I think you are underestimating him and selling him short. Trump knows what he's doing. The way he manipulates interviews, sound bites, twitter, camera angles, debates, the media, etc is remarkable. No one knows what to do with him, because he's operating on a whole 'nother level.
His "bizarre stunts and many glaring missteps"? How has he misstepped? How have they cost him? The guy is the Republican nominee. He can say literally anything he wants and he has. He has "binders full of women" type incidents hourly. To call his success "accidental" is to totally ignore what he is actually doing.
Obviously the guy is a disaster and a db of the highest order, but he is brilliant in his strange, disturbing way. Very hard to imagine him winning the presidency, but it's definitely possible. Landslide democratic win? Maybe. Hopefully. My guess is it'll be closer than we think.
