Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, their terms each marked by moments of public mourning, delivered some of the best speeches of their times in public life at a memorial for the five Dallas police officers killed last week. “I’ve seen how inadequate words can be in bringing about lasting change,” Obama said somberly. “I’ve seen how inadequate my own words have been.” The pair appealed for unity and understanding, in a political climate where there’s been little of either. Their tone contrasted with Donald Trump’s, who on the campaign trail seemed to try to exploit those divisions for political gain._ Donald Trump’s _The Apprentice: Vice President_ edition will be holding its series finale this week—likely on Friday, according to Republicans familiar with the campaign’s plans. Trump held a joint rally with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence Tuesday, in which Pence was clearly auditioning for the job by restating his support for Trump and gleefully attacking Hillary Clinton. Other finalists are former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Pence seems to be the clear favorite of Trump’s team, and Pence confidants haven’t been shy about saying he wants the job, but the mercurial billionaire hasn’t let any sign of his thinking slip. Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has lost the New York [_Times_](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/13/opinion/donald-trump-is-right-about-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg.html?%5Fr=0) and the Washington [_Post_](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/justice-ginsburgs-inappropriate-comments-on-donald-trump/2016/07/12/981df404-4862-11e6-bdb9-701687974517%5Fstory.html)_,_ whose editorial boards each criticized her comments critical of Donald Trump. Taking aim against a presumptive party nominee in such political terms is unprecedented in the modern era, and has drawn across-the-spectrum critics who fear it will only increase the politicization of the Supreme Court. The Republican Party platform confirmed its conservative shift Tuesday, as it rejected every positive reference to LGBT issues, including specific mention of last month’s Pulse nightclub shooting and ISIS violence against gays in the Middle East. But the convention floor may see some last-minute drama on the LGBT front as backers of removing anti-same-sex-marriage provisions of the platform signed onto a minority report that would completely replace the platform for a shortened version that doesn’t have any language about marriage. But the conservative sponsors of that alternate platform are balking at their efforts being hijacked. Either way, Democrats are set to turn the issue into a wedge to win over younger voters come the fall. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus praises Trump’s evolving campaign. Trump will skip the NAACP convention. And Republicans want another Clinton email investigation.
