Trump's Only Path Forward

Donald Trump's campaign depends on whether there are more terrorist attacks and police shootings in America. Such dire scenarios still may not be enough to win over a nervous electorate in November, but could push some swing voters toward his program of law and order at home and abroad. The reaction to Trump's speech from most commentators was that it was too "dark and gloomy" but if the next two months are like the previous two, the Trump policy might drive more people in the same direction evoked by Richard Nixon or the "dark side" conjured up by Vice President Cheney during the run-up to Iraq.
