Why would anyone want to commit to someone who might not win and take themselves out of the opportunity to serve for the winner ?

Let's say Nadar agrees to be AG for Elizabeth Warren. Pretty certain at that point he wont be offered the position by anyone else.

Great if she wins, but no good for him if she drops out of the primary after the first few states & then someone like Kamala Harris for example is the winner
