And his hope then becomes hoping for a Hillary meltdown or Wikileaks/Russia miracle.
While he obviously has to try do something, I suspect it's more likely he'll end up alienating more than he stands to gain. His whole thing is being "not like those other politicians". If he loses that, he's got nothing.
