Billionaire Tom Steyer just announced he is joining the gang of Democratic candidates for POTUS. Steyer had been a major donor to previous Democratic campaigns. Steyer presents a couple of huge issues for the 2020 Democratic challenge to Trump.
If Steyer doesn't get the nomination and pouts... the candidate who does get the nomination will not benefit from that funding. And... if Steyer feels he has been snubbed by the DNC, will he fund Trump's campaign or the campaign of a third party candidate?
If Steyer does get the nomination... if he buys the nomination... I don't see any way he can appeal to the Democratic base minorities and working class. We've had enough of the hedge fund manager billionaires. They just haven't lived on "this side of the tracks". Steyer's rhetoric may sound as if he is sympathetic to the Democratic base. Will they hear it that way?
If Steyer is serious, and it appears he is, this move may well have just guaranteed re-election of Trump in 2020.
