(3,730 posts)I know the allegations are credible. But the primary ballots have been printed. The primary election is less than 2 months away. Swalwell was the clear frontrunner. The timimg of this allegation is perfect for maximum damage to CalDems.
What'll get Swalwell to bow out is if the cops invetigate and district attorney pursues charges. We're well within the satute of limitations, so there HAS to be an investigation. If there's no police invetigation or charges, than that means something is seriously wrong, one way or the other.
But, the CNN article seems conclusive to me. Damning, in fact. It proves that men are scum, no matter what party they're from.
I wrote a post earlier about the liklihood that we could end up with 2 repubs to chose from in Cali due to the ranked choice voting we have here now. This episode brings that disaster closer to reality. Though we're seen as pretty bright blue, there are a ton or repub voters here - enough of a supply to get R's into the governor's chair if voting Dems here are split even a tiny bit.
