Trump sounds like Hillary passionately arguing with herself while trying to deceive herself.

Maybe. To me, Trump sounds like a guy who is about to make big donors an issue in this campaign.

Trump will turn this into a liability for the GOPe candidates so fast it’s going to make them breathless. He’s never going to get Hedge Fund/CoC support while he’s not bought, and right now they are backing Jeb and a cast of supporting characters. Trump can make this an issue, make the public aware of who has paid for these SuperPACs,
and then renounce that money and insist he’ll only take money from small donors. Who do you think wins in a pitch to Joe Sixpack for ten, fifty, a hundred bucks, Trump or Jeb?

At that point, if you are GOPe, what do you do? Admit you are bought and paid for and take the PAC money, or enter a true popularity contest with a guy who will have far more small donors and a vast fortune to spend on a campaign.

This is going to be interesting to watch.
