      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

      12. I almost (almost!) have pity for the GOP. They are handcuffed to a desperado, who has no loyalty & doesn't care if they die.

          Yeah. If he won the nomination despite GOP opposition that would be something. But they endorsed him, the fools.
