No Shaun, they're all running on the DNC's order to syphon votes away from Bernie, period.
At this point, it's abundantly clear that most of these people running for President are running because they want to be heard on the national stage - not because they think they can win. It's gotten to the point of just being weird.https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1123926386387881987 …

I think it's a larger effort to
#FloodThField & dilute Bernie's support & force a 2nd ballot. I still think#whackamole will attempt another power grab. No coincidence all candidates are in contact with Hillary.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Or because they're trying to dilute/split/divide the vote for
@SenSanders. Political gamesmanship distracts attention from the pressing needs of ordinary Americans in an increasingly unequal and dog-eats-dog society. -
sanders voters are pretty ride or die so i don’t see us splintering that much. i think vote splitting is a problem for the rest. that said if they manage to keep sanders to a plurality then superdelegates get to decide then biden or some centrist.

and even weirder is how most will be saying exactly the same thing. some form of -“means tested pathways to innovation and entrepreneurial zone tax advantaged savings accounts for some by 2065” or “the sameness of our freedom values are not equal to the division of differences”.

It's almost as if they'd been handed their lines at CAP meeting.

Isn’t this a strategy to split up the votes enough that the dnc can just crown whoever they want at the convention?
-
Yes.

I personally think its to try to get as much money from donations to their campaigns as possible
-
Another reason, I agree. Many things. Distraction too. I think looking at policy is important, and along that, not just overall promises, but plans and their viability to be executed by say candidate and supporters in office.
-
Agree with the distraction there are many more people running that we haven’t heard of and know about

It's called "rigging the primary," Shaun. Make sure those Superdelegates kick in.

They get one viral clip off cspan and launch a campaign. They're either ridiculous or trying to create an open convention because no one gets a plurality of votes.

I was also wondering. Is it to raise their national profile? Does it work? To what end? Or are they angling for a VP post?
