I thought it was apparent from his answer in the debate that this is/was coming.

"I cannot say. I have to respect the person that, if it’s not me, the person that wins, if I do win, and I’m leading by quite a bit, that’s what I want to do. I can totally make that pledge. If I’m the nominee, I will pledge I will not run as an independent. But — and I am discussing it with everybody, but I’m, you know, talking about a lot of leverage. We want to win, and we will win. But I want to win as the Republican. I want to run as the Republican nominee."

ML: everybody focused on his refusal to take the pledge not to run, and nobody seems to have caught on that he specifically said he was negotiating behind the scenes
