To be fair
2012 was a good year for Dems, he wasn't an elected incumbent, and the previous senator was booted out because of a scandal.
Still a tough path to reelection, but not as bad as those numbers would make you think.
but nevada hasn't gotten any redder since then, unfortunately
Incumbency advantage, though.
yeah
Maybe
Nevada swung in Trump's direction
just not enough for a win
the demographics of Nevada will a problem in 2018
it's no longer majority-white
Dean Heller is a good senator.
Hopefully Nevada agrees.

He's running in NV-3 instead of US Senate now
Some people in the comments saying that Heller is a RINO.
Any reason?
The Obamacare vote
He was a liability
Is that all?
I believe so.
Hopefully Trump will have rallies in Nevada to get people to vote for Dean.
It's going to be an exceptionally close race.
First *his* popularity is going to need to rise
Lot of ways to do that, if he solves North Korea, it could bring his popularity up astronomically, it'd be like Nixon's detente with the Soviets.
It's higher than Obama's approval at the same time of the presidency.
Which is still not as high as it should be.
Jackie Rosen leading R Dean Heller 44-39, and that among voters who say health care is their top issue her lead grows to 61-21.
+5 Dem. If Dean can get some more of the Trump base out to vote, then that gap can be closed.
The issue is that Dean Heer has lost a lot of his clout with the obamacare vote
Trump needs to campaign a lot to get those votes back.
And give those two house seats to us.

OY VEY!!!
This Heller Goy has no Chance!!!
In Esmeralda County, None Of These Candidates won in the Democratic Gubernatorial Primary.
In the Democratic Senate primary there, the result was a tie.
I think there's a lack of enthusiasm for the Democrat candidates.
