The pass protection saturday already has the wills in his brain rolling toward the next step of real iowa football. Ironically we did start the same two tackles against minnesota a year ago that not necessarily what promoted it but thought it would be worth taking a shot at and seeing if coal was more comfortable on the right site.

Thanks for watching cbs news 10 at 10 00. The welcome back to face the nation. I am john dickerson. Here in the law library at Washington University in st. Louis. Site of tonights second president column debate. Joining us now is cbs this morning anchor norah odonnell, our friend bob schieffer, who moderated three president ial debates, plus our cbs news correspondents who have been on the campaign trail for well over covers Hillary Clinton and Major Garrett who is on the Trump Campaign. Major, i want to start with you. Sure. Dickerson where to begin . How are things going inside the Trump Campaign . There is, there is a tremendous amount of stress, that is quite obvious, trump is getting a request from mike pences running mate, be more contrite. Apologize too the country more emphatically, more believably, more persuasively about what you have done, what you have said, what the country has seen. At the same time, there are other advisors who are saying, yes doors that mouth Hillary Clinton and bill clinton about bill clintons history and this debate is your only available play, go as hard as you can on that, say what you said matters but what bill clinton did or is alleged to have done matters more, and so donald trump finds himself in this vice like pressure from his running mates who wants him to be contrite and mellow and other advisors who want to bring the twobyfour and take it straight into the debate. Dickerson in twitter already today a little bit of the twobyfour action as he tweets and sends out some of the clinton team doing in this, yet another turn in the story . Well, thought about Hillary Clinton come out yesterday and then decided why scwander the opportunity to have her first reaction be tonight on the debate stage before millions of people standing right there next to donald trump so we are told she will address it early on in the debate but also decided, you know, why distract from a parade of republicans unendorsing their own nominee . Beyond that, they are the battleground map a to include kansas and nebraska, they think that the battlegrounds math will stay essentially where it is, which is find fine, because she has a path to 270 just within that map. So strategically, they say they arent changing much, although obviously this was great news for them. Dickerson 270 being a magic number on the electorial college, you have been on the phone dialing around, bob, what have you heard a . Well, i cant find a single probably 1 12 republican senatos yesterday or their representatives. I couldnt find a single one who now thinks they are going to win. They were saying things like look we realized a couple of weeks ago that we were not going to win, but now we may win we may lose by historic proportions something that will, one person said to me yesterday that could affect the Republican Party for generations to come. I am not sure party is going to survive this. One Republican Party chair said there was a Mushroom Cloud outside of the window after this. Norah what did you think of Rudy Giulianis attempt to defend donald trump . He basically said this is a long time ago and learned a lot on the campaign trail. Can you learn something on the campaign trail that undoes the damage of these remarks . Well, Rudy Giuliani was on because the chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus decided he would not come on. And i think that is telling as one Top Republican said to he we in american political history. And, bob, alluded to that. Look at the state of ohio no republican has won the presidency without ohio, donald trump may have won ohio on the coattails of rob portman the senator who has done great organizing, he has unendorsed him in that state but Republican National Committee Says pause or stop its operations to help donald trump. Donald Trump Department have much of a ground game anywhere. Dickerson no ground game. He was relying on the Republican National committee. Dickerson entirely. A governor all of that disgusting language, you now have a party that has abandoned the president ial nominee and that is historic, and it could lead to a landslide election. Dickerson and the ground game being those people who knock on the doors, get the people to the polls, that kind of thing. And the disconnect between the grass roots Trump Supporters who are not all republicans and not always been regular participants in president ial election and the fund raisers for the party and the Party Leadership is again cracked wide open. By this. Because they are the grass anecdotal conversations i had all weekend are going to ride this out because they still believe that trump is their best option to change the system and attack what bothers them most about politics, but the fund raisers, the donors, and the republicans who have to be on the ballot themselves all walking away. We know that republican candidates like portman and kelly ayotte in New Hampshire are in a terrible position, because on one hand they have angered all of those trump true believers who might say, you know, i am not going to vote for you. They decided to let some republicans just stay home because they told them now, i cant support the nominee, maybe you shouldnt either, and the deposition are going to hit them over the head between now and election day on, okay, so this is what made you decide to abandon donald trump . It wasnt what he said about members cans, it wasnt what he said about women in in campaign, it is something he said 11 years ago, this is political expeed expedience. Dickerson i mean think about this his own running mate the eve of this debate and with less than a month to go. Dickerson norah, another, perhaps there are players out there who still havent, he was disinvited from paul ryans wisconsin, unity event that major talked about that was put together by Reince Priebus, the republican chairman of the party. Disinvited by the House Speaker be 2 House Speaker has not moved to the problem portman position or the kelly ayotte position which is i am not going to voee for him. Is he the i mean, there is a republicans on monday, wha whato you think paul ryan, what do you think he does . Well, this isnt just a, this is a conscience call for many people and seeing an emerging split in the Republican Party not just denouncing but what does it do or take a stronger stand and say we cant elect this person, lets write in some of the other people, such as rob portman as i mentioned earlier has said. I think it is a real struggle for the speaker of the house, paul ryan who was heckled at Trump Supporters but the leadership of the party, that has to look beyond this election to the future of the party, i think it is essential in american democracy you have two Strong Political parties. They are a check on one another and at this point we dont have two Strong Political parties. And tha that is necessary for a strong government a in a democracy. Dickerson bob, you moderated these debates so what if you were on the deck tonight and about to come up or had to come up with candidates, what would you ask . , you know, i think i would ask about the elephant in the room and i think, i guess what i would say would be this. Mr. Trump, if some man did to your daughters what you were talking about in that debate in that tape, would you think that was cool . Would you be okay with that . I would watch that answer. A town hall debate. Would there be a question like this in . And there probably will be. Yes. Because this language goes beyond boys being boys. This is pigs being pigs. And i think that it is not a distraction. It is an issue. But there are some democrats that Hillary Clinton will overplay her hand and go after him too hard. They say look he is digging a hole by himself. Republicans are helping him. Stay out of the way. Aggressive that he needed to be last week and so they are a little bit worried that the Clinton Campaign will see this as such a huge opportunity that it will go further than it needs to. There are two unknowns one we will get the answer to tonight and one we may never get an answer to. Many republicans bailed out yesterday because they got the sense there is more coming on donald trump that this is not the only revelation that will carry with it a tech tonic plate changing. Bit possess round 2 of that. Thats the unknown we dont know about that. The other is tonight. The Conference Call with House Republicans tomorrow, because speaker ryan was persuaded by those in the rank and file, give him a chance in debate number 2, lets all assess after that. So what trump does or doesnt do tonight will have a great deal to say about how resilient the elected Republican House support for him, rank and file and leadership remains. Dickerson a lot riding o the debate tonight. An enormous riding on the debate and of course the format, along with these charges, i mean, charges a of what some are calling Sexual Assault, biden says this the amounts to Sexual Assault at the time you have a male nominee and a female nominee on the stage, they are, with podiums, chairs where they can sit down and where they can approach audience members, it adds, body language becomes important in this type of debate. I mean, going back and reading about town hall debates and proposed this type of debate, a town hall debate and his advisors were chopped george h. W. Bush agreed to it because he thought he could emote better and the capture audience members attention better. Dickerson quickly what happens if donald trump goes the second route and brings up bill clinton and his character flaws and we get into that kind of a fight . What is hillary the, you know, hillary has been planning and preparing forr for weeks because after the first debate he might go he told us, the Clinton Campaign says that would be disastrous for donald trump. Hillary clinton is the one running, not bill clinton that is like blaming they lan i cant trump for what donald trump said in the leaked audio, so they dont think that is going to be persuasive and they think it might actually engender for sympathy for Hillary Clinton and you have to know she has got a pretty well planned response. Dickerson all right. So great to be with you. Thanks for being here. Panel, join us at 9 00 p. M. Eastern, 6 00 p. M. Pacific. Dickerson and tha at the debate haul here in Washington University here this morning, the site of todays main event. Now behinds the scenes is joining us now for more insights Washington Bureau chief of u. S. A. Today, Jamelle Bouie who is the chief Political Correspondent for slate mag a seen and cbs news political analyst, peggy noonan, columnist for the washington journal and cbs contribute for and john heilemann, comanaging editor of bloomberg politics. Peggy, i will start with you. So Rudy Giuliani said donald trump could have a Saint Augustine moment, change radically after this event and be a totally different man. After this release of the 11yearold tape. Well, i know you spoke to him of the city of god and the city of man, in this world all miracles are possible. People do change their nature and change their character. I am not sure what Rudy Giuliani was referring to as the reason there might be a change of nature or character. It seems to me mr. Trump might speak of his essential nature this evening. Dickerson yes. Thats a tall order. Yes. Dickerson john, what could donald trump have learned over the last year that taught him that saying, sort of in a lighthearted way it was fun to assault women. I am not sure how the two things are connected. I think if we are speaking in hypotheticals now, there is a hypothetical miracle that could occur, st. Augustine, the more probable hypothetical on the basis of everything we have seen from Donald Trumps first debate performances, the interviews he has given, the last de performance, and how he reacted after the debate performance and continuing to attack machado, i think the more plausible hypothetical is he learned nothing and that his performance tonight will be much less st. Augustine than something coarser to the things that got him into so much trouble so far on the basis of history there is no reason to think that we will see a new donald trump, none. There is no reason. I am not saying we wont but there is no reason to think we will. Party that started to happen yesterday that seemed to be kind of rolling. Again people who arent just saying it ising,tsk, we have never seen anything like this in modern republican. The Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus released a statement, the highest paul ryan disinvited to ka share a stage with him. Wisconsin, are withdrawing their endorsement of him. This is a political apocalypse and it is sort of we have had october surprises before, we have never had Something Like this in which a candidate survived and went on to win the election. Dickerson there have been a lot of people say, well there have been a lot of these moments donald trump has had and people thought he was in trouble and nothing happens. Is this the same situation or i dont think this is the same precisely because so Many Republican leaders leaving his and i think there is a real possibility that republicans are courting a kind of triple undervote, that demoralized republicans, republicans who dont vote down ballot because they are angry at the party, most republicans still think, still want trump at the top of the ticket and then also, you know, just, that is a double undervote. I think what is interesting about all of this is that this is the moment which isri so Many Republicans away. You know, we have witness ford past year a campaign whose central message no the country was if you elect me i will use the power to suppress mexican immigrants, and Muslim Americans and stop and frisk. It is not flattering about the Republican Party it is beginning to leave trump when the comment finally hits a group of voters that actually they rely on to yesterday who kind of brought up this point, with i have, they were thinking about whether to leave donald trump, the worry was, if i leave now, why didnt i leave when his announcement speech was about members cans being rapists and on down the line . They had trouble explaining why this was the thing that was the straw that broke the camels back and previous ones havent been. Yes. Maybe. It just seems to me this overwhelming story, i agree with susan so much. Trump. It is not just it is not as if he was going up, up, up and something bad happens and he plummets he had been going down and down, now something bad happens. We are a 47, 47 country, more or less. The trump voters in your focus group, more or less said, this isnt going to change anything for us, in a funny way, nobody is as until lucianed about their candidate as donald trump they had no illusions about him so it is not as if this tells them anything they didnt know but it will hurt trump with a few of them because nobody likes proof that your fundamental nature is low. I think the proof part of it was hurtful, but still at the end of the day, this doesnt help trump. It hurts him very seriously and every republican i have talked to in the last few days does think it is over. John, i think part of your answer question, and your opening comment about this, donald trump is engaged in the racist company phobic but he never condoned and in fact practiced a crime. Sexual assault is the phrase you used and appropriately used and think for a lot of republicans and a lot of people, that is the thing that is going on. Not to excuse him of his previous rhetoric but the thing you cant argue for for Many Republicans and obviously Many Democrats is for a nominee who involved in it myself and sort of boastful about it. That is a different that that is a rubicon that has been crossed. I do think it is striking the same morning this came out on friday, donald trump also said, in a statement that he believed central were guilty and presumably thinks they should have been executed and that to me is also at a level beyond the pail pale. The only thing that said amount that is joh john mean dickerson because they were held innocent. We will take a short break and be right back with more face the nation from st. Louis. Dickerson and we are back with our panel, susan, you were with mike pence on thursday. Where do you think he is on all of this . I spent the day with him as he was on a bus tour across pennsylvania. He denounced Hillary Clinton, you might expect that and i said, you know, there are questions about Donald Trumps integrity too and he defended donald trump to the little, a goodman, a family man. And i just wonder what trumps running mate would say today if he was sit down for that interview. Dickerson yes, he says he has the highest integrity. Trump disappearing from the ticket and pence running, that is what portman said, i am is any of this being discussed . I think it is being discussed actively and major made the point earlier we will have to wait to see what happens in the debate performance tonight, not that i think it will change the ultimate electorial dynamics of where trump is relative to the better, what happens on monday, depending on how he performs. I think the party leaders, elected, everyone has no influe the race. I think there is one set of people who have influence over him, his family, and if this turns into a total catabolism as it seems to be, the trump brand, the family name, the financial implications of that, those kids, ivanka and jarrod, her husband jarrod, and eric trump, tiffany all of them have a lot just talking pure dollars and cents here they have a lot at stake in what happens to donald trump and the family name. I think they are the only ones to get out, the only ones i am not sure they will, but the only ones who can influence him. Tonight could be a disaster for trump in part because there is no sense that he has been practicing working on what he is going to do. I mean all the reports are, he has been resisting all of that. This is going to be a hard a night for him. It is in the round. Some questioner will properly bring up the mess of the past few days, but as for fantasies about removing him from the top of the ticket, i have to tell you, 11 states are already voting in early voting. Sticks ballots, eight more join that number by this wednesday. Dickerson right. When you have 19 states that are already voting, i dont see how you change your nominee. I would add to that fact, again, most Republican Voters want trump at the top of the i cannot. I think the idea that Republican Leaders could somehow get trump off the top of the ticket, while essentially sticking their fingers in, fingers in the eyes are trying to avoid a disaster or civil war that is a disaster and civil war. Dickerson lets switch to Hillary Clinton quickly, these excerpts of her speeches, the ones they have been trying to keep under lock and key finally got out. There is a difference between Hillary Clinton in public and private. Isnt that her underlying challenge . It is. And you heard in your focus group how little affection even some of the clinton voters had for her. So this and you think we would be talking about that tonight or today and you think we would be talking about bill clinton, the is saying the Affordable Care act is crazy but we are not because she had this great gift of donald trump. Dickerson i am struck how much more passion has in the focus group. In is people of all position. More passion when they talked a about Hillary Clinton and her down side and donald trump they were letting off the hook saying this is locker room behavior. I think this gets to what is true, not just the voters but a cross of how we as a country, versus donald trump is that i think we look, people look at Hillary Clinton and say, she
