All the $$$ Steyer put into Nevada... and his numbers collapsed

He went from 15-20% in polls to 8% in pop vote in Nevada.

That should be a strong signal for him to get out of the race.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

The DNC damaged his campaign for real the way that Bernie pretends they damaged him in 2016.

when you outspend the field by 10 to 1 in Nevada, and come away with 8% and 0 delegates.... the message from the voters is that you aren’t wanted.

Not a good place to invest a candidate's money. Steyer will probably do much better in SC and on Super Tuesday.
Don't understand why Democrats don't support our best candidates like Tom Steyer.

The public has rejected him. He should take the hint.

Caucuses disinfranchise far too many voters and candidates and must be abolished before the next elections.
