It's the attention to detail on the campaign trail that often means so much to voters — like pronouncing the name of the state the way the residents do. Donald Trump touched down in Nevada this week and got it wrong. Not only did he repeatedly say the name of the state with the second-syllable emphasis off kilter, Ne-VAH-duh, like out-of-staters often do, he insisted he was right. "It's pronounced Nev-AD-a," tweeted Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.). As veteran poltical reporter Jon Ralston noted, Politico even did a video on the mishap.
