I don’t know much about Sandoval. But, I know he’s Hispanic. And in a world in which identity politics is so important, it’s hard to imagine that the GOP will have a 2016 presidential/VP ticket with two white men.
I expect him to be on the short list of VP candidates for the GOP in ‘16. Ditto Susana Martinez of New Mexico, for the same reason, to blunt the liberals talk of no diversity in the GOP.
I think I remember some shenanigans on Indian reservations during Dingy Harry’s last campaign. Has Sandoval addressed the ballot fraud bias of democrat party election strategy?
Somebody had better topple that SOB.
Given that the Basque is a region in Spain, wouldn't a staunch conservative like former Senator Lazalt count as Hispanic?
Sandoval is the GOPe in NV and has been fighting conservatives who control the party organization in the the state.
He’s one of the 95 percent who has the right kind of surname for the new population mix of Nevada, but he’s no Ted Cruz authentic conservative outsider..
I’m a registered Republican in Nevada and a Sandoval voter in the last election. My take on the governor is he is a go along to get along type of guy. He is pro immigration reform and pro
obummercare (see our failed website as proof). Yes he would be a major upgrade from hairy, but a rino in the making.
Just my 2 cents.
I believe Sandoval was at the Tea Party get together in Searchlight a couple of years ago. If so that is a feather in his cap.
I met Brian Sandoval at a dinner party 2 years ago. It was a small political gathering with about 20 people total present, which gave me some time to chat with him one-on-one.
He addressed the larger gathering by stating that his goal was to make Nevada the number one business-friendly state and went over the steps he’s taking to achieve this. Nevada currently ranks around 4th to 6th place in the various business-friendly state poll rankings.
I told him after our conversation that I expected him to be on a presidential ticket sometime. He merely laughed that off. I made that prediction not because he’s of Hispanic background (note: he’s as American as any of us) but because he is impressive as an individual. His pro-growth, free enterprise agenda and basic optimism will resonate a majority of the electorate. He “gets it”, unlike any life form styling itself as a Democrat and at least half of the Republicans.
The Republicans can do much, much worse, and usually do.
My sources tell me Sandoval won’t run. We will see.
I wouldn’t trade a governor for a Senator, even to get rid of a senator like Harry Reid.
Reid corruptly conspired to send a Federal army to invade Nevada nearly getting people killed just so his son could make money on a land deal.
Hairy Reid Corruption and Greed have already materialized themselves into a direct threat to literally the Lives and livelihood of Nevadian. The man needs to go, but not at the cost of a Governor who helped save those lives.
i cannot make sense of the above... will someone please explain what he is saying here?
