Steve’s written about Democrat billionaire (who made much of his money off of fossil fuels, the hypocrite) who has spent millions on his NexGen college organizing outfit here and here. This is a follow on to those posts and could almost be a Blogline of the Day, sorta sideways:
“Most amusing: Tom Steyer, who’s been throwing fistfuls of money into social media advertising, gained fewer followers than last place Wayne Messam.”
And without searching for him, do YOU know who Messam is? This really a poor return on investment for Steyer who is campaigning as being better at business AND politics than Trump. While it is but a very small smidgen of the larger campaign but gee whiz! From the post:
13. Tom Steyer: 245,075 (up 276)
19. Wayne Messam: 8,599 (up 509)
I also liked this observation:
For reference, President Donald Trump’s personal account has 64,699,182 followers, up 1,133,230 since the last roundup, so once again Trump has gained more Twitter followers this month than all the Democratic presidential contenders combined. The official presidential @POTUS account has 26,750,341, which I’m sure includes a great deal of overlap with Trump’s personal followers.
