      Michael Tracey Retweeted Nate Silver

      The election-industrial complex is so lucrative (and broken) that there’s every incentive for all these people to run, and very little downside. It’s why *George Pataki* ran in 2016. “Former presidential candidate” is a great label for “brand-building”https://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/1085553972428054528 …

      Michael Tracey added,

      It's also becoming clear how little of a deterrent effect the traditional frontrunners (Biden, Bernie), and to some extent also the nontraditional ones (Harris, Warren, Beto), are having on the field. Nobody's intimidated by anybody and pretty much everybody is running.

      Some may ask: "Didn't the 2016 campaign blemish people like Christie and Jeb?" Answer: whatever else occurred, they raised their national profiles -- which results in media gigs, book deals, high speaking fees, a national network of supporters, and so forth. So it all worked out.

          Agree on the larger point but in the case of Jeb and Christie specifically the 2016 election destroyed their brands.

          It destroyed Jeb brand but not really Christie. Christie brand was destroyed by Bridge gate trials independent of the election. In fact he performed well with that New Hampshire viral drug addiction speech and his owning of Rubio in a debate. Jeb was totally emasculated by Trump

          Don't forget, Jeb! also became mythologized in a million memes. He can put that one on his tombstone.

          Which is why we need to make private financing of elections a felony in America. Good luck with that.

          The alternative is 2016 (un)Democratic Primary. It’s often that elections with only a few candidates have been corrupted one way or another. More candidates give people more choices
