In the race for California's 50th Congressional District Trump has become the defining factor
Even before Rep. Duncan D. Hunter resigned from Congress last month, it was no secret that the race to replace him was going to get brutal, especially on the Republican side of the aisle.
After all, the top Republican frontrunners, former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio and former Rep. Darrell Issa, are two of San Diego County’s most well-known firebrands.
What has intrigued political observers though is the messages the two have latched onto to attack each other. DeMaio and Issa have traded pointed barbs for months in TV ads, tweets, mailers, and forums — all about who would be the strongest and most ardent supporter of President Donald Trump if elected to Congress.
Trump “is the Republican Party,” said Carl Luna, professor of political science at San Diego Mesa College, so that tactic is expected in the race for California’s 50th Congressional District, which includes parts of East and inland North San Diego County and a southern portion of Riverside county. Currently there are 161,184 registered Republicans in the district compared to 115,581 registered Democrats.

San Diego is being inundated with commercials from both these assholes about how much they love Trump more than their opponent. They're both carpetbaggers to boot, with neither of them actually residing in the district.
