++The New York Times today presents "How Trump Profited on Failed Casinos" by Russ Buettner and Charles Bagli. This a full investigative report on how the Donald bankrupted his Atlantic City Casinos on purposed and walked away with millions leaving creditors, vendors and workers holding the bag.
++Paul Ryan has a hard time lately trying to explain his support for Trump. Charles Krauthammer in the Washington Post tries his best to defend Ryan but manages a full column on outrage on Donald Trump's utterances. He said Ryan really didn't have any good options.
++Eugene Robinson counters with "You can't be against Trump and for Trump". Gene deals with the "at least he's not Hillary "canard. Yeah, she has a political agenda and he has a personal agenda. Gene says we shouldn't let the GOP off the hook now that they say they are offended by Trump while fueling this rightwing anger during the entire administration of Barack Obama.
++Kimberley Strassel writes in the Wall Street Journal "Trump Can't Wing It Forever." Stroessel pays respect to what Trump accomplished but then rips into his campaign plans. Trump has no plans to raise the $1 billion necessary for his campaign. " I get so much publicity" and free airtime. His finance committee held their first meeting last week.
++Stroessel asks about his adar operation. He says he can reach20 million on social media. A fully staff campaign? He told the New York Times "Leaness is smart". He has 80 people total.
++Trump is in a race against a seasoned politician who commands a machine and is already savaging him daily. The media is in the tank for her. (I doubt it.)Mr Trump's supporters remain a minority in a fractured party he has as yet to unify.
++Stroessel says that campaigns exist to counter negative advertising . But the Clinton campaign has attacked Trump since April and the only counter was web ad blasting Bill Clinton for his sexual past.
++Stroessel says Republicans have spent millions and spent years waiting for this campaign but how comfortable are Republican voters with Trump's less than all-cylanders campaign.
++Michael Gerson , who could be a whole pamphlet against Trump by now, writes how "The party of Lincoln is dying". Michael Gerson deals with the whole issue of Republican leaders thinking theism situation is a normal political moment--a time for pragmatism, give-and-take,holding you nose and eventually getting past an unpleasant chore.
++ "..But it is not a normal political moment. It is one of the rare times--like the repudiation of Joe McCarthy, or the consideration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or the Watergate crisis--when the spotlight of history stops on a dingle decision,and a whole political career is remembered in a single pose. The test is here. Can you support, for pragmatic reasons, a presidential candidate who purposely and consistently appeals to racism? "
