As disclosed by that campaign worker who up and quit, Trump's intent was always to come in second in the nominating process, polishing his image and boosting his business along the way.
I'm convinced that he started down the road of these increasingly outrageous statements in an effort to lose the race. Little did he realize that his overt bigotry would be so well received by Republicans.
Now, he's been sitting at the top of the race for so long that he's decided he may as well play it out and possibly win the nomination. That said, I do not think he actually wants to be elected president. Not yet. He's still hoping for an out, with his looming loss to Hillary being his "get out of jail free" card.
Once it's all over, he'll concoct a story that all the overt bigotry was a ploy to get the RW racists to crawl out from under their rocks and expose themselves for the racists they are. "I've always been something of a liberal" will be his mantra of redemption.
After that, his primary goal is to get back on TV in a reality show.

(1,577 posts)I am certain now he thinks he will win the General and is so bulletproof nothing he says or does will stop the coronation.
THIS is why he is so dangerous and we must work together to stop him!

(130 posts)I dont believe Trumps run had any other purpose than eventually turning a buck.
Brokered GOP convention will mean tougher competition for the Dem nominee.

He wants to win.
