THE NOTE: Whether or not Tom Steyer gets another DNC-qualifying poll by the Wednesday deadline, his candidacy is already showing signs of shaping the Democratic race for president, rickklein writes.

He may or may not crash the next debate -- and, in so doing, force one big stage into two smaller ones.

That has rankled candidates including Gov. Steve Bullock, who sees Steyer as trying to buy his way into the debates by dumping millions into early-state ads and -- irony alert --securing small-dollar donations. He has lapped the field in early spending, spreading a pro-impeachment message that may be easier to espouse for a coastal progressive than any committed moderate.

Trump suggested on Monday that next year, when the Group of Seven global economic leaders meet in the U.S., it might be on Trump's literal turf. The president is apparently considering hosting the international, diplomatic summit at his Miami golf course. Live on air, his reasoning sounded like a commercial for the place.

Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., confirmed on Monday that he's mulling a primary challenge to Sen. Ed Markey in 2020, potentially setting up the latest intraparty clash between the party's old guard and its next generation of leaders in the Trump era. And unlike former New York Rep. Joe Crowley, the 73-year-old Markey won't be caught sleeping. He's been preparing for a potential primary for more than a year, and has worked to bolster his progressive bonafides, collaborating with Rep.

rickklein Who?

rickklein his candidacy is not showing any thing unless you add in he has no support. He is not campaigning or is he looking to speak at any rally. Fake news trying to help is not working all he has is money

rickklein Ur 'story' fails to define in any way how he's 'shaping' the race. Unless u are focusing on the optics of a 2 session debate. Here we were hoping y'all would stop obsessing on the horse race..... BTW, can't say 'raising the ante for impeachment'. Not at same time u run vs prez

rickklein Sooner or later I’d like to hear him talk about the issues and not just how bad Trump is. We already know how despicable POTUS is!

rickklein Thelma & Louise.

rickklein 50 million dollars will do that.

rickklein Define 'looms' ... Lurks maybe. Looms, not so much. The man is an unhinged fool.

rickklein It reminds me that I don't want another billionaire as POTUS

rickklein ugh no please god no
