Liberal Magazine: Nevada Dems Are Imploding

It’s been primarily a quiet race in Nevada, though it’s about to get more attention for multiple reasons. First, Latinos seemed poised to stay home, putting incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s re-election chances in danger. It’s a damning indictment of the Left’s race-based politics—the Latino community is eschewing voting for the first Latina candidate elected to the Senate. On the gubernatorial front, Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak failed to clinch the endorsement of the state’s most prominent teachers’ union. The Clark County union remains uncommitted, which even Vanity Fair noted was an “ominous sign” as we enter the final weeks of the 2022 election cycle. In the meantime, the GOP candidates have surged in the polls. It’s also a brutal reminder for Democrats here of losing their most valuable resource: the late Sen. Harry Reid.

Reid, who died from pancreatic cancer at 82 in December of 2021, faced a tough race in 2010. The magazine noted how the then-Senate Majority leader stacked sandbags to salvage his political career, creating a well-oiled machine to defend his seat from the incoming Tea Party wave. One of that machine's cornerstones was the local Clark County culinary union, which is heavily Latino. The machine also stressed entrenched labor union support, which, as you can see, has crumbled.

Seems like there is some hope here that masto and sissypants may be on their way out but........... Vegas unions. We had to deliver something in one of the more "upscale/chichi" Reno neighborhoods on Monday and of the yard signs we observed, in THAT 'hood', the masto sissypants signs were about 8 to 1 conservative sign. Then you have other hoods that are not exactly the "upscale/chichi" and the conservative signs far outnumber the prog signs. Rural areas are rife with conservative signs. Sadly, vegas has about 70+% of the overall vote in the state so............. Hang on and stand by. Early in person voting starts Saturday and goes through Nov 4th. We didn't receive our mail ins yet and don't intend to use them or turn them in when voting in person as requested. Also a change here is that one can vote in person at any precinct now.

Reed stole his last election. Even with Nevada RINOS supporting Harry, he still had to steel it.

Turnout.
If the rurals turn out in droves and LV only as usual, the rurals can still blunt LV.

That used to happen fairly often, but LV keeps growing despite Lake Mead still falling.

I share race and gender with most members of congress yet almost none of them represent my views on many issues, so why should I vote for someone who the only thing we have in common is our race and gender?

The world will get better when minorities realize that just because they look like you does not mean they have your best interest at heart. (Actually the same can be said for political parties).

Regarding signs: The time has long passed in Nevada (and probably many places elsewhere) when one can judge support for a candidate or party by the number of signs posted. I would fear for my property if I posted a sign supporting a Republican candidate. Unfortunately the thugs in the democrat party see signs supporting candidates on the right as targets for vandalism. Or worse. A family member was targeted by a bumper sticker he had on his car. It cost several thousand dollars out of pocket to repair the damage done by a hit and run driver. The police did nothing at all other than take the report and file it, even though we had the license plate number of the perp.

Yup. Sad to say. When we were still in FLA we had a GWB sign in the front yard. For about ten minutes. Some UPOS snagged it to show who was the boss. Don’t do them any longer.

I know they are, in every one of those states. That is why I have no confidence in our elections.

Red Eagle Politics said Clark County voters are swinging to the right. The Reid machine is dead and the citizens are not going with the DSA.

Must be Sisolak promotes education over indoctrination or some other horrifying concept. He better get crackin' - those underage drag shows don't put on themselves.

Sadly we know which way the unions will go even without the endorsement from the head cheeses.
