I agree with Rep. Eric Swalwell...

[kentuck]

...the most important issue for all of America is to preserve our right to vote. I agree with that.

We are in a battle for our democracy and if we lose our right to vote, we will have lost our democracy. We must protect the right to vote, and to have the votes counted honestly, in order to maintain our democracy, at all costs.

I was impressed with Rep. Swalwell's comments on CNN News show with Ana ?? He understands the seriousness of protecting our country from foreign attacks. He understands the value of our Constitution.

Sometimes I think the Democratic Party might be better off to run some lesser-known like Eric Swalwell than a better-known candidate like a Joe Biden or a Bernie Sanders. Just my opinion.

1. I think Swalwell would be great on the ticket. nt

5. I think he's great, but --

a little young???

[MoonRiver]

6. He's 37, which is young, but not necessarily too young.

Better younger than older at this point in time. Chumpy would have a very hard time keeping up with him, physically and intellectually.

9. Well, as someone you'd consider OLD,

I'm not too fond of your agism.

12. Look, you are making a fundamental mistake.

Unless our candidate sells out and literally lives on the campaign trail, there is no guarantee that Trump won't spend more time there. Trump love and need the adulation of a crowd, that and what would be at stake for him would likely lead him to fall dead rather than not campaign, our nominee must match that and go everywhere, not just big cities.

15. Intellectually won't matter to the GOP, but otherwise I agree.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Whenever Pelosi steps down, this guy should step up into leadership.

3. K&R

I think we will be introduced to some people without serious national exposure when the primaries roll around.

[greymattermom]

4. He's very well spoken, and...

attractive. That could matter and it can't hurt.

[State the Obvious]

7. I am liking Eric Swalwell more and more each day.

He is clear-thinking and focused....not afraid to speak up. Definitely has a future in the Democratic Party!

Also like Adam Schiff and Ted Lieu (my rep., although ineligible to run for Pres.) for the same reasons.

Eric Swalwell said, " Trump lies. And lying is a sign of WEAKNESS!"

[OMGWTF]

14. I believe they're all former prosecutors.

[Nevermypresident]

8. Schiff and Swalwell

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Like them individually, but together they are geographically undesirable.

While not impossible, it's highly unlikely they'd be run together. The "other 49" would be complaining that the power was too influenced by California, and that the 49's needs are unrepresented.

Schiff 2020, with a more seasoned Swalwell as P or VP nominee in 2028? That would work.

10. K & R

[lillypaddle]

11. I'd bet my last dollar

that Swalwell will run, and I'd vote for him in a minute. Adam Schiff as well.

[Blue_true]

13. He seems to be thoughtful.

My guess is he would defer to Harris or Schiff. At 37, he has time to spare.

[ananda]

16. Many of us lost the right to vote in 2000.

And more and more have lost it every election after that.

What's important is that we stop the purging, the fraud,
and the hacking..

NOW !!!!!!!!

[Grasswire2]

18. Senator Jeff Merkley is a fine man..

...and looking like a contender. He is the one who opened up the story of the immigration detentions, going to the TX facility and getting turned away and getting the press involved.

He's polar opposite of Trump. Quiet-spoken, solid, progressive.
