here's a new cbs poll. it is out tonight and trump is on top again. do you think this will be a brokered convention? >> isn't it interesting that conservative voters have gathered around their top contender and all the establishment can talk about like little rats skirying around, how do we topple the people's choice. trump has said that if he is not treated fairly. but what is really going on is what the establishment can't stabbed is they lost influence this election. they can't put their money behind one candidate because they started with 15 or to. and trump is the choice of the candidates. >> as a conservative and the conservatives are even divided amongst themselves. you have senator ted cruz who is a conservative and people are supporting him. he is going up in the polls. i think there is a real possibility and that's why you have obviously the responsibility of the rnc chair to ensure he is prepared for any potential outcome. and we really don't have a clear nominee at this moment. there are 14 candidates in the race. we don't know hoe this is
