Good Thursday morning. It's 11 days to Cleveland, 18 to Philly, and 124 to Election Day.

WEST WING MINDMELD: President Obama's announcement yesterday that he'll leave 8,400 troops in "precarious" Afghanistan until the end of his term - an admission that he won't end the war - is recognized by the political aides as a failure to meet a 2008 campaign goal. It's a short list, including Gitmo, and Iraq. But, ZING: All three are Bush legacy issues - the fallout from decision-making in 2001, 2002 and 2003. The national security side of the house says this move was absolutely essential. The situation isn't stable. We broke it, we bought it.

GAIL COLLINS' suggestions for a Hillary "turnaround": "Send Bill home. ... Hold a news conference every week. Take a hard position, just because." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=2de6b37c82c125393a23cb45885d6a7368cf4b32d90d490c60b38b753f502099

EPIC TRUMP RANT - N.Y. Times p. A16, "In Defiant, Angry Speech, Trump Defends a Post Seen as Anti-Semitic," by Maggie Haberman, Michael Barbaro and Jonathan Mahler: At a rally in Cincinnati, "an often-shouting Mr. Trump breathed new life into a controversy that was sparked ... by his posting ... a six-pointed star next to a picture of Hillary Clinton ... Trump deleted it two hours later, and replaced the star image with a circle. '"You shouldn't have taken it down,"' Mr. Trump recalled telling one of his campaign workers. 'I said, "Too bad, you should have left it up." I would have rather defended it. ... That's just a star' ['They (the media) are racially profiling.'] ...

"It was a striking display of self-sabotage ... and underscored the limitations of Mr. Trump's scattershot approach during the Republican primaries - not to mention how difficult he often makes it for his campaign team to control him." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=2de6b37c82c12539a35b5d40bfeb8471b88b952045eb95ecf0c2039e42fe1e28

--MIKA BRZEZINSKI, on "Morning Joe": "I think vintage Trump is back. ... There seems to be a joy back in his speaking style."

--JOE SCARBOROUGH, laughing: "He's got his groove back ... A guy who looks reenergized ... Is this guy 70 years old? The audience was EATING IT UP. ... Seems to be having the time of his life. ... There appears to be a new energy there."

--JIM VANDEHEI: "He's speaking to NEW people."

TRUMP'S TOP ADVISER - JARED KUSHNER, Trump son-in-law, owner of New York Observer, "The Donald Trump I Know" (Observer opinion piece): "My father-in-law is not an anti-Semite. ... Donald Trump is not anti-Semitic and he's not a racist. ... I am the grandson of Holocaust survivors. ... If my father in law's fast-moving team was careless in choosing an image to retweet, well part of the reason it's so shocking is that it's the actual candidate communicating with the American public rather than the armies of handlers who poll-test ordinary candidates' every move. ...

"I prefer to ... endure some small mistakes to preserving a stale status quo whose sole virtue is that it offends no one." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=2de6b37c82c12539f0fd2828a5b9f2735dfa149c04d273477f4194f9011f0fce

BROOKLYN MINDMELD - Per a Clinton official: "House Republicans are overreaching yet again. Just one week after their two-year, $7.1 million investigation into the Benghazi attacks turned up nothing new, Chaffetz and House Republicans are launching another partisan sham of an investigation, this time over emails. The same Republicans who were praising FBI Director Comey just days ago are now questioning his independence because they didn't get the outcome they wanted from the FBI. With today's hearing, Republicans are playing into the very narrative of taxpayer-funded stunts that Speaker Ryan was trying to avoid last February when he stopped Chaffetz from launching any email-focused probes."

DEEP DIVE - "When Donald Trump tried to build a wall: The Irish coast isn't the Rio Grande, but they are connected by one man, his forceful nature, and the fierce opposition he engenders," by Ben Schreckinger in Doonbeg, Ireland: "Before Donald Trump the politician based a presidential campaign on a simple promise ... Donald Trump the developer set out in February 2014 to build coastal protection works at Doughmore beach, to protect his golf course here from erosion. Those efforts have morphed into a proposal to build a two-mile, 200,000-ton rock wall. Though Trump has told the skeptics that building his proposed 1,000-mile border wall will be 'easy,' so far his two-mile Irish wall has been
 anything but. Trump has encountered numerous setbacks, and if the first stone ever gets laid, it will be a long time before it happens." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=99939864cee4e27d28fc2ccbeadcaa5fec0fcd62623932c6704bd33a3736b06d
