I have never said he 'was above the fray'.   That is something you have invented.  

I am only saying that he hasn't been bought and paid for like Hillary---yet.  

And the hundreds of millions spent by the 1% to prevent his nomination and prevent his election may very well be re-directed by them to cut deals for themselves with him and his appointees.  They might even support him in four years for re-election  instead of trying to buy a new Democratic nominee.
