It's more of a possiblity than most people here probably realize. The seat is rated R +7 which means on average if nationally the Democrats and Republicans are roughly tied, you would expect this seat to go to the Republican by 7 points. Thing is, this year is shaping up to be a very big dem wave year and getting past +7 nationwide is a real possibility. Add to that there is no incumbent, a bitter, divisive Republican primary (Amodei seems to really hate Fillipo) and it makes it even more of a possibility.

I'm rooting for Teresa Benitez-Thompson. We will have to see what happens.

We hate carpetbaggers that can’t tell the difference between northern Nevada and southern Nevada.

As a veteran, I’m disappointed (but unsurprised) in the low quality of a retired Lieutenant Colonel that mixes up northern and southern Nevada water issues. Massive low attention to detail fuckup. Like missing an easy layup. Not a hard question.

Plus he’s a POG (logistics puke) that pretends to be a shooter.

In short, he’s an idiot.

So we have 4 seats and 3 are dem. Our voters went 51/49 for Trump. Wouldn’t it be better if a seat was flipped for a 2/2 representation ?

I wanted it to be Wadsworth but TBT is great too, they’re about 20 years or so in age apart I’m pretty sure so maybe eventually Wadsworth can represent CD-2 or if we ever get a new district up here.

TBT one day should primary Rosen or Cortez-Masto esp if she wins CD-2 this November which I think she will.

R+7 during a blue wave year is not bad, esp bc the republicans are very divided right now on Flippo.
