Washington Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell announced Monday that he is running for president, telling"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert that he believes the United States is in"quicksand" where Americans feel they are"running in place and it is not adding up to anything."
Swalwell has been contemplating a run for months. The California Democrat has made several trips to early nominating states like Iowa and New Hampshire, telling reporters that he sees a space for a candidate like himself in the race and hinted earlier this month that he was"close to making a decision.""None of that is going to change until we get a leader who is willing to go big on the issues we take on, be bold in the solutions we offer and do good in the ways that we govern.
Swallow well
RE: RepSwalwell: His meanness factor is far too high for most to stomach. Personally, I've had enough hate for a lifetime and suggest he rethink his action and words. MAGA - Oh, it's happening ... without you ... without him. Trump2020
Yawn. Another fringe Dem that will be dropping out of the race, just a matter of time
What a joke!!!!!!!!!!
This won’t last!
I think dog catcher is more in line for him!!
HOW MANY Democrats Does this make now
It’s interesting to see so many Democrats running for President. They all strive for power, which is the reason why they can’t accomplish anything once they get elected. I have already made up my mind for 2020.
Nope
Eric for president ?Another Joker in the running. First thing he’s going to do is bleach his hair again to look like Trump!! This guy’s a real dud !!
Another candidate building a campaign chest full of cash.....and where does most of that $$$$ go....nice hotels, fine dining, clothes, cars, etc etc.....and yet here you and I sit and “who is the guy:lady?”
Lol, who?
The more the merrier !.
18. And not a single one of them will even come close. The second they got on that debate stage with Donnie, it’s over. They will be smashed just as HC was.
Forse forse è meglio casa propria troppi disagi è fregature !!!”?
President of what? The Ken doll club?
Go, democrats, go! Let's make it 100 for the presidency.
Stand innlibe with the other democratic losers
Another White Dude for the Democrats!
Another one bites the dust
MarcusEdelstein Please no more
Democratic field of presidential candidates for 2020 is like cable TV...so many channels, but nothing good to watch.
...who?
Sweet. There's more Democrats running for president than there are who watch brianstelter
THEY KEEP JUMPING IN reason THEY RAISE MILLIONS ON FUND RAISING get 2 keep left overs add 2 OWN INCOMES just look up ok OVER SITE lets them go LOOK LAST 3 NEW ELECTED DEMs use campaigne funds 4 OWN USE gee 1 even paid 4 her divorce with funds HOW THEY LEARN 2 SWINDLE SO FAST
hell THEY WILL EAT HIM UP no chance in hell he will win HE LIES MORE THEN HRC & SCHIFFT COMBINE spews more lies and hate WORST he lies knowing he is lying
Lol, the circus gets bigger
Zero percent chance. So why waste time and money. If he was really a good person he would use that money to help the homeless or less needy instead of throwing it in the trash on somthing that will never happen
Lmaoooooooo
Swalwell is nothing but a liar!!
Is he another leftist on the Democrat presidential dream bus?
The reason so many are running is to con voters into donating to the minority woman, socialist or gay man...then they'll turn over all that cash to the DNC's chosen one, Biden or Hillary who can not possibly raise the money to compete with realDonaldTrump on their own.
Ohhhhh. Who?
WTF!!! 😂😂😂
Here comes the nukes, start building a shelter.
Your best in government on President
I have a better chance of finding Bigfoot than this guy has of becoming president Swalwell Swalwell2020
The Kid from Kindergarten Cop is a grown up
Only 18? Seems more like 48 😂! What a disaster the dems have become.
How easy is for corrupt democrats to run as candidates; but they will be .defeat; America doesn’t want another corrupt dishonest traitor president ; we had past 8 years already ; that was enough
Omg it’s like the line at the DMV. Take a number.
😂
Waste of time.
Who?
Where are they all getting all this money from.?
my god..do they need 18 candidats to beat Trump?
The DNC needs to thin the crowd on people running for president. Instead of debates, I suggest they implement Thunderdome rules. Two candidates enter, one candidate leaves.
The Debate Stage
Can I be the 19th guy to run for president. I just want to get some of those federal campaign $$$$
Still waiting for CNN to cover the female candidates, outside of hit jobs on them. Seriously. When.... waiting...... we should just BoycottCNN until you actually start to cover them. I am so disgusted with you!
😳
This new on to hopon the DemWits loser train may be the most ridiculous. He is a complete joke!!
Heard good things about him from friends in Alabama. Let’s see if he lives up to their input.
I love the fact that all,intellectual beings anyway ,know trump has 0 chance of winning 2020!😂
Who?
Lol
Ok ok I'll run too. May as well. Ya twisted my arm here.
Good news for cnn. Another loser to quote on cnn
OMG. Why bother having an election in 2020. Why don't we just hand the election to him and save a lot of money, and a lot of people from suicide and alcoholism?
2020 Democratic Presidential field.
What a joke
And the Dems continue to ensure the US gets another 4 years of the Trump Autocracy. DNC better get their crap together. This is just showing the division within the party.
Great...another Clown joins the Liberal Circus!
Oh hell no! This man, in my opinion, is a blithering idiot. He's done nothing for California. Just what does he think can do for the America.
Another LOSER! I’m with Trump2020
Who?
Good. We’ve encouraged people to get involved and step up. They are. Honor that!
Assclown
Isn't Swallwell the idiot who threatened to use nuclear weapons on gun owners if they resisted having their guns unlawfully confiscated?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... Good luck fuck face
YOUR A JOKE.
RepSwalwell won’t ever get my vote, and other Democrats (socialist/communist)
0.00003482045% chance.
WT——where are the Punk —— Republicans ?
This has become ridiculous. Our country has become a joke when it comes to running for president... that started with the presidential race with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾for this country...
Not a chance of my vote
Lol, this is hilarious!! This guy is a d-bag.
Sure, any numbskull can run! Anything to get out of doing job he was elected to do. Sitting Senators should not be able to run for POTUS unless they resign from office first! They are stealing $money from citizens! maga2020
Eric Swalwell ..
ericswalwell is less of a “has-been” and more of a “won’t-be.”
Good lord, no more!!!! As a Democrat I hope we all vote for the NOMINEE this time. If not, we will end up with Trump again.
Oh God another! Too much!
Lmao.
(Fart Noise)
Democrats ain’t winning. They’re polluted from within. AOC, Ilhan, etc.
I can't wait til they all debate each other! One fool after the next!
The people of California and New York have voted Democrats in office for years. All you have to show for it is your Cities that once was the nicest places in the US are now dumps. Taxes you paid whent to the Politicians bad choices. Vote Republican
Clown alert!
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤔 💭 why would Swallowswell run for President
Now you have 18 more reasons to vote TRUMP 2020.
Got the leaked copy of the Swalwell strategy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dems - enough candidates already !!!! Too many of you and divided we will fall!!!
😂😂
Hilarious.
White male privilege ? And isnt he the Rep of a complete dumpster fire 🔥?
So 18 now
What a joke the Democratic party has become
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who?
Good, they are destroying themselves.
The Democratic presidential campaign is a full blown circus with The Bern as head clown
Ugh...
OMG! Dudley Dooright of the CMP has a better chance, and quite frankly, would have my vote over this imbecile. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease Cranialrectalinversion
The guy who threatened to nuke Americans if they didn’t give up their guns? This is gonna be rich! 😂
😂🤣. CNNisFakeNews
Is this a joke? What RepSwalwell has accomplished besides misleading the American people by lying/leaking to CNN?
A hahaha haha haha He won't top 1%.
If CoryBooker has no chance, Eric Swallowell is in the negative
...and they still won’t be Trump. Try again in 2024.
Never heard of him....ever.
NoChance2020
Animal farm.
What a shit show.
Never has there been a less likable candidate. Heck, Charles Manson would have been a better choice
Who?
The 18th idiot running for President
I would vote for him
Why don’t you get it you in denial person. Unless tRump is arrested for tReason there won’t be an election!! WAKE UP!’
Another Democrat, where's all the Republicans. Guess they have no BALLS to run against Trump.
Hysterical.
Hope so. He is a TDS exponent and would ensure a Reagan like trump victory in 2020. He could appoint AOC as his advisor to make it happen
Hmmm... intrigued finally! registerIndependent
This guy tweets he would nuke AMERICA. Now wants to be President.
And the clown car gets more crowded....
Swalwell for Pres?
Meanwhile 53 GOP senators are running *after* the president 🤷♂️
🙄👌🤣😂😂🤪
Who?! 🤦🏻♀️
Another repulsive Democratic running for president...!
What are you giving away...you got to come up with something BIG!! So far we got free education, free healthcare, infanticide, white people paying black people for slavery, wealth redistribution. I hope Americans are listening to these fanatical candidates for president. Scary
I like Eric. I'll hear him out and give him a shot. Every candidate deserves to be heard.
Plz dont nuke me RepSwalwell
Why?
Who?
Y E S !!!
PaulZeise 🤣🤣🤣
The clown show continues.
Surprised Pelosi isnt running.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😐 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol no, Eric.
Democratic Party is falling apart.!!
I’m running for President! I’m running for President!
It’s all about Pushing the Narrative At this point.. The nominee would eventually adopt policies from the smorgasbord of candidates. This is what what should have happend in 2016. Not bend over backwards for Hillary 😐
Still waiting for an interesting candidate. So far it seems we’re looking at four more years 🤮
Why the hell cant the democrats just get behind the best candidate to beat trump and stop making it hard for any Democrat to win!
Democrats 2 more to go to make it 2020
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is going to be hilarious!!!
OfficialJLD Are we living an episode of VeepHBO right now?
What a joke..
Moving forward with Trump 2020! Rep Swalwell moving backwards!
I was wondering when he was going to announce....
Who the hell works anymore in Washington. I mean you elect them, then during their term as a Congress person they run for President. So for 2 years they get paid for not doing their job. I call bullshit.
Bring it on! Donald Trump will make mince meat out of him too!! 😂😂😂. Can’t wait til the debates start. Get out the popcorn and the jujubees! It’s gonna be quite a show lol!!
LMAO! Seriously? RepSwalwell is a TOOL. He won’t make it very far because no one will take him seriously. He says he’s done a lot. A lot of what? Good luck with your aspirations Swalwell. This should be entertaining.
Having 18 candidates, and potentially more, doesn’t seem like a sound winning strategy for the Democrats
A gaggling of geeks
Good, another common sense, smart guy.
Lol Parkland, kids crying in classrooms, dads a cop. I went to college, math sucks🧐
I thought creepy clowns were no longer in vogue
Eric is a solid guy!
Eric who?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have lived in California for most of my life. I have no idea who this guy is.
Why?
lol why?
Haha goodluck
🤣🤮🤣🤮
Banish the Satan in White House once and for all, thanks Eric but you might need a wooden stake also.
The more the better. Trump is destroying the GOP to extinction. The Future, will be Progressive vs. Moderate Dems.
The Democrats have compiled quite the list of Goofballs.
The circular firing squad gets larger! I csn’t Wait for the debates to watch them try to out do one another with rediculous proposals suck as: eliminate fossil fuels, stop eating meat, eliminate air travel, pay people unwilling to work, reparations, free college! The list goes on
He still won't beat SenSanders or PeteButtigieg or AndrewYang or even KamalaHarris baby! Just cheer on the sidelines man! We don't want another repeat of the rigged 2016 election man!
Is this joke?
The Democratic Primary
Why?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha it can’t get any better - worst dem candidates in my lifetime since before Eisenhower was in - they are all looking for donations to fill their pockets and then gone foxnewspolitics CNNPolitics NPR NewsHour ABCPolitics CBSNews NBCPolitics ha ha ha ha
CNN AND SWALLOWS WELL
Lmao
Unexpected DLC for the running 😂
They’ll all eat each other - Bah ha ha. MAGA
libs be like eric swalwell!! a white person? a male? we hate white people and males, GO AWAY!!!!!
This is becoming a stampede of dems.
now THAT is hilarious lmao!!!!
Bawahaaaaaaa!!!!!
Getting ridiculously crowded.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Doesn't he have to pass a mental health check first? That guy is crazier than a bag of rats.
Zzzz
Another democratic loser. It’s going to be an easy win for the republicans. You have people running who can’t even fix their own states.
Great! Another Bud Head to run for President!!!
Never heard of her
Trump will feed him his lunch
Nothing against u eric.. can anyone run!! You may be great. How many dems are running now
Someone wants to pad his bank account with donations because there is a zero percent chance he'll even win one primary.
Finally. That's my guy.
Most of the people running are just buffoons. This guy is one of the few to literally make me angry when I listen to him speak.
since trump did it everybody saying I could do better than him.
Another fruit head.
is cnnisfakenews all in yet? Did you endorse him yet? Or morning announcement Bwahahahhahaha
Who?
PaulZeise LooooooooooooooL
This is absolutely hilarious. RepSwalwell is quite possibly the most unlikable politician in the entire country and he is one of the few people dumb enough to not realize it. The over/under for him has to be 1% if not lower.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ericswalwell joke
Swalwell becomes another better-than-DFT to enter the anyone-but-DFT race.
What a joke! 😂
variety is the spice of life... more the merrier ...
Plus il y a de candidats qui se présentent mieux se porte la démocratie
What a DISGUSTING JOKE! This guy has no chance in h£[[
Lol
This guy is a joke. I’ve seen him a few times on TuckerCarlson The things he says with a straight face is astonishing. EricSwalwell Democrat Democrats
Good luck Eric Swallows Well!
You know him as Candidate Swalwell, but I’ll always know him as Bahama Bob.
Well should be some interesting debates
He isnt brown enough to win the Nomination But he does have enough of the lady parts to win it
It gets more comical everyday.
Why?
Not a chance!
😂
Keep your lips zipped Bernie Bros. I don’t want to hear your nonsense. Swalwell is a knowledgeable man with a good heart.
Add one more to the 🎪 circus parade 🤡
Yes!!!
This is no longer a clown 🤡 car or bus 🚌 this is now a socialist yacht 🛥 filling up to sail Working America out to sea 🌊
PaulZeise
I was waiting. Good!
Bwahahaha
Wonderful !
He will never make it. Aside from the fact that he is an a$$ he is against guns. All my democratic friends aren't for gun control. He will find that out real soon. He needs to read the Constitution.
Oh good god!
Why do they allow Bernie Sanders run as a Democrat?
Why?
LOL!
When are we going to demand that these people give up their seats when they run? he won't be doing a damn thing for his constituents for the next year and a half
Lol...swallows-well doesn't have a chance... it'll be fun to watch though
So am I!!! Vote for disaster in 2020 or vote for me!
This guy is a talking head
Lol lol lol
The Dems must have a never ending supply of funky koolaid. Another fake scam artist is always welcome.
Democrats are making this way to easy for Trump. With all his Russia lies he can never win the electoral college
Way to split the vote and let realDonaldTrump right back in the White House in 2020!
I can't wait for the debates. This is going to be the comedy event of the century.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Not a Snowball’s chance in Hell!!!
You gave all your airtime to Trump during the election. Now do it for Eric! Just give him airtime! He will win!
I mean who has stepped up yet?Biden ain't even entered and leads.Probably piss people off but it ain't gonna be sanders,who is 2nd.I mean someone gotta step up or more will come in.
Hey, they got enough to put on a two team baseball game, farout. Its a double no hitter.
Who?
Water that dem vote down even more
Why is he even trying to get in with the new crazy Democratic Party? Someone tell him he is a white man and that is not what they are looking for.
Thank you but no thank you.
Idiot
PaulZeise Freak show! He belongs on Leave it to Beaver
Oh for Christ’s sake, Eric. I thought you had more sense than that.
PaulZeise Lol
Hide your guns....
Who?
More clowns in the circus. It’s getting better for Trump all the time.
Collusion?
Hey...Haley Joel Swalwell? Is it true you whispered to Colbert on that clown show: 'I see Russian People.'
This is getting rediculous
Very good man
Good combination Fake like CNN. Are you still dreaming of Collusion? You will go down. Trump will win
I just want him to open his shirt so I can see this.
I’m next joining the 2020
x0BlueTiger0x He has been outspoken but not irresponsible. Have no idea on what his bigger vision is but I am interested in fing out.
What a joke.
No chance
Great photo! Shows he’s super serious. Lol
MAGA TRUMPWILL TRUMP2020
Lmao
🤣
Really believe most just want face time on TV. No way they can reasonable believe they have a chance.
ChaskelBennett
Keep trying Dems. Nobody is going to win against MAGA
The ONLY reason he's running is to get mics in his face so he can continue attacks on President Trump, he's embarrassed himself so badly over the last 2 years few will take him seriously.
I will contribute to everyone of those dam fools -
Hahaha.
CNN...this is not Breaking News.
I like him
What a joke.
Who?
Why?
Good Schiff can be his running mate
Mother of God I like him but this is getting ridiculous. White men not needed.
😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
PaulZeise 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is too much now
Collusion collusion.
😂😂😂. Is he going to nuke us if he doesn’t win?
..he’s Macy’s material.
President of his fraternity alumni association?
Eric Swalwell is running! He's been a TrumpRussia pitbull. I'll vote for him if it means we get to see every single word of the Mueller Report. . . Swalwell2020 hardball inners Maddow ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport RepSwalwell
Can we break 20?
PaulZeise Laughable
we have enough to pick from already but thanks for the sentiment
No chance pal. Trump 2020 Yeah Baby
I like RepSwalwell, but he got no shot at winning the democratic nomination, unless he is trying to get a running mate bid.
18 Just put everything behind one horse who actually stands a chance of winning otherwise they’ll all fall at the first fence. American politics is so self-defeatist.
Snoozefest
Swalwell has one brain cell bouncing around his skull, which puts him somewhere in the middle of the pack of insane freak show democrat candidates when measured by IQ.
errrrurrrrrghhhhhhhhh .. ok fair enough, realDonaldTrump they done handed 2020 to you on a damn platter, bon apetite ^^
Lol.
Thanks... but, no.
Love you RepSwalwell but WHY would you jump into the race? You’re young enough to wait and we NEED you in Congress.
I like the guy but I don’t feel he is ready for prime time.
LOL What’s he going to say we will get for “free”?
How many Democrats does it take to beat Trump?
Lol lol lol
mickey mouse also announced today
WHO IS HE ? 😎🇺🇸
Trump 2020
Love Swalls, but he needs to stay in the House Judiciary Committee, we NEED him there.
douche
Hahaha you lost

Get your popcorn ready!
Game show host
