    Following a disappointing result in S. Carolina primary, Tom Steyer has ended his presidential bid.

    Wonder where his votes go. Guess I'll check the Caucus results.

    Almost certainly to the other billionaire. Steyer is neither as well known or as controversial.

    Steyer spent a lot of money in S. Carolina but did not get the desired results.

    His 11%.
    Looks like about half to Biden, 25% Warren, 20% the Burn and 5% misc..

    Haven't I seen a post from you somewhere about not using national polls?

    If Bloomberg doesn't poll well on super Tuesday I would expect him to also drop out.

    I did not expect either of them to last long, but neither is going away either.

    Steyer has already a well built network of supporters through his campaign and the Impeach Now coalition he created. Bloomberg still has a lot of money to throw around. The both of them I feel confident will help who ever the eventual nominee will be.

    Whoever is the eventual candidate will need a lot of financial help as Dirty Donald has a full war chest from his fat cat donors.

    Money will flow to Democrats in an avalanche. Steyer, Bloomberg, Bezos, Gates and 90% of Bay Area billionaires will dump cash into Democratic coffers. We're talking real money here. May as well turn off your TV, it will be overrun with political garbage.

    No, not me. I just mostly make jokes and point out when people are being hypocrites. Maybe there is another Cap'n Awesome?

    I was just vaguely aware of him, but I didn't really know the details of his platform. He seemed to be on the outside looking in.

    Steyer was and is a class a ********. He ran on one platform... impeach Trump. No one knows what else he stood for.
