DRIVING THE CONVERSATION: “Inside Donald Trump’s Last Stand: An Anxious Nominee Seeks Assurance” by Maggie Haberman, Ashley Parker, Jeremy Peters and Michael Barbaro: “Aboard his gold-plated jumbo jet, the Republican nominee does not like to rest or be alone with his thoughts, insisting that aides stay up and keep talking to him. He prefers the soothing, whispery voice of his son-in-law… His polished older daughter, Ivanka, sat for a commercial intended to appeal to suburban women who have recoiled from her father’s incendiary language.
