Democrats are locked in a battle to replace retiring Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), with no clear front-runner in what has become the most expensive House race in the country.
More than a dozen candidates from both parties are competing for the seat in California’s “jungle” primary on Tuesday, where the top two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the general election in the fall.
Issa, the outspoken former House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman, represents one of three GOP-held districts in the state where a split electorate could give Republicans a shot at advancing a pair of candidates to the November midterms.
That scenario is giving heartburn to Democrats, who once viewed Issa’s San Diego-area seat as a prime pickup opportunity in the fall. The district has long been a GOP stronghold but has shifted toward Democrats in recent years, with presidential candidate Hillary Clinton winning the area by 7 points in 2016.
“This race is a flip of a sideways coin,” one national Democratic strategist told The Hill. “Any of the five front-running candidates could get into the top two, which could mean two Republicans, two Democrats, or a Republican and a Democrat. I don’t think we know.”
Etc...

In other areas of California, I have thought that a Republican should run as a “Conservative Democrat” and try to become one of the top two. Or better, yet, a conservative, with no paper trail or track record, run as a flaming liberal, get elected and then change parties and vote conservative. The worst that could happen is to get replaced after one term.
just vote conservative while staying in the party.
Its hard to get excited about Issa. He’s another fraud like Gowdy - talks big but nothing ever happens.
The only reason to vote for him is to maintain R control of the House. How sad that is.
BTW I don’t live in CA but I did donate to an R who is making a difference - Devin Nunes. Donate at

Your right we shouldn’t even bother voting because it will never make a difference right, that’s what I keep hearing from people that don’t live here........as if they didn’t have any problems in their states.
Get Issa to change his party affiliation, they can have him.

Issa isn’t running....he retired this year, so what’s your point?
Members of congress have oversight responsibilities. Without an Attorney general, which we haven’t had for close to 10 years, congress becomes a toothless old dog! That’s why Goudy is leaving and sounding way more moderate. He’s looking for a US Attorney’s position in the DOJ.
The cancer of commies has forced his hand. He sees this illegal invasion has cost him. WAKE UP this what your offspring will have to deal with. Are you willing to fight for them?
This could be fun
There’s always like 10 demoncats running
Only a couple serious republicans run
Bwa ha ha ha ha
I love it when liberals eat shiite out here !
Issa is NOT running.
I am going to miss Issa and Gowdy. Two of the Houses’s best actors.
My two cents....Every Republican, Conservative, Independent, Blue Dog Democrat voter in California should cast their votes today for John Cox, the Republican candidate running for Governor of California. Gavin Newsome, the Democrat Party progressive, left wing, Communist will further destroy the once great state of California with his nutcase ideas, mantras & program agendas.
Yep, no more California, Dreaming, no more Beach Boys music, no more California Girls, no more McDonnell-Douglas, No more, Boeing, no more “Drag Racing”, no more Aerospace Companies, just The Googles, etc., of this insane world, the electronic Democrat low life Party, Big Brother that will control you and your every move. California voters...all of you, up wake and get into the real world..not the world of druggies and homeless peeing & sleeping in the San Francisco & Los Angeles streets!!!
Do the impossible today. Vote for John Cox and help & assist Cox to come in first and win the California Governor primary election...”Do It”!!!
