Unlike many of the other Democratic Congressional Representatives who have appeared on MSNBC to comment on Trump and the Mueller probe and Congressional oversight efforts, Swalwell has always seemed to me to be auditioning for higher office, using it as an opportunity for personal advancement. I haven't felt that way about Ted Lieu, or Jackie Spier, or Adam Schiff for example. I've felt this way for a long time about him. Of course I know he is part of our team fighting the good fight against Trump. I have no dispute with him on issues that I know of yet. Just something about him that has been off putting to me.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
