Was Tom Steyer’s Campaign the Worst in Presidential History? Billionaire spent $3,373 per vote and earned zero delegates

One of the comments:

“Hold my beer…” –Michael Bloomberg

Who's Tom Steyer?

[aposiopetic]

As for the opposite extreme:

Pat Paulsen spent nothing (as far as I know) and got write-in votes.

And then there is the late Harold Stassen....

Please clap 👏

Money was an investment, he didn't loose anything. Steyer's business will be further “blessed” by every lobbyists and news organizations. Same thing with Bloomberg by those who are foolishly rejoicing over his election loses. This is about positioning not squandering, people.

Well eye Sty at least got a lesson in booty dancing to Rap.

I tweeted on this earlier today but came up with $3,551.44 per vote. I counted votes in Iowa, NH, Nevada and SC.

By comparison, Trump paid an average of $9.79 per vote in 2016 (and he got nearly 63m of them - plus the presidency).

I knew after Trump won that certain billionaires would try running in 2020. They are realizing that running for POTUS is hard. Very hard. And you can't just throw money out there and expect it to happen for you.

BTW, Trump was OUTSPENT by Hillary in 2016. Which goes further to show that money doesn't win elections. You actually need to get out there and work, appeal to people.

And to think he wanted to get his mitts on some 4 trillion of our tax dollars every year.

Worst campaign in history ... so far. Bloomburg’s vanity project is still ongoing.

With Steyer, its about hatred of Trump. No one has pushed impeachment or spent more money campaigning for impeachment over the past two years more than he did.
Too bad he suspended his campaign. He is not that rich (worth only $1.6 Billion)when compared to Bloomberg. I would have preferred for him to keep wasting money at this rate till November. He'd have come close to wiping out most of his money.

Democrat campaign version of Jeb Bush.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Neither Bloomberg (aka - that asshole) or Steyer (the arrogant green hypocrite) understand that it helps to have a personality and the ability to relate to people.

[richardtavor]

The Democratic establishmentioned is coalescin around Biden. First Steyer, then Buttgieg. Next week Klobuchar and Bloomberg? Warren? Sounded like she wanted to be Sanders VP, but he sounds like he isn’t interested.

They are investing; Steyer and Bloomberg are not financial idiots.

[SmokingJoe]

You are right.
When Trump won, a lot of old geezer Billionaires thought to themselves, “Hey if a “loudmouth”. like Trump can do it, I can do it too”.
And I am talking to you Mr Bloomberg. :)
