They can't fulfill their campaign promises and they won't get elected if they didn't make them.

People are stupid. They want the sweet lies even knowing that they're lies. If a candidate said "I'll try to do X but since that's mostly up to Congress then in reality I'll maybe get 50% of X done" then nobody would vote for them.
