Assembly Caucus Circus is Back in Town<\/strong><\/p>\n Because of their stupidity in supporting the largest tax hike in Nevada history last year, and general campaign incompetence this year, Republicans in the State Assembly now number only 15 \u2013 having lost TEN<\/u> seats on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Of the 15, there appear to be 7 establishment insiders and 8 conservative outsiders. With that majority, both RINO Speaker John Hambrick<\/strong> and RINO Majority Leader Paul Anderson<\/strong> could\/should be ousted from their \u201cleadership\u201d positions. However\u2026<\/p>\n Sadly, but not surprisingly, I\u2019m told that one of the conservatives, Assemblyman Jim Wheeler<\/strong>, has already sold out for his 30 pieces of silver.<\/p>\n The caucus members are scheduled to meet in Las Vegas tonight to organize for next year\u2019s session and here\u2019s how things are looking\u2026<\/p>\n Hapless Hambrick is going to be ousted from his leadership perch \u2013 just as Pat \u201cThe Appeaser\u201d Hickey<\/strong> was dumped two years ago – which is a great thing. A well-deserved payback for selling out the conservatives in his caucus to get his Speaker position last session.<\/p>\n What goes around, comes around. AMF.<\/p>\n But Anderson, with Wheeler-Dealer\u2019s double-crossing support, appears likely become the Minority Leader with Wheeler-Dealer as his #2 \u2013 an apt designation since the guy is full of crap. And James \u201cThe Big Selloutski\u201d Oscarson<\/strong> will become the Whip.<\/p>\n The reason appears to be sour grapes over the fact that Wheeler-Dealer can\u2019t get the 8 conservative votes he needs to become Minority Leader himself thanks to how he sold out conservatives on various votes during the 2015 legislative session \u2013 including his betrayal on the campus carry bill.<\/p>\n Petty. Egotistical.<\/p>\n The other guy who wants to be king is Assemblyman Ira Hansen<\/strong>. But he, too, can\u2019t get to 8 because of how he screwed conservative Assemblywoman Jill Dickman<\/strong> in the closing two weeks of the campaign simply because she didn\u2019t vote how he wanted her to vote during the special session last month.<\/p>\n Dickman, who would have been a solid vote for conservative leadership, ended up losing by a mere 38 votes.<\/p>\n Gee, thanks Ira.<\/p>\n Also, nobody trusts Ira any longer after he was elected Leader after the 2014 elections\u2026and promptly quit when the heat got too hot in the kitchen. That enabled Hambrick and Anderson to wrest control of the caucus and usher in the largest tax hike in Nevada history.<\/p>\n Gee, thanks Ira.<\/p>\n In 2014, there were 13 conservatives and 12 establishment moderates. Then Hambrick sold out and voted with the moderates. This time there are 8 conservatives and 7 moderates.<\/p>\n But if Wheeler-Dealer, as expected, sells out and casts his vote to make Anderson Minority Leader, the guy who engineered the loss of TEN<\/u> Republican Assembly seats last week will be in charge of the Republican Assembly Caucus next year.<\/p>\n Thanks, Jimbo.<\/p>\n By the way, the guy who was supposed to become the Leader in 2015 after Ira quit was Assemblyman John Ellison<\/strong>, a conservative small businessman from Elko. But then Hambrick sold out and switched sides.<\/p>\n What Wheeler-Dealer SHOULD<\/u> do is support Ellison over Anderson instead of \u201cpulling a Hambrick.\u201d Shamefully, it doesn\u2019t look like he has the character to do what\u2019s in the conservative movement\u2019s best interest and will instead serve his own self-interest.<\/p>\n Nevada conservatives should avoid the Christmas rush and start recruiting a GOP primary challenger against Wheeler-Dealer NOW<\/u>.<\/p>\n Cheers.<\/p>\n Dr. Chuck Muth, PsD<\/strong><\/p>\n Professor of Psephology (homeschooled)<\/em><\/p>\n Nevada\u2019s #1 Irritator of Liberals and RINOs<\/p>\n P.S. Here\u2019s an interesting possibility\u2026<\/p>\n Dennis Hof<\/strong>, the legal brothel owner and HBO reality TV star, originally was thinking of running for the State Assembly in Wheeler-Dealer\u2019s district.<\/p>\n But Wheeler-Dealer begged Hof to move and run against Oscarson instead.<\/p>\n Hof ran as a Libertarian and chalked up 40% of the vote last Tuesday \u2013 more than 10 times<\/u> the number of votes Libertarian candidates usually get. He\u2019s clearly a VERY<\/u> strong candidate.<\/p>\n Oh, and in that race, after Hof agreed not to run against Wheeler-Dealer, Wheeler-Dealer stabbed Hof in the back and endorsed Oscarson. What a weasel.<\/p>\n So I wonder if Hof might consider switching parties, moving back into Wheeler-Dealer\u2019s district, and run against Wheeler-Dealer in the GOP primary in 2018?<\/p>\n Hmmmm\u2026interesting.<\/p>\n FAMOUS LAST WORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDespite what the media say and write about Obama and his so-called legacy, the majority of the people in the country know his presidency has been an abject failure.
