American Thinker: As if the Democratic field weren’t crowded enough, here comes lefty billionaire Tom Steyer to cram into the clown car.
Democratic Party chairman Tom Perez, fresh from getting the imbecilic Eric Swalwell out of the field yesterday, must be completely thrilled.
Steyer is going to want to be accommodated on the debate stage, too, offering nothing new, policy-wise, just more of the same leftist extremism, divided up between 20 candidates with about six minutes’ speaking time, each trying to out-left one other.
Here’s Steyer’s announcement and pitch:
WASHINGTON — Billionaire activist Tom Steyer declared his candidacy for the presidency on Tuesday in a video, reversing an earlier announcement several months ago that he intended to sit out the 2020 Democratic primary race.
“The other Democratic candidates for president have many great ideas that will absolutely move our country forward, but we won’t be able to get any of those done until we end the hostile corporate takeover of our democracy,” Steyer said in a statement released alongside his announcement video. “As an outsider, I’ve led grassroots efforts that have taken on big corporations and won results for people. That’s not something you see a lot of from Washington these days. That’s why I’m running for president.”
Well, great, the billionaire elites of the Left now have their candidate.
What does Steyer stand for? What does he bring to the party? Nothing, actually, other than more extremism.
But there’s more green now with Steyer onboard, both the global warming kind and the dollar bill kind.
Steyer’s signature issue is the rich-man’s plaything: climate change, going green. There’s nothing like jetting around in ozone layer-killing private jets from any of the multiple homes to attend conferences about saving the planet. He’s white, he’s rich, and this is about the only identity politics he can glom onto.
What’s his other signature issue? Impeaching President Trump. The lunatic had more money than he knew what to do with, and ahead of the 2018 midterm, he spent like a sailor to bore us in California and perhaps elsewhere in television ads he paid for to call for the impeachment of President Trump. Did he set off a grassfire rebellion with those big-dollar ads? Nope. What was the result of the spendfest anyway? Pretty much letting everyone know he had money to spend on ads. The effect was absolutely zero. more here
Well put in the title, MJA! LOL
Sounds like the ‘clown’ car needs some KY jelly for all the misfits to squeeze in.
KY seems appropriate, knowing how all those clowns like to phuck each other and everyone else.
All these dem candidates are nothing more than money laundering to get around the campaign finance contribution limits.
When they drop out they “donate” the ‘unused’ money they have collected to the front runner.
It’s all a shell game to get around the law.
Gee what a shock… dems cheating.
They have an endless supply of nincompoops!
Steyer knows he doesn’t have a chance.
That’s why he’s in.
He knows they’re all going to lose.
So what better time to sow subversion.
An entertainment con.
If you are a slower poke or an ‘It’ll Never Work, All is Lost’ panty twister (here on other threads) or a shill (a fewer still) then you probably don’t understand yet why President Trump won 2020 a long time ago.
PS: Gotta love the Wheel of misFortune memes headed the next round.
Steyer is nothing but an overly inflated ego unsupported by any brain matter.
He’ll crash in the same spectacular manner as the Hindenburg.
Wow that’s great! When he makes me equal I’ll be a billionaire just like him!
Some animals are MORE equal than others………

No kinda STOOPID, like DEMOKRAP STOOPID… with MONEY!!! 😆
This numbnut, Ted Kennedy, Hollyweird, et.al. 😳
Steyer is probably part of the Epstein scandal and is using the presidential run (among others running) as a potential defense to be used at a later date.
I hate this rat bastard, hypocritical son of a bitch. He piles money up here in Canada trying to block pipelines and influence government policy so he and his blackhearted pals can continue to make money of “green” projects that are actually siphons into the government treasury. Where’s a crazed sniper when you need one.
He sounds like he has something to hide.
Has he ever traveled on the Lolita Express?
Give the man his due. He did play a mean banjo in Deliverance.
