WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Tom Steyer failed to make a splash in his first Democratic presidential primary debate despite spending the equivalent of $109,000 per second he spoke on the stage.
The 62-year-old billionaire hedge fund king-turned-impeachment activist had the least amount of speaking time of the 12 candidates during Tuesday's debate, about 7 minutes, while most other candidates got 12 minutes or more to answer moderator questions and make their points.
Steyer, who has pledged to spend $100 million of his own money on his presidential bid, gave his campaign a whopping $47.6 million from his July launch through the end of September and raised slightly over $2 million from other individuals. The campaign spent $47 million on operating expenses, more than twice what top third-quarter fundraiser Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders spent: $21.3 million of the $25.2 million he raised.

NO ONE THAT UGLY WOULD EVER WIN!!!!
He’s a legend in his own mind, hope he spends it all!
I’ve seen clips of him and can’t figure out how someone that clueless and who makes such stupid comments could make so much money. He must have a good staff.
Trump never spend a fortune to become President. Rich idiots think they can buy public office.
That’s Steyer to a T.
Just think some people work decades to accumulate a $109,000 401k and this talking head blew several lifetimes worth of an average retirement.
I’ve seen clips of him and can’t figure out how someone that clueless and who makes such stupid comments could make so much money. He must have a good staff.
I believe he invested in coal in the “developing world.” Naturally, he’s an “environmentalist” and Democrat.
This just shows you can have billions of dollars and still be a foolish worm.
Spend all your money, climate hypocrite.
Am imbecile who probably has himself convinced Trump won because of money not ideas.
It figures.
A fool and his money
Steyer is living proof that “a fool and his money are soon parted”.
At least he’s helping some part of the economy, the Marxist pollsters, advertising propagandists and his psychiatrist.
Steyer is creepy, reminds me of Applewhite.
Good post.
Idiots like Steyer can’t connect the dots and realize that if the crap they spout came true, they’d be living in huts.
Just to be clear - there was no entry fee for the debate, correct?

What exactly did Steyer spend his money on? That’s more than Biden, Warren, or Sanders. Has anyone seen a Steyer commercial?
