This week's debate is a huge opportunity for Tom Steyer

Steyer did very well at CNN's Equality Town Hall last week. He appeared to be knowledgeable and empathetic.

A great performance by Steyer tomorrow night could shake up the race as he would be an attractive option for voters who have concerns about all 5 of our frontrunners.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Steyer's platform isn't full of gimmicks, but he does distinguish himself by using extremely tough language towards trump.

I could be wrong but it seems like he's slightly left of Biden and slightly right of Warren.

primary today, I would vote for:

There is no reason why it couldn't be split into two 6-candidate debates.

is to pile on Trump. He's in a downward spiral and every candidate should totally focus on kicking him hard.

primary today, I would vote for:

No one thinks we do. The rest of the analysis is about just as flawed.

Joe Biden
