Obama takes aim at Trump and Heck, encourages early voting for Democrats at Las Vegas rally

President Barack Obama returned to Las Vegas today {Sunday} in the hopes of killing two Republican candidates' political dreams with the same stone.

The president, in a fiery, 30-minute speech to the more than 5,000 gathered at Cheyenne High School, railed against the two Republican candidates at the top of the ticket in Nevada — Donald Trump and U.S. Senate candidate Joe Heck — seeking to tie the two men together despite Heck’s un-endorsement of Trump two weeks ago.

Obama told the crowd that they have a choice: They can either elect Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto as the country’s first Latina U.S. senator, the daughter of a Mexican immigrant “who believes everyone deserves a chance,” or they can elect Heck, “the other guy” who has voted to defund Planned Parenthood and who once supported Trump. Obama said Heck’s withdrawal of an endorsement came too late and after Heck said that he had “high hopes” that Trump would become president and that he trusts Trump’s finger on the nuclear button.

“What the Heck?” Obama asked, to which the crowd shouted back, “Heck no.”
