(50,986 posts)percentage as the gods & goddesses allow, and let's definitely defeat Joe Heck as well in that U.S. Senate race.
Heck is politically abominable. Also I don't like that white "Pence wave" in his hair. And did I mention that he is politically abominable?

(13,081 posts)Masto was a fantastic AG, the first to sue the banks after the financial crisis and the last to compromise. I just hope that the Clinton votes translate to Masto votes.
Have you seen Heck's ads? They are straight from the Karl Rove playbook: hit the opponent on their strengths. He's bashing her biggest successes.

(50,986 posts)She is so capable and he is such a scoundrel. I don't care for modern-day Republicans generally, but there are a handful that are just deeply repellent.

In the short-term, they would be helping to electing a truly qualified U.S. Senator and in the long-term, they would stand a pretty good chance of meeting each other and forming lasting bonds and friendships.
A lot of good things can come from supporting a good Senate candidate.
A lot of us will be watching this Nevada race very closely on election night.

Don't worry about the crowd being somewhat in Heck's favor at time, Trump supporters are just more loud and disrespectful.

Crossing all fingers for Catherine Cortez Masto in this one. Only wish I had a few more fingers to cross.
