If you have time, watch and listen to Tom Steyer. He would blow Trump away in any debate.

2. The last thing we need right now

. . . For President is yet another billionaire businessman with no previous government experience.

Activist? Absolutely, yes. Senator? Cabinet officer? Appointed to a commission or task force? Probably,
But NOT PRESIDENt,

Precisely BECAUSE this is an emergency, This is not the time for amateur hour.

3. Millionaires have an unfair advantage

Except for his bank roll this guy has no more business running for president than I do.

We both are totally inexperience.

Pass.

8. Most Dems running for office have experience, not just a large fortune.

5. Steyer is intelligent and has ideas that should be debated

I think a debate about just how democratic the American government should be (he wants more direct democracy) would be a good civic exercise (hint: there are downsides as well as upsides).

6. No, it isn't. Steyer is yet another example of why we

need to destroy our new billionaire classes.

Our candidates for the enormous power of government should not be products solely of their own shameless ambition (the presidency!), their inflated egos and and their huge fortunes that enable them to hire as many professionals as needed to manipulate them into office. We need those who offer themselves to the electorate to already have records of proven good character and requisite experience and abilities and to already be the choice of a large number of people who've come to know them and believe in them.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." ~ Nancy Pelosi's address to the nation on the opening of the 116th congress.

11. Good for you. Put some of that money back into circulation and lets hear more about what

you have to say.

15. I like his idea about the need for a workaround of Congress for a public national vote

about the issues, however, Congress (or the States) would need to make a constitutional amendment for this to happen. I don't think that is possible as they are all bought. Bummer.
That being said, I don't want this guy as President.
