the republican race began with a gaggle of 17 candidates. ted cruz quit tuesday night after a loss in indiana. on wednesday, john kasich joined him. we'll talk to our cbs news political team about where all this goes from here. first, trump's rise to the top began with an escalator ride to the bottom. 11 months ago. >> i am officially running for president of the united states. and we are going to make our country great again. when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. >> how can you succeed when you say things like senate. >> again, how can you become resident. you can't by saying things like that. >> you call women you don't like, fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. your twitter account. >> only rosie o'donnell. >> i have pledged to support the republican nominee and donald trump is not going to be the republican nominee. >> the media knows donald trump can't win.
3:02 am
breathe. breathe. >> lying ted. lying ted. >> i am getting so many calls from people in the republican party that were totally against me. they want to join the team. >> i am proud to be here to endorse donald trump. >> are you ready to make america great again? >> thank you y'all, thank you very much. >> 11 months of donald trump. just about one minute. the democratic race is just about over as well. bernie sanders won in indiana last night, but he essentially split the delegates with hillary clinton now she has 92% of the delegates that she needs for the nomination. earlier today, i asked sanders about his future. senator sanders, let me begin by acknowledging that i was dead wrong after our interview, i suggested that new hampshire would be your last victory party. and you have had 17 victory parties since then. but, if i was wrong. >> yes, we have. >> if i was wrong then, isn't the party over now? >> well, i really don't think so. i think we have a path toward victory. i admit it is a narrow path. but we think everybody in the
3:03 am
country, people in california, kentucky, west virginia, have a right to determine who they want to see as president of the united states. and what kind of agenda they want to have. we are going to fight for the very last vote that we can get. >> is defeating trump the democrats' highest priority. >> absolutely. i think mr. trump would be a disaster. >> are you standing in the way of defeating donald trump? >> no, on the contrary. my candidacy, what we called the political revolution has energized millions of working people, young people. the way democrats win elections when the voter turnout is high. when people are excited. and that's what we are doing. >> to those who say secretary clinton's delegate lead is insurmountable. you say what? >> i say that we have a narrow path. a tough hill to climb. i acknowledge that. but i think we have a shot. a lot of the superdelegates i hope, that they will listen to the people in their state and say, we delivered for bernie with landslide numbers. you superdelegates have got to listen to us. secretary clinton has won by far the largest number of votes.
3:04 am
superdelegates they should go your way? >> i think we make the case that a, if you look at virtually all of the polling, nationally, and in battleground states, bernie sanders does much better against donald trump than does hillary clinton. >> do we have your word in this interview that you are not going to drop out before the democratic convention? >> absolutely. we have made that commitment. i am going to be in it until the last vote is cast. >> senator bernie sanders. thank you for being with us. so what's next? turn to our political team. major garrett covering the republicans, nancy cordes with the democrats, john dickerson in washington, the anchor of "face the nation." nancy, let me start with you.
3:05 am
forward from here? >> they work to distill their message against donald trump. you heard hillary clinton calling him risky, a loose cannon four times, nuclear weapons, another phrase you will hear a lot. she will argue that he is not steady enough to have his finger on button. one clinton campaign aide told me today they're basically going to break their message done into three parts. number one he can't unify the country, two can't be commander-in-chief, and three, he isn't out for any one but himself. awe major, he defies all expectations how do you see the campaign ahead in november. >> senior trump advisers told me if trump is the issue they lose. what has to be the issue and what trump has to guarantee is projected as the issue, obama administration, hillary clinton's role in it, insider/outsider, establishment politics versus a new framing of politics. if trump does that, his closest advisers believe the way he has remade the republican map in the primaries can be remade in a general election. he can run competitively in places republicans haven't for a long while. change diet naming of the race. >> john dickerson hour, do you see trump/clinton?
3:06 am
all conversations i had today. the way some establishment republicans are coming around to trump. they say, big risk, but also big reward. so they believe that he can put some new states in play. this is the most optimistic case of course. then there are others today who are talking about, the dangers and unpredictability and volatility of trump. they are still, a lot of republicans in washington trying to figure out how much to get behind him and how much to run on their own kind of ticket just hope that things don't come crashing down. >> nancy, is donald trump the candidate that hillary clinton wanted to run against? >> he is very unpredictable. her campaign acknowledges that. perhaps would have been easier to run against someone like ted cruz. what they argue though is that they have some advantages that all of his republican opponents didn't. first of all, they come out of the gate, against him, pointing out his flaws in a way that a lot of the republicans were afraid to because a, they wear frayed he would train his fire on them, and b, they wanted his supporters.
3:07 am
about that. she will make the case on issues. and on personality. in a way that some republicans only did when it was too late. >> the other thing the trump campaign has to begin working on is vice presidential runningmate. that formal vetting process hasn't begun. there isn't a committee. there isn't a singer vetter looking over it. process will be in in the next couple weeks. >> john dickerson, one of the most fascinating things about the match up, both of the candidates according to the polls are disliked by a majority of the american people. >> that's right. and -- we're going to see potentially some of the big outside groups spending money fast to define donald trump which means, that this race in its initial stage may be ugly from the start. and it may just keep getting uglier as they trade attacks back and forth. between each other. >> plenty ugly already. john dickerson at "face the nation" and nancy cordes may, your garrett. thank you so much. the "cbs overnight news" will be

during the recent ebola outbreak, 500 health care workers died from the disease. protective equipment, gowns, gloves, masks became essential in preventing deaths. now a major american manufacturer is accused of knowingly providing defective gear to health care workers in the u.s. and abroad. andersen cooper takes a closer look in a story for "60 minutes." >> reporter: if there is one thing that became evident during the ebola outbreak of 2014 it is that personal protective equipment properly used could mean the difference between life and death. you probably remember the tragic images from west africa and the workers in biohazard suits trying to help without getting

infected themselves. certain types of gowns were also used during the outbreak. nurses at this hospital in liberia used gowns and full body suits to protect themselves after two of their top doctors died of the disease. every day in the u.s., doctors and nurses rely on some of the same gowns the centers for disease control recommended for ebola. one is microcool surgical gown made by halyard health which sells 13 million gowns a year worldwide including a quarter of the u.s. market. the microcool gown is supposed to provide the highest level of blood-borne bacteria and viruses. its label says it meets a rigorous industry standard known as a.m.y. level four. which means it is impermeable so that blood containing viruses like hepatitis and hiv won't get on surgeonki

3:43 am
vizzo says he knew the gowns were not consistently meeting industry standards. >> reporter: there is a test for this? >> a test. conducted at outside facilities. >> reporter: did your gowns consistently pass this test? >> no, they did not. >> reporter: was the fda aware? were they notified? >> no. not that i am aware of. >> reporter: were customers warned? >> no, customers were not warned either. >> reporter: why not? >> kimberly clark knew if they told customers it would cost us a lot of business. >> they didn't tell the public. they didn't tell the fda. they didn't tell physicians. they told no one. they kept selling the gown to the tune of millions of dollars every month. >> reporter: michael evanetti, a california attorney, that represents hospitals suing halyard and erkimbly clark for fraud. he showed us this report from an independent certified laboratory that tested the sleeves of microcool gowns in december 2012 at the request of one of kimberly clark's competitors, cardinal health.
3:44 am
>> at the time cardinal and kimberly clark were in litigation. they had them tested. results were disastrous for kimberly clark. >> reporter: what do you mean disastrous? >> if you look here at the report, 77% of the gowns tested failed. >> reporter: 77%? >> 77%. >> reporter: at hospitals like uf health in jacksonville, florida, we found surgeons who told us they repeatedly experienced strike through with blood getting through their gowns and on to their skin. some surgeons were so upset about it they took pictures of their bloody arms and gowns and sent them to the company. did you receive complaints from nurses? surgeons at all? >> on these gowns? >> yeah. >> frequently. on a frequent basis. >> reporter: what kind of complaints? >> strike through. sleeves falling off. >> reporter: sleeves falling off? >> sleeves falling off during a procedure. >> reporter: were you at meetings where the problems were discussed? >> all the time.
3:45 am
we were telling senior management. >> reporter: what was their response? >> i remember the response one time from the coo was, nobody really cares about this. nobody really cares about surgical gowns. >> that's just not true. >> reporter: chris lowery, c.o.o., vizzo was talking about. the chief operating officer of halyard health. did you sell protective equipment for ebola, you knew was defective. >> no. frankly i think the allegations aren't based on facts. >> they're completely false? >> yes. >> less than one come plant for -- less than one complaint for every million gowns sold. even moreso is we never received even one report of a health care professional contracting an infection as a result of a flaw in our product. >> reporter: lowery says bernard vizzo didn't raise his concerns until after he left the company. vizzo says he was fired because he was vocal about the problems. the company questions motives of this man, keith edgett, the former head of research and engineering for the
3:46 am
gowns. in this video deposition, edgett expresses concerns about vizzo and what was going on at the company. >> i believe they were putting customers in harm's way. i was struggling with it. >> reporter: i want to show you the results of a test, intertech labs, it shows 77% of your microcool gowns failed one or both of the sleeves. 77% is a lot. >> anderson it is very important to put this, this cardinal test data into context. first, extreme outlier test results. we had never seen tests data that reflected anything like this before or for that matter since. >> reporter: halyard showed us their own results from independent laboratory. the reports show the sleeves pass some of the time failed at others. chris lowery says they passed far more than they failed. when they failed it was at much lower rates than the cardinal test suggests.
3:47 am
for the test in february 13, 18 out of 85 samples failed. 21%. >> we have to look at test failure in the context of all the test that are passing. >> reporter: you have failures in the product. you are selling the product. you don't inform the fda or customers? >> it's important to understand that -- no manufacturing process is perfect. >> reporter: these failures are above industry stand are. allowed a certain amount of failures when you fail the test though that's above the failure rate already built in. >> in the testing we completed after the cardinal testing, we believe that we were fully compliant with our requirements for the product as it had been cleared. >> is that what he told you? >> reporter: yeah. >> evidently, he forgot the 11th commandment. >> reporter: which is? do not lie to 60 minutes. >> reporter: the company showed us the march 2013 lab report as part of the proof the gowns passed the test. attorney michael evanetti says that's not really what happened. >> they claim to have submitted 79 samples and 75 passed. >> reporter: theid
3:48 am
