I fully expect the Democratic nominee to fall in line when the platform moves to a national stage.
Donald Trump made me chuckle the day he said, "Running for President is really hard / hard work." I don't remember whether he said work after hard. The politics of the office surprised him. I think he has gotten used to it now, but, when he first started he was a new world.
That probably is true of most any candidate for the Presidency. They are running for President for the first time. There is only one USA President and a candidate only achieves the office twice, initially and re-election. I don't believe any candidate for the office is a Pro.
In some cases the candidate has run many times, but, they aren't frequently elected. Obviously. But, the one candidate that has the most man hours in this category would be the Libertarian candidate, former Governor Gary Johnson (click here).

Tom Barrack, a Los Angeles real estate investor, said in an interview with CNN on Thursday that the group has already received $32 million in financial commitments. The group is called Rebuilding America Now, according to documents filed with federal regulators.
Like other super PACs, the new group will be able to accept unlimited amounts of money from wealthy donors, but won't be permitted to take directions from the candidate or his campaign.
There already are several super PACs backing Trump, but none is seen as having the blessing of his campaign. That potentially could cause confusion for donors who want to be convinced that they're giving to a group that Trump himself sees as helpful to his cause.
Another complication: Trump has repeatedly condemned all super PACs as "corrupt."...
