Tuesday

was at least in part because the GOP didn't want to endanger a dangerously thin lead in the House. Once it began to look like Swalwell had lost support, this became a good opportunity to clean house, get a new candidate in place, while not jeopardizing their control. They GOP gets to look like they are voting their conscience, when in point of fact it simply becomes a self-serving political calculus.
