Trump is a good ploy though because he doesn't actually want to win. He can throw the match and the Clintons owe him for his help in clearing the field for Hillary, and he walks away more popular and powerful than before.

I suppose it's supposed to be cute and clever, but it's boring and obvious kabuki to me...especially with Team Hill screaming at the top of their lungs about how we have to save the country from an Ally of the Clintons.
