Eric Swalwell has had a lot to say about Trump and conservatives, but apparently, his message is not getting through.
His campaign touted a big speech he was going to give on gun control near NRA headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.
The problem, though, was not even two dozen people showed up to hear Swalwell speak…
Look! All of presidential candidate Swalwell's supporters came out to our headquarters today. No wonder he is polling at 0%. pic.twitter.com/sFZAishEoC

Big Buildup
For several days leading up to the speech, the Swalwell campaign was trying to hype this up in the hopes of getting Swalwell’s daring speech in the NRA’s backyard as though it would rival a Trump rally.
The video that went out to show the speech was cleverly done by Politico to keep the focus on Swalwell with supporters behind him.
Dems love to use this tack when they are showing rallies because it makes the appearance look as though it is so packed, people had to gather behind the candidate.
At one of Biden’s earlier appearances, he actually had more people behind him than he did in the audience.
Swalwell’s speech was even worse.
He had about a dozen people standing behind him that looked completely disinterested in what he had to say…
Swalwell: It is time to ban and buy back every single assault weapon — making sure first and foremost no more assault weapons are manufactured in the future but also with a plan to buy back the 15 million that are in circulation in our communities today https://t.co/B3RTSYIAfN pic.twitter.com/d9fAmUrB0r

Sadly, the only people in front of him were the camera crew.
Stop Wasting Our Time
Swalwell is a representative for California.
He has been all over the country the last month or so running for president.
In the meantime, the streets of California are packed with homeless who are literally crapping in the streets.
Swalwell is currently polling at zero percent, yet he continues to campaign.
What exactly is he doing for the people of California by continuing this charade?
Furthermore, why is his salary being paid by We the People when he is not even doing his job.
Swalwell is the poster child for forcing current office holders to resign if they want to run for another office.
The ONLY reason Swalwell is still in this election is for national headlines he otherwise would never get, but it comes at the expense of the people he is being paid to represent.
Resign to run… we need to make it a law.
