Saw your comment, and thought I would add my own.
I don't believe that Issa is dirty. He has consistently fought for our side for years and years, even during dark days in Washington. He has also fought for Trump, his agenda, and Conservative principles.
Issa didn't want to run for a 10th term in Congress for many reasons.
- He is the richest man in Congress and doesn't need the aggravation
- He had to suspend all of his town halls (that he has been holding for years) last year, because he was being swamped by Soros paid thugs and screaming Communists. It ticked him off, and he was nearly assaulted.
- He is 64 years old and really does love his family and wants to spend more time with them
- He only won in 2016 by 0.5%, because of liberals and illegals in his district
- He voted against the Tax Bill in December, because the capping of deductions (including SALT) is going to sock it to middle class and upper middle class families and their taxes are going up, not down. I know that isn't a popular point with many Freepers around here, but it's the truth. Conservatives in high tax states (Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, California) got a knife to the neck with that Tax Bill. Issa knew this, said so, and voted NO on the tax bill.
Thanks for the perspective, SP.
It’s nice to know that we aren’t a mob mentality and can look at thinks from both sides.
Thanks for the extra information about Issas bona fides, I had thought he was a white hat, but did not know much about him.
