I mean he is that stupid? Or is he really a racist?
Does he want to win the general? Or is he a nihilist who wants to destroy the GOP?
If he is sincere in his desire to win why does he not repudiate Duke?

Perhaps he is so stupid as to believe the majority of Americans are prejudiced and they don't care
if he welcomes the support of white supremacists.

He does not see how this will affect the general? I think Trump believes his own bullshit.

The only thing I know is he has no answers on how to accomplish anything he flaps his mouth about.

Trump is probably not looking past the primaries. I think the original purpose of his candidacy is to poke GOP in the eye and he has succeeded. I very much doubt if he has a plan or a strategy, just one long ego trip and I am amazed that a lot of people are taking this guy seriously. Of course, I do want him to be the GOP nominee.

I think you are probably right.
Makes one wonder if this was the plan all along to ensure a Clinton presidency.

That would make some sort of sense, although my confidence in anyone in politics ability to think that far ahead is at a record low.

Trump has paid the Clintons when he has wanted something on several occasions - they have a record of being accommodating to their large donors.

Whatever Trump is doing, it'd be for his reasons and nobody else's.

"I don't work for people. People work for me."

Personally, I think he wants to be president and will run in the general election, either as a Republican or an Independent.

He is pretty much paying his own way and that says a lot of things and IMO he is serious about running. That and the one thing I do like is nobody owns him. The part where they insisted he sign their loyalty pledge and now the dumbasses in charge's heads are exploding in frustration is great stuff.
You know, wouldn't all that ending up in court be big fun?

The Schadenfreude factor is amusing, but he remains the untrustworthty huckster that will say anything to make a sale. The people he knows are Koch dependent, let's just hand the country over to them.
