Of course we come up with all these ideas because we assume he must know what he is doing. Maybe he is just unhinged.

Another theory could be that whilst he would like to win he may not care too much if he loses. There were comments from 'insiders' during the Primary campaign that he ran as a publicity stunt, that he would run over last Summer only to drop out early this year. However his natural flair for reality television worked too well and his outlandish statements to attack media attention also won him votes. Either way if he doesn't mind losing it then that might explain why he feels unable to take advice and why he didn't prepare for the debate.

I just don't think he has the drive, intelligence or temperament to be President. Presidents are authoritative and calm figures. They don't tweet about sex tapes or mock veterans. In modern times at least they don't make disparaging comments about other genders and races.
