Another District that will be in Democratic Party hands.

Donald Trump is the gift that keeps on giving. With a job approval rating in the toilet, scandal ridden since the 2016 Election campaign, is it any wonder Republicans are calling it quits? Who wants that Albatross around their necks?

Any Republican running for office, even at the State and Local level, TIE THEM TO TRUMP!!!!! The R after their name stands for REPULSIVE.

Get within ten feet and "Viper!!!!!! Stand Back!!!!!" That thing was annoying as hell and I've hated him ever since the millionth time I heard that, so even before his political career.

When they first came out, they were so sensitive if you accidentally just bumped into the car they would start squawking at whoever accidentally touched the car. In the parking garage at Universal Studios Florida we would hear them often.

about a recent business associated directly with Issa in North County that needed to be on his annual federal disclosure forms a couple months ago. So, now he's thinking of retiring?
I don't have the details - especially about what sort of business, my husband just told me the disclosure just came over the news about an hour ago.

BTW, our new District Attorney is a liberal.

These traitors will leave office now that the Repugs got their charity tax break bill passed for the 1%, they can “retire” to the sweet life and not have to worry about the ramifications when the economy goes to hell in a hand basket and the rest of us have to suffer for generations.

I don’t think it is an abandon ship move. It is simply the culmination of their efforts to appease their owners. Now it is time for the big payoff once they are out of office.

There are so many to choose. For now I am going to stick to my MO GOP Congressman whom I intend help vote out of office. There is not a single one worth keeping.
