If you saved up reactions from the primary, let me hear them.
Does the family separation/detention issue stick until the general, and who does it help/hurt here?
Rank the chances of these happening in November: Dems get supermajorities in both houses; Ryan Bundy gets 5 percent of the vote; Dems win more than half of constitutional offices; Danny Tarkanian wins...

This week:
All about predictions and the two usual questions.
My insiders actually are split on the gov’s race. I actually understand it. Very difficult to read, could go either way despite Steve Sisolak’s financial, structural advantages. One way to look at it: He brought in marquee national talent and nuked Chris Giunchigliani, so he should win. Another way: If he doesn’t, what a waste of money and GOP confidence will grow.
And:
►Scathing: The estrogen-on-...

Smartest/dumbest movers of the week?
Most interesting thing you read/heard about Nevada politics this week?
What is the most impressive campaign you have seen this cycle? Least impressive?

Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
Most interesting thing you read or heard this week about Nevada politics?
Early voting starts two weeks from this weekend: Can Chris G. win? Can she win a general election?
Most likely primary upset in order: Horsford loses; Tark loses; Duncan loses; Roberson loses.
No unanimity on Chris G’s chances and few other upsets seem likely to these folks:

Most interesting thing about Nevada politics you read or saw this week?
Does Horsford getting the Culinary close out CD4? Or was it already?

Thoughts on the recall decision and predictions whether Roberson & Co. will give up or keep fighting?
Does NV Energy have any chance of defeating ECI (note the $12M buy)? Or is the hope to make it close to help with lobbying Leg in 2019?
