Tom Steyer’s Impeachment Campaign Is Building Him a Political Death Star
Daily Beast ^ | March 29, 2018 | Lachlan Markay and Sam Stein

Posted on 04/02/2018 6:06:42 AM PDT by C19fan

Ask a professional Democrat for his or her opinion on billionaire political donor Tom Steyer, and the answer you often get is a variation of the following: Why would someone with so much money spend it all on a fruitless attempt to impeach Donald Trump?

Press them for their thoughts in private, however, and many concede that the man funding a $40 million campaign to get rid of the current president is not just a gifted self-promoter, but is, in fact, building one of the true powerhouse entities within the Democratic ecosystem. Steyer is poised to play a massive role in the midterms and pull the party in the direction of his choosing. He’s also set himself up incredibly well—perhaps better than any other potential aspirant—for a serious presidential bid in 2020.

The coalition of the fringes is not a death star but a clown show propped up by literally trillions of dollars in propaganda and the usual conservative stooges who march out to play the stooge every time the left sets up some political theatre.

You should be careful of what analogies you use. In the movies, the Death Stars were not all that effective. I don't think that Steyer's 'Death Star' will dio any better.

Democrats never saw and election they did not want to buy. That is why they never bother to build a popular platform, they would rather beg borrow or steal their way to the top. Voting is for peons.

The only similarity between Steyer and the Death Star is the size of their exhaust ports.

How did he make his billions? Abortion mills,perhaps? Or maybe it was “male enhancement” pills?

Always remember, never ever underestimate your opponent and do not forget that there are a lot of ignorant and dumb voters out there. Having voted for Hillary who is not only a crook, but a dumb one to boot proves this point.

Hillary pretended to be a moderate centrist. This guy is far too stupid to do that.

No, the Democrats aren't stupid as the Republicans in that area, they will quickly anoint the designated one.

The democrats don't know or particularly care what the charges are. They just want President Trump removed from office so that Hillary can have her inauguration. That's how their "Living Constitution" reads: If any conservative has the temerity to defeat the heir apparent and First Woman, that conservative shall be impeached and removed from office, and the First Woman shall be inaugurated and installed as President-For-Life.

[Living Constitution, Article, I, Section 3]
- The Mainstream Media shall be the only trusted Speaker; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment . . . The Mainstream Broadcast Media shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation to protect diversity and the globalist agenda. When the President of the United States is tried, the New York Times Editor in Chief shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of The View hosts present.

He blew 75M trying to drag Hillary across the finish line.
Busing students to ND from Minneapolis to block pipeline didn’t work either.

He does seem to have the same problem Hillary does...Tone Deaf to American Voters.
