That is a possibility. I posited two theories on this at a conference a few months ago. Trump is either attempting to move the center line so far to the right that he makes Rubio and Cruz look like moderates, or he is the Manchurian candidate for the Clintons and doing everything he can in his power to make Republicans un-electable. One thing is certain, he is going to get a massive pay day out of this when it all comes to an end. The money in the numerous super pacs supporting his cause will go to Trump as soon as he ends his campaign. Sadly, thanks to Citizens United, we will never know how much that is or where the money came from.
