Democratic delegate rules, 2020
In 2020, there will be an estimated 4,532 delegates: 3,768 pledged delegates and 764 automatic delegates—more commonly known as superdelegates.[1]
To win the Democratic nomination, a presidential candidate must receive support from a majority of the pledged delegates on the first ballot—an estimated 1,885 pledged delegates. If the convention is contested and goes to a second ballot or more, automatic delegates will be able to vote and a candidate must receive majority support from all delegates—an estimated 2,267 delegates
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders: Two Liberals Aiming for the Same Target
Neither Ms. Warren’s campaign nor that of Mr. Sanders will say at this point that they are deliberately eyeing each other, even though they are the candidates — out of more than 20 — who most represent the Democratic Party’s left flank.
Here‘s what @TuckerCarlson last night extensively quoting and praising @ewarren‘s economic plan, contrasting it with the inability of the GOP to defend US workers because they‘re in servitude to the Koch Brothers, corporatism & libertarian economic theory

Warren’s ‘Economic Patriotism’ Plan Beats Trump at His Own Game
(04.06.2019)
“If they can close up an American factory and ship jobs overseas to save a nickel, that’s exactly what they will do — abandoning loyal American workers and hollowing out American cities along the way.”
The senator then turns her fire on the politicians who abetted these betrayals — mocking their attempts to use “globalization” as an alibi. “Globalization isn’t some mysterious force whose effects are inevitable and beyond our control,” she notes. “No — America chose to pursue a trade policy that prioritized the interests of capital over the interests of American workers.”
In the last 40 years, corporations have squeezed everything they can out of workers while giving massive compensation to those on top. The result: half of Americans have virtually no wealth and live paycheck to paycheck. We’re going to create an economy that works for all.

Iowa Poll: Joe Biden leads, followed by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg
Twenty-four percent of Iowa’s likely Democratic caucusgoers say former vice president Biden is their first choice for president. Sanders, a Vermont senator, is the first choice for 16% of poll respondents, while Warren, a Massachusetts senator, and Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, are at 15% and 14% respectively.
2020 Democrats will be tripping over each other in Iowa this weekend
And if the tone of last weekend‘s party convention in California is any indication, the speakers can also be expected to use their time to swipe at the frontrunners — either hitting Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from the right, or jabbing former Vice President Joe Biden from the left. The shindig will also present yet another opportunity for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the rising progressive from Massachusetts, to highlight her message — which went over so well out west — and entrench herself among the top tier of contestants.

Kahol Lavan Goes AWOL
Also, back in April, neither Kahol Lavan chairman Benny Gantz nor leading party figure Gabi Ashkenazi bothered to attend the seminar for new MKs, meant to prepare them for working in the Knesset.
Taken together, these reports paint an unflattering picture of an amateurish, disorganized, lazy opposition party. Despite the military background of some of its leaders, formulating a strategy and pursuing it with determination and consistency doesn’t appear to be the party’s modus operandi.
U.S. Ambassador Says Israel Has Right to Annex Parts of West Bank
Israel has a right to annex at least some, but “unlikely all,” of the West Bank, the United States ambassador, David M. Friedman, said in an interview, opening the door to American acceptance of what would be an enormously provocative act.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to begin annexing Jewish settlements in the West Bank, a move that would violate international law and could be a fatal blow to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Boris Johnson vows to deliver Brexit and keep hold of the promised £39BILLION divorce payment as he insists only he can steer the country away from Farage and Corbyn – as he reveals he hung up on Donald Trump because he thought it was a hoax
Johnson said someone with a mild Irish accent had called him claiming to be from the Downing Street switchboard, saying they would put him through to the White House situation room.
The Tory frontrunner said: ‚Thinking quickly as I do, I said, „To all our listeners on Radio Kilkenny, I was not fooled for an instant“.‘

Ein Bericht von Frederico Füllgraf.
Druck auf EU: Johnson droht mit Zahlungsstopp
Der britische Ex-Außenminister und Favorit für die Nachfolge von Premierministerin Theresa May, Boris Johnson, versucht beim Brexit Härte gegenüber der Europäischen Union (EU) zu demonstrieren. Er würde die vereinbarten Ausstiegszahlungen von 39 Milliarden Pfund (knapp 44 Milliarden Euro) zurückhalten, um bei der EU bessere Konditionen auszuhandeln, sagte Johnson der „Sunday Times.“

Germany braced for catastrophic Trump auto tariffs – which could create a perfect storm for Europe
US taxes on car imports could act as a massive jolt to the bloc’s economy, wiping €14.5bn (£12.9bn) off GDP, according to analysis from investment advisers, Redburn. The firm’s economists believe a “nasty turn” in EU-US trade tensions is coming, which when combined with market nerves over Italian debt, could shake the eurozone.
If the US presses ahead with tariffs, Germany, which relies on carmaking for a fifth of its manufacturing activity, could see 0.28pc shaved from its GDP alone, Redburn claims.
