that does not mean he isn't saying this stuff with an eye toward 2016. He's not stupid and he knows everything he says and does between now and then will be what people remember most if and when he runs. So I'm sure he is pissed, but he's using it to try to pull the wool over people's eyes and distract people from all the shit he's done.
