We will probably lose a seat or two and pick up a new seat or two. The House I think we can pick 5-10 seats.

Dean Heller's-R 2012 margin of victory over Shelley Berkeley-D was slightly over 1 percent.
Catherine Cortez Masto-D 2016 margin of victory over Joe Heck-D was slightly over 2 percent.
The 2018 NV Governors Race will be competitive.
Jacky Rosen-D is a better candidate than Shelley Berkeley-D

I can see Heck back in the race and he will throw every nickel of the Kochs' money into it. I voted for Jacky Rosen as my rep. I went to her open house on South Eastern. She's smart and she has what it takes, but she's new. Heck will fight dirty.

Heller shouldn't even get out of bed on primary day.
