Trump’s big waste

Donald Trump says that if he loses the election, he is going to consider the race for the presidency to be a big waste of time and money.

I thought that devotion to the country and its people and one’s belief that one’s policies would be in their best interest would be foremost in a candidate’s mind. Instead of being concerned about wasting time and money, shouldn’t a candidate be terribly distressed by having disappointed his or her followers by being unsuccessful in making political views and policies resonate?
