What is worse is this is a prime example as Democrats quickly eat their own.

Look... I like what I've seen of Swallwell but I don't see him on his off time. SOMEBODY had to be aware he was LIVING at a gregarious BILLIONAIRE'S place from which he made his announcement. That billionaire is looking out for money ALREADY SPENT with the level of concern that WE voters & party members should be holding our office holders and standard bearers accountable to a crucial and well considered agenda!
