It is a simple and clear presentation. Not much different from many others but he might pick up some support from other candidates.

I dunno if he is a natural fit as the platform bearer (being a billionaire and never a public office holder, like Trump to that level) but he is something of an outsider and passionate about issues. 62.

His Beneficial Bank has noble goals and practices (I had some involvement for a credit union with similar goals & practices long ago) but appears to be under-performing financially. That is probably acceptable to them at some level but does limit growth and potentially threatens sustainability. I've glanced thru their financial report but will probably try to read more fully later, from them and outsiders. It is a different look than pure charity. There is a niche for this but I am not sure if we will see the scale dramatically increase to a large share of the economy. But better to try than not.

Not only that, the POS made his fortune investing in the very fuels he now demonizes.

And in a Rolling Stone interview, he called for nuclear war, saying
Quote:
“Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction,”

He also wants to get "big money" out of politics, yet has spent $261 million on mostly losing democrat campaigns since 2013, and another 50 million trying to impeach our duly elected president.

There is absolutely no way that a billionaire with no political experience could ever get elected President. Oh, wait. Nevermind.

Tom Steyer isn't a serious candidate.

I never even heard of him.

Mostly likely he'll get less than 2% in the polls and not matter much.

But if he spends enough, at the right moment, it could get to 4 and then have a chance to go higher.
