BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF:  MAINSTREAM MEDIA GOVERNOR'S RACE POLL LEAVES RYAN BUNDY OUT


The NBC/Marist Poll released figures for the statewide Senate and Governor's races in Nevada this week with Republican Adam Laxalt leading 46-45 in a 'head to head' contest with Democrat Steve Sisolak for Governor.   But there are other candidates in the race like Libertarian Jared Lord and Independent Ryan Bundy.

NBC/Marist did create a three way set-up and there Laxalt gets a wider lead over Sisolak 44 to 40 percent with Jared Lord at eight percent.    But again no Ryan Bundy listed in the poll.

They put other categories in the with the three candidates with "None of these candidates" getting two percent and "Other" getting one percent with "Undecided" at six percent.

Overall if one considers MSM polling to be biased in favor of Democrats looks like good news for the GOP candidate Adam Laxalt, but again the missing ingredient here is Ryan Bundy being listed along with the rest of the candidates.

There are fears of course that Bundy could siphon votes away from Laxalt next month and earlier this month the "Reno Gazette-Journal" asked him about dropping out of the race to help Laxalt.

Ryan Bundy said he hasn't been asked by Laxalt to drop out, but also said he's not totally opposed to the notion under the right circumstances.  He says some people have approached him about getting out of the race, but he would not mention names.

His bottom line:

"I'd have to be confident in him that he would protect Nevada and Nevada's people.   He has failed to do that in the past, in his current position (Nevada Attorney General)."


Bundy says he hasn't heard from Laxalt directly and for now:

"I have no confidence in him"


Healthcare costs have become an issue in some political races with Democrats often seeking to capitalize on the increased costs ("Medicare for all") with President Trump saying he's working to keep them down.

Ryan Bundy offered his perspective in an interview with public radio station KUNR in Reno when asked about the notion of Medicaid-Medicare expansion:

"Those are socialistic type programs that I don't necessarily agree with.   I can see some good they do, and I can also see a lot of confusion and harm they cause in the medical industry.


I think because of them medical costs have risen (and) that there's a lot of corruption and fraud that takes place because of them, but yet I see a lot of people rely on these things for their healthcare benefits. 


  It's not something that can be dropped easily or quickly, but I still believe that medical care is an individual responsibility."
