Trump is done, said Republican operative Jim Dornan, who advised the New York businessman in the preparatory stages of his campaign last year. Barring something completely out of the blue, like Hillary being involved in a murder, I dont see how he wins.

I bet if someone offered him $150 million to drop out, he would, one former Trump adviser told POLITICO, unprompted, during an interview Friday.
Asked about whether Trump would drop, another former Trump adviser, Jim Dornan said he believes the presumptive GOP nominee would cut a deal. Yeah, probably, Dornan, a veteran Republican operative who worked for Trump last spring on an abortive effort to set up a super PAC, replied via text message adding there would be plenty of interest in buying him out. The Kochs would be the first in line.
Trump himself says its a ridiculous proposition and that hes not a fan of the question.
This story is a total fabrication from you and POLITICO, as usual, the New York billionaire said in an email sent by his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. I will never leave the race, nobody has enough money to pay me to leave the race, and if they did, it would be totally illegal anyway. Did Obama and the Clintons get you to write this garbage?
