The Daily 202: Paul Ryan's Trump dilemma has gotten much, much worse

Trump's campaign may be "unified" but the Republican party is notDonald Trump has wasted half of the general election with nothing to show for it
There are two slightly overlapping efforts to get Donald Trump elected. There's that of Trump and his team, and there's that of the Republican Party. One would not be surprised to learn that members of the latter — folks who've run and won campaigns in the past — are a bit panicky. Trump's indifference to annoying his ostensible party is one thing, but his failure to run any semblance of a campaign is another thing entirely. Read More

Trump Seems More the Result of a Shift Among White Men Than the Cause of It
Many people believe that Donald Trump is about to remake the Republican Party.
His unconventional appeal among alienated working-class and middle-class Americans who are drawn to populism, nativism and protectionism — most of whom are white — has led to speculation that he is not just reshaping the party but possibly even expanding it.
The party is changing, but data from this election and the previous two suggest that some of the changes have little to do with Mr. Trump expanding the party. Mr. Trump may instead be helping Hillary Clinton expand the Democratic Party, reshaping his own party by shrinking it. Read More

Each week, Nate Cohn, The Upshot’s elections analyst, based in Washington, and Toni Monkovic, an Upshot editor in New York, discuss the 2016 race and post a lightly edited transcript of their written exchange. Read More
Trump just said he has a secret plan to win. In reality, he has no strategy.
As you’ve already heard, Donald Trump conducted an extraordinarily provocative interview with the Washington Post in which he refused to endorse Paul Ryan and John McCain and doggedly defended his attacks on the Khan family. Trump’s comments spread further alarm among top Republicans, who are now (according to reports this morning) privately talking about deserting Trump en masse (though there’s good reason to be skeptical that will happen).
But now the full transcript of the interview is up, and I wanted to highlight another revealing tidbit, in which Trump essentially said he has a plan to win the presidency by putting unidentified states in play, and he isn’t going to reveal which states they are because he doesn’t want to tip his hand.
