Nevada’s Senate race could not get much bigger. It is the only real chance Republicans have to flip a Democratic seat. The outcome could seal control of the Senate.
For those who have followed the intrigue of recent campaign cycles, it is riveting for another reason. The battle to choose a successor to Senator Harry Reid, the retiring Democratic leader, is pitting Mr. Reid and his home-state political operation against his archenemies, Charles G. and David H. Koch, the billionaire industrialist brothers whom Mr. Reid has spent the past few years denouncing as the avatars of dark-money politics.
This is an epic proxy war, with Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat and a former Nevada attorney general, and Representative Joe Heck, a Republican, serving as surrogates in a clash to see who gets the last word in this brutal rivalry.
Both sides, as they say around the Texas Hold ’Em tables here in America’s gambling capital, are all in.

there are adds against Masto on TV all the time in Vegas. Have been going on for weeks now

Y’all are lucky. In California, we have the choice between a liberal race-baiting feminist ultra-prog, and a liberal race-baiting feminist ultra-prog.
I’m in Tennessee. We already have two left-wing RINO squishes for Senators despite our being a Conservative state. California is just sad: a Communist and a Stalinist. Nothing but a Communist Party runoff and the voters have no say in the matter. Someone needs to sue to stop that.
“This would be the ultimate rebuke to Harry Reid.”
I can think of a better one....life w/o parole.
RE “Ultimate Rebuke”
I can think of a better one... it involves a gallows.
I never saw that movie.
