No, not even no thank you, just no.

And, you’re offering what?
Some of these people could be really helpful in fighting for some of the injustices since he apparently has lots of money to throw around, but oh no, it’s got to be president or nothing.

Boy, I can’t wait for all the Republicans to jump in on their side.

Just another indication that none of the existing candidates is generating broad-based support to unite the opposition and rid us of Putin’s Prank. Not looking good, folks.

Steyer is such a stupid sc*mbag. (It totally doesn’t occur to him that the “NPD billionaire” position is currently filled by Howard Schultz. Sorry Tom, but Howard beat ya to it.) He’d have much better traction by publicly supporting the Dem candidate that backs his winning proposition. By doing something as ridiculous as this, it totally undercuts his message. Good.

ETA: Does Tom understand enough about American politics to realize that it’s Congress that brings about impeachment proceedings and possibly removal and not POTUS? Or, does he just think he can do everything?

No, no, no, and no. Did I mention, no? Because no.

Just no. Use the money to help people, not for self-aggrandizement. Just because you think the president should be impeached and you made a lot of money doesn’t mean you know squat about politics, policy at the national and international level, government operations, or anything else useful. You don’t need to know it all but a healthy dose of humility and some indication you’re teachable helps. In this instance, all the evidence points to no.

The old white anonymous dudes in suits just need to draw straws for which one can run. We don’t need more than one, just gets confusing.

This is a really bad idea. Splitting up the anti Trump vote among the Dems and third party candidates plays right into Spankys hands. Multiple third party candidates could hand the election to Trump.
