Like when you do not really want to participate in some race, but somebody from your family or friends persuades you. At that point you won't go and lose on purpose, you will still go for the win.

I guess I still have to disagree.
This isn't like running a race, or going to dinner somewhere that you don't want to go or something like that. It is running for the office of he most powerful man in the world. If he were talked into it by his family I don't think he would have tried as hard as he did to win because then he would have to actually do the job.
I love my family, but if they told me they wanted me to commit 4+ years of my life running for office (because he never really stopped after the 2008 election) and if I won I would then have to do the hardest job in the world for the next 4 years I sure as hell would not try to do that.
I think he really wanted to win and I think this is his son's way of trying to blow it off.
