The Lead
In several visits to Washington, D.C. "since the 1980s" Donald Trump's "navigation of Washington's corridors of power appears all too familiar in hindsight - fusing showmanship, a reductive approach to ethnicity, shape-shifting policy rationales and gleeful name-dropping into the political currency required to get what he wanted, or at least make headlines trying.

As he sets off on a round of meetings this week to announce himself as the town's new Republican standard-bearer - most notably a sit-down scheduled for Thursday with" House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), "Trump can draw on decades of intermittent, but memorable, experiences." (

"Several deeply conservative House members are reluctantly getting on board with Donald Trump, creating another potential division between Paul Ryan and a key constituency if the House speaker remains on the fence for an extended stretch." (

"A senior adviser to Trump, Barry Bennett, said in a recent interview that the campaign could use online fundraising to make up for a lack of a traditional fundraising network. 'He's got 16 million followers on social media, much like Bernie Sanders, and when we turn that on, you are going to see Bernie Sanders-like fundraising.'" (

WALL STREET FOR CLINTON: "Wall Street's bet on the presidential race broke hard for Hillary Clinton this year, as the bankers' favorite Republican hopefuls fizzled and left the race. Clinton gathered almost 70 cents of every $1 spent in the presidential race by employees of the six biggest U.S. banks in the first quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Government based on Federal Election Commission reports." Jeb Bush and Rubio were Wall Street favorites before they dropped out. (

Washington Post) "Trump has a history of promising to release his tax returns - and then not doing so." He promised he'd do so back in 2011 if President Obama released his long form birth certificate, and then did not. Trump also knocked Romney for not releasing his in 2012. "Trump now says he won't release his taxes, citing a pending audit - not even back taxes from 2002 to 2008 that his lawyers claim have been cleared without penalty." (

LATINO OUTREACH: "Democrats have begun hiring a host of Latino communications professionals to help target the Hispanic population during this summer's convention in Philadelphia, a growing contrast to their nominal efforts at Latino outreach in 2012. ... The DNCC is also working to spend 35% of its convention dollars on diverse contractors, an effort that is not without it's growing pains." (
