Billionaire Tom Steyer is trying to turn his biggest weaknesses into strengths in the Democratic presidential contest, saying his past experience managing a hedge fund makes him the strongest candidate to take on President Trump. Bloomberg has spent $117 million on ads since entering the presidential race on Nov. 24. “Is there a Hallmark card for such occasions?”Like Steyer, Bloomberg is a self-made billionaire who created jobs around the world. Stephen Henkhaus, a sophomore at the University of Iowa, was among a few dozen voters who took a picture with Steyer after watching him speak in Iowa City. Henkhaus saw Sanders when the senator came to Iowa City in October.
