Carl DeMaio? The guy who allegedly masterbated in front of a staffer?

the party’s concerns that Hunter’s baggage makes his seat vulnerable.

In an even marginally moral party Hunter’s baggage would be wholly unacceptable. But once again, it shows itself to be the Guardians Of Plutocrats.

So how soon before Hunter decides to spend more time with [what’s left of] his family?

The over/under is 30 days.

They’ll both be disgraced and in jail before the general.

That would be him

De Maio is at least as big an asshole as Hunter.

But it is only a matter of time. That district is the only one in San Diego County held by a Republican.

I lived in that district for most of my life. Amazing the changes that have happened over the years.

Hunter has been charged with campaign finance violations

What better reason for him to run another campaign?

It will be hard to get a Democrat in that seat. It’s a very red district. I predict that Issa takes that seat and loser DeMaio loses again.
