That's exactly the reason that he's now actively looking for $1 billion in financial support for his campaign. He has said that he'd rather not have to sell any of his properties to finance his campaign. So much for the self-financing myth.

Trump's showing respect for the office by not buying it for himself and demonstrating that he does indeed possess qualification for the office by letting others buy it for him. A win-win from his campaign's perspective.

Hillary is already moving right, organizing an official "Republicans for Hillary" outreach program. Meanwhile, DWS is stacking the convention rules, credentials and platform committees with Clinton delegates to ensure that Bernie's influence over the party's direction is blunted.

Sanders might as well boycott the Democratic convention along with his delegates. Hillary can now be selected unanimously which has been the objective all along.
