No Way To Swallow This.

According to the latest reports, congressman Eric Swalwell is about to jump into the Democrat presidential race.  It's strange, with candidates like senators Warren and Gillibrand, I didn't think the Democrats could sink any lower, but then they do.  Swalwell is a fixture on MSNBC and CNN.  He always comes on to make some outrageous and normally false accusation against President Trump.  He gets put on TV, however, because he is a member of a House committee conducting investigations into the administration.  He's like a second rate imitation of Adam Schiff, but even more dishonest.  That's about all he has going for him.  He has no accomplishments in Congress, no accomplishments in private life, indeed no positive record of any sort.

Why in the world is he running?  Maybe he hopes he can catch on in Iowa among the Trump haters in the Democrat electorate.  With the enormous field, though, it seems impossible for him to get the 15% of the vote needed to win delegates to the convention.  The same is true in New Hampshire.  That means that he will have been shut out after the first two contests.  That is a recipe for disaster for him.  He will have just embarrassed himself.  I guess he doesn't care.  And, as the lottery commercials say, "Hey, you never know."  Maybe Swalwell will get enough votes to win delegates.  Maybe aliens from Mars will land in Iowa on election day too.
