It's not as if Heller was going to hold this seat anyway, he's an extremely overrated candidate. Lean D, I guess (still think Heller wins the primary, though).

Yeah seriously. He only barely beat Shelley Berkley of all people, because he was lucky enough that tons of Obama voters voted NOTA due to her corruption issues. And as others have said, he managed to pull a Blanche Lincoln and alienate left, right, and center during the healthcare debate. On top of that, CCM Purple heart beat Heck (who was a much better candidate than Heller could ever be) despite it not being a great year for Dems overall.

Yeah, seriously. She only beat Danny Tarkanian of all people, because she was lucky enough that tons of Trump voters voted Markowitz due to his weak campaigning. And as others have said, she managed to pull a Blanche Lincoln and alienate left, right, and center in her ideological contradiction.  On top of that, Heller beat Berkeley (who was a much better candidate than Rosen could ever be) despite it not being a great year for Republicans overall.

In all seriousness, the whole idea that a candidate is doomed due to a weak candidate idea can be applied to both Heller and Rosen.

With that being said though, if Tarkanian wins the primary, NV is doomed for the GOP.

Your post doesn't really work considering a) Rosen's district is more Republican than Nevada overall and b) No serious person thinks Berkley is a better candidate than Rosen.
