his campaign is superfluous. We already have a billionaire, and we already have candidates that share his positions.

who doesn't have so much to walk back and apologize for as the other billionaire does.

He's not a fool, and won't spend more money if he can't pull off a second place finish in NV and a first place finish in SC, but if he can do that, I can see us having a choice of Sanders, Steyer and Bloomie heading into the convention, Steyer just might look like the best choice for the superdelegates at that point. If he wins SC, it's because he was able to get African-American votes, and that may happen in a lot of Super Tuesday states. That's especially true if black journalists like Charles Blow can get their message across.

If Biden, Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Warren see their donations dry up after Super Tuesday, and Steyer is seen as still surviving, this scenario is possible.
