No, @DeanHeller. Nobody's smiling. Your deciding vote to strip health care from tens of thousands of Nevadans is a disgrace.

Nevada is one state that is rapidly becoming bluer and bluer. Heller can go straight to...well, you know.

I lived in Las Vegas or Henderson for 25 years. The state is increasingly friendly during presidential years but Democrats don't win too many statewide races in midterms. The cow counties always show up. The electorate reports more self-identified conservatives than during presidential years.

To defeat Heller we're going to need a national slant of at least 4-5 points on the generic ballot. Very possible right now. But incumbents don't go down easily.

The strongest GOTV impetus will come from the blowhard in the White House, and the ghastly, murderous, treasonous GOP agenda.

Well, I was one in a line of hundreds, but I shook her hand. It was at the Grand Opening of her office in Henderson.

I've read recently that Heller is probably going to be primaried next year. Not by Joe Heck like I thought, but by Danny Tarkanian (complete fool). Here is the first paragraph in his Wikipedia entry:

Daniel John Tarkanian (born December 18, 1961) is an American businessman and perennial candidate for political office. A member of the Republican Party, he has mounted unsuccessful campaigns for the Nevada Senate (2004), Nevada Secretary of State (2006), the United States Senate (2010) and the United States House of Representatives (2012 and 2016). He most recently lost to Democrat Jacky Rosen in the November 8, 2016, general election.


Let's get used to saying "Senator Rosen."

to beat Sheldon Adelson(Dean Heller). Adelson Family owns Battle-Born Media,which owns and controls all of the print media in a few Radio Stations here in Nevada. And someone mentioned the Sharon Angle Twit to return for a shot at this seat.

What will be interesting is how Harry Reid's instate power prevails. For the most part,it still will be getting out Dem voters to the polls. Remember,in the past City Election in Vegas,we only got 8% of the registered voters to the polls. And as a result we now have Gun Humper Michele Fiore as sixth ward counsel person.

You know, the son of the basketball coach that left every school he ever coached on sanctions and had one of the lowest percent of graduating players.
I think Tarkanian has won almost every primary he's ever run in, only to get beaten in the GE
