Great job by Tom Steyer on MSNBC just now. He will make an outstanding president in 2021. (eom)

1. No

No outsiders. No goddamned billionaires. I don't want to swap their oligarchs with our oligarchs.

I want a previously campaign-vetted elected official running for our party!

[StevieM]

3. Being a billionare should not be a reason to make someone president--or to deny them the presidency.

He should be judged on his merits. And it is not fair to call him an oligarch. He is better described as a dedicated environmentalist.

And he understands that we should not ignore the fact that Donald Trump is committing blatantly impeachable offenses.

[Totally Tunsie]

2. Steyer is interesting, but

NO.

The presidency isn't suited for on-the-job training. I want someone who has paid her/his dues and come up through the ranks with proven ability, and who understands the concept of the three branches of our government.

[StevieM]

4. First of all, I think he understands the three branches of our government.

He understands that the man in the executive branch is abusing the powers of his office and has committed impeachable offenses.

He has proven himself to me through his work on climate change, the most important issue that we face.

Can I assume that you will vote for him if he is the nominee, your concerns notwithstanding?

[Totally Tunsie]

7. We're both entitled to our respective opinions

even if we don't agree.

He understands that the man in the executive branch is abusing the powers of his office and has committed impeachable offenses.

Seriously? Pretty much everyone on DU understands that, but it doesn't mean we're all qualified to be president.

He has proven himself to me through his work on climate change, the most important issue that we face.

Again, you're entitled to your opinion on this. Others may have differing priorities.

Can I assume that you will vote for him if he is the nominee, your concerns notwithstanding?

I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

Have a good evening.

[we can do it]

5. No. No. No.

[StevieM]

6. We can both support our preferred candidate in the primaries. And when the people choose a nominee

we should both dedicate ourselves to getting him or her elected.

[Raine]

8. Ugh, no thanks

[Me.]

9. No Thanks

if another businessman runs the country ever again, it will be too soon

[StevieM]

10. He ended his career as a businessman in order to focus on being an environmentalist.

He devoted himself to fighting climate change and protecting our natural resources.

[Me.]

11. I Give Him Cred For Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is

but just not into him.

[a kennedy]

12. Don't we have to get through the 2018's first???

[msongs]

13. we already have a self-serving corporate blow hard as president nt

[StevieM]

14. Then Tom Steyer will be a welcome change of pace since he is an environmentalist

who is interested in serving the country, not himself.
