The Republicans worst nightmare in California

The California redistricting passed and now there is change happening fast in the state and Republicans are scared. Republican Darrell Issa has been in Congress since 2003 and has decided not to run for reelection in his newly drawn 48th District and is openly talking about moving to Texas to run for Congress in friendlier ground. You can’t make up a more perfect example of how much the GOP favors winning elections by deciding who their voters are instead of on the basis of their policies and record. His retirement  leaves the 48th open to a Democratic flip and previous Democratic candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar is in the race take the seat. Ammar is a child of both Palestinian and Mexican heritage who grew up right in the district and is also now serving as a Naval Reserve officer. He is running as a populist for working Americans who have been left out of the economy and democracy for far too long. The California primary election is occurring right now up to June 2nd.
