Heller slams Dems for ‘political games and smears’ on Kavanaugh
The Hill ^ | October 6, 2018

Posted on 10/08/2018 6:22:08 PM PDT by SMGFan

Sen. Dean Heller (Nev.), one of the most vulnerable Republicans running for reelection this fall, celebrated Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court on Saturday while blasting Democrats for the bitter nomination process.

"Justice Kavanaugh. Confirmed!" Heller tweeted shortly after he joined nearly every GOP senator in voting to install Kavanaugh on the high court.

Heller slammed Democrats’ handling of Kavanaugh’s confirmation, suggesting it would only excite the GOP base heading into the November midterms.

“Democrats think political games and smears will win them votes, but it only fuels our momentum,” he asserted.

Probably.
And also probably because Heller voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill.
If he sided with the citizens and the rule of law, he probably wouldn’t be in trouble.

This has been like watching a entire male PE class in Jr. High.

The testicles seem to be dropping.

Yeah, it’s like Trump has enough cojones to be a donor to every elected Republican. It’s freaky, but fantastic. And no, I’m (insert bad Hillary in front of a black crowd voice) in no way tarrred of winning.

——-
He didn’t receive 50% last time, but many are forgetting these senators won election in the Presidential year of 2018. A bunch like Heidkamf,McCaskil
Etc used Obama’s coattails. Turnout will be huge and Harry Reid has an incredible early voting machine in Nevada.

Correction. These senators of either party won with or without 2012 coattails of Obama was my point.

Rosen up by 4 before confirmation. Heller’s going for broke. Good.

Check out a pic of Jacky Rosen sometime. Feinstein 40 years ago with a Hillary Clinton brain. Her new commercials are touting how she “crosses the aisle” for the good of all. Right.

Heller is vulnerable as he is running a blue state Trump did not carry and Obama easily carried twice. That bill isn’t even a topic in that election. Although yes, the bill was terrible.

Although it would be nice if your logic did hold - we would have 75 senate seats if all of the Democrats lost this year who also supported that bill - would gladly sacrifice Heller in exchange for gaining all of those other seats. However, in this case, that isn’t going to happen so we need to hold as many seats as possible and pick up at least a few - otherwise you-know-who is about to replace Hatch and the smaller the majority the more clout he will personally have in the Senate. There was discussion of the need for a net gain of 2 to counter Collins and Murkowski - but we really need 3 to also counter Romney.

I think we stand a decent chance of picking up MO, IN, ND, MT.

Heller is part of the failing Mormon Troika ( Hatch, Utah, Flake, AZ and Heller, NV)

Most people don’t understand that the Mormons are not only “big” in Utah, but also AZ, NV and Idaho. Las Vegas now pretty much controls Nevada since Clark County (LV) with its 2.5 million residents really “trumps” the rest of the state which totals less than 1.5 million residents. Also Las Vegas, was originally founded as a Mormon Settlement.
