What ever happened to Tom Steyer?

When Tom Steyer promised to put $100 million into the 2014 elections Senate Democrats showed their enthusiasm and greed by staging an all night session to discuss climate change. Steyer's specific promise was he would raise millions from his wealthy friends and match up to $50 million out of his own pocket. Two good friends, Marion and Herb Sandler whose World Savings Bank figured prominently in the financial meltdown of 2009 managed to scrape together $1 million but that's about it. Goldman Sachs smeared 100 grand to NextGen Climate Action as did the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employee. Some jaybird from Fort Lauderdale kicked in 10 thousand and that is the end of the donor list.
Steyer has put $13.4 million into his PAC so as of July 21 the Democrats $100 million windfall looks a lot like $15 million.
