Good Saturday morning. TOMORROW is Father's Day. TODAY is 30 days to Cleveland, 37 days to Philly, and 143 days to Election Day.

SENATE RACE RANKINGS by Politico's Kevin Robillard, in order of each seat's likelihood of switching parties: 1. Illinois ... 2. Wisconsin ... 3. Florida ... 4. New Hampshire ... 5. Pennsylvania ... 6. Ohio ... 7. Nevada ... 8. North Carolina ... 9. Missouri ... 10. Arizona ... 11. Colorado ... 12. Iowa ... 13. Kentucky ... 14. Arkansas ... 15. Louisiana http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea33d7b17a71cbce2810a1b8a3f308d205ce7619d7183fa5fd1

TRUMP VEEPSTAKES - "Trump's performance raises hard question: Who'd want to be his V.P.?" by Eli Stokols and Burgess Everett: "Christie and Gingrich are both skilled communicators who could perform credibly on the convention stage and in a head-to-head debate with their Democratic counterpart in the fall. Both also bring the political experience Trump lacks. But there's another, simpler reason why these two white men, both more representative of the Republican Party's past than its future, have emerged as finalists: They actually want the job." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea3841eb9e7b35c57a0bebf64e294913d30b3ed2d30952063a1

CLINTON VEEPSTAKES - "Julian Castro says he's not being vetted for vice president," by AP's Paul Weber in San Antonio: "U.S. Housing Secretary Julian Castro said Friday he isn't being vetted as a potential running mate for ... Clinton and continued to maintain that he is unlikely to be offered the job. But the 41-year-old rising star among Democrats wouldn't say one way or the other whether he would accept if Clinton asked him." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea3910cc3a4ee63b9803597c90bbdf1b7ad7a8ae6706a1a6cb3

SUMMER ONSLAUGHT - "Democrats to give Trump 'rude awakening,'" by AP's Lisa Lerer in D.C. and Julie Bykowicz in New Orleans, with Jonathan Lemire in N.Y.: "Clinton and her Democratic allies have invested at least $27 million in commercials in ... Ohio, Florida and Nevada over the next six weeks ... Those messages will be echoed by hundreds of Clinton workers in those same states and amplified by President Barack Obama and other top Democrats.

"Trump ... has no advertising plans and is just now hiring employees in important states. Republican leaders are far from in agreement on how best to talk to voters about the polarizing billionaire, or if they will at all. And Trump is running out of time: Early voting starts in Iowa in just 3 1/2 months. 'It's political malpractice,' said Mitch Stewart, Obama's 2012 battleground states director and a Clinton backer. 'He's in for a rude awakening. This isn't a national vote contest where you can be on cable news every day and dominate coverage. This is literally going state by state and coming up with a plan in each.' ... 

"Clinton's latest spots, highlighting her past advocacy for children, are an attempt to reintroduce [her. But] ... voters are also hearing from Priorities USA, a super political action committee financed by ... Clinton's staunchest supporters. The goal of those ads: cast Trump as a con-man and bully unprepared to be commander in chief. ... It's a strategy Democrats successfully used four years ago against Obama's GOP opponent, Mitt Romney. Over that summer, Priorities USA relied on an intensely negative advertising campaign to define Romney as unconcerned with the worries of average Americans." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea3ca0d887db7df3fcc9d59c9660183a0c83eda65e57acf4b8e 

AIR WAR -- Center for Public Integrity's Dave Levinthal: "[L]ast week alone, Team Clinton aired about 3,400 ad spots - mostly eviscerating Trump - on broadcast and national cable television, according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis of data from media tracking firm Kantar Media/CMAG. The Trump campaign aired no such TV ads at all, while a supportive super PAC managed fewer than 100." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea32e3b17fad5c1376b4d025783fc1179aaca105d44534a5e67 

TOP TWEETS -- @SchreckReports: "On the phone with a former Trump adviser: "I bet if someone offered him $150 million to drop out, he would." ... @BillKristol replies: "Done. Dinner in NY Monday, private room at Daniel, reservation under name of @Reince. 15 billionaires, $10m each."

--@seanspicer: "Regarding all of the discussion about the RNC Rules committee - see attached" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea39658d239cfb8770f527d4c1aee2a9828cd3cad7fe91c08d4 ... SEAN'S STATEMENT: "Donald Trump bested 16 highly qualified candidates and received more primary votes than any candidate in Republican Party history. All of the discussions about the RNC Rules Committee acting to undermine the presumptive nominee is silly. There is no organized effort, strategy or leader of this so-called movement. It is nothing more than a media creation and a series of tweets. Sean M Spicer."

TOUGH BUT FAIR -- Cover of WashPost Magazine, "The Can-Do Senator in a Can't-Do Congress: Why, after six year of maddening frustration, Michael Bennet [D-Colo.] wants to return to the Senate," by Steve Pearlstein -- 14 pages (!) in print mag: "Bennet is the anti-Trump, the anti-Cruz - but also the anti-Hillary, straightforward and authentic. In many ways, he is a throwback to a bygone era, an optimist with impeccable establishment credentials who finds himself miscast for today's politics of anti-establishment anger and resentment. The Bennets, whose ancestors arrived on the Mayflower, have been a part of Washington's Democratic establishment since the Roosevelt administration. 

"Michael's father, Doug, served as a top staffer to Sens. Humphrey, Eagleton and Muskie, ran unsuccessfully for a House seat in Connecticut, held top State Department jobs under Presidents Carter and Clinton and served as president of National Public Radio. ... 'Dad didn't push us in any direction - he just set a powerful example,' said Bennet's [younger] brother, James, ... editorial page editor of the New York Times."  http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea394b1f315dbf35e0a8dfaa6c2d88767a5b05ed8adb1916c7d

FRAME GAME - "U.S. Democrats' new line on gun control: Do it for national security," by Reuters' Richard Cowan and Doina Chiacu: "Democrats pushing for gun curbs after the latest mass shooting in the United States are co-opting a Republican mantra ... Votes on four measures were scheduled Monday in the U.S. Senate, two sponsored by Democrats and two by Republicans." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea32dc1fac0b1c74799f98f0b60ae211d6a7052ddc1a281f801

SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE - "Attempt to hold pan-Orthodox synod stalls over disputes" - AP/Moscow: "The Holy and Great Council, set to open Sunday on the Greek island of Crete, was to be the first meeting of all Orthodox leaders since the year 787, when the last of the seven councils recognized by both Orthodox and Catholics was held. The meeting is still on, but with the Russian Orthodox Church and three others staying away, its pan-Orthodox aura has faded. ... [P]reparations [for the gathering] began 55 years ago." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea38434ec0b7202938aec8d7edeae4157584da37365e254a764

--NYT A15, "Marco Rubio, Reversing Plans, Is Leaning Toward Running for Senate Again," by Jeremy W. Peters: "One adviser who described the senator as 'all in' said Mr. Rubio's staff members had already begun scouting a site for a possible announcement. ... Ever restless, strategic and ambitious - and only 45 years old - Mr. Rubio has spent the past few weeks discussing with his friends and colleagues the difficulties he would face maintaining his political profile if he left the Senate. He would like to run for the presidency again, either in 2020 or 2024, and is concerned that his opportunities would be far more limited if he were no longer in office."

TOMORROW'S TIMES TODAY -- "Words of Obama's Father Still Waiting to Be Read by His Son: Letters written long ago by Barack Obama Sr. shed new light on a young Kenyan whose ambitions helped change the course of U.S. history. But for the president, they may also revive old pain," by Rachel L. Swarns: "The archivist stumbled across the file in a stack of boxes on the second floor of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. The yellowing letters inside dated back more than half a century, chronicling the dreams and struggles of a young man in Kenya.

"He was ambitious and impetuous, a 22-year-old clerk who could type 75 words a minute and translate English into Swahili. But he had no money for college. So he pounded away on a typewriter in Nairobi, pleading for financial aid from universities and foundations across the Atlantic. ... 'It has been my long cherished ambition to further my studies in America,' he wrote in 1958. His name was Barack Hussein Obama, and his dispatches helped unleash a stream of scholarship money that carried him from Kenya to the United States. There, he fathered the child who would become the nation's first black president, only to vanish from his son's life a few years after his birth."

--"Cecile Richards, Barbara Bush and the Sisterhood of Political Progeny," by Philip Galanes in the NYT's "Tables for Three" column in Sunday Styles -- GALANES: 'Let's start with Nora Ephron, who said that, as a kid, she dreamt of being the president's daughter because of all the attention she'd get, especially from boys. Did that indirect spotlight appeal to you?' BARBARA BUSH: 'I really didn't notice it. I was so young. When I was 8, I asked a friend when her grandfather's inauguration was. I had just been to my grandfather's, and I assumed everybody had one.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=fd6702cb69aebea3563d32e605197474b8bdec321b736fd54bfd94e04db41945

Classifying him as a tragic figure is neither myopic nor an act of bad faith. To the contrary, this view properly treats Ali's slow destruction of himself as a transgression against God's vision, not the fulfillment of it; exalts man over myth, husband and dad over icon, real life over historical legacy." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=297a0d97305edf2034c69535a6fdb9e57b3b8f0b1bdee9c1dfa610c83fda8f0a
