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid ridiculed Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor Thursday for embracing Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, saying the Kentucky senator must also think women are “dogs and pigs.”
"Reid's feisty comments come as the real estate mogul is in Washington for a series of conclaves with House Speaker Paul Ryan, McConnell and other congressional and party leaders."
“It’s just the latest sign that Republican leaders in both houses are marching lock step with Donald Trump,” Reid said.

“It’s just the latest sign that Republican leaders in both houses are marching lock step with Donald Trump,” Reid said.
"Reid continued tying the Senate leader to the billionaire, accusing both of being obstructionists when it comes to acting on President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee and anti-women."
“Since Sen. McConnell has so enthusiastically embraced Trump, we can only assume he agrees with Trump’s view that women are dogs and pigs. We can only assume that the Republican leader is not repulsed by Donald Trump’s vulgar behavior toward women,” Reid said, pointing to an infamous interview Trump gave to Howard Stern as an example of how he views women.
"Reid added that Trump and McConnell can discuss their anti-immigration views, too. Trump has called Mexicans “rapists” and vowed to build a wall on the southern border that Mexico will pay for. He also wants to deport some 11 million undocumented immigrants. He has, however, taken a step back from his proposal last year to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S."
Uh, no, Politico, he has not. Sheesh.
“I assume that they can have a long discussion about the wall: how high it should be, how they’re gonna get the Mexicans to pay for the wall, even though most people think the idea’s insane,” Reid said. “Let’s not forget, Republicans have demagogued Latinos and immigrants for decades. They’re doing it today.”
"Reid derisively argued that Trump and McConnell will have plenty to talk about when they meet Thursday, including why the businessman should thank McConnell for his ascent to the top of the party."
“Donald Trump and the Republican leader should have a long, long conversation. They have a lot to talk about,” Reid said. “At some point in their conversation, Donald Trump should thank the senior senator from Kentucky. Trump owes his candidacy to the Republican leader and to the policies he’s led. It was an obstructionist, anti-woman, anti-Latino, anti-Muslim, anti-middle class, anti-environment and anti-Obama and anti-everything Republicans during the last eight years have made Donald Trump a reality.”

Again: This is why I've been saying since last July that Donald Trump is the best thing to ever happen to the Democratic party.

Just another reason I love me some Harry Reid. Another reason is what he said to Alan Grayson yesterday.
Harry just said 'Yeah, I said those things about you, but there's a very good reason for that: I want you to lose.'

When you look at what Reid is saying about McConnell you get why Paul Ryan, even after he and Trump had their big meet and greet today, is saying while 'ground was broken' is still warning about 'artificially unifying too early.'
"Look, it's no secret that Donald Trump and I have had our differences. We talked about those differences today. That's common knowledge," Ryan told reporters. "The question is what is it that we need to do to unify the Republican Party and all strains of conservative wings in the party. We had a very good and encouraging, productive conversation on how to do that."
"I was very encouraged by what I heard from Donald Trump today," Ryan added. "This is a process, it takes a little time. You don't put it together in 45 minutes."
"Trump took to his favorite medium, Twitter, to rave about his trip to Capitol Hill."
"Great day in D.C. with @SpeakerRyan and Republican leadership. Things working out really well! #Trump2016," he wrote.
"Ryan acknowledged that there are bitter divisions within the party, and the schisms aren't going to magically disappear overnight."
"The process of unifying the Republican Party, which just finished a primary about a week ago, perhaps one of the most divisive primaries in memory, takes some time," Ryan said. "Look, there are people who were for Donald Trump, who were for Ted Cruz, for John Kasich, who were for Marco Rubio and everybody else, and it's very important that we don't fake unifying, we don't pretend unification."

Yes, no fake unifying. We wouldn't want that. But, at least for now Ryan avoids being smeared for having endorsed the guy who says women are pigs and dogs. Or, for that matter, has a white nationalist delegate in California.
It''s all about 'mainstreaming' the White perspective.
