... best as a dynamic, energetic candidate of ideas who was trying to extend the party's boundaries. Yet, like almost everything else in this primary, the perception of him got funneled through the prism of Bernie and Medicare4All. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

And yet, by the spring he was effectively forced to run as an electability/compromise candidate because he didn't back immediate implementation of a full-fledged single-payer system. And even if he had good arguments re: electability front, always struck me that he'd be ... — PolitiTweet.org

on a more serious note, assuming these polls are not some kind of wild outlier, the challenge for Steyer becomes whether he can maintain that support when A) other candidates start spending more in SC/NV B) he finishes, as expected, a distant 6th/7th/8th/9th in IA/NH — PolitiTweet.org
