So Ryan got insufficient Trump approval. Issa got insufficient approval numbers. Looks like the GOP is in a vicious circle. A viscous downward spiral. The accelerating effects of Trump lasted till now upto his front door. The outreach is a disaster. Issa is an endangered species, especially all the GOPers that run in originally blue states like California. So if the left is also pretty right like a marine corps veteran, the opposition till point dread - id est Trumps outward border-, is virtually zero. So you conquer 75 % of the electorate of the respective originally blue sector without a single line of opposition.
ep. Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) road to an eighth re-election has become rockier with the rise in support for the Democratic Marine Corps veteran challenging him this year, the Orange County Register reported.
After winning by at least 30 percentage points in the 2012 and 2014 primaries, Issa only beat Doug Applegate by 5.7 points in the June primary this year. Under the state’s open primary system, Applegate’s performance enabled him to move on and challenge Issa for his seat representing the state’s 49th congressional district in the general election this November.
