Because he never actually really wanted to be president zebonaut May 2016 #4
There's a good chance that's so. It's an unintended consequence. RufusTFirefly May 2016 #9

Like a practical joke gone horribly wrong.

I think Trump was designed to make someone look reasonable, but frankly, I'm not sure exactly who. My initial guess would've been that he was designed to pave the way for Jeb!

We all know how well that worked out.

But perhaps they were looking toward the GE all along.

It's like Poppy Bush's choosing Dan "potatoe" Quayle.
Call it what it is: impeachment insurance.

She'll make trump look like he's coherent in contrast. Plus she'll back whatever idiotic thing he says without hesitation.

We're slouching toward stupid, folks.

Thank Dog that Trump's running against someone who's extremely likable, refreshingly consistent in her positions, completely incorruptible, and isn't plagued by any looming legal trouble!

Otherwise, we might have cause for concern.

He just wants someone he can tolerate having sex with on a TDY.
