Top Nevada GOPer: 2014 Will Be 'Great' For Party Because Minorities, Young People Won't Vote

TOM KLUDT – SEPTEMBER 26, 2013, 7:40 AM EDT
The top Republican in Nevada's state assembly predicted earlier this week that his party will triumph in 2014 in part because minority and young voters will be more apt to stay home in a non-presidential year.

State Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey (R) made the comments in an interview with conservative talk radio host Dan Mason.

"We have some real opportunities in 2014," Hickey said Tuesday. "This is a great year in an off-presidential election. Seemingly no Democrat on the top of the ticket against (Gov. Brian) Sandoval. No Harry Reid. Probably where we had a million voters turn out in 2012, we'll have like 700,000. A lot of minorities, a lot of younger people will not turn out in a non-presidential. It's a great year for Republicans."

1. The USDOJ should be all over this

2. This has nothing to do with the US DOJ.

This is about Democratic voter apathy.

3. He went further.

"I'm a white guy with a yellow wife."

His wife is Korean. He should be married to Sharon Angle instead.

If it's any consolation, the NV Repubs are horrified and the word is that the GOP brass are equally alarmed at the level of stupid rolling out of his mouth.

We consider him a gift that just keeps on giving.
