Scott Taylor won ... with a feisty grassroots campaign after being outspent almost 10-to-1 by U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes, a eight-term legislator who was trying to move from his home district to a supposedly friendlier one nearby." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41fcc44b269bad4dee795c5bfb2e83ed351d5b042053e8be456 

GAME CHANGE -- "Trump's Twitter army: New data show the GOP nominee's followers are exactly what Dems hoped they weren't -- reliable voters," by Darren Samuelsohn: "According to an analysis obtained by POLITICO that matches Twitter handles to public voter data, seven out of every 10 of @realdonaldtrump's followers appear to be his supporters. The report, produced by San Antonio database marketing agency Stirista, also found that nearly 90 percent of Trump's followers are reliable turn outs at the ballot box; roughly 11 percent of Trump's followers should be classified as first-time presidential voters." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41f05d62da6e9455240cebe4a5a4383aabed70bf64514e66176 ...

N.Y. TIMES QUOTATION OF THE DAY -- PRESIDENT OBAMA, on the political rhetoric in the aftermath of the shooting in Orlando: "If we fall into the trap of painting all Muslims with a broad brush and imply that we are at war with an entire religion, then we are doing the terrorists' work for them." 2-col. lead of the paper, "OBAMA CONDEMNS TRUMP'S RESPONSE TO FLORIDA ATTACK: Candidate Renews Searing Talk on Terror, as Party Leaders Keep Their Distance," by Julie Davis and Matt Flegenheimer  http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41f8a2c9bca1a4312bd82f4464a6f21af5160bce1be69567c1d

JEFFREY GOLDBERG, TheAtlantic.com, "What Obama Actually Thinks About Radical Islam": "Obama, in my reading, does not-contra his right-leaning critics-suffer illusions about the pathologies afflicting the broader Muslim world. If anything, his pessimism on matters related to the dysfunctions of Muslim states, and to the inability of the umma-the worldwide community of Muslims-to contain and ultimately neutralize the extremist elements in its midst, has, at times, an almost-paralyzing effect on him." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41fbe5000026c708570b2a85752c70e971543ab9fde05f2de08

Times A1, bottom of page, "USC DORNSIFE / TIMES POLL: Sanders voters back Clinton, tepidly -- Survey results show how she might win over more of his fans," by Cathleen Decker: "Even with only partial support so far from Sanders' voters, Clinton defeats presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, who has vowed to contest California, by 30 percentage points in a projected general-election matchup. ... 25% of Sanders' voters - especially those who were male and independents, not registered Democrats - said nothing could persuade them to side with Clinton." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41fa4c904de703746ae163e943a81262de69eaf510c5f07ebb5

HEADLINE HISTORY, by Daniel Lippman: Trump announced for president one year ago tomorrow, June 16, 2015, at Trump Tower in NYC.

--The photo caption: "Business mogul Donald Trump is running for president, but some say he's stealing attention from more legitimate contenders."

--From USA Today's article: "While Trump seems to take his candidacy seriously, it's hard to find a political analyst who sees him as a credible contender for the nomination ... At the moment, Trump is ninth in the GOP field."

--NYT's story was on A16: "Pushing Someone Rich, Trump Offers Himself," by Alex Burns, who had the most prescient graf of all first day stories in the major papers: "Trump, who has never held elective office, may not be so easily confined to the margins of the 2016 campaign. Thanks to his enormous media profile, he stands a good chance of qualifying for nationally televised debates, where his appetite for combat and skill at playing to the gallery could make him a powerfully disruptive presence." See p. A16. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41f8ba0d61a5c98ca5900cbff6693e18c2fccafb385282ef5ee

WSJ's front-page that day buried a small Trump "What's News" refer in the bottom left-hand corner -- "Trump said he will seek the GOP presidential nomination, a move that will force rivals to compete for attention." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41f9bacedc97c2372130c48c62b96d32710184883bdcc97bfed

--From Ben's story: "[M]embers of team Trump spent the hour before the event out in the streets of midtown Manhattan trying to lure tourists in to fill out the crowd. A man in a pressed suit who would say only that he 'worked for Trump' offered passersby free T-shirts and already-made signs, many handwritten, to hold if they would come on in and see the show. 'Only in New York,' he said to a group of tourists. 'Come inside and make some memories.'"

MEDIAWATCH -- "Donald Trump: I won't kick reporters out of White House press briefing room," by CNN's Brian Stelter: "At the White House, 'it's a different thing,' Trump told CNN in a telephone interview Tuesday night. He repeatedly said he would not try to revoke any press credentials if elected president. 'In my case, I'm a person running for office. I rent these large arenas... so I have an option' to deny access to members of the media, Trump said. 'When I'm representing the United States, I wouldn't do that. But I would let people know if somebody's untruthful.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=3e50952426e3d41f530b789f97a3934605a3647adec5d667fd1d4cdb0a869351

While 'Meet the Press' viewership has declined over the years (though it's improved lately and was in spitting distance of CBS News' 'Face the Nation' in May), its Facebook following has more than doubled to 321,297 as of May, well ahead of its closest competitor, 'Fox News Sunday,' which has 200,965 fans, according to Social Bakers. 'Meet the Press' is posting an average of 281 times a month, up from 50 times two years ago."
