Harry Reid Trolls GOP Colleagues by Pushing for a Vote on Trump’s Policies

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid engaged in some rather obvious political trolling today with a statement pushing for a Senate vote on Donald Trump‘s policies.

Reid argues that since Republicans in both chambers have “pledged loyalty to Trump,” they should have no problem voting for his “unconstitutional plan to bar people from entering the United States based on their religion.”

The Muslim ban is the only one of Trump’s policies Reid specifically names, but the plural reference presumably means Reid will try to push votes on everything else that Trump wants, including maybe that border wall that Mexico will totally pay for.

And then he got snarky:

Scheduling the votes can be done easily and efficiently under an open amendment process, with no interference to the light workload Senate Republican leaders have announced for 2016.

If Republicans are afraid to bring their standard-bearer’s policies up for votes, Democrats will hold Republicans accountable by seeking floor votes on Trump’s policies ourselves.

Or not. Like I said, pure trolling…
