There, I said it. Anybody else? I’m not getting much of a spark from the Demo top 3 and the next batch seems a bit green. How about a successful outsider with no baggage?

he has "kind of" been running for a while.
I doubt he has a chance, but I will give him a look.

I like his plain spokenness but don't know his platform (if he has one, other than 'Trump is a fraud')
I'm a little leery of billionaires who think they can run a country because they ran a big business. I would need to see who he would pull into his cabinet, and if he has a clue about how government works, after our current big business magnate's total failure.

Steyer made the cut for tomorrow’s debate so I feel obligated to watch. Time to see how he compares to the others and if he gets bump that makes him a legit candidate.

I'm also leery of billionaires that think they know everything...I'll watch/listen to the debate & see how that goes.
He hasn't impressed me a lot from what I've seen so far.

Business and government are different. Everyone agrees on the purpose of business - make as much money as possible. With government there are tons of people working in every possible direction, trying to accomplish different things, and they all report to someone different that have a variety of priorities. It isn't the same.
Don't get me wrong - I love business and it can be complex, but at the end of the day, everyone in the company has the same goal to satisfy the same people. And there are neat little reports that prove if you did it right or not.
Outsiders have not excelled in the Oval Office .

I dunno. Let me put him through my "not Trump" test. Q: Is Tom Steyer Donald Trump? A: No, he is not Donald Trump. Ok, he can be president.  |
