2 Why are all these staffers dissing Eric. There cannot be a single staffer that didn’t know what he was before they agreed to work for him.

3 ^Because they've hoped to hitch a ride to the top with him. Now, that hope is gone.

5 Welcome to Byzantine politics. The Socialist party was in a panic. It appears their rigged 'preference' primary system designed to leave CA voters with the choice of only two members of their party is polling now with two Trunks in the lead. They needed someone in their party to drop out to up their numbers. Swalwell got the short straw. Notice they're not removing him from his house seat.

I am sure the election only being a few weeks out has nothing to do with it.

1 and 1 to go.

BTW: I wonder how many of those 50+ /- staffers will suddenly win the lottery?

11 Not a Swalwell fan AT ALL, but, come on, why now? The Dems are playing an old dirty game as they have someone in mind for guvnah.

14 In fact, isn't there some nasty bitch who is running? Without looking it up, I seem to remember some nasty dame getting interviewed, and she was quite the jerk.

But, really, who cares? It's California. Let that place rot AND fall into the ocean.

15 It’s kamalatime. Sure she would have to be a write in but that would be an alternative to Krazy eye Steyer, nasty Katie porter and the rest is

18 Porter and Steyer are both full on batshit crazy. Villaraigosa, maybe not as crazy as they are, is languishing at the back of the pack. But watch for Matt Mahan, current mayor of San Jose. I heard him being interviewed on KFI last week and he sounded fairly reasonable...for a Democrat. It's fun to watch Swalwell having trouble but don't get cocky, kids. This is still a horse race.

19 Young woman was expecting a big payday. with allegations of sexual harassment. When Swallwell didn't pony up, it became allegations of rape.
