(Chuck Muth)<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Suffering from a severe case of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), two left-wing groups in Nevada \u2013 Mi Familia Vota and Free Speech for People – have sent a letter to Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar calling on him to ban Trump\u2019s name from appearing on the ballot next year.
\u00a0
Why?\u00a0 For \u201cinciting and facilitating the violent January 6 attack on the Capitol.\u201d
\u00a0
These goofballs forgot one thing: Trump\u2019s never been convicted of any such thing. Apparently these publik skool grads missed the part about people in the U.S. being innocent until proven guilty.
\u00a0
Or this is nothing but political theater.\u00a0 Or both.
\u00a0
In other Ron v. Don news, Trump attacked DeSantis yesterday for opposing the federal mandate on corn-based ethanol during a speech in Iowa, one of the First Four primary states.
\u00a0
\u201cIowa also needs to know that Ron DeSanctus totally despises Iowa ethanol and ethanol generally,\u201d Trump said, intentionally mispronouncing his name, as is his wont.
\u00a0
You know who else despises the federal mandate as government overreach?\u00a0 Fiscal conservative Republicans.\u00a0 But when you\u2019re pandering for votes in Iowa\u2026
\u00a0
Meanwhile, Megan Barth of the Nevada Globe reports on a new poll conducted in Nevada by Public Opinion Strategies \u2013 a legitimate pollster – showing that\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cMore than half (54%) of the 500 respondents disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as President and a significant majority (62%) believe that the economy has gotten worse under President Biden.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
The other 38% are probably Hunter Biden associates or clients.
\u00a0
The sampling included 34% Republican, 37% Democrat, 24% independent, and 5% other parties.\u00a0 38% consider themselves moderate, 32% conservative, and 26% liberal.\u00a0 47% said they voted for Trump in 2020, 51% said they voted for Biden.
\u00a0
Yes, Nevada, we are a \u201cpurple\u201d state.
\u00a0
More bad news for Biden: 78% of respondents rated the current economy as \u201cFair\u201d (33%) or \u201cPoor\u201d (45%), with 62% saying it\u2019s \u201cgetting worse.\u201d
\u00a0
However, the poll also shows that Biden \u201cmaintains a three-point lead over former President Donald Trump but loses by a slim one percent to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.\u201d
\u00a0
Worse for Biden, the poll shows him up by only 5% in Clark County \u2013 where more than 2\/3 of Nevada voters live and Biden won by 9% in 2020 \u2013 over DeSantis but has an 11-point advantage over Trump.
\u00a0
Worse for Biden and Trump: \u201c49 percent indicate that they would \u2018never\u2019 vote for President Biden and 53 percent of respondents would never vote for Trump.\u201d
\u00a0
In an interview with Barth, DeSantis said\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cFlorida was every bit of a swing state as Nevada is.\u00a0 I think Nevada is definitely doable for us. I think people here are sick of Biden. I think they know that he has not done a good job.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
On the other hand, Jason Miller, a senior Trump advisor, responded by obliquely referring to the pollster as a \u201cpiece of $#%&\u201d and added\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThey intentionally undersample conservatives and working class voters in order to make Nevada look more palatable for Ron DeSanctimonious, but all other polling shows President Trump leading by a big margin.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
I think Miller\u2019s referring to Trump\u2019s current lead over DeSantis in the primary.\u00a0 I\u2019m not aware of any polls showing Trump leading Biden in Nevada \u201cby a big margin.\u201d
\u00a0
Trump still wields considerable support among GOP primary voters here.\u00a0 But it\u2019s also true many prior Trump voters are going \u201csoft\u201d \u2013 at least privately \u2013 over concerns that he\u2019d lose to Biden again in the general election.
\u00a0
And while it\u2019s true the political railroading and persecution of Trump by the Attorney General, rogue DA\u2019s, and the media has rallied support for the former president, it\u2019s also true that many supporters are starting to suffer from \u201cTrump fatigue.\u201d
\u00a0
Just too much drama.\u00a0
\u00a0
Which is probably why Trump is making a last-minute stop in Las Vegas tonight.
\u00a0
Which is also probably a big factor in why the Nevada Republican Party is suing to change next February\u2019s scheduled presidential primary to a caucus.\u00a0
\u00a0
In a primary, all registered Republican voters get to vote \u2013 including early voting and mail-in balloting. But in a caucus, you have to physically show up at a centralized location at a specific time on caucus day and sit through a bunch of campaign speeches by the candidate\u2019s surrogates.
\u00a0
It\u2019s mostly die-hard Republicans who subject themselves to such an inconvenience \u2013 which most consider to be an advantage for Trump. But you know the old saying\u2026
\u00a0
Be careful what you wish for.
\u00a0
FAMOUS LAST WORDS<\/strong>

\u201cEvery 19\u201322-year-old should pay for their own tuition by working 20 hours a week while in college \u2013 as kids do at the College of the Ozarks where tuition is free. If kids are working to earn their college education, they will value it more and they will demand value.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Stephen Moore, Committee to Unleash Prosperity<\/em><\/strong>
