With baseball playoffs around the corner, pay attention to the team that’s winning now instead of saving it for later. Teams with momentum and desire are the ones who win playoff series after all. So take that to the next level in the battle for Congress in CA-45 between Rep. Michelle Steel and Jay Chen; he has the momentum and she doesn’t.
GOP Chair Ronna McDaniel, Mitt Romney’s nice, paid a surprise visit to Steel’s Buena Park campaign office yesterday and then did some canvassing n Cypress with Steel and Jessica Millan Patterson, the chair of the Republican Party of California.
So with all of the toss-up districts around the state and the nation, the GOP sends in it’s big guns for Steel? One wonders when Trump will hold a rally here for her.
Steel continues to lie about Chen’s record and what he stands for. Chen is hitting Steel where it hurts — via suburban women — on Steel’s anti-choice record.
Chen released a new TV ad in his campaign that calls out Steel for her positions against the fundamental right of women to choose what to do with their own bodies.
Steel co-led an amicus brief to the Supreme Court calling for dismantling Roe v. Wade and co-sponsored the Life At Conception Act, for a federal abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest.
“Michelle Steel knows that her politics are dangerous for everyday people,” said Chen. “National Republicans are targeting our fundamental rights and Congresswoman Steel will be a rubber stamp on a national abortion ban that would rip away Californians’ rights. Her views make her an outlier even in deep red Kansas, let alone California. Orange County residents deserve a representative who will protect their freedoms, not destroy them.”
McDaniel also held up a sign and took a photo with Scott Baugh; his ad campaign against Katie Porter makes it sound like she’s running for president. Most polls are calling that race a toss up with Porter favored (and the same polls suggest Steel will beat Chen. But FiveThirtyEight.com’s Nate Silver doesn’t see any forward motion for Republicans and momentum for Democrats.
But if Steel is so strong, why does she need the GOP’s big guns?
About that last line….Nate Silver wrote that BEFORE he saw the OJB TWEET flyer featuring Katie and Jay along with Vern and Donna’s “Close personal” friends Vern and Donna Nelson. When will people learn, Pete Hardin did…..the hard way.
