Charlie, clinton will be holding an event at harlemsapolicylo theater today. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson in sin washington. Good morning. Good morning. Reporter following up on juliannas reporter, does this the lewandowski business . Yes. Trump supporters rally around him and see his responses and proof of what they like about him but we have seen Something Else in the general election when you look at his numbers, both among women and larger public, his numbers are toxic in terms of his unfavorability rating. It may not matter with his supporters at the moment, but it does collect and cause a problem for him. One other thing id say when i talk to republican lawmakers, its the Trump Campaign is one constant diet of unpredictability and drama, and they think about what is this going to look like in the geeral election where is he hurting maybe not just his brand but the entire republican brand. He is driving away more voters than he is adding to in a general election context . Thats right. We have seen that certainly with his numbers. When you look at his newspapers, particularly with women voters, he is in historic territory in terms of how unfavorable their view is of him. What do you make of all three backing away from the place that we will support the eventual nominee . All of them are saying maybe not. Donald trump, where he is stronger than his opponents. He is saying he is more forceful in what he is saying. John kasich and ted cruz are sort of averting their eyes from the pledge. They are not exactly saying what some of their supporters and others have said, which is if you say all of these things about donald trump and how terrible he is and how bad he would be for the party and how he is not a conservative, then why are you still pledged to support him if he becomes the nominee . They sort of stood back from that pledge a little but didnt really break electricfromit. Does it change things, john, this idea of a contested convention . Does it change things come that time this sort of stance . If kasich and cruz go into the convention trying to take those delegates away from donald trump, you know, the pledge will kind of be a side show, and so i think its still basically their job is to make sure he doesnt why the primary in wisconsin on the 5th is so crucial to see how all of this drama that has taken place is really going to actually affect the delegates themselves as they get assigned to these candidates. Thanks, john. Thank you, John Dickerson. North faces a growing backlash over a new law blocking protection for lesbians and gay and bisexuals and transgender people.
