Cannon: Trump wants to lose
Carl Cannon at Real Clear Politics:
Let’s call this more reflective subconscious entity “Don Trump.”
Donald Trump loves winning and hates losing, while Don Trump knows that running a smart campaign and beating Hillary Clinton means he’d inherit a job he has neither the qualifications nor the temperament to perform successfully. Don Trump wants to lose. He wants this campaign to be over so Donald Trump can go back to doing what he’s good at: promoting his personal brand and counting his money.
To me, that’s the best explanation for the loony “Mexican” judge comments and other unforced errors Trump has made since clinching the Republican presidential nomination. A man who wanted to win this election wouldn’t make these mistakes…
I will confess that there is another likely possibility.
Perhaps “Don” Trump doesn’t really exist, and Trump is The Donald all the way down to his subconscious. In that case, the explanation is that Trump simply cannot help himself: He’s so narcissistic and needy and thin-skinned that he must lash out at those he perceives are against him—while thinking he can be president anyway.
I like Don Trump better than that guy. I’m even betting on him.

Of course, he does!
There’s not much money in it.
It’s well below his usual conman pay grade.
And he can get impeached in the first few months in office for being a stupid conman with well below par knowledge of what governing really is.
He’s just a male-Palin version with a bit of money claiming he’s very rich but too afraid to show his tax returns.

I think he has been trying to lose for awhile but every time he says something stupid, his followers support him even more. I guess that is what happens when you pander to hate-filled victims who are “poorly educated”.

That’s Dr. Ablow quality analysis there, I tell you what. “He doesn’t want the most famous political job in the world.” The most publicly known blowhard and braggart in politics? Now pull the other leg.
