POLITICO Playbook: SIREN: Ben Ginsberg sees ‘messy slog’ for GOP into late spring or even July
TRUMP'S PATH TO THE WHITE HOUSE -- "How Donald Trump defeats Hillary Clinton: Obama's black supporters are crucial to a Trump win, and pollsters say he has a chance with this bloc," by Ben Schreckinger: "The rest of Trump's path to general-election victory ... looks like this: After winning the nomination on the first ballot, Trump unifies the party he has fractured behind him and reinvents himself as a pragmatic businessman and family man at the Republican National Convention. News of small-scale terror plots on American soil, foiled or successful, keep voters in a state of anxiety. Trump minimizes his losses with Hispanics by running Spanish-language ads highlighting his support for a strong military and take-charge entrepreneurial attitude, especially in the Miami and Orlando media markets.
"He draws the starkest possible outsider-insider contrast with Hillary Clinton and successfully tars her with her husband's sexual history. If he does all that, holds Mitt Romney's states, and drives extraordinary levels of working-class white voter turnout in the suburbs and exurbs of Ohio and Virginia, as well as in the Florida panhandle and Jacksonville, he can flip those three Obama states and rack up 266 electoral votes. Winning any one of Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Nevada or New Mexico would put him over the top and make Donald John Trump the 45th president of the United States." https://politi.co/20bnel1

Good Tuesday morning - welcome back. TWO SLOGS! We wake up to pieces showing that BOTH party contests could stretch much longer than looked likely when the year started:
SIREN - BEN GINSBERG of Jones Day, the GOP's top election lawyer, writing on Politico, "Why the GOP Primary Could Be Even Crazier Than You Think: An insider's guide to 19 weeks of primary voting": "[T]he better you understand how the 2016 calendar works, the more likely it seems we can face a messy slog that runs into late spring and possibly even into the July convention-an unlikely fate at this point but one that's no longer impossible. In fact, the 2016 calendar quite deliberately avoids having a mid-March nominee. ...
"Traditionally, the Republican nominee is known when more than 68 percent of the delegates have been chosen, which won't happen until April 19 this year. ... [But] Romney's anti-establishment challengers petered out relatively quickly, while ... Trump and ... Cruz ... are continuing to gain momentum just as the voting season begins. ... This will be my seventh cycle working in presidential politics, including previously as a lawyer for the [RNC] and then on George W. Bush's, Mitt Romney's and Scott Walker's campaigns. More than any of the other primary seasons I've seen, this is the year to expect the unexpected."

--"RNC replaces NBC with CNN for February debate," by Hadas Gold: "The [RNC] officially severed ties on Monday with NBC for what was supposed to be a Feb. 26 Republican primary debate in Houston. Instead, CNN will host the debate in Houston on Thursday, Feb. 25, five days before Super Tuesday. The committee voted via conference call Monday after negotiations with NBC failed." https://politi.co/1RQFL54

AND ON THE OTHER SIDE ... N.Y. Times 1-col. lead, "CLINTON GETS SET FOR A LONG SLOG AGAINST SANDERS: SPRAWLING GAME PLAN -- Campaign Believes Path to July Convention Could Be Costly": "The campaign boasted last June ... that it had at least one paid staff member in all 50 states. But the effort did not last, and the staff members were soon let go or reassigned. (Mrs. Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, said they had been hired as temporary workers to sign up volunteers at the start of the campaign, an effort he said had paid off organizationally.) The focus on Iowa ... has been so intense that even organizers in New Hampshire ... have complained to the campaign's leadership that they feel neglected.
"On a call with supporters last week, Mrs. Clinton's aides laid out a scenario in which the race against Mr. Sanders stretched through April, [which] would require about $50 million for a national ground operation and other expenses. ... Sanders has campaign workers ... in all 11 of the states that vote on Super Tuesday. Mrs. Clinton does not, and is relying on union volunteers and members of supportive organizations such as Planned Parenthood to help her. ... The 2016 calendar is still fluid, with primary and caucus dates uncertain in more than a dozen states. ...
"Asked about the discrepancy between the campaigns and whether Mrs. Clinton's team planned to put staff in all of the Super Tuesday states, Marlon Marshall, her director of state campaigns and political engagement, declined to comment specifically, and instead repeated this line three times: 'We've had folks in states for a while.' ... Even if Mrs. Clinton wins in Iowa, where she maintains a slight lead in most polls, Mr. Sanders could receive an outpouring of small donations if the outcome is close that would help him compete in subsequent states. ...
"Sanders's campaign has ... been crunching the delegate math. It says he can outperform Mrs. Clinton with white voters and voters under 45, who favor Mr. Sanders two to one, and pick up delegates in states that have caucuses rather than primaries. His campaign is optimistic in states like Colorado, Minnesota and Wyoming - which hold caucuses, a system that favors the party's most liberal voters." https://nyti.ms/1T0OjFm
--NYT Quotation of the Day -- ROBBY MOOK, Clinton's campaign manager, on the primary battle with Sanders lasting through May or June: "It's not just a question of the first two states, or the first four states. We're going to keep going into the map as long as it takes."

Keep the Promise I ... placed new TV ads to begin airing [today] in Iowa ...

--"Trump flubs Bible verse during speech at Christian university" -- Mashable: "Trump read a verse from Second Corinthians ...

POLITICO LAUNCHING BUDGET/APPROPS NEWSLETTER -- Susan Glasser and Marty Kady email the newsroom: "Todd Lindeman, an award-winning graphics editor at The Washington Post, will be joining POLITICO Pro to help launch a new data-driven project ... We are also launching another new policy vertical soon: a newsletter entirely focused on the budget and appropriations, aimed at virtually any Pro reader who needs to follow the budget process. Ben Weyl, who has been a reporter and editor covering Congress for CQ since 2008, has agreed to be the editor of the new venture for Pro that we plan to launch in time for the president's budget rollout. ...

GREAT READ -- "How the media missed Bernie Sanders," by CNN's Dylan Byers: "Sanders has received vastly less media attention than his chief Democratic opponent ... despite the fact that, like a certain senator before him, he draws far larger crowds, boasts a remarkably enthusiastic volunteer base, and ... set an all-time record with ... campaign contributions last year. Now ... the mainstream media is racing to catch up to a phenomenon that has been abundantly clear to backers, donors and the progressive media for nine months. ...
"The failure to anticipate Sanders' rise points to a deep flaw with American political media, journalists and campaign strategists told CNN: Despite being proven wrong time and time again, many commentators and reporters continue to cling to an unshakeable faith in the conventional wisdom about the campaign while often ignoring realities on the ground." With cameos by Dan Pfeiffer, Jeff Weaver and April Ryanhttps://cnn.it/1QaSs6W
--"Republican Operatives Are Trying to Help Bernie Sanders," by Bloomberg's Sahil Kapur: "During Sundaynight's Democratic debate, the [RNC] made the unusual move of sending no fewer than four real-time e-mails to reporters defending the self-described democratic socialist from attacks by Hillary Clinton or echoing his message against her. ... [O]ne could be forgiven for thinking the RNC communiques came from the Sanders campaign.
"One RNC e-mail, which was titled 'Clinton's Misleading Health Care Attack,' defended the Vermont senator from what it described as 'the Clinton campaign's inaccurate remarks on Sanders' single-payer plan,' and quoted news articles that featured rebuttals of her arguments. ... Sean Spicer, the chief strategist and spokesman for the RNC, spent much of the evening tweeting Sanders-friendly commentary on the debate, often with the pro-Sanders hashtag, #FeelTheBern. At one point, Spicer gently chided Sanders for what he deemed a poor response to a question and added, 'come on we are trying to help u.'" https://bloom.bg/1lpWsFA
