Tom Steyer Is Building a Political Death Star Political Wire by Taegan Goddard Daily Beast: “Ask a professional Democrat for his or her opinion on billionaire political donor Tom Steyer, and the answer you often get is a variation of the following: Why would someone with so much money spend it all on a fruitless attempt to impeach Donald Trump?” “Press them for their thoughts in private, however, and many concede that the man funding a $40 million campaign to get rid of the current president is not just a gifted self-promoter, but is, in fact, building one of the true powerhouse entities within the Democratic ecosystem. Steyer is poised to play a massive role in the midterms and pull the party in the direction of his choosing. He’s also set himself up incredibly well—perhaps better than any other potential aspirant—for a serious presidential bid in 2020.” Said one Democratic strategist: “If I were a rich person and I wanted to run for president.

The battle being promoted by the Mercers/Kochs/Putin/NRA machines is to stealthy promote LOCAL attacks against centrist Democrats -- from the left. The worst insult here is "the Democratic party insider candidate is a CLINTON Democrat. A CLINTON Democrat??? OH THE HUMANITY!

It is happening here in liberal Berkeley/Oakland.

Cons know they can't now win on issues, so they must resort to such political manipulations.

This election means ALL hands on deck. And we have to find candidates who can WIN, not just pontificate utopian Marxism and blowing-up Wall Street, or injustices toward Fidel. The middle class is generally... "middle." The attacks from the left are sometimes more deadly than from the factless ideology on the right,
