TOMORROW'S TIMES TODAY - "Obama After Dark: The Precious Hours Alone," by Mike Shear: "Obama has dinner at 6:30 with his wife and daughters and then withdraws to the Treaty Room, his private office down the hall from his bedroom on the second floor of the White House residence. There, ... he spends four or five hours largely by himself. ... The president ... watches ESPN, reads novels or plays Words With Friends on his iPad. 

"Michelle Obama occasionally pops in, but she goes to bed before the president, who is up so late he barely gets five hours of sleep a night. ... To stay awake, the president does not turn to caffeine. He rarely drinks coffee or tea ... His friends say his only snack at night is seven lightly salted almonds." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e663697405abed3b395f302a4053aeb3a071f6c2f0736ee6fd30f

Good Saturday morning, and happy Fourth weekend to you and yours. Coming to you from United Wi-Fi, en route from Denver after Aspen Ideas Festival. Will head straight from Dulles to my brother's place on Lake Gaston. Half of the Allen family's Oregon branch is already there. 

It's 16 days to Cleveland, 23 days to Philly, 130 days to Election Day -- and 60 days since Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee with his Indiana victory.

SUBJECT LINE DU JOUR - From Donald J. Trump: "I haven't heard from you" (Maybe he meant that for Schreck!) ... JOHN PODESTA email to Hillary's list: "You could be the person who nominates Hillary at the convention!"

JUST POSTED - "Ryan does Trump damage control in Silicon Valley: Even in San Francisco, the House speaker can't escape the shadow of Trump," by Tony Romm: "Republicans' fundraising has already taken a hit after months of Trump's rhetorical shots - from skewering tech's biggest players to making incendiary comments about women, minorities and immigrants. By the end of May, the [NRCC] had pulled in only $79,000 from Silicon Valley-based tech donors, down ... from ... $211,000 the committee had raised from those donors by the same point in 2012, according to ... Crowdpac, a nonpartisan website that tracks campaign finance.

"The [NRSC] has fared about the same, collecting $85,000 in tech donations from the region ... That's down nearly 70 percent from the $266,000 the committee raised by this point in 2012 from that group. The fundraising numbers paint a grim picture for a GOP that's long been eager to make headway with tech executives." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e6636123e4a3f72e516df306ee25d58c1d58d6d8788c2811e06bb

SWING STATE SATURDAY - Denver Post lead story, "Trump, Colo. GOP still aren't aligned," by John Frank (online: "Trump not ready to bury the hatchet with Colorado Republicans"): "[He] made his debut in the state at the Western Conservative Summit only to again lament Colorado's caucus as a 'rigged system' that cost him national delegates [to Cruz] ... just as the party wanted to move forward with a unified vision ahead of the convention ... 

"Trump predicted a 'tremendous victory' in Colorado ... 'We do have to win Colorado. I will be back a lot, don't worry about it. I will be back a lot.' Trump attended a fundraiser at the home of former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e6636afe120e1fec6054a293dc8f232563029defd0488737aa9c9

--"Trump aide quits during third week on job, calls experience 'interesting,'" by Patrick Reis: Kevin Kellems' note: "To whom it may concern: i hereby resign my appointment as Director of Surrogates for Mr. Trump. While brief, it has been an interesting experience ... Look forward to running across several of you going forward.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e66361b9ec72844e4b1baf2dc19fa315f452b5f9892903b1bfeb7 

--Trump campaign statement: Trump "has hired Kellyanne Conway [to join] his senior campaign team. ... Karen Giorno has joined ... as a senior political advisor."

SCENARIOS - HOLMAN JENKINS column in WSJ, "Trump's Would Be No Ordinary Defeat: How would Donald behave if he decides he can't win and won't throw good money after bad?": "Base-broadening campaigns require lots of paid TV to reach non-engaged voters and Trump skeptics, pummeling them with reassuring images suggesting that a Trump presidency would be OK. Mr. Trump not only is unwilling or unable to finance such a campaign. He evidently is unwilling to do what's necessary to entice GOP donors to finance it on his behalf.

"This means GOP officeholders ... can expect a constant headwind of inflammatory Trump statements designed to stimulate ... free media coverage ... Republican candidates ... therefore become unwilling sharers of a high-risk Trump electoral wager, a gamble more likely to end in a Hillary landslide than a Trump White House. ... Look for [campaign vendors to] quickly to cut off services rather than get stiffed in the inevitable Trump campaign bankruptcy filing. ... 

"[L]ikely, he will simply and coldbloodedly toss the ball to the GOP, saying, in effect, 'If you want to pay for some events or TV, I'm available. Otherwise I'm done.' The GOP would then have to shoulder the dual burden of propping up a minimally respectable Trump campaign while also distancing its down-ballot candidates from Mr. Trump ... He might well decide to cover his retreat ... with a flurry of lawsuits and conspiracy theories about a 'rigged' election. ... 

"The thing [Republicans worried about House and Senate majorities] should fear most: An autumn dynamic in which Mr. Trump believes the best outcome for him personally is one that does as much damage as possible to the long-run GOP cause." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e663650fcc01f168d9f71ed5ac975f9402495e93c471e4d678f5c

FORECAST -- Barron's cover, "WILL THE GOP LOSE CONGRESS? No matter what happens with Trump and Clinton this fall, we predict Republicans will keep control of the House but lose the Senate. What it means for investors," by John Kimelman: "If the GOP manages to hold on to the Senate, it may be due to contests in Florida and Pennsylvania ... [With a Clinton White House, Dem Senate and R House, some] see room for some compromise on drug-price reform and perhaps even on taxes." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e663602f8cbbc102493f343e94a97a5f2218cf6b2f4b4ed457f93

IF YOU READ ONLY 1 THING - PEGGY NOONAN, "A World in Crisis, and No Genius in Sight: An old order is being swept away, and political leaders everywhere seem lost": "There was a small genius cluster in World War II-FDR, Churchill, de Gaulle. ... There was a genius cluster in the 1980s- John Paul II, Reagan, Thatcher, Vaclav Havel, Lech Walesa ... The military genius cluster of World War II-Marshall, Eisenhower, Bradley, Montgomery, Patton, MacArthur, Nimitz, Bull Halsey, Stilwell-almost rivaled that of the Civil War-Grant, Lee, Stonewall, Sherman, Sheridan, Longstreet. ...

"Terrorism, waves of immigration transforming whole nations, Islam at war with itself and parts of it at war with the world. In the West, the epochal end of public faith in institutions, and a dreadful new tension between the leaders and the led. In both background and foreground is a technological revolution that has actually changed how people experience life. It is a world crying out for bigness, wisdom, steady hands and steady eyes. We could use a genius cluster." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e6636940224010bd6128e9382964e89eebad8cba064621c6dd4b7

SPOTTED: Newt and Callista Gingrich having dinner Thursday night at The Source

"Newt was in a charcoal suit. Callista was in a cream dress." ... Phil Musser chatting with Gary Johnson, who was wearing jeans, T-shirt and a backpack -- and pretty incognito at the Lark Creek Grill in Terminal 2 at SFO, en route to the Bill Maher show. Musser was returning from an RGA meeting -- Johnson used to be a member.

PRESIDENT CLINTON II - Boston Globe p. 1, "Liberals list Cabinet picks for Clinton: Progressive Democrats don't want to be left out," by Annie Linskey: "[A]ctivists are preparing for a behind-the-scenes tussle over key economic appointments at the Treasury Department, White House ... Spearheading the effort is a New York-based liberal think tank called the Roosevelt Institute, whose top economists include a prominent Warren ally. Staff members from the institute have been interviewing hundreds of progressive economists and other professionals who could fill posts throughout a Clinton administration." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e6636a6a792b85d2b18501940013782b18e7db5aa7d96771b47ab 

AIRS TONIGHT - AP Entertainment Writer Mike Cidoni Lennox: "Garrison Keillor served up a bittersweet farewell for some 18,000 fans at the Hollywood Bowl, as he hosted his final episode of ... 'A Prairie Home Companion.' ... (Obama [called] in for a special segment recorded earlier Friday) ... The 73-year-old Keillor delivered one last 'Lives of the Cowboys' comedy sketch as well as 'News from Lake Wobegon,' ... a fictional town where 'all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.' ... 

"'Companion' attracts more than three million public-radio listeners in the U.S. ... [I]t will return with new episodes in October with an updated format and new host, Chris Thile.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, who oversees NHTSA, is expected to issue guidelines for autonomous vehicles this month. ... Those guidelines were expected to focus on fully self-driving cars, which are different from the Tesla Model S that was involved in the fatal crash ... 

"But the Florida accident could lead transportation officials to add guidelines for autonomous features such as autopilot, said Karl Brauer, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=57bab127038e66360b9b16bb92883cd2b011d1cb45c9851f51eb94f46c7f9fa5

ISIS CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY - "Savage attack on oasis of calm in Dhaka shakes expat community," by Reuters' Serajul Quadir and Ruma Paul in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh: "[T]he rampage ... left 20 civilians [including 9 Italians], two police and six gunmen dead ...

** A message from Walmart: We're working hard to power the next generation of American manufacturers.
