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."

Really, Tom? If all the candidates had made last nights debate a mutual admiration society meeting how would that have advanced the cause of the Democrat Party or a single debater. Each one of them has to do something to separate themselves from the pack, and a mutual admiration society meeting isn’t going to do it. The fighting always begins when they try to establish their differences. I am better than you never fits well in a mutual admiration society meeting.
Did Steyer go back to mining more coal?
I agree with him...I’m SHOCKED...
Heaven forbid democrats go after each other’s “records.” That is completely off limits.
Actually, in a sense it is. The media won’t do it. And D’s calling other D’s what they actually are is kind of refreshing.
So is the correct expression, “horse-face lesbian pony soldiers,” or, “dog face pony soldiers.”
I want to make sure I’m politically correct.
True, in this politically correct world, we always need to know what is permitted, and what phrases or off hand comments will get us fired and driven out of careers and public life.
Yes so nice to see the rats do our dirty work.
Dog faced, fat, ugly women. Horse faced, lesbian, pony soldiers.
Tom Steyer is as boring as watching paint dry in the dark...
Steyer’s ads blanketed the Boston and NH airwaves.
Result of the NH primary:
6th place, 3.8 %, 10k votes
