What's going on in Nunes' district in Ca?

[triron]

Why do they vote for this traitor?

[bearsfootball516]

1. It's a very red district.

[JI7]

2. it's a right wing district that voted for Trump also

[NewJeffCT]

25. yes, it is

As I mentioned below, Nunes has won his last 2 elections by 35 and 34 points. Even with some of these 20 point swings we're seeing in other districts (Missouri-17), that would still be a 10-15 point win for Nunes.

3. Nunes 56%, Janz (D) 34% as of 8:12 PM PT

He'll face a Democrat (Janz) in the General, but Janz has a real uphill climb to defeat him in November.

4. Right now he's ahead:

56.1% Devin Nunes* GOP 16,167

34% Andrew Janz Dem 9,813

5.2% Bobby Bliatout Dem 1,500

[onecaliberal]

5. It's REALLY RED. The stupid is strong here.

We at least got Janz in the race.

[NewJeffCT]

24. Yes - Nunes won by 35 points in 2016

67-32 over Louie Campos, and by 34 points over Campos in 2014. Being a Trump Toady seems like it will play will in this district.

6. Because they watch Fux Ruse!

I saw Janz go around one of the towns in his district and the people wouldn't even speak to him or the MSNBC reporter and actually said to the camera, "You're fake news". The few people who would talk acted like they were going to a dentist appointment...they looked thrilled. Most of them cared about two things, immigrants and water for their farms. They thought Russia was a made up liberal story. I wonder how they will feel when the tariffs hurt their farms...water will not be a big issue any longer.

[PearliePoo2]

18. That's sickening beyond words. Morons.

I'm sending Janz more money tomorrow!

[grantcart]

19. That may be but Nunes is only getting 1% contributions from his district, 99% is from outside

Even if we don't take it we are draining money from other seats.

[RockRaven]

7. Nunes could get indicted for treason

and these m*therf*ckers would vote for him because he's a Republican. Full-stop.

[Codeine]

23. He may or may not be indicted,

but it won’t be for treason. Even the Rosenbergs weren’t charged with treason.

[Hekate]

8. My husband is reporting that Dems have split their votes. IF we had fielded only one candidate...

...we might have stood a chance of having a Dem against Nunes in November, but as it is, there is a very very slim margin between Repub #2 and Dem #1. That means that thanks to the "jungle primary" the November ballot may end up with Nunes and Repub #2 on the ballot.


Edited to add: hubby is watching the returns, while I am in another room. California Peggy is probably your better source than I.

[Blue_true]

9. Look like Janz will pull through to November, he seems to be in a good spot. nt

[bearsfootball516]

10. Not quite sure where he's getting that information.

Nunes and Democrat Andrew Janz are running away with it right now, according to New York Times.

[Caliman73]

11. I think your husband is watching the wrong result.

There is no Republican #2 in the 22nd district. Nunes is the incumbent running without a challenger from the Republican party. Right now with 10% of the precincts voting Nunes 56% is going to be on the ballot, but Janz will be as well at 34%. The nearest challenger to the two is another Democrat at 5%.

[Exotica]

16. Nunes 56%, Janz (D) 34% as of 8:12 PM PT

Janz is guaranteed 2nd, your husband is off in his prediction.

Cheers

[Hekate]

17. Cheers. A couple of hours can make a big difference. Thanks, all.

[wasupaloopa]

12. It's the home of freeperville

[Demsrule86]

13. He will have a Dem Challenger...good news for us.

Andrew Janze... who got 31% to 58% against nunes...we have a shot at that seat.

[Brother Buzz]

14. It's gonna be Nunes and Janz in the November General Election

Andrew Janz will tick up one point in the polls every time that nimrod, Nunes, opens his mouth. Here's hopping reporters start shoving microphones into Nunes face 24/7.

[fallout87]

15. Really?

Because rupugs are going to go against nunes? They embrace his shenanigans. Let's not be naive here. nunes is keeping this seat.

[Achilleaze]

20. Here's the seat republican traitor-enabler Nunes is going to get

Obstruction of justice sucks and when done to enable treachery and traitory it is fully freaking anti-American

[Takket]

22. Best hope is Nunes is charged with treason about two weeks before election

[Vinca]

21. At this point in California it's just getting the Dem into the general election.

By November Nunes could be indicted.
