Devin Nunes Could Lose His Seat Because Of The Russia Probe

"SNIP.......

Nunes is also notorious because of the famous “Nunes Memo.” No other issue fires up Democrats more than this memo which is an object of scorn and derision.

But there are other issues that many believe also help to make Nunes vulnerable. For example, Nancy Gilmore, a retired engineer in Clovis, CA, said there are people in desperate need of help and Nunes has been unresponsive to their needs. “He’s voted against air quality, EPA regulations, clean drinking water. Very baseline health issues. There’s the whole Russia thing, but what’s most concerning is his complete and utter disregard for this district.”

Still, there is no doubt that Nunes’s work defending Trump from questions about Russian meddling in U.S. elections has made Nunes a vulnerable target in the midterms, even though Trump won his central California district by 10 percentage points.

A local prosecutor running against Nunes, Democrat Andrew Janz, is on track to raise $1 million this quarter after raking in more money online than any Democrat in the country, except for Conor Lamb, who won the recent special election in Pennsylvania in an even more Republican district.

that really seemed to resonate with the voters back here. FDR congers up a few images, the WPA and other infrastructure projects and social welfare programs like social security, both currently very popular. Why use a slogan like "Better Deal" when you can run successfully on the ideas of the original New Deal?
