Trump reboot: ditch populism, adopt Republican platform, say Clinton is the crazy one
Donald Trump, sinking lately in the polls, is to “reboot” his campaign, writes the Wall Street Journal. Part of the issue for the New York businessman is that he has run his campaign much like his family business, with his grown children as his top counselors and surrogates.

There just are no words for this kind of devastation. My heart goes out to you, Japan.
That’s horrifying.
Also, though, kudos for the use of “flinders.”
Where do you start? Just start plowing it into a big pile then burn it? Only thing comparable is Hiroshima or Tokyo after the firebombings but even those didn’t have the masses of debris left over. Even Cologne and Dresden had brick structures still standing.
Unbelievable.
Is this actually damage strictly from the earthquake itself, or tsunami damage?
It looks like Tsunami damage. It looks like debris has been washed around, and not just like a bunch of buildings have collapsed. And the earth looks scoured, right up to the base of the hills.
No brick buildings.
