At the same time where does his core have to go to? When the Bernie or Busters busted, they at least had Jill Stein from a progressive perspective, and (sadly) Trump from an anti-establishment perspective. Trump supporters aren't going to Stein or Johnson, and we know Hillary is out. So what do they have after that? Staying home I guess, but I suspect Trump has correctly calculated he won't lose much core support so long as he remains opaque about his intentions. They can try and delude themselves that he's wink-winking to them and that he's lying to minorities.
