SUNDAY BEST ... JON KARL to DONALD TRUMP, on a phoner on ABC's "This Week": "Would you be doing late-night Twitter wars with world leaders who insulted you?"
 
 TRUMP: "It's a new way of communicating. It's very effective. I've been very effective with it. ... [B]etween that and Facebook, I have like 15 or 16 million followers. ... Now, other people don't like it, because they have 15 followers. ... [B]etween that and Instagram, I have probably close to 16 million followers. And, frankly, it's a great way of communicating, as far as I'm concerned. But I'm not going to be doing it very much as president."

 MORE TRUMP: "[O]ne of the big things on the Internet was that Trump was 100 percent right about Brussels. ... I haven't even started on Hillary Clinton yet. I'm only focused on the two people I have left. ... I'm going to church in an hour from now and it's going to be - it's a beautiful church. I'm in Florida. And it's just a very special time for me. And it really represents family and get-together ... [Y]ou know, if you're a Christian, it's just a very important day."

--PEEPS SHOW: This year's winner of the Post Magazine's Peeps diorama contest is "A Peep Inside (Out) Donald J. Trump." Hot ticket: "Peepilton the Musical!" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d7fabedd422be33377267c36450ac65ea273c7641978650819 

SNEAK PEEK: "Tonight on Showtime, 'The Circus' contrasts the Trump-Clinton response to Brussels with exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews. From Mar-a-Lago, Trump says he consulted no one before appearing on a round of network television interviews the morning after the attacks. 'I don't have to consult. Look, I say it from my heart and my brain. It's not just heart. It's heart and brain. That's what I do,' Trump said. 'I say what I think is appropriate.' 

"Meanwhile, Clinton held an early morning call with her advisers back in Brooklyn before conducting a similar round of network interviews. Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told 'Circus' cameras on a tour of her campaign headquarters that Trump's spontaneity is no asset when it comes to foreign affairs. 'That may work at one of his rallies, but on a world stage where you need to communicate an even hand and a steady hand, we're happy to have that contrast.'" 2-min.

BUZZ - "The Case for Vice President Al Franken," Bill Scher, progressive pundit, for Politico Magazine: "Trump erases the old standards. Nothing that [Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), a 'Saturday Night Live' alumnus] said decades ago would be remotely as incendiary as the insults Trump spews ... And Trump's presence demands new rhetorical weaponry. ... Clinton will want to stay above the fray, and Franken can provide the buffer. ... Democrats will want their vice presidential choice to ... 1. Prevent Bernie Sanders' energized left-wing youth from snubbing Clinton and flocking to the Green Party; 2. Protect the Rust Belt from Donald Trump's blustery charms; and 3. Navigate an unprecedented media
 circus dominated by Trump ... 

"[W]ith the elimination of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush, ... the electoral incentive for a Latino vice presidential nominee is diminished. ... Speculation has centered on minor Cabinet officials Juli&aacute;n Castro of Housing and Urban Development and Tom Perez of Labor, both a stretch to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. ... [N]either [Sanders nor Warren] is likely to say yes, since both can wield more influence as outside agitators than as Clinton surrogates ... 

"Any senator who voted to support ... Obama's 'fast track' trade promotion authority, helping grease the passage of the hated Trans-Pacific Partnership, wouldn't pass muster with anyone feeling the Bern. That strikes Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, long seen as in the running both as a swing stater and Spanish speaker ... 

"Many eyes will turn to Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio ... Brown was populist before populism was cool ... and as an early endorser, he has Clinton's trust. Most importantly, he hails from the most pivotal battleground state in the industrial Midwest. But Brown ... [i]n Ohio, the governor gets to fill a Senate vacancy. Were Brown to run and win election as vice president, his successor would be appointed by Republican Gov. John Kasich. ... 

"In the 2014 midterms, ... Franken ... stood for refinancing student loan debt and closing the tax loophole that favors hedge fund managers. ... Minnesota's governor is a Democrat who [would] presumably replace Franken ... with another Democrat." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d72ddbe797e622a85f5b7fac7fc63289f78d06c007f3b3cdaa

SANDERS SWEEP! Romps in Washington, Alaska, Hawaii give Bern a "chance to gain ground against Hillary" -- Gabe Debenedetti: "While the underdog's West Coast wins are not nearly enough to trip up ... Clinton's path to the nomination, his wide margin of victory provides ... a burst of momentum heading into a 10-day break before the next primary ... [His] big victories are also typically followed by a considerable fundraising bump." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d7b6d83ad0f9badc2b3b5959acbaa22af56776514fc325c8d4

--WashPost A1, above fold, "Sanders planning a fierce torrent," by Phil Rucker: New York's "April 19 primary looms as potentially determinative: A win by Clinton, who is favored, would further narrow Sanders's path, while a loss in the state she represented as a senator would embarrass her and hand Sanders a rationale to continue campaigning until the final votes are cast in June. ... Sanders plans an aggressive push in New York, modeled after his come-from-behind victory ... in Michigan. ... His advisers ... have commissioned polls to show which contrasts with Clinton - from Wall Street to fracking - could do the most damage to her at home. ... 

"The intensified and scrappy approach by Sanders comes as Clinton is eager to pivot to the general election. ... A potentially ugly primary in New York threatens to derail those efforts. Two popular Democrats currently on the sidelines - President Obama and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) - could help bring the two sides together.

"David Axelrod ... pointed to a third unifying figure: Donald Trump. He noted that Warren last week fired off a flurry of tweets attacking Trump, which he read as an important signal. 'She was sending a message to Democrats that there are bigger things at stake here.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d7a3b27eba955aa9e5c703e3eb5141ec4b5d964d1e649c9e72

--SANDERS WON by 64 points in Alaska, 42 points in Hawaii and 46 points in Washington.

--AP LATEST: Alaska: Sanders 81.6%, Clinton 18.4% ... Hawaii: Sanders 70.6%, Clinton 29.2% ... Washington: Sanders 72.7%, Clinton 27.1%

--DELEGATES: "After Sanders' three wins on Saturday, Clinton held a delegate lead of 1,243 to 975, ... an advantage that expands to 1,712 to 1,004 once the superdelegates are included."

MEDIAWATCH -- "'Massive Game of Telephone' ... Preceded the Ted Cruz Tabloid Rumors," by HuffPost's Michael Calderone: #NeverTrump GOP media guy "Rick Wilson got a call earlier this month from a reporter asking about a potentially ... campaign-ending piece of opposition research: a Ted Cruz sex tape. ... Wilson ... recalled fielding calls from upwards of 20 journalists in one day, hailing from major newspapers and networks." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d7e1fb5df5f36329bb0ff5c6ff76ccc8040505f37a61c12f0c

TOP TALKER - N.Y. Times A1, below fold, "A New Museum Strives to Tell The Full African-American Story," by Graham Bowley (online: "The [Smithsonian's] National Museum of African American History and Culture, opening [on the National Mall, on a five-acre tract adjacent to the Washington Monument, on Sept. 24], had some delicate decisions to make about slavery, Bill Cosby and President Obama"): "[T]he curatorial team (now ... 15) ... has spent more than a decade building the collection, conducting focus groups and consulting authorities like John Hope Franklin, Taylor Branch, Colin L. Powell and Oprah Winfrey. ... 

"In striving for a fuller picture, the museum will include uplifting stories, like those about free black pioneers who farmed the Midwest in the 19th century. ... [W]hile shackles and a whip are shown, the exhibit on slave ships does not try to recreate the wretched conditions. ... 

"The curators say that, even when depicting the worst oppression, they have tried to emphasize individual stories of the people who suffered. ... [M]useum exhibits will feature African-American achievements in fields like music and sports. ... Cosby's inclusion is limited to a few artifacts but was never a matter of debate; he was too significant a figure in entertainment and television to leave out. So the museum will feature a single comedy record 'I Started Out as a Child,' from 1964, ... and brief video clips from 'I Spy' and 'The Cosby Show.' ... 

"[T]he Obama story commands relatively little space - one display case and part of another focusing on 2000 to 2015. There will be, among other things, a clip of his 2008 speech on race in Philadelphia and the text of his 2013 speech at the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. [Lonnie G. Bunch III, 63, the museum's director] said he would leave it to the Obama presidential library ... to give the president greater focus." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d72571e994b3618c2f4878a7c6a3402d36e00bcd0a5f6ccae1

PRESIDENT TRUMP - N.Y. Times 1-col. lead, "FOREIGN POLICY, IN TRUMP'S VIEW, IS ABOUT DEALS: A 100-MINUTE INTERVIEW [spread over two phone calls on Friday] -- A Harder Line Toward Allies in Asia and Middle East," by David Sanger and Maggie Haberman: "[T]he main mechanism by which he would re-establish [America's] central role in the world is economic bargaining. He approached almost every current international conflict through the prism of a negotiation, even when he was imprecise about the strategic goals ... Trump ... called [NATO] 'unfair, economically, to us,' and said he was open to an alternative organization focused on counterterrorism.

"He argued that the best way to halt China's placement of military airfields and antiaircraft batteries ... in the South China Sea was to threaten its access to American markets. ... He did not mention Beijing's ability for economic retaliation. Mr. Trump's views, as he explained them, fit nowhere into the recent history of the Republican Party: He is not in the internationalist camp of President George Bush, nor does he favor President George W. Bush's call to make it the United States' mission to spread democracy around the world.

"He agreed with a suggestion that his ideas might be summed up as 'America First.' 'Not isolationist, but I am America First ... I like the expression. ... We will not be ripped off anymore." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d7c7cf967ee94bd18ae948dca644a9b9f83d5e6bb53399a1e3

TRUMP LEADS IN CALIF. -- L.A. Times, top of Sunday A1, "USC DORNSIFE/TIMES POLL: A grim outlook for the state's fractured GOP ... California Republican voters favor Trump, but he could threaten down-ballot candidates if nominated," by Cathleen Decker (online: "Trump leads in California primary race but threatens a GOP fracture"): The "division sets up the potential of cascading losses down the ballot for Republicans already fighting the tide in one of the nation's most Democratic states, including in a number of contested congressional districts. ... The poll shows Trump leading in most areas of the state except the Central Valley, where conservative voters put Cruz ahead. In Los Angeles
 County, the two are nearly tied. ... 

"The survey showed [Trump] leading among college graduates and those without college degrees, and among almost all ranges of income. There was no distinction between the level of support from men and women." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d740b1a4dde28ff88fd07ee964e453341171b31256acd7b0b5

BEYOND THE BELTWAY -- "Deal reached to boost California's minimum wage to $15, avoiding ballot box battle," by L.A. Times' John Myers and Liam Dillon: "[T]he negotiated deal would boost California's statewide minimum wage from $10 an hour to $10.50 on Jan. 1, 2017, with a 50-cent increase in 2018 and then $1-per-year increases through 2022. Businesses with fewer than 25 employees would have an extra year to comply, delaying their workers receiving a $15 hourly wage until 2023." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=410620c43f10b2d7d98c81e43cec7f2ddde50f427f069ccec159305634d2140e

** A message from Lifeline Facts Campaign: Proposed changes at the FCC would lead to the elimination of the vital mobile voice services that over 12 million Lifeline customers depend upon today. Eliminating affordable mobile voice services for low-income Americans would remove their link to present and potential employers, cut their connection to doctors and other health services, jeopardize their ability to dial 9-1-1 during an emergency, and more. Removing this safety net would deny the nation's most vulnerable populations an essential service and undermine the mission of the Lifeline program.
