And analysis from the roundtable at the most critical moment yet of 2016. From abc news, its this week. Here now, chief anchor george stephanopoulos. What will happen next . Has campaign virls gone viral . Those are the questions this week. Chicago friday night. A trump rally canceled after protesters clash with Trump Supporters. Dayton saturday afternoon. Trump startled when a protester storms the stage. Look at the secret Service Circle around him fast. And overnight in kansas city, police use pepper stray outsitd a trump rally, arrest four. After a trump supporter was protester. Jon karl starts us off. Reporter in florida, the republican candidates were on their best behavior. I cannot believe how civil its been up here. Reporter just 24 hours ugly and dangerous new phase. Protesters clashing with Trump Supporters in chicago, forcing the cancellation of a rally friday night. And on the campaign trail saturday, this frightening scene. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Reporter a protester attempted to charge at donald trump. I was ready for him. But its much easier if the cops do it. Reporter protests at trump rallies are so common place, theyve become as much a part of the show as his promise to build a wall. You know what they did to guys like that in place like in this they would be carried out on a stretcher. I would like to punch him in the face. Ill pay for the legal fees. I promise. Reporter in north carolina, the world saw a trump supporter do exactly what donald trump has called for. Suckerpunches a protester as he was being escorted out. Now trumps rivals are openly accusing him of sowing the seeds of chaos. The job of a true leader is not to stoke peoples anger. Donald trump has created a toxic environment. Encouraging violence is wrong. Thats why ive called it out. Reporter president obama weighed in, too. Those who aspire to be our leaders, should be trying to bring us together and not turning us against one another. Reporter trump isnt backing down. Blaping the chaos on professional rabblerousers. We want to get along with everybody. But when they have organized professionally staged wise guys, weve got to fight back. Reporter but as the campaign has taken its ugly turn, trumps opponents are now waivering on the promise to support him if he wins the nomination. Do you support him as the nominee if hes the nominee . I dont know. Getting harder every day. And jon karl joins us now. Boy, you saw senator rubio look back. Weve not seen this violence on the campaign trail since 1968. Its hard to look at what is happening now and not think 1968. You had violent clashes on the streets. Drupgss on the the floor of the democratic convention. George i have been to trump rallies all over the country. Its important to say that the overwhelming majority of Trump Supporters are entirely peaceful. Overwhelming majority of the protesters are peaceful. I have never seen a situation where you have the candidate himself encouraging, condoning violence from the podium. We dont know yet what effect this will have on the voting, the big states coming up on tuesday. Its hard to say. Thousands of people have already voted in florida and ohio because of early voting. In the short run, this may help trump, as you have a reaction in all the contests, nearly half the country has voted so far, trump has not gained a majority of republicans. If he wants to win, he needs to unifie republicans. And ultimately, going a long way to unifie the country. Thats not the direction this is going. Now to the candidates. We begin with senator ted cruz in missouri. Few, george. Good to be with you. We have seen these extraordinary scenes at the trump rallies. You have said they encourage the vals. You believe mr. Trump is encouraging this violence . Well, lets be clear. First of all, the protesters were in the wrong. You come up, use violence, engage in violence, you threat. Violence. You try to shut shut down and shout down speech, thats not what the First Amendment allows. It gives us the right to speak, but not to disrupt others. But i think also in any campaign, the responsibility and it is not beneficial when you have a candidate like donald trump who is telling his protesters, punch that guy in the face. You know, i mean, i dont think you should be encouraging people to violence. And i think beyond that, you know, we need a a candidate who respects the people. Who engages, even engages the protesters with civility and respect. Not with hostility. I think, you know, what i would appeal to for every candidate is decency and civility. We can disagree and disagree forcefully while still respecting each other and not engaging in insults and vul violence. He says this is being preplanned and organized by his opponents. Do you believe this might be a conscious strategy on his part to drive out his vote . I dont know. I do know that his approach to every issue is simply to use angry rhetoric. Often to engage in insults. Auchb to curse and yell. And thats not a productive solution. Listen, were all frustrated. Were angry. I understand the people that are voting for donald trump. Theyre angry with washington. With politician who is have lied to us. Im angry too. Donald has been enmeshed in the washington corruption for four 40 years. If you want to fix it, all of us are frustrated with the current situation. We need a president who understands the way to fix it. The way to fix it is Small Businesses. Is unleashing Small Businesses through repealing obamacare. Passing a flat tax. Lifting regulations. Donald focuses on washington and deal maiking and big business. Donald trump is the system. He is washington. And hes part of the problem. Both marco rubio and john kasich say what theyre seeing right now is making it more difficult to support mr. Trump if hes the nominee. Is it making it more difficult for you . Well, listen. The approach to donald, i think if donald trump is the nominee, i think it is a disaster. I think its ady zaster per republicans, conservatives, for the country. If donald is the nominee, it makes it much, much more likely that Hillary Clinton wins the general. 65 to 70 of the republicans understand that. That tonld is a disaster in the general election. The answer is not to cry in your beer about it. Its not what the washington establish h ment is doing, trying to have a brokered convention. If you want to beat donald trump, the answer is to beat him at the ballot box. Thats what were doing. Our campaign has beaten him eight different times. All over the country. Literally from alaska to maine and everywhere in between. Were seeing republicans uniting behind our campaign because were the only candidate that is in a position to beat donald trump to earn 1237 delegates and become the republican nomination. Were seeing republicans unite. I know you believe you can beat him. I have to press this a little bit. If you believe donald trump and his campaign are encouraging violence, how could you support him in hes the nominee . Isnt that a line that should not be condoned . Crossing that line, shouldnt that not be condoned . And im not condoning it. Im encouraging everyone to focus on decency, civility, appealing to our better angels. My focus is on winning. Winning the nomination. Let me be clear. Hillary clinton would be a disaster for this country. If Hillary Clinton is the president , we will lose this Supreme Court for a generation. The Second Amendment will be effectively erased from the bill of rights. Religious liberty will be gone. Jobs will keep flying america. I dont want to see my childrens future taken away by president. The way to prevent that is for republicans to continue uniting behind our campaign. This week, i was endorsed by carly ffiorina. Mark levin. We are seeing con seven tiffs uniting behind our campaign. As that continues to happen, i believe were on a path to beating donald trump. You have also said, a brokered convention would lead to revolt. Do you accept mr. Trumps standard that whoever has the lead in delegates going into the convention should be the nominee . A brokered convention and a contested convention. A brokered convention, theres a dead locke lock deadlock. The washington deal makers come in. That would be a disaster. Theres a difference two w a contested convention. Two candidates come in, neck and neck. We saw this in 1976 with rag and ford, and the delegates decide. Using the rules of the rnc they vote. So even if youre number two, you could be the nominee . If we both go into the convention and have a big chunk and are both shy of 1237, the delegates decide. Thats how it works. That is allowing the voters to decide. The best approach is get to 1237 before the convention. And if you look at the delegates right now, we have 362. Domd has 99 more than we to. Everyone else is way, way, way below. So what i would say to folks at home, everyone if you started this campaign supporting somebody else. Even if youre thinking of supporting marco rubio or john kasich. Theyre both good, honorable, decent men. I like and respect both of them. Neither one of them to have a possibility to beat donald trump. Its mathematically impossible. If youre thinking of supporting one of them, we would welcome you to our team. If you dont want to see donald trump as the nominee. Or Hillary Clinton as the president , then come join us. Were seeing millions of republicans uniting and doing just that. Senator cruz, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you, george. God bless. And were joined now from cleveland by governor john kasich. Thank you for joining us again this morning. We have to begin with the remarkable series of events this week end. You have said, mr. Trump has created this toxic environment. If thats true, if hes responsible, as you say, for preying on peoples fears, how can you say youll still support him if hes the nominee . George, look, i said in the debate when they asked, i said, yes, but sometimes its really tough. The last debate that he was in, as you know, they all sort of caught the contagious positivity that ive displayed and things calmed down. But nothings 100 . I mean, im i like i hope to be able to support whoever the nominee is. But i have to tell you, george, nominee. Im going to win in ohio. Were rising all across the country. And i believe theres a good chance that i could go into the convention with the largest number of delegates. Because the campaign has shifted top pp to places where i think were do better. Plus, one other thing. Finally, people are starting to get my message. When i talk about the fact that, i want to lift people. I know how to create jobs. I have a record. And im not going to take the low road to the highest office in the land. In the rallies, they have to reinforce the roof. People go crazy. They want to see a positive approach and attitude. Youre right. A new poll shows you ahead in ohio just two days before the votes. I want to get to that. First, a yes or no question, is donald trump fit to be president . Im not going to youre not going to get me to answer a yes or no question. I hope hell change his rhetoric and stop dividing people. Heres what he said yesterday in ohio. Take a listen. Were going to hopefully win ohio. You know, honestly. [ cheers and applause ] kasich is a baby. Hes a baby. He cant be president. Cant be president. Too many problems. Your response . You think im going to wallow in the mud with donald trump . Are you kidding me . Im not interested in what he says. Im interested in appealing to his voters. These are people, george who are worried about their job. The stability of their job. They havent had any wage increases. They put their money in the bank. They dont get any interest from it. Theyre worried about their kids future. Those are the people that need to hear me. I have solved problems for people like that, both in washington and in ohio. Wallow in the mud, no, no, thanks. Im not interested. Thats not a way you can be effective. One of the things mr. Trump is hitting on is your support of nafta. Hes saying that has cost ohioans jobs. George, were up over 400,000 jobs here in the state of ohio. In fact, we have investments. I was in a plant in dayton where we have a 500 Million Investment from the chinese. I was involved in bringing that to ohio. Yesterday, i was in plant in newark. We have a significant german up vestment in the energy business. Were getting investments from all over the world. Our wages are growing faster. We have a 2 billion surplus. Cut taxes more than anybody in the country. Were not out of the woods. But we have made unbelievable progress. Im sitting in the city of cleveland, the new cleveland, of the 21st century. Were doing very well. I dont Pay Attention to the nonsense out there. Im not going to get into the mud. Records are fine. But this silly rhetoric is just silly. Youre confident. You sound confident about your state, how youll do on tuesday. Is ohio the turning point . If you block donald trump in ohio, will he not be the nominee . I absolutely believe that. To be the Geographical Center of the political universe. Were rising in illinois. Well be able to compete in places like pennsylvania, the eastern seaboard. Youre not on the ballot in pennsylvania. We will be. Thats political gibberish over there, too. People try to keep you from getting on the the ballot. Well be fine. Well be competing. Even though you dont have enough valid signatures now. Were fine in pennsylvania. Were fine. This will be resolved soon. We heard senator cruz say if somehow, at the republican convention, the establishment parachutes in with an establishment candidate, theres going to be a revolt. Your response . If theres an establishment candidate, george, its certainly not going to be me. And, you know, i think that, at the end of the day, delegates will pick somebody with a record. Somebody who has proven experience. And somebody who can win places like ohio and compete in other places. I beat hillary more than anybody else. In ohio, i think im the only republican who can beat hillary in this state. We just keep plugging. One foot in front of the other. My goal, economic growth, jobs, jobs, jobs. Make sure that everyone who lives in the shadows has a chance to emerge and live out their godgiven purpose. Were having great time out here. I can see it. Thank you for joining us. Having a ball. Thanks, george. Lets go now to senator marco rubio. We looked at the clips of you yesterday. You seemed honestly shaken. How did we get this far . I think we all need to look at ourself ves for a moment. I think that includes the media. Donald trumps speeches get covered live wall to wall by cable networks. Him on the show, to cover the speeches. I think the media is responsible for some of this. I think ultimately, the responsibility those protesters in chicago, a lot of them, i believe were paid and organized. That wasnt organic. By whom . I think you saw moveon. Org. Theres a professional industry of protests in chicago. They dont have a right to threaten violence. Put that aside. Its not just the thing in chicago. Donald trump, on a regular basis, incites his crowds. You have a guy who suckerpunches a man at one of his events. Arrested. Released. Upon release says, next time, well kill him. No condemnation or sense of responsibility for the person who assaulted a reporter. Yesterday, an American General who dipped bullets in pigs blood and shot a bunch of prisoners that are muslim. It goes off peoples backs. We are numb to this outrage. People out there are unbalanced. We dont know how theyre going to react. He keeps putting these things out there. We have now reached a point in this country where our political discourse look like the comments section of a plog. People can say whatever they want about anyone, without any rules of civility, no norms that goechber how we interact with each other. If we cant debate the proper tax rate, differences on foreign policy. What the governments role should be in education. Without resorting to, youre a bad person. Youre evil. Ky say or do anything i want because im angry. Well lose our republic. Is that is indeed the case, isnt it more important to stand up to the violence than to stand nominee . Absolutely. We have to stand up to it. My point is i dont know if your question is, do i stick by the pledge or not stick by it . I said yesterday, its getting harder every day. While i dont want Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States, i do not. I want her to be defeated, were having a battle to define conservative ichl conservativism. I dont want it to be defined by what im seeing in Donald Trumps campaign. Leadership is not about making people angrier or more frustrated and asking help to give you power to go after another group of people. Real leadership is recognizing people are angry. Recognizing people are frustrated. Showing them a way forward that gives them hope and a belief that we can make things better. Thats real leadership. Were not getting that from the frontrunner. I dont know how else to describe this election at this point. Other than its an important one from a generational perspective. Its turned into a real circus. Now something even worse. I know you hope to be the nominee. The latest polls show you pretty far behind if florida right now. Can you really imagine campaigning for donald trump this fall if hes the nominee . First, let me tell you, on wednesday morning, some pollsters somewhere are going to have to explain why theyre so wrong about florida and other places. Been wrong for sure, thats for sure. They have been wrong before. Someones wrong here. And again, these polls do reflect how voters vote. They have been really wrong. I think if florida, especially, a closed primary. That said, were going to win in florida. I think thats a question. The more important question is, how about the millions and millimeters of other people around the country who have already said, if donald trump is the nominee, theyre just not voting. They wont vote. No republican can win with that many people saying im not going to vote for our nominee. Hell lose. If donald trump is our nominee, hell lose. Hell lose to Hillary Clinton. Well have four more years like the last eight. Will you campaign for him . Well, again, as i said, im not going to change my position nominee. Because i still believe that donald trump will not be the nominee. Despite all the noise out there. He needs 60 of the delegates from this point forward in order to be the nominee. Ted cruz needs 75 of the remaining delegates to be the nominee. Thats the real math. I, at the end of day, do not believe donald trump will be our nominee. Im going to do everything i can to keep that from happening. To give the party the choice of if im the nominee, no one will be asked, will you support the nominee. Well unite the party. Well win. Thank you, senator, for joining us. Thank you. Up next, the democrats. Can Bernie Sanders surprise Hillary Clinton again . Hes here live.

Its a bernie. Hello, bernie. Hey, bernie, get your people in line, bernie. Get your people in line. Donald trump in cleveland yesterday. Senator Bernie Sanders joins us this morning. Thank you for joining us. That was donald trump yesterday in cleveland. Doubled down with a new tweet this morning. He says, Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disrupters arent told to go to my events. Be careful, bernie, or my supporters will go to yours. Your response . I think anybody who understands mr. Trumps xanl is that he tells the truth very, very rarely. Im afraid on this occasion, hes lying again. First of all, he calls me a communist. Obviously, thats a lie. Then he says our campaign is organizing disruptions of his rallies. Thats a lie. We have millions of supporters out there. Clearly some of them were at that rally, along with many, many other protesters. To say that we organized that, totally untrue. Mr. Trump, i think, is getting very nervous. Hes catching on to the fact that the American People do not support a candidate like trump whose verbiage, language, rhetoric incites violence. We have seen people in his rallies suckerpunches people. Kicking people. I would urge mr. Trump really to tone it down. To not incite violence on the party of his supporters. You know, some of some democrats are taking stronger language that you have used this morning. Congresswoman mar shall fudge calling donald trump a racist. Mayor bill de blasio of new york saying, mr. Trump behaves like a racist. Speaks like a racist. Racist. Are they right . Well, look this is a man, youll recall, a few years ago, movement. That was a movement that tried to delegitimize the presidency of barack pam obama. Trying the claim that the president was not born in this country. My father was born in poland. Im a son of an immigrant. Nobody has asked me for my birth certificate. Where there strong racial overtones to try to challenge the presidency of president obama . Of course there was. What were seeing in the Trump Campaign is not only racist atakes. Youre seeing attacks on muslims, womens, veterans, to attack senator john mccain because he was a p. O. W. Is crazy. To insult mexicans and our neighbors to the south. Calling mexicans rapists or criminals. This guy, there was a big debate in the United Kingdom parliament of whether he should be allowed to enter the United Kingdom. Hes dividing up the country in frightening, serious ways. My campaign zbegt him nervous. I understand that. The last National Poll had us 18 points ahead of him, some state polls had us even more ahead of him. Soy think you have a guy who is getting very, very nervous. First you have to get by secretary clinton. You surprised her and everyone in michigan last week. We have big votes in ohio, florida, north carolina, illinois, and missouri this week. Is lightning going to strike again . And where . Well, i we have done some rallies in the last few days. We have been in ohio. Weve been in north carolina. Weve been in illinois. Turnout is very strong. I am sensing, george, that we have a lot of momentum. We have a lot of energy. And if, as has always been the case, there are large voter turnouts, well do well. We have now won nine caucuses and primaries. Eight of them by doubledigit victories. In theres a large turnout in ohio, illinois, north carolina, missouri, i think were going to do very well. I think florida is a tougher state for us. Okay, senator sanders.

Or or or distort someones shocked. How can you be shock snd this is the guy, remember, who was sure that i was born in kenya. Thats president obamas ek explanation for the rise of trump. Lets talk about it with our roundtable. Fusion angster jorge ramos, author of a new book tack a stand. Donna brazile and bill kristol. How did we get here . Its been a remarkable nine months. I think this has been long in coming. I think Donald Trumps language in the course of these events and what hes done has set america back to a agree. Donald trump didnt create the divisions. Hes exacerbating them. Instead of using healing language, hes using language that incites. Hes speaking to a group of voters that feel unheard of in washington, d. C. By the gop establishment on any issues. On trade, on jobs. A lot of different things. Hes doing it in way that not bringing the party or the country together. Been enabled by republicans themselves. Who refused to take him on earlier . Hes been considerably enabled. They were busy with the bush superpac, 120 million. How much of that was spent against donald trump . I think 5 million. 25 million against rubio. If rubio loses in florida, part of it is because the Bush Campaign dropped 20 million of negative ads on him in florida. Cruz and rubio spent more time fighting each other than trump. The failure to denounce trump. I think rub roe missed a huge chance at the end of the debate ten days ago, he could have said, look, when i took the pledge in august, i thought i could support if nominee. I think if he had crossed the bridge, it would have been a dramatic moment. He might have alienated a few people. Voters who are 65 of the republican who is have voted so far would have rallied to rubio. And then the question, jorge ramos, you have seen this rhetoric from donald trump from the beginning of his campaign, where does it go next is this can it be contained now that the violence is unleashed . I have been asking where were all the candidates nine months ago. He announced june 16th . Where was the press asking the thank you questions. He was as hateful and divisive when he said that mek can immigrants were rapists, criminals, drug traffickers. Where was the press, the government, the political parties. The government of mexico . So who is surprised now . I am not. Who is surprised that hes being confronted in rallies right now . People are saying, well, if the political establishment decided not to confront him, were going to do it. Thats what were seeing. I wish i could say it in spanish. Where in the hell was the political leaders, when he made the insulting statements about mexicans. Hes amplifying everything we have heard on talk radio. Theres not one a. M. Channel at home in the south or up north in the east, a dog whistle. Serve the problem. People have not taken responsibility. I denounced donald trump for not denouncing the vitriol, the violence hes perpetrated with his angry rhetoric. This is not the donald trump who denounced david duke in 1991. Hes now soaking up the hate and spilling it back out. Is there vat ji here . I think donald trump does everything by gut and viscerally. I dont think this is a strategy. I dont want to become the donald trump apologist or the medias apologist. Voters have the information about donald trump. Theyve had it for a year. Not as if the media should have done more. They know what donald trump said about mexican americans and about immigrants. Muslims. All the language hes used. Hes on tv saying the things hes saying for months and months and months and months. Theyre not without information. There are a huge segment of voters that feels frustrated. Now that hes unleashed it, can he dial it back . And must he or not . I think this the chinas broken in the course of this, i think the Republican Party is now fractured forever. Whatever the result of this is is its not going to be donald trump that i think pulls this back together. Somebody else has to come in and pull it wac together. Donald trump is likely the republican nominee. Hes not going the to be able to pull the majority of the country together. Can i say one thing. Who did give a speech, the prominent republican taking on trump . Mitt romney. The general reaction of smart political call observers. Oh, boy, what a mistake. People hate the establishment. A prominent republican told me wrong speech, wrong time. If everyone calculates that way, no one steps up. Where is paul ryan . Its mapter of the honor of the Republican Party. And of the conservative movement. Its not about whether, gee, if i speak up, people wont like me as much. Ill an its a tag niz six voters. I think thats whats happening. It looks like people are stepping on donald trump voters. Left behind by the Republican Party for 20 years. So when you come out, many of them, the establishment comes out and speaks against donald trump, the voters feel like, youre not listening anymore. 95 of those voters voted for mitt romney. Paul ryan. I think its way too late. Its very dangerous when a president ial candidate attacks a group, minorities, or women, the way donald trump did. When he ejected me from the press conference. By the way, the only time i have been ejected was fie dell castro in 1991. Tonld trump did is same thing. He said, go back the univision. Those are code words. Just a few seconds later, somebody said, get out of my country. Well, im a u. S. Citizen. This is the rhetoric hes promoted. Hes been all over the place. Nobody reacted. I want to pick up on one thing. Matt, you said hes the likely republican nominee. Lets dig in. Five big states coming up. We have some charts here that shows what hell need to do if he wins florida and ohio. If he wins florida and ohio, he has to win 54 of the delegates left. Look if he splits. Wins florida but loses ohio. He has to win 60 of the delegates left. If jon kasich wins in ohio, a good chance that donald trump cant get the delegates he needs. I think kasich is a mustwin. In ohio. Holding him down. If rubio could win in florida, i would be confident that trump would not be the nominee. If ohio and florida split, theres a good chance. Everyone says donald trump is a menace to the country. Hes been horrible. But, 45 of the delegates are over. I object to that. If hes a serious menace to the country, people need to fight him to the end the. The delegate math works a little bit different on the republican side. The winner take all. By tend of the month, 60 , 65 of the delegates chosen. By the time we get to the yankee primary. 75 . The math will not help rubio, it only benefits mr. Trump. You slow his roll. You wont kill his speed. Hes averaged 35 of the votes so far. Its not inevitable that he wince winner talk all wisconsin or arizona. It could be made less likely by serious republicans. Where is the speaker of the wisconsin. Will paul ryan tell the voters of wisconsin you should not vote for donald trump . Thats a big question. I think most of the elected officials that have come out against donald trump have wound up losing. I think the number that donald 1237 is a number that donald trump probably has a hard time getting to. Donald trump gets 1100 delegates. Thats reasonable. I agree. And hes 300 or 400 ahead of the second place person. Very reasonable in the course of this. And hes won 29 states. What do you do at a convention then . The natural thing is to go to now say to his millions of voters, these people are angry and upset, oh, by the way lets say everything you said is true. But the violence we have seen this weekend continues through july in cleveland. I think it will continue. I think youre going to see violence now at democratic events. I think what will come out of this, not because of democrats, but because people Trump Supporters and other things. You showed up at ours, were going to show up at yours. I think this only gets worse. Im not sure about that. Inciting the violence. He said, um, alabama, november, maybe he should have been roughed up. Las vegas in february, i would like to punch him in the face. Michigan, march, not hurt him, but if you do, ill defend you in court. I think he was on a college campus. Im on College Campuses every week. This is not just a professional class of leftists. I wish leftists were so these are local people. People who dont like the rhetoric coming out of donald trump. He has to figure out how to put the genie in the bottle. The American People are calling for him to rise to the occasion. The protesters in this instance, chicago, have done no good service in the course of this. Nothing to heal the country in the manner in which they say they want to do. They come in, act descriptively. Donald trump has said some outrageous things. In that instance, that time, the protesters, i think, did nothing but help donald trump. Theyre nonviolent. They were swinging their fists. Look, matt. You know, youre throwing your hands at me. Be cool. Im not the other woman who likes it. Listen, many of them are nonviolent protesters. That muslim woman who stood there in silence. Theyre coming in with First Amendment rights. Ooimt a Martin Luther king type. I think people are reacting to the visit triol. Theyre saying we dont wan what youre saying. Fighting violence with vigs. Violence. Well have to take a break. Well look at the president s short list for the Supreme Court. Which Country First enacted and were back with the latest on the looming vacancy to the Supreme Court. President obama has narrowed his list to three finalists. Terry moran has more. Reporter and then there were three. Merrick garland, chief judge of the federal Appeals Court in washington wag. Sri srinivasan, and paul watford, a federal Appeals Court judge in california. Resume diversity . Not so much. By srinivasan would be another common trait. All confirmed with support from Senate Republicans. Can president obama convince Senate Republicans to hold confirmation hearings. Everybody knows any nominee submitted in the middle of this president ial campaign is not getting confirmed. Everybody knows that. Reporter history offers a contrast. 17 president s, including five in the 20th century successfully the put justices on the court in an election year. So when . The nomination could come as soon as tomorrow. And likely before the president makes his trip to cuba next week. Republicans are Still Holding firm that this vacancy should the filled by the next president. It is today the American People who are best positioned to help make this important decision. People. The American People. Reporter that has at least one republican nervous. In the unlikely event we lose the white house, Hillary Clinton will be president. Shell pick somebody probably more liberal than president days. Reporter with a donald trump nomination looking more likely, will they dance with the devil pick . For this week, terry moran, abc news, washington. It look like if that list is indeed correct, the president following his model. Judges with a solid background. Relatively safe backgrounds. Think that will put republicans in the toughest position. Hes also looking at not just the qualification but the character. Nominees that have gone before the senate before. The senate has held hearings. Individuals that have been minority. Will they consider the qualifications of the nominee or obstruct . Any of the nominees in a tough spot . I think Merrick Garland puts them in the toughest spot. Hes been on the d. C. Circuit a long time. By the judges and republican senators pip think the republican position is set that lets wait until the next election. No hearings . I think no hearings. I think that is just a complete tragic mistake that the republicans are doing that. They like to talk about how government bureaucrats dont do their job, dont do their job. Theyre elected. Paid by the United States treasury to do their job. Theyre saying, were not doing our job. Were a constitutional republican. Not a direct democracy. The u. S. Senate should do their job. In the course of this, they show up day in and day out, they get a paycheck. They should get a job, vote it up or down. I think as of wednesday morning, change. As of wednesday morning, if donald trump does well tuesday night, theyll say maybe a nominee by barack obama is better than a nominee by Hillary Clinton. Obama, knowing hell face this situation, hell go for the symbolic choice. Or the pragmatic one . Seems like hes eming toward mag matism. I dont know. If he understands that, hell get no support from the senate, why not just do a symbolling choice . I dont know. Well find out soon enough. Before we go, did anybody guess two started daylight savings time . Ireland. Iceland. Sweden. No, no, youre all wrong. Germany, world war i. And that is all for us today.
