Tom Steyer is Bernie Sander's biggest fan.

Total setup.

Trump got elected in part because he dominated the news cycle with conflict. Conflict sells.

Dems primary is boring and everyone has tuned out.

So let’s start a fight.

within an hour CNN had a panel of pundits discussing this exchange and everyone had the narrative established. TV doesn’t work like that. It was too fast. CNN knew it was coming.

Bernie did not.

actually, it does work that way....the pundits were assembled to run their
standard debate post-mortem and had this tasty morsel of non-news to
beat to death in the interest of clicks and views.

Agreed. It's their job to sit around waiting for something to pounce on. Like vultures.

If I didn't live in Tom Steyer's home state and wasn't so sick of his face and his commercials I'd feel sorry for him
