In Issa's district

[SHRED]

And I see two candidates that want to challenge him.
Applegate and Levin.
Levin a more recent challenger.

Will Applegate and Levin split the vote or is that not how we are set up here in California?
Sorry...I'm having a brain fart.

1. The primary is every candidate lumped together, the general is the top 2 vote getters . . .

the top 2 vote getters from the primary. So the general would most likely end up being Issa and a Democrat. And whoever that Democratic candidate proved to be, they'll have an excellent opportunity to best Issa.

It's conceivable the General Election could be between Issa and a second Republican, but I'd be amazed if a Democrat doesn't end up on the General Ballot.

3. Applegate came close last time

I'm hopeful.

4. So am I. This time it seems plausible to rid ourselves of Issa, Rohrabacher, & possibly Royce . . .

I'm very hopeful.

2. Not my congressman

But, FUCK, I hate that guy....

5. I was behind Applegate in 2016 & will be behind him in 2018

Issa was considered an absolute shoe in (started with a double digit lead) yet Applegate's smart, direct, inexhaustible small donor campaign squeaked Issa's win margin to less than 1%. Issa's jig is up, and Applegate will topple him next cycle.

And maybe this time the DNC, DSCC will be smarter, more timely and appropriate in their donations to Applegate.
