How much would Adelson, the Kochs, Romney, and the GOP pay Trump to

drop out at the convention and let someone else not too badly damaged in the GOP primary run in the general? 50 million each? 100 million each? Could Trump actually USE HIS POSITION AS PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE TO MAKE A CRAPLOAD OF MONEY? Wouldn't that be just like Trump? Isn't that what he does? Woudn't that let Trump avoid the risk of becoming a general election loser?

Is he in a position to demand whatever he wants??

Wouldn't this conform to Jeb's theory that you have to not win the primary in order to win the general?

and may be making a profit so far.

He had donated about $250,000 of his own money, but the rest was loans from himself and donations, and he makes a lot of that back by hiring his own companies to do everything for the campaign, so, with payback and interest=profit.

Here is a Trump quote “It’s very possible that I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it.” (Fortune, April 3, 2000)

kids have taken over the business, and he finds himself irrelevant. Running for Prez has given him a purpose in life.
