    Good to know there's a part of America's Heartland that's full-on Nazi. May their corn crop wither forever.

    Nunes has 57 percent of the vote in CA-22 with 11 percent in, per Politico.
    Rohrbacher-Rouda a tossup, as is Denham-Harder in CA-10.

    I must have missed the part where Richard Nixon scurried over to Congress to answer subpoenas. It's called executive privilege. Trump will throw underlings under the bus but can someone tell me the last time any U.S President testified in front of a congressional committee?

    Eight million vote edge in Senate races and lose three seats. What a joke

    He doesn't have to testify. He has to turn over subpoenaed documents or fight it in court. A Congressional inquiry is not a criminal matter, so he doesn't have to appear. But he can't just say his administration is beyond Congress's reach. And certainly not beyond Bob Mueller's reach.

    I also missed the part where Nixon had family members serving in West Wing positions and as campaign surrogates. Those subpoenas won't come for Trump himself, but they can hit close enough to where he will feel the shrapnel.

    Fair point. Don Jr. already testified before a Congressional committee, where let's just say he may have gotten some facts mixed up.

    American voters never have and never will give a rat's ass about corruption. They're the kind of cynics ("They're all crooks") who make the best suckers.
