California liberal billionaire Tom Steyer is reconsidering running for president in 2020 despite declining to enter the crowded race of Dems vying for the White House months ago, reports said.

Steyer, an environmentalist who's spent billions in ad dollars and other efforts to urge the impeachment of President Trump, told staffers last week he plans formally launch his 2020 campaign Tuesday, three people familiar with his plans told Politico. Steyer would become the twenty-sixth Democrat competing for the party’s nomination to take on Trump.

He revealed his plan during a private conference call with his San Francisco office and two progressive organizations he funds, Need to Impeach and NextGen America, but has yet to make the bid public, the Atlantic also reported.

I think he could do well. He’s probably better known than most of the dem candidates, self-made billionaire businessman, non-politician. He’s spent a ton of money trying to get Trump impeached. I don’t know if he has any charisma but I’ve only seen him in his impeachment ads.

Steyer’s money has wrecked havoc in Washington State. He is a genuine leftist POS.

He is like Soros a designated traitor and enemy of the state. He is on the slate to go down with the rest of the crooks. He has no chance.

Steyer is reported to have decided to go ahead and jump in, believing the Leftist field of Leftists.... have gone way too far out there. For what it’s worth.

...instead used the trip to hold a town hall for his Need to Impeach group, which over the course of two years has grown to be the largest progressive-leaning organization in the country with 8 million members...

Sounds like he's to the left of Warren...

Steyer is as ravenous and every bit as destructive as the other field rats, of which he supposedly thinks have gone too far and have therefore given him an opening.

Kristol and Brettsy Stephens will like Steyer for his obsessive hatred of Trump and his consuming interest with starting impeachment.

I don’t even know who this assclown is, but I see his tactics, he has MONEY and is gonna fight for the little guy after the rest have been crushed in the wheels.

At least Trump came out fighting, hell, he is still standing.

I hope so (as a father of 4 here) as that could only help Trump-probably not get many votes but in close states might help

I see nothing to suggest Tom Steyer is a “pooftah” but he has repeatedly shown himself to be an arrogant ragemonkey who thinks he can buy whatever he wants.

His wife— a woman— is on the board of LaRaza.

Yeah, on a ticket saying that everyone in the world should pin every crime they could ever think of on Trump, like Tom obviously does.
