The Sweet Sixteen: Who Should Drop Out of the Democratic Primary?
Today, Rep. Eric Swalwell became the second candidate (behind Richard Ojeda) to drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination. To Swalwell's credit, his decision was very levelheaded. "After the first Democratic presidential debate, our polling and fundraising numbers weren't what we hoped for, and I no longer see a path forward to the nomination."

Now that Swalwell has exited the race, my hope is that some of the other candidates running will see the light and drop out as well.
