My question to Explainer

What does a "presidential exploratory committee" do? Is it just a euphemism for fund raising? A hedge so they can save face if a personal scandal or problem forces them to back out? Does anyone really think and "exploratory committee" will discover something that would make, say, Hillary Clinton, decide not to run for president?

Perhaps they're hoping to discover something that would prevent one of their opponents from running...
