Presidential debate and among those watching you and listening to you quite closely.

Is one of the most influential business leaders in the world imagine knowing that in that audience.

Is the casino mogul Steve -- well imagine no more because that was the case.

In the recent presidential debate featuring all the Republican cabinets.

Seems you had.

A good year an eye on all that arguing back and forth some people's that it was rapid.

Issue machine gun fire.

Did you come away with any.

Impressive as it is cool -- -- more than -- -- else.

Well first of all I thought today Anderson Cooper did a very good job of keeping all the Republicans on the defensive.

I don't know if that was by design or just a coincidence.

By the way -- to the neighboring Isabella believe another news network anchor but it's -- And and I don't think -- I don't think CN district CNN is particularly sensitive to the the real life issues that are its stake for the country.

But.

The the attacks by period Santorum on Mitt Romney were predictable because -- There's leadership position at the moment I think Michelle Bachmann there's always pretty straight forward and.

We'll wait on those attacks T reason they were -- personalized thing about the this firing illegals to work on its properties somebody's been out -- for years dismiss proven false but you think that got a little crazy.

I sure did I mean it was subcontractor that did it needed no.

And the idea that employers should be held responsible for our hiring.

Or not hiring illegal aliens is perfectly understandable here in Nevada because were regulated industry.

We're not permitted to do such things we have to verify the citizenship -- or the legality of the people that we hire.

That's a reasonable thing to ask a business person to -- You know we we been in business for forty odd years.

We're over half of our workforce -- -- represented by unions.

We've never really had a serious dispute with the commentary unit in forty odd years they're friends of ours we.

We take the approach to this a partnership between business and and the union.

So you think the governor when He went after Mitt Romney on that issue.

Went too far -- -- it's himself permanently with Steve went.

Well let me put it this way and I think that Rick Perry.

Was acting more like a guy coming from behind that He was someone who was going to successfully challenge.

Someone of tyrannical pulse.

-- -- schools.

And I think that I think so much now it's become part of television.

And how will you handle yourself to do you present yourself Prius potentially and all that sort of thing Newt Gingrich.

Showed more ability.

In -- during -- the protecting mr.

To put this thing and proper perspective as He has on to other occasions.

Than any of the others -- I enjoyed defective and shall Buckman and Newt Gingrich kept their eye on the ball.

I think from the is the most experienced guy at this moment so -- so it's probably a good form to go home.

Politics without -- -- and his 999.

I think Herman Cain is spews.

Shorter trip to -- ability to with -- -- -- -- people.

And you and I both know that winning elections have some awful -- to do that.

People say Herman Cain doesn't have enough experience I find that particularly ludicrous when you compare to the present a United States -- no experience of anything.

Little -- running a business or catering to a large group of employees and keeping them happy.

So I think we've got a very.

A very fluid situation now I think Romney is substantially had -- New Hampshire -- As we get into the president -- the single probably sort itself out but as far as I'm concerned it's anybody -- Obama.

On the data kind of seeing the rules -- -- Moving up its primary in Florida moving up its primaries so I think by -- very.

The next two weeks we'll have that the nominee decided but but I -- overstate that humorously but to make the point.

That could it hurt Republicans in your -- Steve just a settle on a nominee -- -- let's say February in this game is over and then they -- meet until the end of August early September.

What happens then.

During that period between the primary season and when the real election -- starts in the summer.

All the money that the Democrats that the unions have put up.

Will be used to talk to a -- -- phrase friend in my carpet bomb and personally attacked.

Anything about any Republican candidate no matter how scurrilous -- her in untrue it may be.

I think it's important for the for the candidate and the Republican Party during that period of march April may and June.

Do have enough money.

To keep Americans focused on the damage that's being done.

To the working man to the living standard of the people who work for a living whose paychecks are getting smaller in real terms.

Who skillfully healthcare is getting more expensive.

And who people who have homes -- are paying their mortgages.

Are gonna find that there's less and less scalable.

Because it's just government policy to pay their mortgage and their children's education -- their food and their guests of their clothing.

See then on their.
