He's right. There's an opening, after all the meaningless ones drop out.

Is he an Independent or what?

He needs to work on getting that ad down to a shorter length.

Ideologically most like Sanders and Warren.
He is very big on Impeachment.

Wheh! I watched the entire video to see if he would mention that and he did in the final splash screen at the end.

lol I bet he did that on purpose to get people to watch it all. It worked on me.

and he is running on a very progressive (in the traditional sense) anti-corporate vision. Bernie and Elizabeth will be in direct competition with him.

I lean O’ Rourke but there is an appealing element to Tom Steyer. A passionate environmentalist that isn’t afraid to take on Trump with bare knuckles. He supports decriminalizing unauthorized border crossings and expanding the size of the Supreme Court, as well as, a government health care option to the current private system. Tom puts his money where his mouth is and an outsider does have an appeal to a lot of people. I don’t necessary fault him for his wealth as he seems to use it to fight the good fight. I don’t think he has much of a chance in the primary but I welcome him, his message and his willingness to take on the President.

And the health care ideas.

But no one who wants open borders is going to win the GE, IMO. There is little taste for that among the voting masses, even those on the left.
