Pro-Trump Outside Group Plans to Target Sen. Heller (R) for his opposing GOP health bill

[Honeycombe8]

The barrage attacks against Heller will be backed by $1M (by America First Priorities) blitz in his home state of Nevada. Heller has stated he can't support the bill because of its cuts to Medicaid. He's up for re-election in 2018. I kinda feel sorry for the guy. He can't vote for it, if his state wants to keep Medicaid as it is, but he'll be mercilessly attacked if he doesn't vote for it.

If he votes for the bill, though, that would give any Democratic opponent in 2018 a leg up, I would think.

1. Rich people are more important. He'll vote yes.

2. Of course. GOP donor billionaires want tax cuts to make them more wealthy.

So the donors will invest some money into ads. If you're worth 20 billion, sinking $1M into some ads is nothing.

3. All Out Of State Money...

Reno (where I live) Voted For Hillary As Well As Las Vegas. Nevada Voted Blue.

Only The Rusty Truck Desert Rats (Mostly White Hypocrite Food Stamp/Welfare Takers) Voted For Trump, They Come
To Town Once a Week For Fixin's And Ammo.

5. Your discription hits ths spot on.

Heller knows he will be threaten by Trump and Pence. My hunch is he will fall in line once the numbers on the campaign check hits a certain number. He knows his number is up here in Nevada. Take the money and run.

8. It'll be interesting to see what he does. nt

10. Said this before.

When the Bribe(Campaign Donation)reaches a magic threshold,you receive a YES vote. The King Makers on the Stripe have a Patronage job for him.

11. That's probably true, if he doesn't have a good chance of winning re-election, anyway. nt

12. Sure looking that way.

Going to be a real interesting Senatorial Campaign,someone wants this Guy Burned big time.

4. In the end Republicans are all going to fall in line

Same as 2016.

Remember all the stories about the "Never Trump" Republicans we heard?

6. Why feel sorry for him? Each of us has tough choices to make in life....

...this man may not have known exactly he'd have these decisions to make, yet he knew for damn sure he'd have unpopular decisions to make while holding the office he chose to accept.

We all have tough choices every day. Buy medicine or food. Public transportation or car pool or drive? Replace shoes/clothing or repair/mend them? Again. I know grass fed beef is better for my body yet the big box grocery store has a sale meaning 60% savings for me.

I challenge your thinking that this man is a victim. It matters in the long run/big picture.

9. I feel sorry for him because he wants to not have Medicaid cut, ...

but he's between a rock and a hard place. A lose-lose position.

It's good for a Democratic opponent, so I'm not rooting for him to get re-elected.

Of all the ones who have expressed concerns about the GOP bill, he is the only one so far that has been targeted. I guess that's because his re-election is 2018 and he's on shaky ground. He also is the only one who came out and said he couldn't vote for it. That's not the way Rand Paul put it. Rand Paul said the goal is not to prevent the bill from passing, but to "make it better." Political sidestep talk.

7. To vote against will test gop senators

The gop will attack, no doubt at all
