Feels like an Art of The Deal chess move, like the Romney-for-State thing. Act like you’re considering a neocon Deep Stater, then back off due to “inexperience” (of which Loserman has none).
If it happens, it would be extremely bad on many levels.
For people that are always using Art of the Deal as an excuse...you might want to read what the guy who actually wrote the book is saying about trump.
