8:08 am
certain darkness that has befallen the trump campaign now, the chaos spilling into st protesters, pepper spray. is there a chance the images that these scenes we're seeing play out over the past few days, that they're actually helping to rally his >> short-term gain, long-term pain, i think for the party. i think it is possible it helps him. we have seen it before when controversy befalls trump, it the spine of its supporters, they dig in, the more trump gets attacked, and, look, i think that's why trump has hesitated to sit somehow take responsibility and blame his own supporters. he doesn't want to do that. and i think he doesn't believe they deserve the blame. it does feel like we entered a new phase, again, i don't know if it has an impact on tuesday, but it is having an er donald trump
8:09 am
and i think he took a couple of steps way back in his ability to do that after on at that debate, looking like he was on his way to doing it. >> you mentioned stepping back from that, from uniting of the party. we heard clearly from marcoyesterday. he's wavering on his support, if trump is the nominee, same thing from john kasich. how does all of that play out? can they not in the end trump if he's the nominee? >> i think they're in a catch 22, the two of them in particular. they have been so critical. they have said things, marco he's a con artist. how do you somehow -- how do you somehow be able to say, oh, i con artist for president? so i wonder, the language, both kasich and rubio use toump, it puts them in a position where by supporting him, it looks more double talkish than if they don't support him at this point. >> as you know, chuck, john folks said if he does
8:10 am
out, it is hard to see how marco rubio -- if he doesn't win in what does a three-person race look like? how does a three-man race change the dynamic? >> a three-person race if it isnd cruz here, i think it depends on -- you could see a couple of things happen. number one, it means that trump, if he wins florida, but loses ohio, it the guy with the most delegates going into the convention. but he's probably going to be short of the majority he needs. and i think what you'll see over months is cruz and kasich will sort of divide and conquer. if they think kasich is strong,anti-trump candidate, than cruz, the cruz people focus somewhere else. i don't think they're quite coordinating yet, but iprised if you see that coordination as soon as, say, ten days from now, if kasich wins ohio, where you'll see cruz target arizona,arget utah and the two of them not get
8:11 am
that's how a three-person race could look because itbout denying trump. >> chuck todd, thank you very much. we'll look for more on "meet the press" with john kasich, and ted cruz join him later this morning. residents in the flood ravaged south are trying to get back home to assesster rains that led to record flooding in the area. at least six people have been killed due in part to two feet of rain that fell in the area. sarah dallof joins us from louisiana with more on the situation there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, home owners are taking stock of what got soaked when the water levels rose. furniture, mementos, all pieces of lives interrupted by floods. as record-setting floodwaters recede, homeowners assessing the damage. what is it like to see it today?
