Billionaire Tom Steyer banks on South Carolina in 1st presidential bid stop

Just days after launching his bid for the 2020 race, Tom Steyer hit the campaign trail on Friday, making South Carolina his first stop.

He kicked off his campaign with a grassroots pitch, championing himself as an "outsider" aiming to reform democracy by taking on big corporations, a force he claims is undermining American government.

"What I'm saying in my campaign is that corporations have taken over our government," Steyer told ABC News in a one-on-one interview. "And we need to take that government back on behalf of people who have been disadvantaged."

He spent his first day on the campaign trail meeting with community members in Charleston, touring low-income neighborhoods with local activists to discuss education, housing, health care, transportation and infrastructure reform....

2. I think he believes a lot of his own press.

And i'm not impressed.

3. Biggly disappointed.

I sent lots of need to impeach stuff. Didn't know he was setting up his own run. We don't need more candidates. We have some great ones. He expects money from us that is not gonna happen in my case.

5. He's got plenty of money.

[gibraltar72]

6. I don't dispute that.

But since he announced he's e mailed me about 6 times asking for donations. Some malarkey about leaving the job half done.

[Voltaire2]

4. He's at least interesting.

7. He's full of ideas that should be discussed

like his national referenda-- that really go back to discussions between Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton about forming a republic versus a democracy. Of course, that discussion echoed ancient history. It's clear that the founders mostly would not have liked that idea, but a discussion of how much of democracy the country wants would a useful one.

8. I don't know what he brings to the table that isn't already at the table.

I liked his "Need to Impeach" campaign until he ran an ad blaming democrats that IMO wasn't helpful to democrats.

I'd rather see him use his money to run ads in battleground states holding Trump accountable for his lies and his record of doing nothing. And, supporting the record of democrats trying to help regular people.

9. Is he running as a Democrat? If not, then that. (n/t)

10. zero history of responding to the needs of voters. just making himself richer nt
