so, there are 20 candidates for the Democratic nomination-WHY would other no named people jump in

Rachael is talking about people that are thinking about joining the race.

Why?

Seth Moulton? WHY?

Montana's gov ? Who? Why

Colorado rep? why

is it to get their name out? Is it to make money? Write a book?

....are running. Not saying they wouldnt be good, but they know they have no chance of winning the prez...but MAYBE winning a book deal or a coveted spot as a guest contributor on msm. Not saying this isnt good because then we at least get to have our fav candidate still on tv talking and making us feel good.
