... and he knows he's lost it. The minute he started buying into his own campaign's hype (polls show I can beat the Republicans better than Hillary can), he proved beyond a doubt that he is not qualified to be POTUS.

He's just keeping the delusion alive in order to keep the money coming in. I suspect that money will dry up far more quickly than he anticipates.

For example, this deal would gut environmental regulation, preempting local, state and national laws, forcing deregulation of toxic chemicals, fracking and food - down to the lowest common denominator between 48 countries.

This was the spot where he explained how him doing better in the primaries that allow independents to vote is relevant to how he would fare in the general election, since independents also vote there. Interesting, and true.
