Just watched interview on MSNBC with Stephen Cloobeck. A word to the wise. [View all]

We keep bashing ALL billionaires at our own risk. We keep looking for the perfect at the expense of the good or better we risk a party divided and striving forever.

I recommend that DUers look for the stream of this interview. His position on taxes, GOP, others of the 1% is interesting. So is his comments about the radical left.

Here is his bio:
