> Not everyone currently running for president is doing so because they believe they actually have a chance of becoming president.

A lot of people seem to miss this key detail.

These people have advisors, analysts, and so on. They know that their chance of winning is extremely slim. However they don't care because the entire point may be:

- VP slot.

- Increase public image in general (for future runs for house seats, book deals, TV appearances, speaking opportunities, etc).

- Pushing a specific political agenda into the debates.

And that's okay? They make a mockery of the Office when they treat candidacy as a PR platform. We shouldn't just accept that.
