Why is Seth Moulton still running for president?

With his campaign barely registering in the polls, Moulton wasn’t on any of the debate stages to make this case. Barring an unprecedented upheaval in the race, Moulton won’t be the Democratic presidential nominee. So what is he doing?

At multiple points in the conversation, unprompted, Moulton brought up his efforts to help other veterans win seats in Congress. Moulton is clearly passionate about both seeing national security stay at the forefront of the national conversation and having the voices of his fellow veterans involved in that discourse. His campaign is a chance to do that. And, of course, running for president could also be a springboard to something else for the congressman.

One source close to Moulton said they would hope his focus on national security issues and foreign policy has caused some of the other candidates to take notice of Moulton. With his platform and military experience, the source said, Moulton would be a “natural” choice for a few Cabinet-level positions in another Democrat’s White House, including secretary of state, defense or veterans affairs and ambassador to the United Nations. Moulton, who is 40 years old, is one of the younger candidates, and the source said that could also make him an appealing running mate.

Moulton’s national-security-focused campaign could be seen as something of a personal passion project designed to elevate both his stature and an issue he genuinely cares about. But Moulton also argued the issue provides a path for Democrats to defeat President Trump. He describes national security as the area where Trump is “weakest” and seems eager for other candidates to share his focus on the issue.

1. Why? For the same reason he led the putsch against Pelosi -

An ego only exceeded by his chronically poor judgment.

2. Yup

If he thinks this is going to help him if a Senate seat becomes available in Mass, he's wrong. Joe Kennedy would run for any available seat and beat Seth. He's going to be primaried this time around and may lose his house seat.

3. We can only pray!

I can't stand Seth.
