1. Both have low scores with the American public concerning trust and honesty when it comes to many polls.

After setting up an impressive team of Nevada veterans, including some noteworthy Hispanic operatives, Hillary Clinton arrived in May to lay down a marker on immigration reform.

When Hillary Clinton's campaign came to Nevada in the spring of 2015, when it hired a well-connected Latina to helm her campaign here and when the candidate arrived to get to the left of the president on immigration reform, the message was clear: I own the Latino vote.

A Carson City man pled guilty Thursday in federal district court to aggravated identity theft arising from false statements he made in an application for a U.S. passport.

Adam Laxalt is using his office to jump on one anti-federal bandwagon after another, from immigration policy to health care implementation and now to enforcement of clean water rules. In every case, the new AG throws around the term "unconstitutional," as if he is personally endowed with the power to decide which policies of the federal government do and don't comply with the constitution of the United States. He is not.

Here are the facts behind Laxalt's latest ideological crusade:

With 15 major Republicans already declared – the best presidential field since Ronald Reagan ran for re-election – GOP voters should be able to tap a very strong candidate to lead their party next year. Which one would best unify and represent them?

Good cases certainly can be made for (in alphabetic order) Dr. Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Rick Perry and Marco Rubio. But we think Scott Walker offers the best package of strong executive experience, personal qualifications and reliable, across-the-board limited-government reform politics.

A 48-year-old man was arrested Friday on felony charges of possession of a controlled substance for sale and drug trafficking after he was found concealing drugs in his underwear, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” Those were Donald Trump’s words about Mexican immigrants in announcing he’s running for President.

We take strong exception to all that. And, having labored long in the political fields with other dedicated limited-government conservatives and Republicans, we know those are not the views of most of our folks.
America has not always welcomed legal immigrants with open arms, but we should -- now more than ever. Overall, they are a blessing to us just as America is a blessing to them.

The shameless behavior of the "Republicans" in the recently concluded 78th session of the Nevada Legislature -- their vote for the biggest tax and budget hike in the State's history being first and foremost among their record of mis- and nonfeasance -- and the angry reaction to it by the State Party and the loyal Republican rank-and-file, raise an important question.

What is a Republican? What does it mean to be a Republican? If the RINOs and conservatives are both "Republicans," then the term badly needs to be defined.
