Is the real reason for the large number of Dem Candidates a fund raising scheme?

Since the Trump administration cut out the shady backdoor contributions to the Dems, do they have to get creative?

They need the wealthy NY's to pony up, why else would a tool like DeBlasio enter the race?



quote:

* You can give $2,700 to a single candidate during an election cycle

* Any money left over after an election may remain in the campaign account or be transferred to a party account

* 3.95% of every donation made using ActBlue goes directly to the DNC. (hxxps://secure.actblue.com/pricing)

* So by the book, this game the DNC is playing allows you to donate $2,700, as of today, 23 times ($63K).

* Since only one candidate can win the primary, all unused funds will revert to the DNC.

Bernie will use his unused funds to buy another house.

It's less about money and more about data, which is the real currency

Former President Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday announced a new fund to support the eventual party's 2020 nominee.

Obama, in a DNC email, announced the creation of a "Democratic Unity Fund" that will go to support the party's nominee, as two dozen candidates vie for the party's nomination.

"I'm excited that the DNC asked me to announce a bold new effort: The Democratic Unity Fund. Launching today, the fund will be dedicated to electing our party's eventual presidential nominee and winning up and down the ballot in 2020," Obama said in the email.

"The Democratic Unity Fund is a promise that whoever earns our nomination, he or she will have a strong, united, and well-organized DNC ready to spring into action the moment the general election starts -- a DNC that's ready to lift us all to victory in November," he continued. LINK

they are doing it for selfish reasons. The candidates have large sway in how the money is spent.
Fly charter, stay in 1st class accommodations etc.

DNC is in an incredible amount of debt. Of course this is the reason.

No. The Democrats know that they will likely win in 2020.

They are posturing for running mate, cabinet positions, Ambassadorships, and the like once the front-runners gel.

This happens every time there is blood in the water.

If the Trump supporters weren’t so blind, they would see a huge bleeding whale right in front of them spewing orange blood all over the place.
