THE PRESIDENT Rallied Democrats in Nevada today

Former President Barack Obama headlined a rally in Las Vegas with Jacky Rosen, the Democratic candidate for Senate, and other Nevada Democrats. He told the roaring crowd to "remember who started" the current trend of economic growth and "the longest streak of job creation on record."

He was met with loud cheers at the arena at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

"I miss you, too," he told the roaring crowd.

Obama called upon Democrats to "restore some sanity to our politics," warning darkly of demagogues who "promise to fight for the little guy" and then "start undermining institutions essential to our democracy."

"There are states where Republicans are actively purging voter rolls right now," Obama told the crowd. This kind of politics is not conservative, he said. "It's radical."

Republicans, he said, handed out $1.5 trillion in tax cuts "for folks who are already sitting pretty." They "don't even try to pay for it," Obama said.

Don't boo, he told the crowd – just vote. "Booing doesn't help anyone. Voting helps."

Clark turnout was 19K at 3 PM today. It will go over 20K for third straight day. So it is going to be another huge day compared to 2014, when Day 3 had 10,400. In 2010, it was 17,160. This is starting to look like a hybrid, a three-quarters of a presidential year turnout in NV.
