“Our booking team, and they’re good, reached out to Republicans of all stripes across the country today. Let’s be honest. Republicans often don’t really mind coming on Fox News Channel. We couldn’t get anyone to come and defend him here because we thought, in balance, someone should do that. We worked very hard at it throughout the day, and we were unsuccessful.” One Republican that apparently hadn’t been reached out to, is Danny Tarkanian, running for U.S. Senate against Dean Heller in Nevada. He accepted Shepard Smith’s challenge today on social media. He tweeted: Hey @ShepNewsTeam bookers didn’t contact me...

@realDonaldTrump Congratulations to Danny Tarkanian on his big GOP primary win in Nevada. Danny worked hard an got a great result. Looking good in November! 1:17 PM - 13 Jun 2018 ______ Senator Claire McCaskill of the GREAT State of Missouri flew around in a luxurious private jet during her RV tour of the state. RV’s are not for her. People are really upset, so phony! Josh Hawley should win big, and has my full endorsement. 1:11 PM - 13 Jun 2018 ______ So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. They are fighting hard to downplay...

Republican Danny Tarkanian has reportedly agreed to drop his primary against Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) and instead run for the House after getting a public shove from President Trump on Fridayto do so, boosting Heller’s chances of reelection in the Democratic-leaning state. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that Tarkanian has decided on another House run (he’s lost two previous bids for the House and six different campaigns in the state) almost immediately after Trump tweeted that he should do so and leave Heller alone.

Danny Tarkanian, the anti-establishment conservative challenging anti-Trump establishment Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) in Nevada’s primary, has solidified his lead over Heller in a new poll from JMC Analytics released on Friday morning.

This attack ad was made by the same group who released the controversial attack ad early this week on Fox News Channel, ABC and ESPN that questioned Obama's missing records. The newly formed group is called the 'Conservative Majority Fund' backed by big money out of Arlington,VA. Their recent ad this week caused a uproar with liberals and the media. There are a lot of doubters who disregard the fact that it is no big deal for a American president to be a Muslim, especially in a time of war against people who are Islamic extremist. It's so dangerous that...

In 1990, the prolife movement was on the ropes. After the U. S. Supreme Court in Webster v. Reproductive Services (1989) seemed to indicate it was on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade (1973), the abortion choice movement kicked into high gear. (Of course, Roe did not get overturned, but was reaffirmed on different grounds in Casey v. Planned Parenthood [1992]). The prolife movement was not prepared for its opponents' aggressive political and media campaigns that employed the specter of Roe's possible demise as a wedge issue in a number of elections throughout the United States. One of these...

His favorable rating stands at a sparkling 35/58 and previous polls have found he’s all but finished if forced to run head to head against Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian. But toss a little third-party tea on the gears and magical things start to happen, my friends. Which, of course, is precisely why Palin’s been nudging tea partiers lately to pick a side. As Groundskeeper Willie would say: I warned ye. Didn’t I warn ye?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is prepared to run a sharply negative campaign if that’s what it takes to win reelection next year, with a top adviser predicting that the Nevada Democrat will “vaporize” his Republican challengers with attack ads. Trailing in the polls and under constant attack from the GOP, Reid’s campaign has just launched a warm-and-fuzzy million-dollar ad campaign to reintroduce the veteran senator to his constituents. But Reid’s team also wants to be the one that introduces lesser-known opponents to the electorate — and will be ready, when the time comes, to unleash a torrent of ads...

The Tusk has mentioned his prospects in this race before, but now it looks like it's all over for Senate Democrat Leader, Harry Reid of Nevada. Polls are consistently showing him lagging behind his two potential competitors, Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian. But the surest factor indicating his assured retirement is this: Though respondents can't decide whom they want to win the Republican primary, they're certain they don't support Reid, the Senate majority leader seeking his fifth consecutive six-year term. In one general election scenario, 49 percent of respondents picked Lowden and 39 percent chose Reid. In another, 48 percent...

Politics: The senator who called the president a liar and never apologized may have worn out his welcome in his home state. Harry Reid may be riding the liberal agenda into political oblivion.In 2004, Republicans defeated Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle largely on the theme that he neglected his home state in favor of national party interests. The GOP is hoping that in 2010 lightning will strike a second time, and Nevada polls indicate it may be more than wishful thinking. In 1998, Reid beat John Ensign by a hair-thin 428 votes. Ensign would go on to win Nevada's other...

Can any Nevada FReepers shed any light on Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian? Tarkanian seems to be stronger in the polls (both lead Reid in head-to-heads), but he doesn't have a very good track record in elections. I would assume Lowden has more political connections, fundraising connections, and has held elective office in Nevada before. Who is the more conservative candidate between Tarkanian and Lowden? Thanks.

I should preface this by saying all Republican candidates with name recognition beat Reid. There are others in the race. The only big name candidate to officially announce is Danny Tarkanian. The Sue Lowden thing is still up in the air, and seems to be more of a push by insiders to get their person in the race. I’m not sure why the Republican establishment seems to be challenging Danny Tarkanian. Especially since he has polled higher than Reid and Lowden in all of the polls, and has really hit the ground running.

Former UNLV basketball player and secretary of state candidate Danny Tarkanian will run for U.S. Senate against Harry Reid, D-Nev. Tarkanian, a Republican, posted a Web site soliciting contributions and for the position and a short biography today. A Tarkanian campaign consultant from California declined to comment and said an announcement is forthcoming.

Finally, the Republican Party has a name candidate against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Danny Tarkanian has officially announced he will run against Reid for US Senate.
