California Rep. Swalwell joins Democratic presidential race
Washington Post ^ | April 8, 2019 | Associated Press

Posted on 04/08/2019 4:45:58 PM PDT by EdnaMode

California Rep. Eric Swalwell is officially in the running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Swalwell made the announcement during a taping Monday of CBS’ ”The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

The congressman says, “I see a country in quicksand, unable to solve threats from abroad, unable to make life better for people here at home.”

He says, “None of that is going to change until we get a leader who is willing to go big on the issues we take on, be bold in the solutions we offer and do good in the way that we govern.”

He says: “I’m ready to solve these problems. I’m running for president of the United States.”

How will they lose the house? They’ll just keep counting votes like last time.

I think you all are missing the point. This is NOT about the money, though it may be for some.

IT IS ALL ABOUT CALIFORNIA. They moved the CA Primary to early March. Whoever wins it will have a nearly insurmountable early lead, with 416 pledged, and 495 Super-Delegates, that get to vote on the 2nd and later rounds.

With 20+ candidates on the ballot, the winner could have as little as 8-10% of the votes cast.

The Fraud in the Cali Dem Primary is going to be EPIC, because it will only take a small percentage to turn defeat into Victory.

An army of lightweights. The Democrat Party has been exposed as a criminal organization. Their ‘leaders’ are nothing more than mid level players who are chosen by the string pullers in the background. Now that we have a President who actually wields the power granted to him by his office, the contrast is startling. It’s actually embarrassing to watch these candidates - all completely controlled by their handlers and donors, act as if they’re independent actors.

This guy has the world’s second most punchable face after Jeff Flake.

Hmmmmm. What about Davey Hogg? Juicee Smollett? Ilhan Omar?

It’s like, nobody on the democratic party wants to be left out of the presidential race. It’s gonna be easier to count those NOT running than those that are.

What about Maduro? When is he gonna jump into the race?

I think the Democrats are fishing/phishing for what will win in November. I don’t think they have a clue as to what to campaign on. Whoever wins the nomination will have the message the party will accept if they believe that message is the winning message.

The Democrats are desperate. They haven’t a clue how to beat Trump. They are throwing out all kinds of bait trying to at least get a bite. The party knows Socialism won’t work this election cycle. They know they’ve blown their cover on the border, and they know ACA is dead, and they know Pres. DJT has them beat on the border.

I believe the Democrats don’t have a clue, and are looking towards 2024 for someone they might have a better chance of beating in the polls.

I think Swalwell is just angling for an HBO show in the future.

When’s the first debate? I have never watched a rat debate but won’t miss these. I’m assuming they’ll arrive on stage driving a rather large clown car.

Rumors are: The Rat candidates will arrive in a Short Bus driven by AOC!

Trump wins, he will bring a GOP House but reapportionment/ redistricting makes 2022 a toss up.

Well, Davey Hogg is more deserving of this treatment.

At least this MORON, who I believe represents that LGBTQ hotbed of WEST HOLLYWOOD, had the good sense to change the family name from SWALLOWELL!
