Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) on Sunday dodged questions about whether he wants President Donald Trump to campaign for his re-election in 2018.
“You’re in a tough seat,” Dana Bash asked Issa on “State of the Union,” per CNN’s transcript. “Would you want President Trump to come to your district and campaign for you?”
“I was with Secretary Kelly,” Issa replied, referring to Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.
“But the President?” Bash pressed.
“I was with Secretary Kelly, who is one of his greater appointments,” Issa said. “And I was happy to have him.”
Be careful Issa
Be afraid, Issa. Be very afraid.
That’s a “No.”
I think Clinton took Issa’s district in 2016.
Issa beat his D challenger by a very thin margin.
He doesn’t want Trump by his side.
It appears to be dawning on Cong. Issa that he is “a dead man walking” in 2018. Good.
