It looks like Darrell Issa is back. Though votes are still being counted as of publication, Issa looks to have a solid second-place finish in Southern California's Congressional District 50 on Super Tuesday. A win means Issa makes it to the general election in California's "jungle primary."
Issa came in second to Democrat Ammar-Campa Najjar in a field of five candidates, three Republicans and two Democrats, in California's contested Congressional District 50, vacated by disgraced Congressman Duncan Hunter, who pleaded guilty to one count of campaign fund misuse. Hunter will be sentenced later this month.
CD 50 covers a portion of San Diego and Riverside counties.
Issa, the former congressman from California's 49th Congressional District, announced his retirement before the 2018 election. That district was partially in Orange County and one of several that saw a sweep by Democrats in one of the last conservative bastions in the state.
Issa says he was no longer a match for the 49th district and also was asked by the Trump White House to serve as director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. The Senate never took up his nomination. Issa says he took himself out of the running for the job and jumped into the CD 50 race. Hunter's father, the venerable former Congressman Duncan L. Hunter, endorsed Issa as did Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich, who did commercials for Issa.

Need the House back. I don’t care how we get it.
Amen. Whatever it takes. If it meant voting for McTraitor to get the HOUSE back I’d do it.
” Ammar-Campa Najjar”
The guy whose grandfather planned and committed the Black September massacre at the ‘72 Olympics.
Even better, his mommy is Mexican.
So he has a double grudge against Americans.
If you had told me in 1972 that the children of the pigs I saw in masks that day shooting athletes would end up in our country calling themselves “Americans” and trying to rule us I would have laughed and said “never happen”.
Issa’s better than any filthy dem.
[If you had told me in 1972 that the children of the pigs I saw in masks that day shooting athletes would end up in our country calling themselves “Americans” and trying to rule us I would have laughed and said “never happen”.]
Campa is his mother’s maiden name, and Najjar is his father’s last name. So he made a hyphenated last name out of both names.
Though he was born and raised Muslim through his teen years, his ads identify him as Christian, apparently so people will not think he’s a Muslim. He plays up being Hispanic as well, and not his middle eastern ethnic background.
I$$A was so tough in his prior investigations. No sale.
There are tons of Arab Christians (Chaldeans) in that district. Issa will win easily. Any of the three Republicans would beat Campa Najjar easily in the general election.
McTraitor?
Which one? There’s so many nowadays....
In the wise words of GWB (LOL) “Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice..... We won’t get fooled again!”
Issa is what Muslims use. Arab Christians call Jesus “Yasu”.
McCain, yes if it meant getting the house back I would.
“”Need the House back. I don’t care how we get it.””
I agree but I don’t agree that Issa is a bad choice. I would like to see how much one FReeper could accomplish without the support of fellow congressional members. Apparently they wouldn’t need anyone’s support...unfortunately that’s not the way it works. It gets so old blaming ONE member for failing to get things done - we heard it constantly about Gowdy, we hear it daily about Lindsay Graham and others.
I believe it also the Aramaic word as well. (Rings a bell from Bible studies long ago.)
I don’t care if he investigates nothing — just as long as he votes straight GOP on the floor.
Issa is an establishment hack. A shame that Carl DeMaio didn’t beat him.
I know that.
