"SNIP.............
"Republicans have not done their basic work of government," he said.
The outgoing Democrat linked the actions of GOP lawmakers to Trump, arguing the party had, in fact, created him.
"Everything that he's said, stood for, done in this bizarre campaign that he's run has come filtered up from what's going on in the Republican Senate," Reid said. "Disagreeing with everything, anything that President Obama wanted. They filibustered things they agreed with just to slow things down."
Reid continued: "Trump is no anomaly. He is the monster the Republicans built. He is their Frankenstein monster. They own him. All you have to do to see that the Republicans are the party of Trump is to look at the way they've treated him."

(6,496 posts)4. Hey, now that comparison is an insult to Frankenstein's monster :)
Anyone else watch Penny Dreadful? Frankenstein had a few monsters on that show. They weren't so much monsters as people brought back from the dead and made into powerful immortals. I loved his first one, John Clare, and he was worlds better than Trump.
I see the comparison though. Trump is like an out of control monster for sure and he would never be running if it weren't for the toxic political environment that the Republicans cultivated over the the past few decades.
