"On a television show befitting his station — a place fit for comedy, not competence — Eric Swalwell kicked off his run for governor of California on Jimmy Kimmel's show, where even the lighting seemed as though it was designed to soften a punchline."

. . . "Fang Fang Never Left the Room
"Swalwell's past relationship with Christine Fang, alias Fang Fang, continues to dog him into every new chapter.
"Although no charges ever stuck, the imagery remains: A member of Congress linked to a woman accused of being a Chinese intelligence asset now seeks control of the largest state economy in America.
"California is always on guard from direct threats from foreign influence aimed at Silicon Valley and defense contractors. A gubernatorial candidate can't afford associations with judgment and vulnerabilities. Fang Fang’s Former Fool acts differently than other candidates for any political office, using the confidence of someone who could trip over a wireless signal." . . .
. . . "If you're a resident of California, can you afford to gamble on a man whose career highlights include a Chinese spy scandal, the "pffttt!" heard around the world, and a streak of political predictions that aged as poorly as milk in the Mojave?
"A governor-elect, especially in a state circling in the water, needs steadiness, humility, and earned authority. Of the three characteristics, Swalwell delivers exactly none of the above.
"California deserves better candidates than the Human Error Message, a man still trying to outrun a breeze."
"Over time, patterns form: speak loudly, miss wildly, move on without accountability. California already deals with enough politicians who offer certainty without results. Even though they vote those people into office, they deserve better than reruns of recycled cable news theatrics."
