AP: Darrell Issa finally wins House race

[No Dems 2016]

I think the main reason this race was competitive is that California Republicans had few reasons to go to the polls in 2016 because everyone knew Hillary was going to carry the state and the Senate race was a non-starter in that it was essentially a runoff between two Dems. I think that’s one of the main reasons Trump did so poorly in California and thus inflated Hillary’s lead. That and the strong likelihood of illegals and non-citizens being allowed to vote.

The State Board of Canvassers did. When is AP going to admit it?

[morphing libertarian]

I’m in Issa’s district in SD county ty. The other guy had military experience. Also ISSA supported Trump. This IS Cal even though we have more military than most. The fact that Issa survived when Cal went overwhelmingly democrat (name doesn’t help either) is a triumph.

Already got an AG - Jeff Sessions.

What kind of Marine would be a democrat? :(

[RightField]

You're exactly right. Our daughter still lives in Issa's district and is a Trump supporter, but I could not convince her to vote this year. She is 40 years old and said her vote wouldn't count because there was no way Trump had a chance in CA.

She called on us the day after the election and said her office was full of crying, bewildered people who couldn't believe what happened.

And I thought there was no possible way Crist would win

Pinellas is his back yard. Not that I voted for him, but he actually got out there and talked to the people one on one in his district. People in Pinellas like Crist and think he was an OK governor. There were a few Trump and Crist signs in the same yard in my hood.

Congrats to one of the good guys

[DoughtyOne]

I trashed your last request.

I’m trashing this one too.

LOL

You did capture the mood though. Same exact tactics...

[SaveFerris]

Well, hey I thought it was worth a shot.....ya might have sent me 10 million dollars!!!!

;)

[DoughtyOne]

I actually considered it. If I hadn’t already sent out $32 million, I probably would have been more receptive.

LOL

And if you believe this...

I gave some, but it wasn’t significant by any stretch of the imagination.

[socal_parrot]

Issa was saved by the south Orange County portion of his district. He lost in San Diego County, but won OC by over 16,000 votes.

[ecomcon]

I’m wondering how a marine votes for Hillary Clinton.

Oh yeah, he turned into a lawyer.

[NorthMountain]

I’m glad he won, but I’m really sick and tired of folks sending me notes starting with: “Dear Friend;” and ending with, “(10), (25), (50), (100), (250), (500), or write in a larger amount.”

I get a bunch of those. Most of 'em come from a guy named Donald ...

[SaveFerris]

We just need to set up “The Doughty One Foundation”.

OK, so you become Secretary of State, dodge sniper fire, call Benghazi terrorist attacks as nothing, and then later run for President.

All the while laundering money from foreign governments, domestic companies, foreign companies through the “foundation”.

Oh, and you’ll need your own private email server. Put it in your bathroom. Make sure the Delete key works repeatedly.

You’ll need to switch to “Democrat” and then you’ll have hundreds of millions of dollars to play with!! Easy!!

[DoughtyOne]

Be very careful about that.

Since the election I have received only one from Trump.

There are a bunch of knock offs using names like Eric to sucker folks in, and claiming support will help Trump.

When you look closer, these are not Trump organizations.

These are PACS, and they are trying to cash in on Trump’s popularity.

I wouldn’t sent them a dime.
