Saying Good-Bye to America’s Slimiest Politician

By David McCalmont

Congressman Eric Swalwell is one of the most despicable human beings in politics anywhere in any party. He is a malicious, infectious rodent whose insidious stench has assaulted my nostrils since before the astonishingly egregious intelligence scandal involving Fang Fang, who was, ahem, allegedly spying for the Chinese Communist Party. The guy is a sexual predator and even Republicans should be delighted to see him go, even if the odds of him being replaced by another mindless, creepy Democrat, are 97.3%.

Anybody with a sensitive schnoz for moral debauchery has known the sleazy side of Eric Swalwell for years.

Which raises the question enquiring minds want to know but most likely already sense the answer...

...Why now? Why is a conspiracy of like-minded odious partisans in the media and Democrat circles (same revolving-door cesspool) calling for the hanging of a hitman who never found a lie disgusting enough not to use against the POTUS?

Why is there a sudden and unified cascade of demonization against Swalwell arising from purely political sources within the domestic communist political project, but not from the Hollywood-dominated #MeToo movement?

Could it have something to do with the odd, quirky political situation in the polls two months out from the jungle primary for California governor - where two likeable, sensible guys on the ballot running as Republicans are outdueling any one batter on the baseball-sized team of Democrats crowding each other for attention?

This amounts to a delicious predicament to which Republicans have fallen ass-backwards into. The jungle primary was not an idea that swelled up from the loins of the electorate. It’s the baby delivered solely by those bipartisan elitists and idealists who sensed that closed primaries produced candidates for the general election who represented the “ideological extreme” of both parties. The cause for alarm should that for sake of argument be true never tipped my sensitive inner scales of justice.

California’s Jungle Primary Could Put Republicans in Power

The ideological chasm between the two major parties has grown wider and deeper while according to popular wisdom the more moderate voters have inclined to register as non-partisan or independent. A closed primary shuts out about 30% of California’s voters from registering a “moderating” input on the selection of candidates offered in the November general election, leaving it up to party “extremists” to choose their party’s standard bearers in a low-turnout primary.

In the back of the minds of Democrats, however, is the secret wish and hope that in a 62-38 state (Democrats to Republicans), they (Democrats) would oftentimes come up one-two in a jungle primary, precluding the expensive necessity of tackling a Republican or its political options in the Fall election. (It would become an in-house brawl between socialists as opposed to out-right communists). Sacramento already has a veto-proof state legislature. Achieving the status of two-Democrats-only running for governor in November seals the deal for them politically: Republicans would have no impact whatsoever on statewide issues, as is the case now.

If the unthinkable occurred and two Republicans only ran against each other for governor, assuring a Republican victory, it would be a major public relations embarrassment and disaster for Democrats in a Blue state. Unless Republicans used this rosy opportunity to dismantle the Democrats’ lock on the state Senate and Assembly – at least removing the ignominy of its power to override a Republican governor’s veto by a straight party-line vote – we would have another era of Arnold Schwarzenegger dead-in-the-water government. The jury’s out if that’s a good long-term optic for the California Republican Party.
