Member of the House of Representatives Dan Rhrabicher (R-Calif.)Bill Clark/Ap
Member of the House of Representatives of Dan Rrabicher (R-Calif.) Won his first elections to the House of Representatives in 1988 with 64 percent Voting. Since then, it has been re -elected 13 times. And although he almost extinguished his last applicant 17 percentage pointsSome democrats now think that this could be the last term for the conservative of South California Politician Duplicated “Favorite Congressman Putin.“
Protesters, sometimes numbering In hundredsTo assemble the Roopaher Outdoors every Tuesday at 13:00 “He was our congressman for a long time”, complains Diana Carey, vice -chairman of the Democratic Party of the Okhinj County. “But since the district was mainly a Republican, I believe that it was on a cruise -control.” Thanks to the change in demography in the Orynj County and recently dismissed by liberal voters, Carey does not think that the place of Rorabacher is more safe.
Recently, Rorabacher was covered in a scandal about a possible conspiracy between the campaign of President Donald Trump and Russia. Like Trump, Rrabacher, who claims to have lost a drunken match with his hand with Vladimir Putin in the 1990s, believes that the Russian government is unjustly demonized. (In the 1980s, Roolacher was a convinced anti-communist who I was hanging out with an anti -Soviet Mujahidean in Afghanistan.) He has shrugged Applications on Moscow’s intervention in the 2016 presidential election, indicating that the United States is guilty of similar actions. In May New York Times It was reported that in 2012, the FBI warned ROBACHER that Russian spies were trying to get it. Two days earlier, Washington Post The record has been reported since June 2016, in which the leader of the majority in the ward Kevin McCarthy said: “I think that two people are paid by Putin: ROODYER and Trump.” (McCarthy He assured Roolacher The comments were meant as a joke.)
But of all the issues when Roolacher and Trump are aligned, Russia can be of the least urgent concern for voters who are rafting against him. Until now, the ROODYACHER has voted in accordance with Trump's positions more than 93 percent of cases, according to Fivethirtyeightincluding Voting for From the bill on the health care of the Republican Party, which will effectively put the end of Obamacare. Rrabacher greatly pushed the bill, warning his colleagues of the Republican Party, which allowed the first major legislative efforts to die, and the presidential impetus will be resigned. “If it falls” He said In March: “We are going to steril our President Trump. You do not cut the balls from your bull and do not expect that he is going to get out and work. ” According to Carey, healthcare is a hot problem in the 48th district. “I had conversations with people who are absolutely aside, scared that they would lose the coating.”
While Rrabacher won his last race in almost the landshore, his area went to Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. She won with a small margin, but this was enough for the Committee on the Democratic Congress campaign (DCC) to mark the area as The main goal Turn over in 2018. If democrats hope better Justin WallinThe Okhinj County Voter, who runs a research firm. “I don’t think that Dana took the position of a supporter of the fire-euled person for any political person, with the exception of Ronald Reagan,” says Wallin, referring to Rurabacher Early days Work in the White House Reagan. “He tends to quite naturally with this area in its prospects, his person and his political views. Its area considers it as independent, and when it is given a position on something, which seems outside the main stream, which can actually reinforce its favorable attitude. ”
Two democrats announced proposals to escape against Roadraher. One of them is the newcomer of candidate Harley Ruda, a businessman and a lawyer who gave $ 9,200 to candidates for Congress -Republican And nothing for the Democrats from 1993 to 2007. Another Boyd RobertsReal estate broker Laguna Beach, which has I vowed to work to Impich Trump and who finished The last among five Candidates running for a place in the school council in Hemet, California, in 2012. Both attack ROBEHER over his sympathetic position to Russia. “The area will vote [Rohrabacher] Outside, because I think there is something with Russia. I think I can raise money from this, ”Roberts said Los Angeles TimesField in Online -explorationThe Ruda calls Rrabacher “one of the most rooted members of the Washington’s establishment” and swears to become “tough in Russia” if he is elected.
“They both seemed to wave the flag of the Russian thing, and I just don’t think it will receive them through the line,” says Vallin. Carey refused to comment on any candidate, although she says that the third applicant will announce a sentence this summer. Meanwhile, DCC has not yet refused to support. “With the exception of something dramatic that is happening, I would say that it is much more safe than several other areas in the area,” says Vallin.
Nevertheless, Carey believes that until the Democrats continue to organize with the same intensity that they have shown so far, they can turn the blue area. “We have many people who said that they never paid attention, many people without participation who are really concerned about democracy,” she says. When he was asked if people continue in the district, she replies: “Until now, I think that energy remains. I say to people: “This is not a sprint, this is a marathon.” But I think that while Trump continues to write on Twitter, we will have interest! “
