The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee isn't fooling around about unseating GOP Rep. Darrell Issa in CA-49. Here comes the latest from the DCCC's $3 million commitment to the race—yet another ad unequivocally tying Issa to Donald Trump.
"Even though Donald Trump called women pigs," the narrator says over video of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, "Darrell Issa endorsed him." The ad continues in the same vein, reminding voters that Issa stayed a Trump loyalist even after he "demeaned veterans struggling with PTSD" and "bragged about a history of sexual assault."
As video shows an animated Darrell Issa springing forward to grab Trump's hand and literally slap him on the back, the narrator charges, "Time and again, Darrell Issa has put politics before country."
But really, it's all about showing those two rich guys slapping each other on the back. It just never gets old. Or at least, not for the DCCC. As our Daily Kos Elections digest observed:
Trump is anathema to this affluent and well-educated district in suburban San Diego, which voted for Mitt Romney four years ago but will almost certainly go for Hillary Clinton this time.
