Via Politico:
For most of Barack Obama’s presidency, Rep. Darrell Issa has relished his role as White House enemy No. 1, taunting the president as “corrupt” and even floating the idea of impeachment.
Now Issa says he would have signed on as an adviser to Hillary Clinton’s campaign — if only she’d asked.
“I would’ve said the same thing if Hillary Clinton’s people had called me the same day. Why wouldn’t you?” Issa said in a recent interview here when asked about his decision to join Donald Trump’s campaign as a national security adviser.
Though Obama and probably the entire Democratic Party would beg to differ, Issa insists he’s always been a bipartisan kind of guy: “There’s also been a partisan side and a nonpartisan side,” he told POLITICO over breakfast one morning recently. “I’ve never changed.”
What’s less in dispute is this: The eight-term lawmaker and former House Oversight chairman is in serious jeopardy of losing to a Democrat few people had even heard of a few months ago — in a leftward-drifting district that’s left the long-time incumbent and symbol of partisan rancor scrambling to adapt.
