Buenos dias and good Wednesday morning, Golden State!
THE BUZZ: Republican Donald Trump's landslide five-state sweep -- cracking the 60 percent mark? -- and Hillary Clinton's key pickup of delegate-rich Pennsylvania, along with Connecticut, Maryland and Delaware in Tuesday's primaries change the calculations and strategy heading toward California's June 7 primary.
-- THE SILICON VALLEY ANGLE: Trump's dominant performance means the pressure is ramping up on Google, one of Silicon Valley's biggest players, to be a disrupter in the 2016 presidential race and to withhold potentially lucrative sponsorships for Republican National Convention events, now that he's calling himself "the presumptive nominee."
-- WHAT'S AHEAD -- A coalition of local activist groups in the San Francisco Bay Area promises Thursday to deliver upwards of 400,000 signatures to Mt. View-based Google, urging the tech firm to take no part in a convention coronation of Trump. The protesters include activists from California groups which have taken center stage in a number of high profile protests -- CREDO, ColorOfChange, UltraViolet, vsGoliath, Free Press Action Fund, Daily Kos, Center for Media Justice and the Courage Campaign.
-- Along with Thursday's petitions, a plane will fly over Google headquarters -- and later over the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge -- with a banner that reads "Google: Don't be evil. #DumpTrump." Google won't be the only corporate target: the groups will expand their appeals to leading firms like Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Walmart "not to provide a platform for Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric."
-- BOTTOM LINE : Reports already suggest leading tech firms like Facebook, Google and Apple, which have had big roles at political events ranging from debates to convention parties, are rightly nervous about being associated, even indirectly, with Trump's controversial statements and campaign. But there's marketing, audience, and revenue to consider. Google this: "dilemma."

RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, CALIFORNIA EDITION:
-- ''Trump backers, critics clash, fire pepper spray outside Anaheim City Hall -- Keep your noses out of the national election,'' by LATimes' Ahn Do and Matt Hamilton: " A divided Anaheim City Council voted late Tuesday to take no action on a resolution to formally denounce Donald J. Trump, capping a heated nearly four-hour debate that followed clashes outside City Hall between supporters and opponents of the Republican presidential candidate."
-- "The Biggest California Primary Since Goldwater Beat Rockefeller," by Eliana Johnson in the National Review: "As in 1964, the race that will culminate in California is also a battle for the ideological soul of the Republican party. Goldwater's nomination ensured the GOP would be a vessel for conservatism. On June 7, California's 5 million registered Republicans will decide whether it remains so."
-- TRUMP LUNCH SOLD OUT WITH 600 -- "Could be most watched CAGOP convention since Ronald Reagan'' -- Flashreport's Jon Fleischman via Breitbart News sets the table for an explosive state GOP convention this weekend -- "the 'opening bell' for the fight for 172 delegates on the Republican side, awarded largely by congressional district on a three-to-a-district, winner-takes-all basis."
-- DIVVY IT UP -- GOP attorney Ben Ginsberg on the so-called Kasich-Cruz coordination, tells MSNBC that the Republicans' could craft a savvy CA strategy: "If they play their cards right, each can specialize in certain districts.'' Under CA's winner-take-all by Congressional district June 7 GOP primary, Kasich could stake a claim to Silicon Valley/Bay Area, Cruz to San Diego/Inland Empire, and Trump...well, go figure.
-- "Donald Trump brings troublesome relationship with the truth to California," by Politifact's Chris Nichols: "PolitiFact, the national and independent fact-checking website, has never met a presidential candidate quite like Trump. The GOP frontrunner has earned more Pants On Fire ratings for claims he's made than any presidential hopeful PolitiFact has checked since it launched in 2007. Those ratings are reserved for only the most outlandish statements."
-- TROUBLE AHEAD -- "Confusion lurks in the California primary," by Capitol Weekly's Paul Mitchell: "One challenge heading into June is that these voters have grown accustomed to seeing all candidates on their ballot with the new open primary. While insiders might understand the subtleties of the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries, our past experience shows that the average voter has not done well adapting to seemingly simple changes in election procedures."
-- "State's Democratic superdelegates feel heat from Sanders backers,'' by SFChronicle's John Wildermuth:
TOP TALKERS:
-- TONEY, AND TONE DEAF -- "Upscale NorCal community insists drought's over, wants residents to water lawns,'' by LA Times' Joseph Serna: "We believe that allowing the drought to negatively impact the landscaping at any Blackhawk home does a disservice to property values throughout the community," the homeowners association announced. 'We believe there is no longer any reason that all landscaping in the community cannot flourish as it once did. Starting on June 1, any of Blackhawk's 2,000 homeowners who fail to maintain green lawns or install drought-tolerant landscaping will now risk fines or litigation."
-- RAIDERS TO SIN CITY? -- Las Vegas seeks a 'pledge' from Raiders owner Mark Davis,'' by SFChronicle's Vic Tafur: "While the Raiders close in on their first waiting list for season tickets at the 53,000-seat Oakland Coliseum, owner Mark Davis will be in Las Vegas on Thursday, reportedly set to "pledge" to move the team there."
-- INVESTIGATIVE THUMBS UP -- "Here are all the sports events California state lawmakers attended for free,'' by LATimes' Javier Panzar: "Being an elected official in California has its perks. Want proof? Consider all the free tickets to sporting events that members of the Legislature accepted last year as gifts from utilities, unions, law firms and other firms." With searchable database:

CALIFORNIA MIXTAPE:
-- "Assembly Democrats want more than $1 billion for affordable housing next year," by LATimes' Liam Dillon: "The plan provides a mixture of tax credits, development subsidies and grants to spur homebuilding for those with the lowest incomes in the state, including farmworkers and the homeless."
-- "14 people fatally overdose on 'painkiller' in California,'' via US News & World Report: "At least a dozen people in the Sacramento area have fatally overdosed on a pill disguised to look like a popular painkiller -- and now the drug has turned up in the San Francisco Bay Area."
--"'Barbarians': Report reveals racist texts sent from San Francisco police officer," by Washington Post's Lindsey Bever: "Authorities said they have uncovered racist and homophobic text messages sent by and to a former San Francisco police officer who is embroiled in a growing scandal over such messages among law enforcement. Jason Lai has resigned from the San Francisco Police Department following a 2015 investigation that first looked into sexual-assault allegations."
-- "San Francisco police text scandal at odds with diverse image,'' via AP: "Details of a second batch of racist and homophobic text messages sent by a San Francisco police officer seem at odds with the image of a rainbow-flagged city that prides itself on diversity."
-- "Beat L.A.: Why S.F.'s economy outperforms its southern neighbor's," by San Francisco Business Times' Riley McDermid: "The San Francisco metro area has done far better than Los Angeles when it comes to creating prosperity for its residents, a new book by urbanist Michael Storper argues, and the Bay Area is a test case in how to advance long-term economic development, he told The Atlantic in an interview this week. 'Industry differences are essential,' Storper said. 'The Bay Area captured key New Economy industries such as information technology and biotechnology, and greater L.A. did not.'"
-- "How UCSF landed a $185 million gift from Wall Street's Sandy Weill," by San Francisco Business Times' Ron Leuty:
-- "LA City Council Soapbox Evades its Own Sexual Misconduct Failures,' by Daniel Guss, Citywatch:
-- "Scientology Leader David Miscavige Threatens to Sue Over Father's Tell-All,'' by Hollywood Reporter's Seth Abramovitch: "Among the 'malicious, false, misleading and highly defamatory' assertions made in the book: that Miscavige 'seized power' from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard by 'outmaneuvering rivals'; that 'Gold Base' headquarters in Hemet, Calif., has 'appalling conditions' and staff 'were not permitted to leave'; that church members were 'subjected to deprivation and violence' while detained in a prison-like containment center known as 'the Hole'; and that Miscavige hired private detectives to trail his father."
-- "Top business leaders, 27 governors, urge Congress to boost computer science education," by the Washington Post's Emma Brown: "'Our schools should give all students the opportunity to understand how this technology works, to learn how to be creators, coders, and makers - not just consumers,' they wrote Tuesday in an open letter to lawmakers. 'Instead, what is increasingly a basic skill is only available to the lucky few, leaving most students behind, particularly students of color and girls.'"
-- "Report casts doubt on SF-area breast cancer 'cluster,'" on FoxNews.com: "An extensive report in the Pulitzer Prize-winning weekly newspaper Point Reyes Light highlighted how the Bay Area media contributes to the anxiety of white women in Marin County with headlines like 'Unseen Killer Stalks Marin' and 'Breast Cancer Amid Affluence: High Rate in Marin County Appears Tied to Wealth, Education,' even though evidence shows the disease is no more prevalent there than in other places."
-- "Delta battle over water and fish lands in court," by San Jose Mercury News' Denis Cuff: "State and federal regulators have failed to protect Delta fish and the environment during the drought by repeatedly relaxing water-quality standards so as to keep water flowing to California cities and farms, three conservation groups argued in a federal lawsuit filed Friday."
-- "Employment distress affects 2.9 million Californians,'' by SacBee's Dan Walters: Officially, 1.1 million Californians are unemployed, half as many as the state had during the depths of the Great Recession. However, a new analysis of employment data by the Legislature's budget adviser suggests that when the underemployed and labor force dropouts are added to the official number, job distress affects nearly three times as many Californians.

Remarks from DNC Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz Press Call on the State of the Presidential Race
Today, DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz hosted a press call to discuss the state of the race and preview Donald Trump's meetings with Republican leadership tomorrow. From senior leaders to the voters of Nebraska and West Virginia yesterday, Republicans have started to fret about their party's deepening divide to embrace their divisive and dangerous standard bearer. Democrats, on the other hand, have shown in state after state that our voters are excited about our primary, and optimistic about both of our candidates. Despite the historic chaos among Republicans, it's now clear that Donald Trump is the Republican Party.
Please find remarks below as prepared for delivery:
Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Of course we now know that Donald Trump is the Republican presumptive nominee, but we wanted to take a moment to discuss the historic and unprecedented division taking place on the Republican side --- especially visible this week as Donald Trump prepares to sit down tomorrow with Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan. The irony is that Trump's impending nomination is the result of years of the Republican Party elevating extreme voices, and using divisive campaigns that sought to exploit unfounded fears for political gain. They've made their bed, and now they're lying in it. With his lock on the Republican nomination, Donald Trump has ensured that his party's problems won't be limited to convention chaos -- he's going to force GOP races big and small across the country to own his ugly, divisive and dangerous rhetoric all the way to the general election.
...
There has never been a situation in which the sitting Speaker of the House of Representatives simply doesn't want to support his party's nominee. It's stunning that Paul Ryan had to say he was willing to step down as the Chair of his party's convention. The distress amongst party leaders is palpable. The list of Republican leaders who refuse to support Donald Trump got longer this week, with Ted Cruz joining Ryan, and a slew of former GOP presidential candidates and Republican presidents who are equally dismayed at his divisive and dangerous rhetoric. In exit polls yesterday, just ten percent of Republican voters in West Virginia and three percent in Nebraska said they think their party is united. Majorities of Republican primary voters in recent weeks have expressed concern about their party's division. When you look at the trend lines nationally on our side, In contest after contest, Democratic voters are reporting their enthusiasm for both of our candidates.
The national polls favor Democrats who have seen week after week that our voters are excited about our primaries and enthusiastic about our candidates. Democrats are building the infrastructure for the general election, and we're doing it with enthusiastic voters because they see our candidates have the right ideas to build on the progress of the last seven years. So we're very confident that we're well positioned heading into the general election and that we'll have the strongest candidate. But we're not taking anything for granted, we're going to hold Trump and Republicans up and down the ballot accountable for their repeated promises to drag our country right back to the reckless policies that were in place in 2009 when the last Republican president left office; when we were losing 800,000 jobs a month; and, when countless Americans lost their homes and savings.
So that's another reason that this Trump - Ryan - McConnell meeting matters. It's a reminder that what the Republican presumptive nominee is promising is the same brand of trickle-down economic policies that help those at the top while costing hardworking Americans. Despite their fretting over his divisive and dangerous rhetoric, when you look under the hood, Trump doesn't look much different from Ryan or McConnell, and certainly like many of the down ballot Republicans. Despite his attempts at slight-of-hand, for example, it's clear that Trump's reckless tax plan is modeled on what the Republican Party has done for years, built on the same failed foundation of rewarding those at the top
by slashing the top income tax rate. Trump's plan would bring that tax rate to 25 percent from 39.6 percent. That would give
the "top 0.1% of income earners like himself an average tax cut of more than $1.3 million." Republicans in Congress also want to lower
the individual tax rate for the wealthiest Americans to 25 percent. Trump also plans to substantially
reduce the corporate tax rate, instead of fixing loopholes that allow some large companies to pay no federal income tax at all. Paul Ryan and his colleagues have also proposed cutting corporate taxes down to 25 percent - making Trump's 15 percent plan even more extreme than the Ryan Budget.
It's the same old Republican playbook. And it's consistent with Trump's history of making money off the backs of hardworking people. Trump's Republican bona fides go further. He actually said at one of the Republican Party's debates that wages were "too high". He not only opposes raising the federal minimum wage but thinks there shouldn't be a federal minimum wage at all. Now he tries to play sleight of hand, but that's what he promised. And Trump's statement this past week that the United States of America, as a country, shouldn't honor its debt and just print more money is flat out dangerous. But it's consistent with McConnell and Ryan, who have allowed their colleagues in Congress to bring our country to the brink of default by playing games with the debt ceiling, and threatening our credit rating. Put simply, Trump and the Republicans he's meeting with cannot be trusted on the economy, they have already proven that. When they win, the American people lose. Trump is divisive and dangerous, and he lacks the judgment and temperament to be president. The contrast couldn't be clearer with our candidates, who I'm proud of, who have run substantive and spirited campaigns.

Maybe a tweak like this to demonstrate that we’ve repeatedly used language from our candidates throughout the primary?

Revised--
On-the-record: “Throughout the course of the primary, we’ve amplified the voices of our candidates to help drive Democratic engagement. Now that we know who the Republican nominee will be, we are finding new ways to tap our candidates to make clear that Donald Trump’s vision for America is both divisive and reckless. Our goal is to mobilize Democrats across the country and make sure our candidates up and down the ballot have the resources they need to win in November.”
On background: NO, there is no new agreement. We reached out to both campaigns as part of these efforts. The Sanders campaign preferred that the DNC use his prior statements on Trump, so last week we sent a similar fundraising email using his quotes. Hillary Clinton was the only candidate who allowed us to use her signature to help raise critical funds for the party.

Subject: Bloomberg / HRC Email
Bloomberg is doing a story on the fundraising email we just sent with Hillary Clinton’s signature. The reporter wants to know if this “reflects a new agreement between the DNC and the Clinton campaign, an acknowledgement that she will almost certainly be the Democratic nominee” and wondered if we were “at all concerned that Sanders supporters will see this as the DNC choosing a winner before the voters have decided.”
Proposed response is below:
On-the-record: “Now that we know who the Republican nominee, we are going to find ways to integrate the voices of both of our candidates for President into our efforts at the DNC. Our goal is to mobilize Democrats across the country and make sure our candidates up and down the ballot have the resources they need to win in November.”
On background: NO, there is no new agreement. We reached out to both campaigns. The Sanders campaign preferred that the DNC use his prior statements on Trump, so last week we sent a similar email using his quotes. The only difference is that Hillary Clinton signed today’s email.

Keith --
The Republican Party has a new leader: Donald Trump. I can't think of a time in my life when I've been prouder to be a Democrat -- or more committed to building a strong party.
Consider Trump's stated goals for his first 100 days in office: He plans to undo some of President Obama's most important accomplishments, like the Affordable Care Act and executive orders on immigration, and he promises to appoint a Scalia-like justice to the Supreme Court to rip away our dearest progress, like marriage equality and a woman's right to choose.
Keith, we absolutely cannot let those things happen. We need to protect and build on President Obama's legacy -- for our shared values, and for the future of the country we love. Your $10 contribution to the Democratic National Committee today will do just that -- can you help?

As Democrats, we have a very different vision for our country, from protecting LGBT people and public education at the state level to raising the minimum wage and confronting climate change as a nation. We know that there are no magic solutions -- we get things done by rolling up our sleeves and putting in hard work.
That starts with working to elect Democrats all across this country, to protect President Obama's legacy, and to make sure Donald Trump never, ever becomes president.
We can't win this fight without you, Keith. Chip in now -- the world is counting on us:

With deep thanks,
Hillary

Today in the call for a full, nine bench Supreme Court: Senate Democrats join environmental advocates to discuss importance of filling the Supreme Court vacancy, Florida Republican Senate candidate David Jolly calls for Garland nomination hearing and a vote, while editorial boards and political analysts continue to note the poisonous political game Senate Republicans are playing over Chief Judge Garland's nomination.
Senate Democrats And Environmental Advocates Call On Republican Senators: #DoYourJob
Today, Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Brian Schatz, Senator Martin Heinrich and Senator Ed Markey joined NextGen Climate, Green for All, League for Conservation Voters and Clean Water Action on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court with a clear demand for Senate Republicans: do your job by giving President Obama's Supreme Court nominee full and fair consideration. A video of the event can be found here
.
Sen. Boxer (D-CA): "We cannot afford to have a deadlocked court, which could lead to different rules in different parts of the country and inconsistent protections for public health and the environment."
Sen. Heinrich (D-NM): "Challenges to the President's Clean Power Plan will ultimately end up being heard before the U.S. Supreme Court. This is precisely the type of case that the American people cannot have end in a 4-4 tie. It is my sincere hope that Republicans will end their obstructionism and take their jobs and constitutional duties seriously."
Sen. Schatz (D-HI): It's time for Senate Republicans to end the political games, fulfill their constitutional duty, and join us in restoring the Supreme Court to its full strength."
Sen. Markey (D-MA): "Landmark rulings on the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act explain why just one vacancy on this Supreme Court has such enormous impact and why the stakes are so high. We simply cannot afford to have a vacancy on the Supreme Court for the sake of environmental and climate protections." [NextGen Press Release, 04/26/16
]
GOP Senate candidate: Chief Judge Merrick Garland deserves a vote.
During a debate last night, Rep. David Jolly (R-FL), who is currently running for the Florida Senate seat, said that he supports hearings and a vote for Chief Judge Garland.
Rep. David Jolly: "I do think he should have a hearing and I would like to see a vote...That's actually the proper exercise of the Senate's Article I authority." [Huffington Post, 04/26/16
]
Sen. Leahy calls Republican obstruction not a "history the Senate should be proud of."
Speaking at the Kennedy Institute, Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) invoked the legacy of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), during whose tenure no pending Supreme Court nominee was denied a hearing and a vote.
Sen. Leahy: "These days, we certainly could use some more of Senator Kennedy's commitment to the Constitution,...[Senator Kennedy] understood the momentous nature of Supreme Court nominations, as well as the historic and constitutionally-mandated role of the Senate....To deny Chief Judge Garland a public hearing and a vote would be truly historic - but that is not the kind of history the Senate should be proud of." [Senator Leahy Press Release, 04/16/16
]
Salt Lake Tribune: Hatch should reciprocate and consider Garland nomination for Supreme Court.
The editorial board of the Salt Lake Tribune
urges Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) to give Chief Judge Garland's nomination the same consideration President Obama gave Ronald G. Russell, who is now awaiting Senate action on his nomination to the U.S. District Court for Utah.
"But Utah's elder statesman has two good reasons to break from the pack, stop the partisan melodrama and show leadership, to spend some of the political capital that he has accumulated over four decades. Merrick Garland and Ronald G. Russell are nominees he admires. Instead of contributing to poisonous politics, he could actually do something to fix it, something to loosen the appointment logjam and help courts function the way they are intended....Obama acted on your choice to fill a federal judgeship in Utah. You should reciprocate. It is what Utahns elected you to do."
Republican Senators can blame McConnell for "forcing them to carry the albatross of Garland obstructionism around their necks."
Juan Williams, a FOX News policy analyst, writes in the Hill
that poll after poll shows that Senate Republicans are on the wrong side of the Supreme Court nomination debate.
"Yes, blocking a nominee from Obama will appeal to the hard-right base of the GOP. But McConnell's most vulnerable Senate incumbents come from states that Obama won in 2012...McConnell's blunt refusal to consider Garland fits with the image of the broken, dysfunctional Republican Party that is forcing Senate candidates to run away from its nominating convention." [The Hill, 04/26/16

Illinois City Council passes resolution urging Senate to hold hearings and a vote for Chief Judge Garland.
The Daily Northwestern
reports:
Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl: "[The Supreme Court] certainly does impact us. It'd be nice to have gun control decisions come from the Supreme Court and it would certainly make a big difference in the city of Evanston. ... The Supreme Court now is ending up in 4-4 ties."
Councilmember Donald Wilson: "If other aspects of the government is not doing their jobs, it directly impacts us...It's our expectation that our representatives do their jobs as they're supposed to do. We're not asking for a specific result we are just asking that people do their jobs."
Toledo officials tell Sen. Portman to do his job.
According to the Toledo Blade
:
"Today outside the Lucas County Courthouse, Toledo Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson and Lucas County commissioners Carol Contrada and Pete Gerken - all Democrats - blasted Republicans in the United State Senate for failing to move on President Obama's Supreme Court nomination of federal appeals judge Merrick Garland."

Eric,
I wanted you to be the first to know.
It's my honor and privilege to introduce you to Carly Fiorina – the next Vice President of the United States.
Carly and I are about to go on stage to make this important announcement official, but I wanted you – one of my closest and most loyal supporters – to hear it from me first.
As you get to know Carly like I have – I know you will agree that she is the right person and ready to accept this enormous responsibility on behalf of the American people.
Carly is a Leader: a leader who understands that power never has and never will come from the government – it comes from the people. A leader who knows the principles of the Declaration and the Constitution because she has lived them – a life dedicated to the dignity of work, of our right to pursue our wildest aspirations – and to help others do the same.
Carly is a Fighter: a fighter who terrifies Hillary, and she will do the same to our enemies. Carly will fight for the American people with an unbreakable purpose of protecting every one of their rights and ensuring we hand our children and grandchildren a better America than the one before us today.
Carly has a record of Accomplishment: a record of both personal and professional accomplishment, Carly was the first woman to lead a Fortune 50 business, and she did it during the worst technology recession in 25 years. Carly saved 80,000 jobs and grew the company to 160,000 jobs.
With Carly fighting alongside me – I'm more energized than ever to win this nomination, defeat Hillary Clinton, and to reignite liberty in America.

Only flag is that Bernie-land could spin this is as Dems trying to silence him at convention, but on the whole, these stories aren't bad.
MSNBC: Democrats consider new rules to avoid convention chaos
05/20/16 04:53 PM
By Alex Seitz-Wald
PHILADELPHIA - Still reeling from the chaos surrounding last weekend's Nevada Democratic State Convention, party officials considered new guidelines Friday that would bar interruptions of any kind at upcoming state conventions.
Last week's unrest was on everyone's mind at a meeting here of State Democratic Party chairmen, who rallied around Roberta Lange, the Nevada chair who has received death threats from supporters of Bernie Sanders.
"Any one of us could be Roberta one day," Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said. "But none of us are going to stand for it."
In a speech dedicated almost entirely to projecting confidence that the party will ultimately unify, Wasserman Schultz drew on her experience as a die-hard Hillary Clinton supporter in 2008.
"To say that I was not very well-liked by then-Sen. Obama's supporters would be an understatement. Despised might be more accurate," Wasserman Schultz said. "I share that story with you because I want to remind everyone that we have been down this road before."
She mocked the "media's love affair with notions of party discord" and said she was "confident that we will channel the passion and energy from our primary into unity behind a common purpose."
Last week's convention in Las Vegas devolved into chaos. Sanders supporters loudly objected to the procedure, claiming their supporters were being disenfranchised. It stretched on for hours as officials lost control, before security finally shut down the event. Unrest continued the next day when the Democratic Party's headquarters were vandalized by graffiti and Lange received threats.
The incident has led Democrats to worry about unrest at the Democratic National Convention, which will take place here in July. Some Sanders supporters have already promised protests.
Sanders supporters loudly objected to the procedure, claiming their supporters were being disenfranchised.
As state party chairs, they were also worried about the dozen or so state conventions that will occur before the national event. Some expressed particular concern about Wyoming's convention, scheduled for next week.
"The experience of the Nevada Convention demands that action be taken," said Ray Buckley, the New Hampshire party chairman, who also serves as president of the Association of State Democratic Party Chairs.
He said every state party was "stunned and saddened" by what happened in Nevada, but that state was not alone in seeing "bad behavior" at party events.
Buckley called on the Sanders campaign, along with the Clinton's campaign and the DNC, to agree to eight new guidelines to ensure peace at upcoming state conventions.
The guidelines called for cost sharing for extra security, more meetings to hammer out issues ahead of time and for senior officials with both campaigns to be on the floor of the convention to help reign in supporters if need be.
He also called on all parties to agree that conventions should proceed "without interruption or interference of any manner," including "auditory or visual distractions."
Jaxon Ravens, the chairman of the Washington State Party, added that party officials should take extra safety and security precautions at state party offices.
Several party chairs stood to publicly thank Lange. "It's not about Nevada any more, it's about all of us," she replied.
Lange told MSNBC that she is still receiving threats from Sanders supporters and fears for her safety. She said she has yet to hear from the Sanders campaign.
Clinton campaign manage Robby Mook briefly addressed the group Friday and will speak again Saturday. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver was scheduled to appear, but canceled, several sources said. Sanders' political director addressed the group Thursday.
After Nevada chaos, Dems propose new rules for state conventions
By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI
05/20/16 04:59 PM EDT
PHILADELPHIA - Democratic Party leaders are proposing a set of new rules governing conduct at upcoming state party conventions to avoid a repeat of the chaos in Nevada that has sent worries about party unity up the spines of Democrats nationwide.
Speaking to fellow party chairs at the spring meeting of the Association of State Democratic Chairs in Philadelphia, the group's leader, New Hampshire's Raymond Buckley, laid down a set of guidelines that would commit the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigns to maintaining an active presence at the remaining events. He said both campaigns have agreed to follow through.
"Every state party was stunned and saddened by what was alleged to have occurred in Nevada. Unfortunately, while Nevada has gotten the most coverage, it's not the only example of bad behavior at a state party convention this year, and that needs to be addressed," Buckley said to a conference room of elected Democrats in the Sheraton Downtown hotel, referring to the discordant Saturday convention that had to be shut down by hotel security after Sanders supporters protested the proceedings, believing the rules were being changed unfairly and that their representatives were not being properly seated. In the days since the meeting, at which Sanders backers also shouted down Clinton-backing California Sen. Barbara Boxer, Nevada Democratic Party Chairwoman Roberta Lange has received death threats and abuse from Sanders supporters.
"It is not acceptable for a state chair, or anyone participating within the Democratic Party for that matter, to be the victim of death threats or have their families' safety or jobs threatened," Buckley said.
The proposals - which drew no audible protests - include having the campaigns and DNC commit to sending senior staff members to be on site for the conventions, having the convention leaders provide their proposed rules to both campaigns and the DNC at least 48 hours early, ensuring all speakers run without interruptions, and securing a commitment from both campaigns and the national party to help with the cost of any needed law enforcement or security.
The plan came at the top of the meeting's public afternoon session, shortly before party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz spoke. Most of the meeting - which was attended by Sanders deputy campaign manager Rich Pelletier and political outreach director Nick Carter, as well as Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook - was dedicated to logistical planning for July's national convention.
The other four legs of Buckley's proposal are to have the campaigns and DNC commit to meeting with the state party about their concerns the day before the convention, have the state parties work to ensure every delegate is properly registered and explained, make sure all delegates can participate safely, and have the campaigns and DNC be willing to assist in enforcing these rules.

Tennessee Democratic Party Chair: “Trump Most Dangerous Nominee in History”
Nashville, TN (May 4, 2016) -- Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Mary Mancini released the following statement regarding the ‘Real’ Donald Trump and his connection to Tennessee Republicans:
“Donald Trump has built his campaign on fear, stoking the embers of racism, sexism, and xenophobia that still remain in this country, but that hasn’t stopped the Tennessee Republicans from endorsing and actively campaigning for him.
Their support for Trump reveals their true priorities, which have nothing to do with solving problems or governing Tennessee effectively and everything to do with the politics of pleasing the extremists in their own Party. It is beyond sad that our state’s Republicans are standing behind someone who continues to do so much harm to our country.”

DONALD TRUMP
TRUMP SUGGESTS RAFAEL CRUZ HELPED ASSASSINATE JFK: “Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Ted Cruz’s father was with John F. Kennedy’s assassin shortly before he murdered the president, parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963…‘His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being - you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,’ Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. ‘What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.’ ‘I mean, what was he doing - what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?’ Trump continued. ‘It’s horrible.’” [Politico, 5/3/16
]
TRUMP RESPONDS TO “MOST RECENT OUTBURST FROM TED CRUZ”: “Ted Cruz is a desperate candidate trying to save his failing campaign. It is no surprise he has resorted to his usual tactics of over-the-top rhetoric that nobody believes. Over the last week, I have watched Lyin’ Ted become more and more unhinged as he is unable to react under the pressure and stress of losing, in all cases by landslides, the last six primary elections --- in fact, coming in last place in all but one of them. Today’s ridiculous outburst only proves what I have been saying for a long time, that Ted Cruz does not have the temperament to be President of the United States.” [Donald J. Trump for President, Statement, 5/3/16
]
TRUMP SAYS HE WOULD “PROHIBIT” MILITARY LEADERS FROM TALKING TO PRESS: “If he becomes commander in chief, Donald Trump won’t let military generals speak to “the dishonest press,” out of fear they’ll spill national security secrets. ‘A general should not be on television,’ the Republican front-runner told a crowd of supporters during a rally at Carmel, Indiana, on Monday. ‘I don't want our generals on television. I will prohibit them.’” [Military Times, 5/3/16
]
EXPERTS WARN OF BACKLASH OVER TRUMP’S CHINA TRADE POLICIES: “Starting a trade war might be cathartic for workers who have lost jobs, but it is unlikely to create a lot of factory work. ‘There’s no way a tariff of this kind could deliver the kind of benefits that he’s talking about, and it’s quite wrong to think that the big problem for American workers has been foreign trade,’ said J .W. Mason, a professor of economics at John Jay College and a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, a liberal think tank. ‘But I think it could be very destructive for the rest of the world.’” [New York Times, 5/3/16
]
TRUMP FALSELY SAYS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MIKE TYSON’S RAPE TRIAL: “‘Do you still think Mike Tyson got a raw deal when he endorsed you?’ Trump was asked. ‘I don’t know anything about it. I know he endorsed me. I heard he endorsed me,’ Trump stated. ‘I don’t know anything about his trial. I really don’t.’ Trump, a longtime friend of Tyson, opined at length about the trial on television, in newspapers, and in magazines. Trump has claimed Tyson was ‘railroaded’ in the case and on several occasions offered criticism of Tyson’s defense attorney. Trump said in 1992 that Tyson could pay the victim with money from a fight to avoid serving time in prison. Trump also called into question whether the victim had been raped at all.” [Buzzfeed, 5/2/16
]
TRUMP NOW PAYS TWITTER TO PROMOTE HIS TWEETS: “Mr. Trump’s campaign has joined Twitter’s regional ad targeting, having four of his posts appear in the feeds of selected Twitter users in Indiana, regardless of whether they are followers of the candidate. In a sign of growing technical sophistication within the Trump campaign, the Twitter posts are being aimed at particular audiences within the state. For example, a post with a video featuring the endorsement of Bobby Knight, theformer Indiana University basketball coach, was targeted at basketball fans as identified by Twitter.” [New York Times, 5/3/16

CRUZ AIDE SAYS CAMPAIGN IS BRACING FOR IMMEDIATE STAFF CUTS AND “A VERY SOMBER” SPEECH TUESDAY NIGHT: “Cruz has spent the past week camped out in Indiana, securing the support of the state's governor and announcing retired technology executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate. Yet his aides were pessimistic heading into Tuesday's voting and were prepared for Cruz to fall short. With polls predicting a loss, campaign officials were bracing for immediate staffing cuts ‘at a minimum,’ according to one aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal discussions. The aide said the campaign was preparing for ‘a very somber’ address Tuesday night in Indianapolis.” [AP, 5/3/16
]
CRUZ MOCKS TRUMP’S “BATTLES WITH VENEREAL DISEASE”: “Cruz continued: ‘The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines with it being a narcissist, a narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen. Donald Trump is such a narcissist that Barack Obama looks at him and goes, “Dude, what's your problem?”’…‘Donald Trump is a serial philanderer, and he boasts about it,’ Cruz told reporters, referring to remarks Trump made to radio personality Howard Stern in 1997. ‘This is not a secret. He's proud of being a serial philanderer. I want everyone to think about your teenage kids. The president of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery, how proud he is, describes his battles with venereal disease as his own personal Vietnam.’” [Texas Tribune, 5/3/16

McCain, Flake, Arizona Republicans Have a Horrible Weekend
PHOENIX - With Donald Trump solidifying GOP support and becoming the presumptive nominee, the national spotlight continues to shine on Arizona, as his dangerous and divisive candidacy puts the state in play this November.
Last week John McCain was caught talking about Trump's impact on his race, particularly with the Latino community, saying how Trump damages his reelection hopes.
But yesterday, in a clear opportunity to buck his party's nominee in regards to the racist comments, McCain stood silent.
When asked if he'd want Trump to retract his comments made against the Latino community calling them 'rapists' and 'criminals,' McCain said on CNN
, "Oh, I don't know."
In the meantime, as more Americans favor
a Senate vote on Garland's nomination, this weekend Senator Flake talked about why he's playing along with Senate Republicans in holding up Garland's hearing and vote.
In an interview with Meet the Press
, Flake said "if we lose the election in November, then we ought to approve him [Judge Garland] quickly because I'm certain that he will be more conservative than a Hillary Clinton nomination come January."
"John McCain and Jeff Flake can't have it both ways," said Arizona Democratic Party spokesman Enrique Gutierrez. "Either you stand with or stand opposed to Donald Trump. Trying to cherry pick Donald Trump's reckless positions for their own political purposes is just too dangerous for the people of Arizona. Trump has proven he doesn't have the temperament or judgement to be president, and if McCain and Flake stand with Trump's divisive agenda, voters will hold them accountable."

Key points:
Registration among Hispanic voters is skyrocketing in a presidential election cycle dominated by Donald Trump
and loud GOP cries to close the border.
...
Still, rising registration rates among Hispanics in Colorado, Florida and Nevada could make it easier for the Democratic candidate to retain those swing states. Even Arizona could be in play, say some poll watchers.
Registration is a game-changer with Hispanic voters.
Only about 48 percent of eligible Hispanics vote, but nearly 80 percent of registered Hispanics go to the ballot box.
Hispanic voter registration spikes
THE HILL // RAFAEL BERNAL
Registration among Hispanic voters is skyrocketing in a presidential election cycle dominated by Donald Trump
and loud GOP cries to close the border.
Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National Association of Elected and Appointed Officials, projects 13.1 million Hispanics will vote nationwide in 2016, compared to 11.2 million in 2012 and 9.7 million in 2008.
Many of those new Hispanic voters are also expected to vote against Trump if he is the Republican nominee, something that appears much more likely after the front-runner's sweeping primary victories Tuesday in five East Coast states.
A whopping 80 percent of respondents in a poll of registered Hispanic voters in Colorado and Nevada said Trump's views on immigration made them less likely to vote for Republicans in November. In Florida, that number was 68 percent.
The figures are sparking confident tones from Democrats, who think their party's nominee will benefit from a huge advantage in the fall not only in the presidential race but also in battles for the House and Senate.
Because of the contrast between the GOP and Democratic fields, "we feel absolutely confident about our chances of electing Democrats up and down the ballot in November," said Walter Garcia, western regional communication director for the Democratic National Committee.
Many of the newly registered Hispanic voters are in California and Texas, relatively safe states for Democrats and Republicans, respectively.
In fact, because so many Hispanic voters live in those states, the effect of the rising registration numbers will be somewhat undercut, according to Vargas.
Still, rising registration rates among Hispanics in Colorado, Florida and Nevada could make it easier for the Democratic candidate to retain those swing states. Even Arizona could be in play, say some poll watchers.
Registration is a game-changer with Hispanic voters.
Only about 48 percent of eligible Hispanics vote, but nearly 80 percent of registered Hispanics go to the ballot box.
Democrats have already targeted Colorado, Florida and Nevada with at least $15 million for Hispanic outreach, according to Vargas.
In Colorado, where 15 percent of eligible voters are Hispanic, the demographic has already shown its ability to flip elections.
The 2016 Colorado Democratic caucuses were one of the first big tests for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders
against rival Hillary Clinton
. With nearly 30,000 newly registered voters and strong support from Hispanic millennials, Sanders beat Clinton by more than 20,000 votes.
President Obama won 51.5 percent of the vote in Colorado in 2012, compared to 46 percent for GOP nominee Mitt Romney. In Nevada, Obama won 52 percent of the vote to Romney's 46 percent.
Arizona has been a relatively safe state for Republicans in recent presidential elections, but Democrats have long wondered if they could make it competitive.
Romney won 53.5 percent of the vote there in 2012, Obama 44.5 percent.
David Lublin, professor of government at American University, describes Arizona as "the sort of state that if Clinton starts moving into landslide or big-win territory, she could win."
Yet the real danger for Republicans could be down the ballot - particularly in the battle for the Senate, where longtime Sen. John McCain
(R-Ariz.) could be a target.
Obama won 74 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012, according to exit polls by NBC.
A Democrat in 2016 would likely depend on larger Hispanic turnout and a larger share of the white vote to win the state.
Romney hurt himself with Hispanic voters in 2012 by suggesting that undocumented workers self-deport. He moved to the right on immigration and border security in the primary and was relatively quiet on the issue in the general election.
Both parties think Trump's rhetoric, which has included insults directed at Mexicans and a plan to build a wall on the border and make Mexico pay for it, could be more difficult to overcome in a general election.
Trump has "motivated Latino voters," said Rep. Norma Torres (D-Calif.)
Immigration was shown by an America's Voice/Latino Decisions poll to be the primary issue driving Hispanics away from Republican candidates in 2016.
However, Hispanic voters nationally said the most important issue facing the country is the economy.
Ruth Guerra, Republican National Committee director of Hispanic media, gives little credence to the polls: "Not only is Latino Decisions on Hillary Clinton's payroll, they have proven to be inaccurate time and again, so we will take their results in context."
She also criticized Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, on immigration issues, accusing her of thinking Hispanics would have "amnesia."
She noted that Clinton was opposed to giving drivers licenses to undocumented workers as a senator from New York but has now reversed her position.
"Clinton's flip flops and hypocrisy on immigration are a mile long because she will tell voters anything to win an election," Guerra said.
A win by a Democrat presidential candidate in Florida, Colorado and Nevada would make it very difficult for a GOP candidate to reach 270 electoral votes and win the White House.
In fact, Democrats could actually lose the swing state of Ohio but win Pennsylvania or Wisconsin and get to 270 - simply by holding other states that have voted for the Democratic nominee in presidential elections for the last six cycles.
Jon Ralston, a veteran Nevada political journalist who is not surprised by the numbers, said, "The real problem is that Trump, and, to a lesser degree, Cruz, will drive up Hispanic turnout against Republicans."
He said the only path for the GOP nominee to the White House in such a situation would be to win more white votes.
Ralston described this as "a path we have never seen before. Huge increase in white vote."
If the numbers hold true, the electoral map becomes daunting for Republicans with the three states in question turned solid blue. Based on 270towin's 2016 toss-up map, Democrats would only have to win one of either Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia or North Carolina (or a more unlikely combination of only New Hampshire and Iowa) if the Hispanic vote does indeed deliver Colorado, Florida and Nevada.
"It's not a favorable situation among Latinos and it doesn't seem like Republicans will be able to make it up among white voters," said Lublin.


WASHINGTON • Donald Trump has dissed Ferguson again.
He told a reporter for the New York Times magazine that Ferguson, along with Oakland, Calif., is one of the most dangerous cities in not just America, but the world.
This was the exchange, according to the Times.
“ ‘What’s the most dangerous place in the world you’ve been to?’ ”
“He contemplated this for a second. ‘Brooklyn,” he said, laughing. ‘No,’ he went on, ‘there are places in America that are among the most dangerous in the world. You go to places like Oakland. Or Ferguson. The crime numbers are worse. Seriously.’ ”
The world, of course, includes dangerous places like bombed-out Syrian cities, cities and towns in Iraq and Afghanistan constantly changing hands between terrorists, militias and governments, and so forth, and embattled cities on the border between Russia and its neighbors.
Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-St. Louis, fired back. He tweeted that Trump “knows nothing about Ferguson or keeping America safe.”
Clay followed with a Tweet referencing the shooting death of Michal Brown by a Ferguson police officer in 2014, and two other high-profile cases involving deaths of black men in police custody.
“Ferguson was dangerous for Mike Brown, NYC was dangerous for Eric Garner, Sanford, Fla., was dangerous for Trayvon Martin," Clay wrote.
Trump’s “coddling of racist supporters puts black lives and Latinos at risk, endangers us all,” Clay tweeted.
Trump's comments are stirring up social media.

This isn’t the first time the presumptive Republican presidential nominee has mentioned Ferguson negatively. Trump sparked an Internet explosion last August when he said that cities like St. Louis and Ferguson had problems with gangs of illegal immigrants.
Local officials pushed back, hard.
“I work here in town, I live here and I’ve not seen them, and that’s not on our law enforcement’s radar,” Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III said of the gang comments. “No large group of ethnically oriented gangs.”

Yeah, look, April, we don't care who does this. If you guys want to handle the roll out from Philly, that's fine. We just need details, timing, Q&A, key talking points, and whether we need to do any follow up on booking from our end.

Luis and April, hope you’re both doing well. I think the best reporter to give the news to ahead of time is Greg Sargent at the Washington Post. But, the specific reporter is not as important as getting it to an outlet before the news breaks so we can help control the narrative on the front end. Otherwise this may likely get spun in a not-so-helpful way. We should also get Rep. Cummings on the phone with that reporter.  Thanks again, Mark

April, we need the written out roll out plan, and we need to see if we can place a story FIRST rather than just dropping a press release to make sure the first story out of the gate is as helpful as possible. Even if it's for today. Please loop us both in. thanks.
