No Experience, No Chance: The GOP’s Rookie Candidate Epidemic

(Chuck Muth) – A few days ago, I wrote about how badly Republicans blew opportunities to pick up more seats in the Nevada Legislature… “The donors who were directed to give to those campaigns did not get a very good return on investment. They should be furious.” To which somebody named Barry Lindemann responded… “To […]

Nevada Assembly GOP Caucus Implodes Over Leadership Drama

(Chuck Muth) – It took Republicans two years and millions of dollars to flip one seat in the Nevada State Assembly and get out of their 28-14 super-minority this election cycle. It took Assemblyman Greg Hafen less than two hours yesterday to possibly put them right back in it. I know I’m a broken record […]

Dodging the Super-Minority: How Lori, Kelly, and Rebecca Teamed Up to Defy the Odds

(Chuck Muth) – Here’s an “insider” look at some numbers related to the recently concluded legislative races you won’t find anywhere else. Republicans needed to flip one seat in the State Senate to stay out of super-minority status and flip one seat in the State Assembly to get out of the super-minority.  They got ‘em […]

Political Drama Alert: Hafen Anointment for Assembly Leadership Post Not a Done Deal

(Chuck Muth) – OK, here’s the latest on the upcoming Assembly Republican Caucus (ARC) leadership election on Friday… I spoke with Assemblywoman Jill Dickman last night. She advises that she’s been flooded with emails encouraging her to run for the Minority Leader position. She hasn’t made a final decision yet but shared some of the […]

No Guts, No Glory: How the Nevada Assembly Republican Caucus Stays Comfortable in Failure

(Chuck Muth) – I’m breaking camp here in Carson City this morning and driving back to the barn today.  And here are some quick notes, including a correction, addition, and clarification to yesterday’s Muth’s Truths PLUS… Correction: I conflated the district numbers for Kelly Chapman and Erica Neely.  The fundraising numbers and percentages were correct, […]

Opportunity Lost: How a Nevada Assembly Majority Slipped Through the GOP’s Fingers

(Chuck Muth) – Greetings from cold and snowy Lake Tahoe, where I’m attending a conference of conservative state leaders hosted by Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform. And interestingly enough, it’s being held at the same resort where the infamous Donald Trump/Stormy Daniels brouhaha took place!  Only in Nevada. OK, before getting into the […]

Mount Up: Preparing for Election 2026!

(Chuck Muth) – I don’t know about you, but I am p*ssed at the election results in Nevada…again.  Republicans lost a bunch of state and local races they should have won.  We need to go in a dramatically different direction. And I’m already hitting the ground running. I’ve had a new campaign training and support […]

Nevada Republicans Blow Yet Another Opportunity

(Chuck Muth) – Acknowledging that ballots will still be arriving and counted until the end of today, it’s not too soon to acknowledge that Nevada Republicans – with few exceptions, especially Trump – got taken to the cleaners once again. The GOP again lost the U.S. Senate seat and all three Democrat-held congressional seats. In […]

Men Save America!

(Chuck Muth) – Oh, happy day! Here’s the thing about traditional men… We’re raised not to sweat the small stuff.  Our job is to protect and provide for our families.  We usually don’t get too worked up unless or until there’s a threat or emergency.  At which point, as John Wayne so famously put it… […]

GAME DAY!

(Chuck Muth) – I still have ONE more vote to get out today… My son, CJ, who turned 18 in September and resisted registering.  We’ll be doing same-day registration this afternoon and bank one more vote for Trump! Gut feeling: Trump carries Nevada by a significant margin; maybe even enough to pull Sam Brown over […]

STOP Reading the Polls and Turnout Numbers!

(Chuck Muth) – OK, first, this is absolutely hilarious: Kamala’s husband, Doug Emhoff, actually said on video the following yesterday… “Kamala did what Kamala always does. She put her head down and went to work.” Willie Brown approves this message! Can you just imagine the “pillow talk” Kammy and Dougie had last night?  I sure […]

2024 Election Predictions?

(Chuck Muth) – Folks, all I have are gut feelings here.  I’m not reading the polls or early voting results.  Just gauging what I’m seeing, hearing, and feeling.  Some thoughts… Trump wins Nevada. Maybe by enough to pull Sam Brown over – but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it. His campaign has been awful. […]

RIP: Peanut the Squirrel & Fred the Raccoon

(Chuck Muth) – A baby squirrel was raised in New York by Mark Longo and his wife after “Peanut’s” mother got hit by a car.  He became an Internet sensation and helped Mark raise money for animal sanctuaries. If you haven’t seen the heart-warming video of Peanut and Mark together at their home, click here. […]
