Where were California GOP candidates Tuesday? Not with Trump

[TexasTowelie]

President Trump vowed earlier this year to stump for Republicans in competitive House races, saying he would spend "probably four or five days a week" helping GOP candidates get elected. As he made his first visit to California, a state with several seats in play, few Republicans seemed interested in taking him up on his offer.

A presidential visit in an election year often comes with an entourage of local officials and candidates hoping to catch a photo op or ride his coattails. But in Southern California, a hotbed of the left's resistance out West that could prove crucial in the midterms, many aren’t eager to appear with Trump.

Breaking with tradition, no members of Congress traveled to California on Air Force One. When Trump arrived in San Diego on Tuesday morning, he was met at different points by retiring Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista) and the other Republican congressman from the area, Rep. Duncan D. Hunter of Alpine.

The Times asked more than a dozen Southern California GOP candidates if they would attend events with Trump. Most of them either did not respond or said they had no plans to join the president.

1. Hiding.

2. And he has such a good success rate

with his endorsements.

3. Since his plans were up in the air they could

use that as an excuse for not showing up. Where were Rohrabacher and Nunes? I was there at the border protesting and he was about 1 1/2 hour late but Hunter was still there with him (I hope he is in jail by Nov). Carl DeMiao said he isn't running for his seat but he is a GOP liar.
