Want to invest in America? Former Donald Trump adviser says candidate might drop out for $150M

Rebellious Republican delegates are trying to figure out how to change the convention rules so they can make a last-stand revolt against Donald Trump's presidential nomination in Cleveland next month.

They might be better off passing the hat among all their friends.

On Friday, Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger tweeted that a "former Trump adviser" speculated that a big payday would convince the presumptive GOP nominee to abandon his unusual campaign and go back to real-estate deals and reality TV.

Via email, @mcuban tells me he thinks Trump would drop out for $5 billion. Considers $150 million too paltry https://twitter.com/SchreckReports/status/743896479174172672

I don't know what's sicker. Him becoming President, or him being paid 5 Billion dollars not to.
