This Is Who 2020 Presidential Candidate Tom Steyer Says Won the Las Vegas Debate...And They Weren't on the Stage
Townhall ^ | 02/20/2020 | Julio Rosas

Democratic presidential candidate and billionaire Tom Steyer told CNN on Thursday none of his fellow rivals won Wednesday's debate in Las Vegas because President Trump was the true victor.

"Because I saw so much bickering between Democratic candidates tearing each other down and going after each other and forgetting the fact that what really counts is beating Donald Trump in November of 2020," Steyer said.

"I saw people going after each other’s personality and records instead of remembering that, in fact, the Democratic Party needs to win in November," he added.

Steyer was not on the stage after failing to meet the ever increasing tough thresholds put on the campaigns. The debate show major clashes between each of the candidates as the race heats up and delegates are now in play.

And just like the other candidates on the stage, Steyer criticized former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

"I think that people who’ve been as successful as Mike Bloomberg or me should understand that the Democratic Party stands for the idea that the inequality in this country is unacceptable," he explained. "That’s why I said, Alisyn. from the very beginning I said about Mike Bloomberg. You want to run as a Democrat? You have to come out for a wealth tax. I did it long before I was running for president."

Trump's reelection campaign released a statement on the debate, describing the Democratic party being in a "full-scale meltdown."

Bloomberg's campaign manager Kevin Sheekey's post-debate statement
(written on his resume to qualify for the job w/ Bloomberg), was not unexpected:

"You know you're a winner when you are drawing attacks from all the candidates.
Everyone came to destroy Mike tonight. It didn’t happen. He was just warming up."

Steyer wasn’t able to buy his way on to the debate? He must not want it very much.

If that zero had been on stage Trump still would have won.

WHY is it newsworthy that HE only now ‘notices’ something everyone here has always known about Liberals?

Not that Liberals are ‘low class’ jerks ... but that they are ‘no class’ jerks-always.

So, Steyer is just another whiny snowflake left along the road when the clown car left.

I found myself switching between the Dem debate and the Trump rally. The contrast was stunning.

forgetting the fact that what really counts is beating Donald Trump in November of 2020," Steyer said.

That's the main thing. Nothing for the country. Nothing for the people. No borders. Get hosed on trade agreements. Just beat Trump. We can't let him keep on making America great. Because that's bad . . . or something.

Trump has been the undisputed winner of EVERY democrat debate this cycle .. and will be.

The Democrat debates are literally like watching all the clowns in the clown car trying to decide who is going to be the last clown to exit the car.

Last nights debate had the added delusion that somehow if they added a new clown to the car late in the game that the clown car would somehow miraculously turn into a Cadillac... which of course it did not.

Democrats are in a cycle where best case this fall for them is about 10’states and DC regardless of who they nominate.. after last nights dumpster fire, even that is looking more and more like its being far too generous and optimistic about their chances.
