It’s been awhile. I’ll start asking about smartest/dumbest moves and the most interesting thing my insiders read next week. But this week, I wanted to set the baseline for the 2020 campaign with these questions:
1. What issues are out there in Nevada that could affect the elections here -- from top to bottom? Any not-so-obvious ones?
2. Set the initial odds on:
Trump winning Nevada
Dems holding both houses of the Legislature

This will be the last one for awhile, and I want to thank these legislative insiders for taking the time every week. They are all very busy and have taken part of their weekend to help provide the kind of inside look you cannot find anywhere else.

So much in flux, so keeping it wide open this week: What are your general thoughts about where we are, the endgame, what are keys to closing? Who is impressing and who isn't? What is surprising you and what is not? Any thoughts welcome on the session -- same as others, different, whatever?

Most interesting thing you read or heard about Nevada politics this week?
How does the two-thirds play out -- rank from most to least likely: Budget passes without 2/3 and with MBT; Dems get one or more Repub to pass with MBT and two-thirds; budget passes without MBT.
What is the Dem strategy for the endgame? The GOP strategy? Do they exist? Odds of special?
My insiders don’t seem to buy the LCB opinion. Seems fitting...
