Tom Steyer 2020

Evidence proves our election was attacked. In general, those who "hated Hillary" were on the Right. I wasn't a fan. I'm still not a fan but I've never hated her. I'm not a fan of anyone who is corporate sponsored and Hillary was corporate sponsored. I could never feel "all in" with Obama either even though he was certainly one of the best presidents in out history. I am a Liberal through and through. Bernie introduced America to democratic socialism. That's pretty much where I stand. I'm no longer a big Bernie fan but I still embrace his political philosophies.

Maybe you didn't see it, but a lot of us thought Hillary had a kind of arrogance that was a turn-off. Strangely enough, I can understand what the woman in the store was getting at when she said "Hillary really wants to be president." There are candidates in the current race (men and women) who "really want to be president." I think what she could have been referring to is that Hillary, like some in today's race are more concerned with their legacy than they are about getting elected to stand up for the masses. I get it...all candidates "really want to be president" but only a handful of today's candidates seem genuinely passionate about doing what's best for the masses. I would put Warren (and a couple of others) firmly in that category. I believe that the public will pay attention to that kind of candidate regardless of whether the candidate is male or female (in general). Hillary didn't express herself with nearly the level of passion that Warren does and Hillary was ill-prepared for Trump's attacks in the debates. She was too often on the defensive.


The best defense is a strong offense. No one understands that better than Trump. We need someone who won't allow him to get away with it. I happen to believe no one would be better informed or work harder to make certain Trump can't get away with his shenanigans than Warren. I also love Buttigieg, but can you imagine him having a sit-down meeting with world leaders like Putin and leaders of Arab nations who are vehemently anti-gay? I fully support LGBT people, but anti-gay leaders won't even want to talk to him. That could be a problem. I know, some of them won't want to talk to a woman either but we've now had enough women on the world stage that it should no longer be much of a problem.

I agree, except he has used a substantial chunk of his vast wealth to help bring our biggest problem to the forefront - campaign financing. He will not get my vote in the primary, but I'd like to see him on the debate stage. Some of the candidates who are running are sponsored by special interests with deep pockets. Biden is one of them. For that reason (and his age, his gaffs, his wimpiness, etc.), Biden (and others) also won't get my vote, but I'm glad to have most of them on the debate stage. We've heard some interesting ideas and concepts from candidates who have no chance. Steyer represents the billionaire class that actually wants what's best for the masses. No one in that class likes paying taxes any more than anyone else, but some of them recognize how corrupt and consequently, unfair our system is.

I don't want a billionaire to represent my interests, but I'd like to hear from billionaires who are on the side of the masses. Their voices are important and can bring credibility to the voices of the poor and working class merely by openly recognizing how their class has so horribly distorted our system of government. I tend to believe his intentions are honorable...but who knows? If he were to get elected, he might be another power-seeking greedy bast*rd like our traitor in chief.
