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.

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.

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.

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?
