For Dems, Steyer is the 800lb gorilla in the room

Liberal billionaire Tom Steyer’s contributions to political campaigns reveals Democrats’ hypocrisy. The National Journal,

“Democrats have made casting conservatives as beholden to the ultra-rich central to their 2014 strategy, and that makes it awkward when a billionaire of their own puts himself front and center… Steyer’s persona, the skeptics feel, opens Democrats up to charges of hypocrisy, and leaves too much of the party’s profile in the hands of a man who has been popularly elected to exactly nothing… Others fear that Steyer, a wealthy environmentalist living in Northern California, plays into a decades-long GOP effort to paint Democrats as out of touch with working class America.”
