I've said all along I don't think he ever intended to get this far and has no interest in doing the job (winning yes working no)
He has made it very clear that his excuse is "rigged system"
It's harder to sell that in a landslide but if he loses in a close election it's all he will ever talk about to brand build for a very long time
"I tried to save this country but it's all rigged but look how far I got I am such an amazing man blah blah blah here buy a Trump tote bag"
Ya from the time that Kasich offer got leaked I've been convinced he's trying to brand the office. He'd have no more activity in the whitehouse than he does in the Trump Steaks home office or the Trump University board of directors meetings. He wants to be the face on the package so his other products get a boost, while handing unprecedented power to the VP.
The only consolation of this is that if Trump_Pence pull off the upset Pence will be president instead of Trump.
Honestly I feel that all of this has been talked about behind closed doors with prominent republicans, including Paul Ryan, which is why Trump is tolerated. Because if the GOP can win using this man as a draw to the party they'll sit a moderate in office who will get the cooperation of congress.
How else, besides a polarizing political system, can we explain people like Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, and John McCain coming over? When they were actively mocked by Trump?
