LETTER: Nevada GOP shoots itself in the foot

Why does the Republican Party always seem to shoot itself in the foot?

Although I firmly believe that every political party should be free to nominate its own candidates, the Nevada GOP does not instill confidence, as shown by its approach to a presidential primary versus a caucus. The Republican Party requires that its presidential candidates choose one or the other, but cannot participate in both.

Imagine a headline on Feb. 7: “Haley Wins Nevada Primary — Former S.C. Governor Garners 70% of the Vote.”

Then imagine a headline on Feb. 9: “Nevada GOP Picks Trump.”

Why would the large bloc of nonpartisan voters think the GOP believes in democracy?

Then, if Mr. Trump gets the Republican nomination, we may be faced with the almost inevitable 2020 rematch — i.e., which is the lesser of two evils? OMG!

Mr. Trump has often been blamed for the fizzled Red Wave in the 2022 midterms. Even if he wins in 2024, can the Republicans win either the House or Senate on his coattails?

If he wins in 2024, and his various criminal trials have not yet taken place, do we really think we won’t have to go through yet another impeachment process within those next four years? Will there be any possibility of a return to civility in government?

I would urge GOP caucus-goers to nominate and write in the name of the primary winner, who is guaranteed to be an intelligent, articulate, likeable conservative leader who will be able to actually govern.

Stubbornness is shortsighted and may have negative impacts all down the ballot.

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The lavish log cabin-like residence, in Incline Village, listed on Jan. 24 for $47.5 million. It sold 20 days later, on Feb. 13, listing records show.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.

The seller and the buyer are both limited liability companies, according to property records. Both parties were represented by Jeff Brown of Tahoe Mountain Realty, who declined to comment on the deal.

The median home price in Incline Village was $1.595 million as of December, a fall of 3.3% from a year earlier, according to data from Realtor.com. Listings, meanwhile, spent an average of 130 days on the market.
