I am not jumping on the rape allegation. She cheated on her BF and then made this claim. Too many time these turn out to be false allegations.

That does not absolve him from being a pest, creep, or democrat hypocrite.

Swalwell is a misogynist pig. When are the DemonRAT boys going to sig Mazie Horino on him like they did to all of President Trump’s cabinet nominees? The Jap accused them of all of being Joe Biden like rapists and child molesters. If I was one of those guys and Mazie tried that Japanese crap on me. I’d sue her ying yang for every penny she’s got. Stupid old goat.

Interesting it’s just now that these women are coming out when he wants to run for governor - where were they before and what/who decided to bring them forward at this time. Just asking for a friend.

“One staffer has also claimed she woke up naked next to him in a hotel room in 2019 after a heavy night of drinking and didn’t remember what happened but felt physically like they’d had sex.” Eric has a way with the ladies.

This is from my AI research conversation the other day. This was one of my observations made to the AI.


My take.

It was Harris against Loretta Sanchez for Senator, and Harris had the statewide recognition from being Attorney General that Sanchez couldn't overcome. It's possible that everyone has that problem in the governor's race in that nobody currently holds statewide office giving them statewide recognition.

My take:

Steyer: he will be seen as a fringe billionaire. A Pritzker or a Trump, but not a George Soros billionaire. More like a Romney billionaire than anything else. I don't think he's going to rise too much higher.

Porter: She's embracing the Democrat left-wing politics. She recently tried to turn her expletive rants into a campaign device piggybacking on the recent Democrat trend of making "viral" videos of them cursing out Trump. She's the one that the party will flock to because her floor is the California voter who votes for anything with a (D) next to their name.

Bianco: Unknown to me. If he was a Riverside sheriff for 30 years, I never heard of him and I lived in Swalwell's district for 30 years before leaving California 10 years ago. His name never reached my ears in the decades that I lived in the East Bay. I would assume the same to be true of other Republican voters.

Hilton: He has the broadest appeal to Republicans in California because of his Fox News exposure. He's also attracting the independents who are tired of the Newsom/Bass/Pelosi/Harris/Feinstein/Boxer/Schiff legacy that Californians have been stuck with. I'm thinking that they will see Hilton as a viable alternative agent for change, moreso than Bianco.

That's why I'm not as wedded to the notion that Hilton and Bianco need each other to be tied in order to elevate both. I think Porter has a real chance of passing them with Swalwell's dedicated base and Steyer's position as a ceiling due to voter apathy.

I think the bandwagon effect is real, and that everyone loves a winner and wants to be on the side of the winner. I think if Porter surges past Bianco, and even passes Hilton, then Bianco must drop out and support Hilton to send a message to independents that voting for Hilton is not a wasted vote. If both Hilton and Bianco are splitting the vote, the independents will stay home -- they need the bandwagon to give them confidence to leave the Democrats.

I think that too many times, the Republicans let their ego and pride blind them to the realpolitik of the situation. I'm starting to see Bianco as California's version of Wesley Hunt from Texas. Hunt may have had a principled reason for running, but he had no real shot of winning the Senate primary - yet he resisted calls to drop out. If Hunt had dropped out, Paxton would have beaten Cornyn and we wouldn't be going into a runoff.

Bianco is in the same position. I'm sure he feels confident that he has a shot at winning, but that's usually what happens when his advisors and consultants urge their candidate stay in the race. They appeal to his ego, that he's great, that he's the best candidate for the state, all while hoping to keep the campaign gig that pays well going for as long as possible.

But it still comes down to Bianco not having the statewide presence that he will need to break out, and Hilton has it. And Hilton has "it" too.

I think Hilton will draw the independents that Bianco can't, and between Hilton's base, Bianco's base, and the independents they can convince to join, Hilton will beat Porter in the end.

Besides, Porter is just not that attractive a candidate, and some people will be turned off to her by simply saying that they can't stand having to listen to her for four years. It's crude, but she's crude, too, and that will turn off voters.

-PJ

I was reading another article about this, and people were commenting that he was in a hotel. Oops.

The Dems definitely calculated it was time to throw him under the bus because they have known for a long time that he is a scoundrel. They always circle the wagon for whatever the crime, unless they have a bigger picture reason to do otherwise. They made the calculations, and was time for Swalwell to go bye bye.
