It's funny though, he's saying a lot of things that I like to hear.

But when he says he's going to "Abolish ICE" or arrest Stephen Miller, he's just flat-out lying. He knows he can't do that, yet he says it anyways. That sets off all sorts of alarms.

In some ways, it reminds me of another billionaire who promised to fixed healthcare on day one.

playing paddy-cake with them and telling voters that nothing can be done.

Sometimes you have to look at the intention behind the threats and, for me,
I don't want a governor who wont fight.

I am an FDR Democrat and I know from FDR's example that a wealthy Democrat
can make a huge difference in the world.

The other candiates are taking money from all kinds of PAC's and one thing people who
have been in office learn how to do is get big money by doing what their big donors ask.

The more Steyer is attacked the more likely it is he will ge my vote.

Maybe the other candidates should stand up and say they will fight for things that the media keeps
telling you is impossible.

Otherwise you will keep getting that same old tired crappy representation or lack thereof.
