Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland politics of Clark County

So should you write-in or write-off Liz Pike for Clark County Council Chair? Well, be careful what you check off because not all is as it seems.

 

Fact is that a vote for Republican Liz is actually a vote for the Democrat contender. If you read the Republican paid for ad in The Reflector, then you know she agrees with independent Marc Boldt on most issues. What she doesn’t agree with is Marc’s past support of a competent Democrat over an incompetent Republican. For this act of Republican Party heresy, Boldt was excommunicated from the Republican Party and this is why Liz is running. It’s called payback.  

 

To make things even more confusing, the county’s Young Democrats are supporting Marc Boldt and not the leading Democrat contender. At least they are being excommunicated for their heresy by their party. Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland politics of Clark County.



 

Look, Liz Pike has no chance of winning this election. However, she can take votes away from the true conservative in the race – Marc Boldt. So if you are the John Boehner and Mitchell McConnell type, then vote for Liz. If you are the Ted Cruz and Rand Paul type, then vote for Boldt. And if you are the Bernie and Hillary type? Well, don’t listen those crazy Young Democrats or the coalition of past Republican Party county chairs who are telling you that Marc Boldt is the best person.
