What they are doing now is test balloons. They just start hyping particular establishment candidates to see which ones and what framing works best.

Bernie has declined to rule out a run, and he is by far the most popular. Yet I don't think they even include him in the surveys. (Not that I'm saying he will/should run. Despite still being as sharp as ever, he is getting pretty old.)
