Money seems to erode morality, as depicted by Humphrey Bogart in the classic movie, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, but Tom Steyer appears to be one of the few to overcome that human weakness and remain a good guy.

Let's hope no women step up to accuse him of sexual assault.

to laugh this guy out of office and the country.

Nothing gives him more pain that being laughed at.

Too bad they can't put a "plant" on Fox and Friends to jeer at him.

Attacking and applying constant pressure on the adversaries is the road to defeating them. He is certainly contributing to that strategy. While I don't favor impeachment (Pence/Ryan/Hatch, unless we retake at least the House in 2018), I'm happy to force them to devote resources to defense instead of attacking the Dem side. Long-term, that's a plus, and we need a lot more plusses.....

The Thugs could only be impeached IF we take back the House. That is a given.

Impeachment leaves it open for a potentially more effective Republican to get the White House.

Absofreakinglutely!!!

Perhaps there are good reasons why not, but I can't help but imagine what a collaboration of TS, Nick Hanauer and other, like-minded uber-rich could accomplish.

Look at what the Kochs (sic) have accomplished.
