3. These are GOP strongholds in Southern CA.

They are "iffy".
District 29 Issa, 50 Hunter (both in San Diego County), 48 Rohrabacher, 39 Royce (both in LA County).

Issa has had INDIVISIBLE at his doorstep at his local office every Tues for 1 1/2 years. He is retiring. Who knows how the midterms go there, but the local ads have been fighting against the GOP candidate(s). Hunter has pretty loyal constituents unfortunately. I do not know much about the LA counties' candidates.
Rohrabacher is the Russian loving, pot loving, guitar playing nut job.

We have got to work to flip it - it might be Southern California but judging by the number of MAGAholes here you would think it's in rural Alabama. It sucks.

6. I had a feeling that is how it is in GOP strongholds.

Nunes is another one who still has a strong fan base. Sick sick, sick ! There is no excuse for their chosen ignorance.

He said the campaign to unseat him is insane. It does suck living in GOP strongholds in an otherwise liberal state. Lots of Blue Lives Matter flags and MAGA bumper stickers where we live.

8. There are three dems running against Nunes, right?

Janz is the one with the most financial support I have gathered. He and another Dem are running on local issues (smart) and are against single payer healthcare (that sucks). Too bad! I guess none will be voting for Feinstein or State Dems.

I am SOOOOOOO glad I live in a blue neighborhood in CA and can discuss how much the moron is hated with complete, random strangers (like the supermarket). It has kept me sane.

9. I don't know much about what's going on there but I think that is right.

I wish I could live in a blue area, my area is bright red and it blows to live in as a liberal.

and if I lived in a red area like you I would have to be drunk and/or on Xanax 24/7 to be able to tolerate what you are able to do. I have gotten into trouble more than once in my lifetime due to it. I applaud you. You are a better man than I (if I were a man that is). RESIST!

I have a feeling that isn't the only seat where we can lock them out.
