He has 51.4% against his primary opponent's 45.1%. While I imagine that the primary might have drawn relatively more Democrats due to there being a contested Democratic presidential primary, perhaps Democratic turnout will be even relatively higher in November.

I cannot imagine that Issa would bring much to a Trump ticket.

As repugnant as Trump is he does have a certain amount of charisma, whereas Issa has all the charisma of the rotting corpse of a dead rat in the sewer. That Issa continues to be re-elected in my state is source of shame and embarrassment. I would of course LOVE to see him run as Trump's VP. The attack ads would be epic and we could call it the Two Cons in a Can Tour!

So that disqualifies him. Gotta someone with nothing to lose. Issa wants to be Senator or Governor at some point.

Darrell is a washed-up used car salesman. Trump is basic crook. Neither of them have any chance in hell of being in charge of American government.
