Congressman Issa told CBS News 8 he voted for the bill because he believes it's leading health care in the right direction. "The changes in there were changes that people needed to have - including moving responsibility back to the states," he said.

As for older Americans seeing premiums rise under the new bill, Congressman Issa says they are the ones with money therefore poor young, healthy Americans should not be subsidizing them. The congressman advocates younger workers getting health insurance - which brings him full circle to moving responsibility back to the states.

When questioned about Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election, he said he does believe Russians meddled in the election. However, he has no problem with the president meeting with the Russian ambassador.

Congressman Issa also supported the firing of FBI director James Comey.

1. He should be the #1 on the list

for replacement. Getting rid of Chaffetz and him would be a hallelujah moment.

3. He is #1 on the list.

He is on very shaky ground there. My daughter and her husband live in that district. She attended his town hall.

I would like to hear what other DU members in his district think about his chances.

5. Good.

I recall he just barely got re-elected the last time and had to actually "campaign".
