for meetings with Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, Nevada Republicans are

behind Trump and planning to push his divisive, dangerous agenda in
Congress. Trump’s primary victory is no hostile takeover of the Republican
Party – it’s the culmination of the GOP’s long-term strategy of
fear-mongering, discrimination and trickle-down economics.

That’s why Nevada Republicans have declared their unwavering support for
Trump in 2016. In the Senate race, Congressman Heck
<https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/730450913110962176> – already a rubber
stamp for Washington Republicans – and his primary opponent Sharron Angle

have both lined up behind Trump as the GOP nominee. In CD3 and CD4,
conservative businessman Danny Tarkanian

Republican Senate boss Michael Roberson

and accidental Congressman Cresent Hardy

are all aboard the Trump Train. And, despite the circus distractions, these
Republican candidates are all pushing the same anti-worker

policy agenda as Trump.

“Donald Trump’s ugly and divisive campaign is appalling, but today’s
Capitol Hill meetings are a reminder that Republicans running for office in
Nevada are just as bad as Trump on the issues,” *said Nevada State
Democratic Party Chair Roberta Lange.* “These spineless Republican
politicians have knowingly embraced a racist, misogynistic, anti-worker
bully to occupy the White House, and they all share his extreme political
agenda. Democrats are unified in the belief that this reckless,
out-of-touch billionaire lacks the temperament and judgment to be our
Commander-in-Chief, and we’re going to hold Trump and his supporters
accountable in November.”
