If Hillary had won in 2016, who do you think would’ve been her Republican opponent in 2020?
We would be living in such a different political world if Trump hadn't won in 2016 that I have no idea who would have replaced him as the Republican standard-bearer if he had lost that election. If Hillary had won in 2016, I'd like to think it would have just ended the MAGA experiment right there and smothered Trumpism in its racist little crib. I'm sure some of the candidates who lost the 2016 GOP nomination to Trump like Cruz or Rubio would have taken another shot. Paul Ryan probably would have remained in Congress if Trump hadn't taken over the Republican Party and if he continued as Speaker of the House he could have been a potential candidate.
You know, before Trump took control of the GOP and built the party around his cult of personality, I thought that the Republicans had a potential superstar national candidate in Brian Sandoval, who was Governor of Nevada for two terms (2011-2019). Sandoval would have been a really difficult candidate for Democrats in a general election -- a moderate Republican who supported abortion access and the Affordable Care Act, and also happened to be Hispanic so he didn't look like a regular Republican politician. Sandoval was respected enough that Senator Harry Reid tried to get President Obama to appoint him to the Supreme Court when Justice Scalia died (Harry Reid also might have been trying to get Sandoval on the Court to make sure that the Governor, a popular Nevada Republican, wasn't a potential threat to run for the Senate). If the Republican Party hadn't become what it has become, Sandoval was the type of candidate who could have been a game changer on the national level.
These 3 Republican governors could pose the biggest threat to the Senate health care bill
On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that a group of governors from both sides of the aisle had "conspired privately for months" to thwart efforts by Republicans in Congress to repeal and replace the ACA.
These efforts "helped stymie" Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's ability to gather enough votes to pass the bill, the Times reported.
Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada, Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona are three Republican governors who have been the most critical of the health care plan. Read more (6/28/17)

Millionaire Will Build Blockchain Smart City in Nevada
A crypto millionaire is moving ahead to build an enormous smart city in Nevada, in which Blockchain technology will drive all interactions.
Creating a ‘New Kind of Business’ in the Desert
To build this high-tech city, Jeffry Berns, CEO of Blockchains, LLC bought 67,000 acres of desert land in northern Nevada for $170 million in 2018. The company explains that the property was acquired to create a new kind of business and residential community.
The smart city will integrate 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, according to Blockchains LLC,
The planned city will encompass, among other projects, a highly-secured, high-tech park that joins blockchain technology with artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing and nanotechnology; residential units that will provide a new living environment to thousands; and various financial, business and retail concepts that will take advantage of emerging technologies.
A blockchain city may not be “Utopia”, but it’s sure to make for a better way to live! https://t.co/hIga0AfZx0

Nathaniel Popper, in his The New York Times article entitled “A Cryptocurrency Millionaire Wants to Build a Utopia in Nevada,” describes how Berns envisions his dream community,
He imagines a sort of experimental community spread over about a hundred square miles, where houses, schools, commercial districts and production studios will be built. The centerpiece of this giant project will be the blockchain, a new kind of database that was introduced by Bitcoin.
Local officials, eager for economic development, are supportive of Berns’ project. Popper reports that last month, Berns joined a panel with Brian Sandoval, Governor of Nevada, and Elon Musk, CEO Tesla. At the event, the governor read a proclamation naming the Blockchains, LLC property “Innovation Park.”
Construction on the property will start late in 2019, as soon as the master plan is in place and approved by the county.
Blockchain to Put the Customer in Control of Energy Creation
On November 1, 2018, as a beginning of what is being planned for Innovation Park, Blockchains, LLC and NV Energy signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining their agreement to join efforts on energy projects powered by blockchain technology. According to a press release, “Blockchains and NV Energy’s shared vision will pilot concepts that place the customer in control of energy creation, consumption, storage, and transactions.”
This project could be used to provide energy to 1.3 million customers in Nevada. At the signing of the MoU, Berns declared,
These types of collaborative efforts, which return the power and control in transactions to the customer, are the very essence of blockchain technology. This partnership is only the beginning of what we have planned for Innovation Park.
Several initiatives to build blockchain-driven smart cities are underway. What do you think about the plans for Innovation Park in Nevada? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
