The polls suggest Donald Trump got something of a bounce from their convention. Pat Toomey. In a recent op-ed piece, Toomey wrote about conservative ideals and how they compare to Trump’s rhetoric, writing in part: “There could come a point at which the differences are so great as to be irreconcilable”.

Mr. Trump looks to be returning the favor. Buffett asked the cheering crowd. “You’re only afraid if you’ve got something to be afraid about”. “The Democrats are trying to turn this into a referendum on Trump”.
