The Trump campaign lashed out at Gov. John Kasich of Ohio for refusing to support Mr. Trump. “He’s embarrassing his party in Ohio,” Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman, said at a breakfast on Monday morning, calling the decision “dumb.”

John Weaver, a strategist for Mr. Kasich, mocked Mr. Manafort and accused him of being “on the lam” with thugs and autocrats.

Party unity, it seems, will still take some time.

Donald Trump is in his moment of greatest triumph, but he seems more resentful and embattled than ever. Most political conventions are happy coronations, but this one may come to feel like the Alamo of aggrieved counterattacks.

It’s hard to know exactly what is going on in that brain, but science lends a clue. Psychologists wonder if narcissists are defined by extremely high self-esteem or by extremely low self-esteem that they are trying to mask. The current consensus seems to be that they are marked by unstable self-esteem. Their self-confidence can be both high and fragile, so they perceive ego threat all around.

Former President George W. Bush told aides he's worried he may be the last Republican to live in the White House, according to Politico.

He made remarks at an April reunion for staff of his administration that included former Vice President Dick Cheney, Politico reported.

"I'm worried," Bush told the group, according to Politico, "that I will be the last Republican president."


The remarks illustrate a divide between Donald Trump — the party's presumptive presidential nominee — and establishment figures like Bush nervous that Trump's brash talk will alienate future voters and preclude political victories.
