Impeachment backfire? Schiff opponent launches new ad thanking him for helping Trump
Fox News ^ | February 22, 2020 | Marisa Schultz

Eric Early, a Republican vying to oust Rep. Adam Schiff from office, launched his first TV ad Saturday mocking the "limelight"-seeking California Democrat for leading an unsuccessful impeachment crusade.

The 30-second spot features several people telling Schiff "thank you."

VIDEO, Thank you Adam

Early, a Los Angeles attorney running against Schiff for Congress, says Republicans are grateful that Schiff's impeachment backfire has boosted President Trump's likelihood of winning another four years in office.

“I thanked Adam Schiff for helping President Trump ultimately get reelected to the presidency," Early, 60, told Fox News. "President Trump’s approval ratings have never been higher since this impeachment. We can thank, in part, Adam Schiff for that."

The ad will run on cable and broadcast stations through the March 3 California primary, Early said.

"Adam Schiff walks around acting like he’s this brilliant genius who’s smarter than the rest of us," Early said. "Yet this so-called genius managed to not only help increase President Trump’s approval ratings but also helped destroy Joe Biden in the process. That takes some serious talent. Of course, that was not the result that Adam Schiff wanted."

Representatives for Schiff did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Early has an uphill climb to become the next congressman in a district that votes solidly Democrat. Schiff has raised a tremendous $9.2 million for his 2020 reelection campaign, records show. Early has brought in $528,000, which includes $108,000 in loans or donations the Republican made to his campaign.

It would be the icing on the cake of Schiff lost his seat due to his impeachment machinations.

I don’t disagree, but California seems to be in a downward spiral of idiocy and incompetence. I can’t imagine what could stop it other than the deportation of millions of no-good foreigners.

Amen, how sweet it would be. It’s a long shot in that district but miracles do happen.

I believe Early is one of several GOP’ers running in the rat district. I think independent Barbosa has a better shot at making it through the jungle primary.

Would it not be easier to arrest Schiff for leaking Classified information? Then he would not be running for office. Just an idea.

Schiff has his eye on Diane Feinstein’s seat. Even if this add won’t cause him to lose his house seat (and who knows?) maybe it will bloody him in his quest to try move up.
I believe the key to destroying him is Ed Buck.

Maybe President Trump should tweet Schiffless and read this summary from Early!

You may well be right about his Buck connection, it should be a huge factor.

We “normals” are hoping and praying that The REAL AMERICAN residents (and even alotof Democrats!) of Kali-fornia have begun to see the light and will vote to end this Democrat caused “downward spiral of idiocy and incompetence!”

I’m not holding my breath, but stranger things have happened!

AND, after “Shifty” Schiff is no longer a Congressman, perhaps he can be fitted for an orange jump suit and a VERY SMALL federal cell!

Maybe the new acting DNI can set up a sting operation and burn the little twit.

Unlikely, but it would still count as icing if it’s close after a hard-fought race. He should not get off unscathed.

Even if you got rid of all the illegals, you’d still have all of hollyweird and the glitterati, and the leftard establishment.

You can’t get rid of the bad ones, but you can rally the sane ones. Trump at his Bakersfield rally talked of getting seven more Republican seats in California, and he was talking to farmers about farm issues, especially water. Unseating Schiff would be wonderful, but what’s most doable is building a power base in the places where the pissed-off and forgotten men and women of California have to put up with the nonsense imposed on them by the urban centers. They’re outvoted, but that’s just in state-wide elections, and doesn’t mean they can’t get more congressmen, sheriffs, mayors and assemblymen (or whatever the hell they have for a legislature).

There is only one other Republican and he has not filed an fec report so he has no money. Green Pages doesn’t even have a hyperlink for the guy.

Barbosa has some money but will not have the organization to beat Shift in the general.

“”Early has an uphill climb to become the next congressman in a district that votes solidly Democrat.””

Not necessarily. Schiff took it from Jim Rogan, a Republican so it can go Republican again with hard work and let’s hope it happens!
