If Heller doesn’t jump on the bandwagon for the Wall and Deportations, his opponent should. Whoever does will Win big time.

Trump needs to tweet something nice about the challenger to help Heller make up his mind.

I will never vote for him here. There’s nothing he could do that would get my vote.

The famous 6 year metamorphosis of Republican senators, always occurring in conjunction with upcoming reelection years, in which they change from mealy-mouthed jellyfishes into no-nonsense conservatives. Before changing back after reelection.

Heller was one of the two or three who torpedoed Obamacare repeal.
