Could this Swalwell scandal derail the (D) momentum for the midterms?

Nancy and the rest of the Dems knew damn well what this guy was doing, despite their claims of knowing nothing.

At first it looked like their strategy in this was to simply reduce the California Dem field for governor to overtake the two Republicans. But this may turn out to be a runaway train with all of these women coming out with their tales of rape and assault.

Nobody wants more democrats in office. The democrats are the worst of the worst in the political realm….

No.

Dems have a broader plan. Those women, like ALL before them, (Trump, Kavanaugh, Swalwell, etc...) only emerge at the behest of The Machine.

Had Massie held a press conference for the victims?

No. The Swallwell scandal will actually save them in the California governor race. There were previously so many Democrats in the jungle primary that the two Republicans seemed likely to make the runoff. Kicking Swallwell out should coalesce enough support around a dem to ensure it’s not an all GOP runoff.

I don't think it will. People who vote (D) will still vote that way. People who have TDS or hate Trump or conservatives will still vote (D).

Wouldn’t you like to know who is in control of the Democratic Party? This was done pretty quickly, neatly and all tied up with a bow. It was not a decision reached by a bunch of DNC halfwits arguing in a meeting in a Holiday Inn conference room in Baltimore.

The left controls mass messaging. This will only be in the news cycle for a few days and will be forgotten by the normies soon.

The media won’t allow it.

We have to battle the left after giving them a 10 shot advantage.

Naw, the kind of horrendous behavior by Eric Swalwell is typical of these morally bankrupt male democrats. (hint: Bill Clinton and Joe Biden say - hold my beer).

IMO the only reason Adam Schiff made such a big thing about demanding Swalwell end his campaign for govenor had more to do with the DNC fear the electorate might be moving towards more traditional Christian values. Like he was simply trying to get in front of the crowd by portraying himself as this self-righteous virtuous man.

Yep, President Trump clashes with the Pope, the democrats participate in photo-ops with El Papa. Next thing you know......Adam Schiff got religion.

Truth being.........he's a despicable man.

Doubtful, the Dems are managing it and not letting anything drag out.

Compare/ Contrast with how the GOP has handled the Texas Senate race (Including Trump involvement).

As long as MAGA doesn't allow these bought-and-paid-for podcasters to split us apart, I think the GOP has a good chance to do well in the midterms. They've already managed to manipulate the lightweights like Sir Winston, but I think a strong majority will end up recognizing what the grifters like Tucker and Kelly are all about.

If I'm correct about that, then the biggest thing we have to worry about is TURNOUT (which will be a major concern).

Well of course! Everyone was gonna vote Democrat because of gas price, but now everyone is going to vote Republican because of a rapist. We’ll have to wait until next week for the next “oh my God” moment that will make everyone vote Democrat again. Maybe Trump will fart on air and it will cause everyone to melt and panic.

One woman he raped is filing rape charges against him to law enforcement. If he is arrested then yes, this scandal can very well kill their hopes of gaining momentum.
