(19,962 posts)2. Too soon,but if Ryan and Moulton can jump in, then why not ?
I wish he stayed and çoncentrated on Congress with Adam Schiff, but I guess you can run, raise campaign money and be out by next April, so there is sense to it.

(17,306 posts)4. Good guy
but he's jumping into a crowded pool and won't emerge the winner. Quite a few others are going to realize that too, but probably only when the money runs out.

(50,278 posts)5. I like him. Smart and attractive candidate. But can he take down Trump?
That's my only consideration. In normal times, I might be ready to get on board for either Mayor Pete or Swalwell, but this isn't normal times.

(43,182 posts)6. He won't get the nomination, IMHO, but I'd happily give him my vote.
Extremely impressed by him.
He's a longshot but I wouldn't mind jumping on his bandwagon early in case he ends up shocking us all.
Can we get a Swalwell button for the forum?
