A news report this morning says that Mr. Donald Trump is thinking seriously about breaking with tradition at the upcoming Republican national convention: He may speak all four evenings.
Good grief. If this doesn’t demonstrate the fact that Trumpism is a weird political personality cult, that it’s an American instantiation of the Führer-Prinzip, that it’s all about The Leader, I’m not sure what would.
And, the report said, Mr. Trump wants to make the convention a better show than it has traditionally been. Oh boy. There was already precious little of Madison and Lincoln in the traditional political convention, so let’s make it more like Atlantic City and the Vegas Strip! Like . . . well, one of Mr. Trump’s casinos!
But there’s more:
“Trump’s Race Problem is Now the GOP’s”
“Why the ‘Mexican Judge’ Moment Matters”
“GOP Sen. Mark Kirk: I Cannot Support Donald Trump”
“The Decisions of Judge Curiel”
Hugh Hewitt has been saying that we must unite behind Mr. Donald Trump. He’s now backed away from that:
“Conservative Radio Host Hugh Hewitt: RNC Must Dump Trump”
“Is Donald Trump Doing to Republicans What Zachary Taylor Did to the Whigs?”
