Trump is a jackass, but he's not THAT stupid as to think some of the things he is saying out loud will ever allow him to win the Whitehouse. The old-boy GOP establishment have commisioned the Don to act like an idiot (at least a bigger idiot than usual). Its already working. I don't usually watch The View, but I caught a couple of minutes today where they were basically having a pity party for some of the other "honorable" candidates that were being besmirched. So even the more liberal shows now are falling for it.

After Trump takes himself out of the running, followed by the next rung of slightly less crazy sounding clowns, candidates will be whittled away until they finally have someone to run against Bernie (or Hillary) who will look downright stable, Jeb or Mitt or someone else. Its a way that the majority of Republicans can go "whew for a minute there I though they were going to put up someone too extreme" Not realizing of course that whoever they elect will work from day one against their interests.
