The Donald Evolves
David Harsanyi at the Federalist thinks the first Republican debate was awesome. I agree. The field looked strong all the way down to Carly Fiorina on the JV team.
Then there’s The Donald. He refused a pledge not to pull a Ross Perot if doesn’t win the nomination. Why give up the leverage, he reasoned. Makes sense I guess. And he said he made Hillary attend his wedding by giving her money. Also believable.
When asked how he came to change his views on taxes and abortion he said he evolved.
Kasich Boots Texan For Fox News Debate

McCain Trump Term of Endearment
John McCain called Trump’s supporters “crazies”. He now says it was a term of endearment. At least he didn’t call them “whacko birds“.
The Donald stepped in it when he hit back with his own term of endearment questioning McCain’s war heroism. He said McCain was a hero for getting captured. “I like people who weren’t captured.”
Now everybody hates him. Except the poll voters.

Trump has moved to the top of one poll for the Republican nomination. Establishment Republicans are not happy with The Donald. Peggy Noonan’s approach is that “sometimes an ill wind feels like a breath of fresh air”.
