Politico's White wrote that imperiled GOP lawmakers are "fighting each other for scraps" after an election day blow which left them "demoralized," feeling "massacred" and see the results as an "obliteration."

"The infighting began almost immediately. Less than 24 hours after Proposition 50 passed, Rep. Ken Calvert announced he'd run for one of the few remaining red seats, after his own Southern California district was redrawn to favor Democrats. He was followed quickly by Rep. Young Kim, who announced a $3.5 million ad buy that would begin in April of next year " an unusually long runway that looked like an effort to dominate the airwaves and drive up ad rates before Calvert could," the report states.

Longtime California Rep. Darrell Issa (R) has even toyed with moving to Texas to run for a seat there before backing off.

Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa, stated, "I was really hoping there'd be some type of agreement worked out that we wouldn't have Republicans pitted against Republicans. That's counterproductive and all it does is waste resources."
