As you said, they thought it was a good strategy to optimize their chances at winning.

I didn't say that. I said it would hypothetically be an okay strategy. It's been illustrated many times by many people that Trump's primary victory was a surprise and an upset to the DNC, and additionally that his influences to run for president were likely not even from within the USA at all.
