He imagined he'd won the primaries and would be assured of being the party nominee.

His error was in thinking that the way to win the Presidency is to attempt to obtain Democrat votes using Democrat policies.

You actually have to find a wedge issue that you can drive between a Democrat special interest (or voting bloc) and the Democrat party while holding the Republican base.

Barry Goldwater made the discovery back in the 1960s that the American electorate does not follow a continuum of belief from Left to Right (like supposedly European electorates do). Rather we have a three dimensional bimodal saddle. There are two major poles around which the interests (economic, social, class, ethnic, religious, etc) cluster. We call the one Republican and the other Democrat.

The area in between the clusters is a THIN FRINGE, not a vast throng of independent voters waiting to be led. There is NO MIDDLE in our system.
