I think part of it is due to the fact that Google has greater access to a broader audience. Not everyone will search Twitter for "Donald Trump" but they will certainly search Google - so Google is providing a way for the candidates to take advantage of what is already happening probably millions of times every day.

I also hope it will expand the conversation to longer formats... Twitter and Instagram are only worsening the "Soundbite Politics".

Isn't this more just a response to Twitter? People already find what the politicians are saying on their twitter feeds...
