EDIT: I have done poor Eric Swalwell a disservice with the above statement because there is definitely a more forgettable candidate. I literally just found out that there was a man named Tim Ryan onstage one of the two nights, who I have genuinely never heard of before, and who I don't remember factoring into any of the coverage I saw. So instead, Swalwell is in the unfortunate position of being the most forgettable candidate who is still memorable enough that we remember we previously forgot who he was.
