If I were Trump I'd adopt a portion of Bernie's agenda for the debate - support single payer healthcare, net neutrality, higher capital gains taxes, climate action and a higher minimum wage. The moderates and Bernie guys would drop Hillary instantly, the alt-right / white supremacists would think he's just conning the Jew media, the evangelicals / gun nuts would still vote for him because Hillary is a gun-grabbing baby-killer, and the uninformed ducks/rmt group would still vote for him because he'd keep the Muslims / Mexicans / refugees / <insert boogieman> at bay. And none of them would care about Trump pulling off the mother of all flip-flops.
He'd win in a landslide with that strategy. But I suspect what he really wants is a captive audience for his new media venture, so he'll probably stick to saying outrageous things and grab more headlines.
