    Loser playbook #1: If you're going to lose, just say you didn't want to win in the first place.

    Losers lose.

    Eight years from now, we're all gonna get a big belly laugh when Trump in a nostalgic end of run interview gloats, "Ya know?... Funny thing is... I never really wanted this job."

    I read a couple books about Reagan several years ago. One of the things I liked about him was that he didn't aspire to be president, and had to be pressured and harangued by others in the GOP to run for president. Kind of like what Race said, it's preferable to someone who is desperately crazed for power.

    Didn't aspire so much that he ran four times. But still.

    He ran in '76, '80 and '84 for reelection.

    I didn't know that. It's a red herring argument you're making, but nevertheless I learned something there.

    Trump doesn't want to be president because his shit has to go into a blind trust. Now that he's in the lead, his power crazed ego is taking over.
