1. Elegy for the anti-Trumps
A new poll showed most Republicans can accept Donald Trump as nominee. On Fox News another sign: journalist Megyn Kelly, who once held Trump to facts and figures, asked him about slippers this week.

4. A little help from a friend
Trump attended a fundraiser to relieve the campaign debt of Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor who endorsed him. Trump practiced raising campaign funds by mocking Christie’s weight.
Anyone at all
