Is Trump the only one actually seeking the people's votes for the 2016 Republican nomination?

Trump is clearly seeking the Republican nomination in 2016.

Kasich seems to be running for VP; he's in the race, but with zero chance of winning so what is his motive?

Carson seems to be running to promote book sales or to obtain a FauxNoise show; he's in the race without any path toward the nomination and yet he's not budging from the race so what is his motive?

Cruz seems to be running to set himself up as the teavangenical front-runner for 2020; he's smart enough to know that he cannot knock Trump off from the pedestal and -- even if he could -- Rubio would beat him to the top and yet he's showing no signs of backing off so what is his motive?

Rubio seems to be running to set himself up and the establishment front-runner for 2020; he's attacking Trump in a way that dispels the possibility that he wants to be Trump's VP and he's not focusing in on any state as if he plans on winning that state and he cannot win the nomination without winning any states so what is his motive?
