I don't know if "his strategy paid off" is correct - it seems to me that at one stage he wanted a way out and actually tried to fail, but the people just wanted him to go on. What's that quote about him shooting someone and that not mattering? He could well have been elected despite his strategy, not because of it.

> it seems to me that at one stage he wanted a way out and actually tried to fail Which stage was this? I mean sure there were plenty in the media quoting unnamed sources stating that Trump was going to quit any day now - for almost the entire duration of his campaign, in fact. There were also plenty of times when he went against conventional political wisdom and came out on top. I don't think that was him trying to throw the campaign, I think it's just a fact that he's not a politician and so he does things differently. Trump was always very clear that he was serious and that he planned to become president.
