Shit do you even CK2? That's one of the sanest things in those tv show prequels. It's marrying future king to his closes ally, lessening the power of the Lanisters on the throne by doing so, and creating powerful three clan alliance.

You'd have much harder time to explaining all that dwarf plot armour.

Robert hardly even talked to his son, and I doubt that he knew just how monsterous he really was. Sure he knew he was a bit twisted with the whole ''he cut out kittens from an alive mother cat because he wanted a kitten, and also to make his dad proud because he delivered kittens, or something'' to which Robert responded by beating him bloody and then I guess he just went on to think that Joff learned his lesson. Also he wanted to have his close friends, the Starks to balance out the power scale a little, otherwise the Lannisters would pretty much have a complete hold of him, if he married of ''his'' son, a ''half´' Lannister to a Stark, then the two vastly different families would be forced to cooperate. Robert trusted Ned with his life, he never trusted the Lannisters, he wanted his friend to be there to keep the Lannisters of his back. Which is why Jon Arryn became hand of the king, and why Ned became the hand after Arryn.

I don't think you've read any of this.

Robert was probably willfully blind to how much of a shit Joffrey was. And if he hadn't died and were still around to smack him when he acted out, he might not have been such a spoiled little shit.
