Building the war chest: The real reason so many Democrats are running for president

Does Eric Swalwell really believe he has a chance of winning? What does John Hickenlooper bring to the table that 23 other Democratic candidates do not? Have you ever heard of Wayne Messam? The answer to these three questions is likely “no,†which makes many of us ask another question: “Why are so many Democrats running for president?â€
Some think they can win. Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and a few others believe in their hearts they have a legitimate chance. Others are running for the sake of a potential future post. Cory Booker would make an interesting running-mate for Warren just as Bill de Blasio sees a cozy cabinet position in his future. But the biggest reason those with zero chance (most of the field) are running for the nomination comes down to one thing: Building their fundraising war chests.
