A Darrell Issa comeback?

By Monica Showalter

FTA:
After leaving office in 2018, Rep. Darrell Issa is contemplating a comeback, forming an exploratory committee to consider running for Duncan Hunter’s seat in San Diego’s eastern badlands and parts of Riverside County.
...
It’s good to see Issa back, given his distinguished role in challenging the Obama administration and all its excesses as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Issa, frankly, thrilled us, going after the likes of IRS power-abuser Lois Lerner and later standing with President Trump on almost everything. There’s much for real California conservatives to like about Issa, and with California’s enacted ballot-harvesting, there are not too many left. Like President Trump, Issa was a fighter, and he proved that in going after the Obama juggernaut against the odds. No one really wanted him to retire — that he did was something of a mystery, possibly premised on the idea that he thought Trump wouldn’t last, and we also know he was facing a tough re-election bid in 2018. That he wants back in is obviously a vote of confidence in the political wind’s general direction with Trump at the helm, and that’s a good sign. For beleaguered California conservatives, it would be a welcome thing to see Issa back in politics as a prominent and powerful presence.
...
Thing is, Hunter says he isn’t going anywhere.
