His rhetoric on wealth inequality and climate change sounds much like the Warren/Sanders side of the party. But the fact that he's a billionaire who basically bought his way into this puts him at odds with like... most of everything they stand for lol? Like if I didn't know his policies my no-info reaction would probably be something like, "People who want an old, moderate, white guy like Biden... but are worried about Biden because gaffes, age, etc." but it doesn't square up with his policy! One of the data guys (might have been Silver, I forget) notes that yeah, he's basically the only one running ads in NV and SC right now but that that's been the case for months now so it doesn't really make sense as an explanation for why it's happening now. I do think Silver threw out a "working theory" that with all the news fatigue over impeachment and Iran that maybe his ad blitz is working better now as an alternative? donations though i have no idea Still think Steyer's best move was to declare victory when Pelosi announced the inquiry - since his rise to "prominence" in this cycle was him running those Impeach ads - and drop out declaring mission accomplished. I'm really left with no real other explanation then ego like Bloomberg but it kinda blows my mind that either of them would blow over a hundred million on a doomed vanity/ego campaign. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:932701656] in Politics C...
