Early Returns: Dresses, Divides and Trump's Chances

[Bloomberg View] [Jonathan Bernstein's Early Returns] A daily round-up of superb political insights Jul 27, 2016 [bloomberg.com/view] 1. Bethany Albertson and Shana Kushner Gadarian on [fear and the 2016 election]. 2. Julia Azari at FiveThirtyEight on the Democrats’ [Trump-centric platform]. 3. Ariel Edwards-Levy and Natalie Jackson at the Huffington Post have new data on the [divided Republican Party]. 4. Sean Trende argues that [Donald Trump could very well win]. I think the numbers still don’t look especially good for Trump, and I think the jury is still out on whether Hillary Clinton turns out to be a “damaged” candidate or not -- but Trende is arguing against those who just dismiss the possibility Trump could win, and he’s correct to do so. 5. Andrew Sprung looks carefully at [Michelle Obama's speech]. 6. Jaime Fuller celebrates the [roll call of the states] at the party conventions. 7. And Vanessa Friedman at the New York Times on [Michelle Obama’s dress] Monday night. Yes, I know, no one wrote about what Bill Clinton wore, but never mind that and read this now.
