I'm well aware that he is in character throughout the entirety of his show. And yes it is, for the time being, nothing more than a publicity stunt for his show/book...But from what it sounds like he's throwing his name in for real. What if he gets past the primaries?
What I'm saying is he wont get serious until he finds out what his chances are.
