| Tom Steyer 2020 Organizers |
His now three year campaign, calling for Donald Trump's impeachment, is also self-funded.
The Tom Steyer 2020 organizers pictured above, six African-Americans, one Hispanic and one Anglo, are part cheerleader, part psychologist, motivating from the podium, then mixing among the supporters with a more personal touch.
The Steyer supporters, numbering about fifty from eight states, all flown and accommodated by the campaign, were split into two shifts in order to promote Steyer on a street corner adjacent to the debate site.
Four street corners were populated by the Steyer, Biden, O'Rourke and Trump campaigns. A small group representing Elizabeth Warren set up just a few feet away from the Steyer group.
When the Steyer group started pro-Steyer chants with some power, the much smaller Biden group tried gamely to respond, but were no match for the R&B-sounding Steyer group.
Directly across to our left were two groups representing the President, "Gays for Trump" and the "Army of God," dressed in camouflage, carrying guns.
When I approached the apparent leader of the "Army of God," he explained that they were true believers in God and Trump, then walked off.
It was a raucous afternoon before the debate with a heavy police presence. Drones flew overhead, while airplanes towed campaign slogans across the sky. Motorist honked in appreciation, mostly at the Steyer people. A large semi-truck with a sign "Truckers for Wang" kept going back and forth, honking.
Steyer has no chance. Not a front-runner at all. Did you try Biden, or Warren or Butti? Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteSteyer has been rising fast. Now 5th in early state Iowa in the recent Iowa poll, he's at 7% right behind Butti at 8%.
