And should he get the nomination and then win , he can pardon himself. (Really don't know but can't think why he couldn't)

Well, Trump was based there for 36 years…
Pretty sure he couldn’t "self pardon", or else Nixon would have…

The last time the Justice Department explored the question was in a 1974 memo by a lawyer in its Office of Legal Counsel that concluded that it would be unconstitutional for then-President Richard Nixon to pardon himself. Nixon resigned that year amid the Watergate political scandal.
“Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon himself,” the Justice Department lawyer wrote.
But the memo argued that Nixon could temporarily step down, be pardoned by his then-vice president, and then resume power. The 1974 memo does not have any legal authority.
Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, not state crimes.
