Swalwell bails...

Seeing some high-fives and sack dances in social media over the news that Swalwell dropped out of the Dem primaries yesterday. This is understandable, I guess, considering that my social circles are fairly gun-centric and Swalwell gave this parting note to reporters:
While Swalwell would not formally endorse any one Democrat on Monday, he told Burnett that his support will hinge on the candidates' work to combat gun violence. 
"I'm going to take some time, I'm going to be looking at who will elevate the issue of gun violence as their top issue, and to promise Americans that we don't have to live this way," he said.
So, yeah, when he'd basically tried to stake his position as The Anti-Gun Guy, there's gonna be some gloating when he chokes...

But, seriously, there was literally zero chance of this guy winding up on any potential Democratic ticket next November. The media was tepid about him and he had hardly any name recognition outside the circles of gun owners who accused him of threatening to nuke flyover country.


That tweet did make for chucklesome headlines today, though...
