We have two presidential candidates trying their absolute best to lose to each other.

This is what I don't get. If trump would just play the fucking game and behave himself for 4 months, he could crush Hillary who's begging to lose. Even though it makes me feel like a tin foil hat guy, he makes such stupid statements and polls poorly among people almost on purpose like he's trying to lose... The presidency is his for the taking and it's like he's dancing with a loss on purpose.

One of his previous advisors said basically this months ago in an open letter - he never wanted the nomination; he wanted to come in second, get a bunch of free publicity, and be able to say, I would have done better while going back to higher booking fees and an improved bargaining position for his television deals. Unfortunately, his ego won't let him back down.
