      Vanity and money is my best guess. It's hard to say. His campaign is being run by our old friend Peter Daou, who is a genuine true believer I think. He was all behind Clinton in 2016, but had a massive change of heart to become more progressive in recent years (hence why we started calling him Chairman Daou)

      Maybe West thinks this is the best way to keep a progressive platform vocalized to the public absent a figure like Bernie Sanders. I don't think he's under any impression he'll actually win.
