Trump bumped?
Ducking The Donald
By FRANK BRUNI, NYT
Donald Trump and self-doubt: a proper noun and a human reality that have no business in the same sentence.
To be The Donald is to possess The Confidence. It’s to revel in your own appeal. That hair, that birtherism — who could resist? Certainly not the Republican Party, at least not in The Donald’s objective estimation. So when the first round of speakers for the party’s late August convention leaked out Sunday and he wasn’t on it, he fretted not a whit. In due course he would surely get his summons to participate.
“I know they want me to,” he said on Monday on “Fox and Friends.” “I’ll see what happens.”
So will we. The giddy excitement of Convention Season is here.
The Republicans go first, in Tampa, while the Democrats follow a week later, and just as humidly, in Charlotte. In the matter of convention sites, neither party gave much thought to global warming.
