GOP Decides To Cut Losses Throws Dana Rohrabacher and Mimi Walters Over The Side

That’s the gist of it, and with good voter turn out, that’s how it will go down. Politico puts both races, Rohrabacher and Walters in the toss up category, which is simply wonderful. They both need to go down the tubes, “Putin’s greatest congressional ally” Rohrabacher, most especially.

The Congressional Leadership Fund, Paul Ryan’s SuperPAC, is declining to spend money to support 15 term incumbent Dana Rohrabacher and 3 term incumbent Mimi Walters, both of Orange County, CA-48 and CA-45, respectively. That’s because the Los Angeles media market is the second most expensive market in the country, behind New York, and the ad rates are exorbitant. So, that translates as one of two things: either the GOP believes that Rohrabacher and Walters are shoo-ins, and the polls sure as hell don’t reflect that, or they’ve decided to cut their losses. And they’re not the only ones the GOP has given up on. Los Angeles Times:

The GOP has already cut loose several incumbents, including Reps. Mike Coffman in the Denver suburbs and Mike Bishop in southern Michigan.

“Republicans are taking a cold-blooded look at races to decide where to put resources and where to withdraw resources to put somewhere else,” said Stuart Rothenberg, a nonpartisan election analyst who has spent decades sizing up campaigns.
On Friday, the super PAC launched an additional $5-million ad campaign on the main broadcast stations in Los Angeles, the nation’s second most expensive media market after New York.

But the fund’s opening broadcast ads support only two of the four Republican candidates in the Southland’s hardest-fought races: Rep. Steve Knight of Palmdale and Young Kim of Fullerton, relegating its Rohrabacher and Walters ads to cable channels with fewer viewers.

1. That was Ryan's PAC

The NRCC is still spending for Rohrabacher but may soon cut Walters loose.

4. We are being bombarded with anti-Walters mailers here in OC.

The TV ads are pretty evenly split. I hope Walters gets booted. Effing trump humper.

The OC is now purple and heading blue. Hillary won the OC in 2016.

5. I hope CA, NY and New England go solid blue.

Those states hopefully will begin the extermination of the Repuke party.
