In order to get Trump to leave, they'll need to pay him off

Just musing here, but for some reason, I think the only thing that will get the Orange Menace to quit his campaign is lots and lots of money. Money is the one thing he loves more than his reflection.

The RNC could raise the funds from wealthy donors and use that to pay him off.

It always seemed he was never serious about winning, but just in it for money and attention.

We hope they don't dump tRump in time, or at least not at a time or in a way that garners a bandwagon rush to a substitute candidate.

Looky here! Our new improved candidate is only 70% loony and 60% stupid!

He would like to erase $650 million in debts, including whatever he owes to Russian oligarchs (mob). They will not be pleased if their investment does not pay off.

It might be worth it to the Koch brothers to open their wallets. I doubt that it would be tax deductible, however.

Of course, if it ever were found out that he caved for money, his "enthusiastic" supporters might turn on him.

In that event, he might be better off taking his chances with the Russian mob.
