Former Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has issued criticism of the new progressive policies championed by Democrats as they head towards the 2020 presidential elections.

According to Fox News:

Former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid had some harsh words for his party’s presidential candidates, rejecting some of their health care and immigration policies as too extreme to resonate with voters in a general election.

Reid, during a newly published interview with Vice, specifically took aim at “Medicare-for-all” and calls by many candidates to decriminalize illegal border crossings. The blunt-talking former Nevada senator suggested any Democratic nominee running on these issues could face trouble.

“People want a fair immigration system. They don’t want an open-door invitation for everybody to come at once,” Reid said in the interview with Vice. When asked if supporting decriminalization could be bad for Democrats in 2020, Reid said, “Of course it is.”

…

“There are so many more important things to do. Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list,” he said, stating that “it should be way, way down at the bottom.”

Reid has not endorsed any of the Democrat candidates yet and has stated that he will wait until the Nevada caucuses to do so.
