Exactly What Is The Trump Expansion Plan?

As the Republican-primary race moves into the fall, Donald Trump is exhibiting signs of becoming, if not a conventional candidate, at least a better-organized one. “I have a much more traditional campaign than people think,” he told me on August 18, two days after his campaign released the first in a series of position papers he’s set to unveil.

The bar is low — anything beyond winging it would pass for a signal of a more traditional campaign. Trump knows this. His position paper, which calls for Mexico to pay for a border wall and America to eliminate birthright citizenship, is so extreme that it appears to mock the concept of position papers, which is partially the point. “I don’t think the people care about it, because they believe in me,” he said. Nonetheless, it has been treated with enough seriousness within the GOP that it has dominated the conversation for days, and Republican Establishmentarians who had once expected the Trump surge to peter out by Labor Day are now coming to terms with the candidate’s staying power and looking to the future with dread.

The left is more and more afraid of Trump. That should tell you something.
