Or maybe he thought he’d win well enough without having to pay for some advice but discovered otherwise, which is why he finally hired some experts.
If he had just made the effort, he wouldn’t have lost so many delegates. Why risk an brokered convention when you don’t have to?

You just refuse to face and publicly acknowledge reality. There are plenty of voters and delegates who would and/or did vote for Trump, but the GOPe used a variety of fair and foul tactics to make sure those votes and delegates were never going to be allowed to proceed forward into the conventions. Trump and his handlers doubtless expected something like this to occur, and they just as likely recognized they would not be able to effectively intervene to stop what the GOPe wished to accomplish. Rather than act with futility, Trump and his handlers likely waited until the GOPe actually did something improper to give the Trump campaign the excuse to win sympathy from voters in other states at the expense of the candidate being backed by the GOPe.In other words, if you can’t stop the dirty tricks, wait and scream bloody murder against the offender to turn the voters against the perpetrators.
When Trump realized he would need the delegates, he decided on the route of destruction poison the well once again it is what he does.
Everytime someone get close in this election he does a personal attack, in this case the object was the system because his last personal attack on Cruz’s wife backfired on him.
