I haven't read most of this thread, but here are a few thoughts on why it's not insane.
1. you never know if you have a shot until you try.
2. coattails
3. with all their money, spending it all in a few states will be overkill so it's better to spread it around and not seem like you're constantly advertising which can backfire at times.
4. he's actually trying to alter the playing field. He knows there are some democratic base voters he's going to lose, but by broadening the field, he may pick up a state or 2 he didn't think he could.
5. A lot of those states where he can't win supposedly won't cost a ton of money to have a small campaign in - he doesn't have to give each state equal attention to compete in each state.
