2. Most interesting thing you read or heard about Nevada politics this week?
3. Thoughts on RNC? If any....
4. How much is NV in play? Strikes me that minus the pandemic, it would be out of reach for Trump. But with Dem machine turned off, it's only slight lean to Biden. Am I right? And how does this all bode for down-ticket races here?
Some great stuff, as always, from these folks. Most everyone thinks...

2. Most interesting thing you read or heard about Nevada politics this week?
3. The second special: Be kind if you can, brutal if you need to be. Highs and lows? Winners and losers? Ultimate political fallout, if any. Vent away.
4. The Trump lawsuit, mail election, etc. Thoughts?
Not much to add to the insiders, who were both brutal and trenchant this week. I will believe the GOP IEs in the legislative...

3. The session: Vent, predict, analyze, praise, lambaste, whatever suits your fancy.
4. Can Jara survive? Should Jara survive?
I am going to write a column about this session, but when I do, as much as I have to say, I am not sure I can be as disgusted, cynical and brutal as the insiders were this week. There is a lot of truth...

2. Most interesting thing you read or heard about Nevada politics this week?
3. General thoughts so far on the session? What's your guess on length of this one and subject matter for second special? Will there be a third?

Anything else that interests you?

4. The budget disaster is coming into focus. How should they fix it? How will they fix it?
Some very good stuff from the insiders this week. I, too, noticed that the Republicans probably cost themselves any real chance in CD3 or CD4 with their nominees – I grant you there are many days...

4. Any election predictions?

3. How do you feel about Phase 2 beginning and casinos reopening: Relieved? Nervous? Is it time? What do you expect?
4. Rate the governor as we enter Phase 2. And even though it is a long time before he is up, what are the ticking time bombs: unemployment payments, budget cuts, something else? How does he come out ok? Can he?...
