Should Eric Swalwell drop out of the California gubernatorial race?

48. It's likely some of the allegations are true

It’s very likely he did send dick pics, and he probably cheated on his wife. All of which make him a terrible husband, and it’s embarrassing and it’s a waste of time. That alone puts him into Anthony Weiner territory. Not a good look by any means. That in itself is reason to end the campaign. It sucks the oxygen out of the room.

I’m skeptical of the timing. This could have been released when he first announced he was running. I’m not sure why it took until now, but if (and I stress if) the more serious allegations are true, I’m glad it happened now rather than after the primary. But I understand that sometimes victims don’t feel comfortable speaking out right away.

Keep in mind this is the first time in over fifteen years republicans have a shot of taking the seat, due to this completely idiotic and clusterfuck of a jungle primary. They’ve already got lucky enough to have so many democrats running (most without a shot) and splitting the vote, so it’s not completely out of hand to initially entertain the possibility of republican dirty tricks. But as time goes on, this looks worse and more possibly true.
