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.

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.

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.

Power Shift Alert: This Week’s Leadership Battle in the Assembly Republican Caucus is Critical
(Chuck Muth) – When Newt Gingrich was first elected to Congress, no one believed it was possible to get out of the “permanent” minority Republicans had been in for decades.

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.

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.

Y’All Know There’s Another Election on Wednesday – a Critical One – Right?
(Chuck Muth) – After Donald Trump won in 2016, Democrats immediately came after him with a vengeance.

Is it gonna be déjà vu […]
No, a Suspicious “Ballot Drop” Didn’t Steal the Election from Sam Brown – or Anyone Else
(Chuck Muth) – Those of you reading Muth’s Truths know about the work our organization is doing on cleaning up the voter rolls.

Nevada Republicans Blow Yet Another Opportunity

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.

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.

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.
