Dallas was not a nominating convention. Nobody left with a running mate. They left with a two-day reminder that the man whose name is not on the ballot still thinks he is the ballot.

Wednesday night in Dallas he made it simple. If Republicans keep the House and the Senate on November 3, every adult citizen gets $5,000. He called it the Trump dividend. Spend it here.

Dunkirk took nine days to pull 338,226 soldiers off a beach in 1940. On September 11, 2001, roughly 800 mariners on about 150 boats moved as many as half a million civilians off the south end of Manhattan in about nine hours. Ferries. Tugs. Dinner boats. Pilot boats.
