There’s been an article kicking around the media circuits lately: Frank Luntz, widely-publicized conductor of Republican focus groups, finds that all those Republican (mostly made) vaccine-“hesitant” idiots will not change their minds no matter what any politician (even Trump) or other government authority says – but they might be more open-minded to persuasion from doctors, especially doctors in their local areas. > **[Doctors, not politicians, are best messengers about importance of COVID...](https://www.bangordailynews.com/2021/03/19/opinion/editorials/doctors-not-politicians-are-best-messengers-about-importance-of-covid-vaccinations/)** > > "In a poll conducted last month by the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than a quarter of Republican voters said they would definitely not get a COVID vaccine," the BDN Editorial Board writes. ---

I laughed when we were visiting Las Vegas and walked between Caesar’s Palace and the Flamingo. If you look north you can see the TrUMP hotel with the big TrUMP name in glowing letters, very visible at night. It’s hard to miss. The funny part is that supposedly it’s the only major hotel in Las Vegas that doesn’t have a casino. It raises a few questions, such as “Why did they NOT allow him to have a casino?” or “Why in the world would anyone want to stay at a place in Las Vegas that didn’t have a casino?” or “Why would any organization host events in Las Vegas there when there are other choices?” I bet the answers are somewhere online, but I think I already know the reasons. ---

Sheldon Adelson said “no”. Trump was never allowed a casino in Vegas simply because he didn’t have the money. Ask the NFL before the USFL days. Same thing. ---

> [@Locrian](#): > > Ask the NFL before the USFL days. Same thing. The NFL thought he was completely mobbed up and a total liability for that alone. They were iffy on the money but suspected any he could manage would not be legitimate if subjected to inspection. Allegations of mafia connections (unsurprising in real estate in NYC at the time) have dogged him for decades. Of course, in hindsight, it’s also looking like he wasn’t good for the money anyway. Adelson could be right about that but considering the connections Vegas has with the mob, they’d also be in a position to know better. ---

> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > The NFL thought he was completely mobbed up and a total liability for that alone. If the Nevada Gaming Commission had the same info that would have prevented his getting a gaming license as well. Yeah, back in the bad old days there were plenty of mob-connected casinos but in the 60s they were pushed out which is when they started back in the drug business again. This left a few eccentric individuals like Bill Harrah and Howard Hughes, LLCs, or close held corporations. One club Iworked for had twenty owners in one of the latter two. _Everyone_ with a stake in the casino had to be investigated. In the 70s the Commission decided if a corporation was traded in a public market like NYSE, only the shareholders holding 5% or more of the corporation had to be vetted. ---

I don’t know that I have all that high hopes for my fellow buckeyes, but maybe if Portman’s republican replacement is odious enough, then the Democrat will win in the general. The putative Democrats running for the seat so far (no one has announced, but a few have made suggestive motions) seem to be very high quality candidates. ---

The sad thing is, the MAGAns will rewrite the news themselves and attribute it to Fake News. I remember reading the commentary for a Newsweek article and one of them wrote “Trump never said ‘Nazis are good people.’ That’s been debunked.” ---
