“If we do not finish this red wave off in 2022, we’re just going to be California,” Laxalt warned, to which the crowd responded with emphatic “boos.”
Former Nevada Attorney General Laxalt questioned the leadership of vulnerable incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and her “almost 100 percent” President Joe Biden-aligned voting record.
“She could have stood up when gas prices reached $6 in Nevada — and climbing,” he said, noting that his competitor will do “whatever it takes to win,” including packag[ing] herself as a centrist.”
Senator Cortez Masto had an opportunity to say no to Biden's war on American energy production.
She could have stood up to Biden's open border policies that are fueling human trafficking and opioid overdoses.
Instead, Cortez Masto was Biden's rubber stamp in the Senate. #NVsen pic.twitter.com/dyzfEA1BfE

“People are fed up,” he said, touting seven consecutive polls showing him ahead of Cortez Masto. “We’re doing this to save Nevada and save our great country…People are ready to save our state.”
Clark County Sheriff Lombardo asked the audience: “Is your life any better four years later?” [under Gov. Steve Sisolak’s (D) leadership].
“That’s the only question you have to ask,” he continued.
Lombardo emphasized that the government is not “supposed to work for itself” but for the American people.
“[Sisolak is] handing out taxpayer money to get him to November 8,” he said.

Laxalt and Lombardo poll well in Nevada and I would say the Democrats can’t win with six dollar a gallon gasoline prices prevailing there.

A GOP congress, without the presidency, is going to be able to do very little to affect inflation - then what will the GOP in congress do about their campaigning on eveyone’s unhappiness with inflation????
“campaigning on eveyone’s unhappiness with inflation????”
Maybe you should think about the alternative before trolling with your cynicism. If the rats win the country is finished. 2 new rat states, HR-1, packed SC for openers.
This was an event practically in my back yard.
I stayed away, because if I asked Lombardo the questions I would like it would have exposed him as the Anti-RKBA punk he is.
I am certain he will make ZERO effort to repeal ANY of the anti-RKBA crap Sissy-Lick and his socialist cabal rammed through at the last session.
I am equally certain that if elected he will not lift a finger to prevent additional infringement of our 2A rights.
In fact I expect him to push for additional restrictions.
Not voting for him!
I have my ballot at hand, so can confirm that “None of these candidates” IS an option for this race.
“Maybe you should think about the alternative before trolling with your cynicism. If the rats win the country is finished. 2 new rat states”
It’s not cynicism, it’s reality. The GOP is campaiging a lot on how awful infltion is. While yes inflation is awful and yes Biden has made existing inlflation worse, but the GOP in Congress will not be able to undo present inflation’s causes, which includes decades of the Federal Reserve easy money policies. So, my point is when they cannot stop inflation, what will be the political response of those who vote them into office believing they can halt inflation.
They - the GOP - need to campaign most on other issues more than inflation- that is realism, not cynicism.
up to $6.99 in Reno, a Chevron just off I-80.
Yes, he is opposed to the 2nd amendment, is pro-abortion, and so forth. He simply a non-Sisolack Democrat. I guess we vote for him because he has an R next to his name. Sad we’ve come to that idiot simplicity.
MSM will try but when inflation stays high it will be blamed on who sits in the White House.
I’m going with “None of these candidates”.
I have seen races where “None of” actually won.
That will not happen here, but I will not be effectively voting for Sissy as some want to claim.
Until we stop “Holding our noses” and voting for RINO’s when there IS an alternative the RINO’s will continue snickering and wasting our votes.
A “None of” vote over 10% might send a message?
Yes, I wonder what we gain by supporting these fake Republicans? Consider former governor Sandoval, now pushing all kinds of woke BS, bias, bigotry, covid hysteria, and climate fraud as head of UNR. Lombardo is pro-abortion, anti-2nd amendment, and so forth. He’s a Republican in name only.
“MSM will try but when inflation stays high it will be blamed on who sits in the White House.”
Ans if inflation comes down the MSM will credit the WH even though if that happens it wil be due to Federal Reserve actions and not the WH nor congress.
I wonder if the silver lining might be that NLV gets a better Sheriff?
Still sucks for the rest of us.
RE. Sandoval.
I remember when he did not have to lean on his “Race Card” to be competitive.
Now it’s his main card, with it he no longer has to pretend to conservatism.
Some days I am very happy to be 67 and not 27, I do not see the USA significantly recovering without some very dark days I would not be likely to survive.
“And if inflation comes down the MSM will credit the WH“
Yes and it’s always true. I see little chance of a big drop in inflation. As long as the our energy producers are treated as enemies the economy is screwed.
“As long as the our energy producers are treated as enemies the economy is screwed.”
Energy is one factor in inflation, but a lot of the excercise of that factor depends on economic-speninding demand, and in that respect the Federal Reserve ( and other centrail banks in Euope and Asia) have been the largest generators of inflation, with criminally low intetest rates.
Coming out of California it probably seems cheap.
