      1. Let's step back and ask: what the fuck was Trump thinking when he ran for President?

      2. Unless Trump knows nothing about politics he must have known that a presidential candidate will be subject to intense scrutiny.

      3. He knew his closest had more skeleton than a mad scientist's lab. His treatment of women. His finances. That stuff would come out.

      4. He must have known there was vast potential to embarrass his family and possibly even get himself in legal trouble.

      5. So: again: what the fuck was he thinking when he ran for president? That none of this stuff would come out?

      He thought he'd get 20 percent of the vote in early primaries, make a statement, get a convention speaking gig, get respect.

      7. @DouthatNYT's answer is a variation of "The Producers" theory of Trump, which I've toyed with since last summerhttps://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/784593673132597253 …

      8. Whatever the cause of his run, Trump is now genuinely trapped. Only way out is to lose but blame loss on someone else.

      9. As I understand it, it's too late for GOP to take Trump off ticket. That could only happen if Trump himself resigns. Is he likely to?

      10. I'm fairly confident Trump won't quit the race. He has too much ego & brand invested in it.

          11. Only way Trump can preserve his ego is to somehow lose in way he can blame someone else for:rigged system, Crooked HIllary, GOP sellouts

          Trump will present it as a "stab-in-the-back," like German right-wingers with the Dolchstoßlegende after the First World War

          He still doesn't think he's done anything wrong. He's proud of all this. He didn't think it would be a problem.

          To quit, he would need to admit wrongdoing and look weak. There is not enough dirty money the GOP could ever pay him to do that.

          I think he truly believes he is smarter than anyone and that rules don't apply to him. Dunning-Kruger effect as mental condition.
