Hitting the gop frontrunner. Is clinton already gearing up for a nasty november clash . And, supreme showdown, inside the war over the president S Supreme Court nominee. From abc news, its this week. Here now, chief anchor george stephanopoulos. After another wild week in the race for the white house, more big wins for donald trump. At least three states on tuesday. The most delegates by far. Moving him much closer to the republican nomination. As his campaign marches toward cleveland, he draws more protests, too. Check out this scene from arizona yesterday. The road to a trump rally blocked. And new questions overnight about how trump and his supporters are dealing with the protests. In tucson, this protester punched and kicked as he was led away. A guy grabbed the sign out of my hand. And in this video from cnn, Trump Campaign manager Cory Lewandowski appears to grab the collar of a protester. A lot to talk about this morning with donald trump. He sxwroins us now by phone. Thank you for joining us this morning, mr. Trump. We saw the incidents in tucson. What will you be doing to stop your supporters from acting out like this . Its not only tucson. We had a great rally next to phoenix. It was an amazing 21,000 people. The protesters blocked the road. You had thousands of people that couldnt get in. Sheriff joe, who did a fantastic people. The rally totally broke up. The people that were protesting. And they went. And there was no more problem. 21,000. There wasnt one word during this massive rally. But what about the violence . Then well, then, a little areas. I mean, we went all over, frankly, all over arizona. And we went to tucson. And we had some people that wouldnt allow people for the rally into the door. They were making it almost impossible to get in. We had 6,000 or 7,000 people at least. 2,000 people outside. They wouldnt allow them in. These people are very disruptive people. Does that excuse punching and kicking a protester. He was wearing, or his partner was wearing a ku klux klan outfit. This was an africanamerican man, a person at the rally, who was very insensitive, the fact that somebody a protester would be wearing a ku klux klan outfit. He went wild. You appear to be excusing the kicking and punching. It was a tough thing to watch. I watch that. Why would a protester walk into a room with a ku klux klan outfit on . It looked like he was wearing if you would have seen him just before he went up the stairs, him and his partner, one of them was wearing a ku klux klan outfit. So you wont condemn the person that hit him . We dont condone violence. We had 21,000 people in phoenix. Nobody stood up and tried to disrupt. The disrupters. Theyre really stopping our First Amendment rights. They blocked a road. They put their cars in front of a road. We had thousands and thousands of people wanting to come. They were delayed for an hour because of the protesters. The protesters. So youre blaming the protesters, not the person who punched and kicked the protester . No, im saying this. These are professional agitators. I think somebody should say that when a road is blocked going into the event, so that people get in, i think thats very fair and there should be blame there, too. When signs are put up, lifted up them. I mean, the worst. You have Television Cameras all over the place and, people see these signs, i think maybe those people have some blame and should suffer blame also. We also see the video of your lewandowski lewandowski, who does appear to protester. Why is your Campaign Manager out in the crowd engaging protesters . Because security at the arena, the police were lax. They had signs up in that area that were horrendous. I cant say what they said on the sign. The ultimate word. It was all over the camera. The Television Cameras cant take it. They cant do anything about it. I will give him credit. He didnt touch. He wasnt the video shows he touched him. I give him credit for having spirit. He wanted them to take down those horrible profanitylaced signs. These are disrupters. They go into a room with 20,000 people or a room with 6,000 or 7,000 people and they stand up and they start shouting things. I mean, at some point, somebody should say, i will say this. Sheriff joe arpai oh, o, in phoenix, arrested three people. As soon as they were arrested, even else immediately left. Its the job of the police to disruptive. If that is happening. Area. It doesnt happen in tucson. You appear to be much more upset by the protesters than the violent response to the protesters. I am very i wouldnt use the word upset. I think its very unfair that these really in many cases road, blocking thousands of great americans from coming to a speech and nobody says anything about that. But theyll Say Something about whatever. I will tell you. Kicking and punching a protester. Let me tell you. Its a very unfair double standard. Why dont you mention that people were delayed for an hour to get into an arena and the only road going there that they were delayed for an hour because people were blocking the road . And why dont you say in tucson, where the people were blocking arena. We showed the blockade at the top of the broadcast. Let me move on. This comes on the heels of you saying this week there could be riots in cleveland if you entered the Republican Convention with more voting than anybody else but didnt get the nomination. Speaker paul ryan called you out. Did you go too far there . If you dont have the 1237 delegates going into cleveland, nomination . I think if im a few short and i have 1200 or 1100 and somebody else is at 300, 400, 500, likely to be the case, and if im a little bit short, and one of the reasons was, we had so many candidates. I mean, we started off with 17 candidates. And, it came down to, you know, finally, its down to three, frankly. But there are so many candidates. Its hard to get over that number. Its unfair in a way. Because of the fact that theres so many candidates, and so many candidates are grabbing delegates. Now, heres what i think. Now theyre out. Now theyre out. I think i will get over that number. I think i may get over that number fairly easily. Arizona was unbelievable yesterday. Utah, frankly, was unbelievable the day before. I think we will get over that number. Tremendous spirit about make America Great again. Thats the whole thing. Were going to make America Great again. Unfair about having a multiballot convention, is there . I think the biggest story in all of politics are the millions of people that are coming out to vote for me, in fairness, for the Republican Party. Theyre up 75 , 72 , 102 different states in the primaries. Its the single biggest Story Worldwide in politics is, whats happening at the millions and millions of people that are going out to vote for me. Now, i will say this. The democrats are down 35 . Whereas the republicans are up over 70 . And some cases, much more than that. I say this. If youre going to disenfranchise all of those people, some of whom have never voted before, and theyre 50 and older, if youre going the disenfranchise all of those people, independents, democrats. We have a lot of people coming over. Its okay for them to riot . We do have some people that have never voted before. Say all i can say is this. I dont know whats going to happen. Youll have a lot of very unhappy people. I think for the republicans to disenfranchise all those people. If that happens, theyre not voting. The republicans lose. If the republicans embrace these great people showing up, the republicans are going to have a massive victory. Not going to be a mitt romney slaughter. Because he was such a bad kantd candidate. The republicans will have a massive victory in november. Will you tell your supporters not to riot if you lose the Convention Fair and square. I would certainly tell them that. You know, look, these people are fervent. Theyre really they want to see positive things happen for our country. I would certainly say that. I dont want to see riot. I dont want to see problems. You have millions of people were talking about, george. Millions of additional people have gone. Ive gotten more than 2 million votes more than anybody else. Anybody else. And these are millions and thats why im leading by so much. I have 21 or 22 states. You have conservatives talking about the possibility of a third Party Challenge if you get the nomination. Talking about recruiting someone like senator tom coburn. Have you done anything to try to head that off . If theyre going to do that, theyre going to do that. But if they do, you might as well hand the election to Hillary Clinton, or whoever runs. If theyre going to be stupid and do that, instead of embracing these millions of people coming in to vote, theyll have to do that. Ill tell you what that will mean more than any other thing. Four or five jus sis superliberal on the Supreme Court. Our country will never, ever will be same. Over the weekend, you appeared to question the faith of mitt romney. The third time in the Campaign Something like that has happened. Right here. I cant believe, are you sure hes a mormon . Are we sure . Im presbyterian. I mean, seventh dayed a venn tis, i dont know about. I just dont know about. Ive never seen anybody that lied as much as ted cruz. And he goes around saying hes a christian. I dont know. Youre going to have to really study that. You know, after the pope spoke out about you, you said no leader should question another persons faith. So why do you keep on doing it . First of all, with mitt romney, i was saying to the mormons, theyre very smart people. I said it in a joking way. They can take it, you can take it any way you want. People. I dont think mitt romney is a smart person. I never have. The mormons are very smart people. I said, are you sure hes a mormon. Im not going to change it. I think mitt romney has proven to be not a smart person. As far as ted cruz, hes one of the greatest and biggest liars i he lies about so much. He lies about things that dont matter. I tell people pip think thats why ted cruz has lost the evangelical vote. Look what he did with ben carson, who has endorsed me. Look what he did to ben carson. He said ben carson in iowa has left. Hes out of the campaign, vote for me. Thousands of people voted for him because he convinced people that ben carson had left the campaign. He knew ben carson didnt leave the campaign. Tomorrow, big speech. A big speech tomorrow. Speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs committee. In that speech, will you stand by your stance of being neutral to broker a peace deal . Youll hear what im going to say at the speech. Youll hear that. Well see what happens. What kind of deal would be in israels interest . I think making a deal would be in israels interest. That doesnt want to have a good deal. Probably one of the toughest deals. Me being a dealmaker, probable one of the toughest deals in the world to make. Theres so many decades of hatred between the two sides. Its probably one of the toughest deals to make if youre a person that prides yourself on being able to get people together. Like . Will israel have to give up land . I dont know any jewish people that dont want to make they would all love to see a deal made. They want a good deal. Not an obamatype deal made. Define a good deal . Ill do that tomorrow. Ill be defining it tomorrow. Im not going to define it now. Ill define it tomorrow. Everybody would like to see a real deal made, not a deal that will be broken. Real deal, something that can be lasting. If i win, ill give that a very mr. Trump, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. Priebus. The chair of the rnc. You heard that interview with mr. Trump. Has he does enough to contain the violence at his rallies . Well, look, i mean, i think hes trying to make the point that, we want to talk about both sides, but clearly, both sides need to condemn violence. And violence is never the answer. And i think as far as everyone getting involved in the crowds, leave it to the professionals. The sheriff there was in the crowd. And secret service is there. Thats their job to do it. I think that is the best place to leave it. Violence is never the answer. Condoning violence is never the answer. Its not what were about. And, i think everyone agrees with that. What have you told i know campaign and mr. Trump himself, this . This is not the first time this happened. Were seeing it again and and again. We have talked about it a little bit. Obviously, they agree that violence is not the answer. And that they dont condone it. They tell the crowds that they dont condone it. So look, um, its obviously not completely in my control what happens at these rallies. What people say and do. I would leave to it the professionals. I would continue to talk about the fact that we need to have a solutionsbased campaign. Not obviously, something that you know, creates an environment that violence is present. Professionals. When you say that, does it mean the Campaign Manager should stop engaging protesters . Look, i you know, i dont george. Im just sitting here this morning just like you. Obviously, my point would be, leave those things to the professionals. Dont get involved in crowds. In those altercations. Thats why the pros are there. Lets talk about the possibility of a contested convention. You used to call it an extreme hypothetical. Is that still the case . Uh uh probably not still the case, no. I think its possible. Were preparing for the possibility. I think its my job is to be as open and transparent as i possibly can be. Why im trying to get out there on the convention a lot, out in the media. Talk about the rules. What they are, what theyre not. Take the mystery away from what an open Convention Looks like. Its simple stuff. Lets take some of the mystery away right now. You heard mr. Trump, if he got close to the 1237, but didnt get there, hez supporters would he didnt want them to riot. The Republican Party would lose. Is it far, ir if he goes in without 1237, but with a plurality, for the convention to deny him the nomination . A plurality is a minority. And its not a majority. A minority doesnt choose the delegates. No one is disenfranchised. Theyre enfranchised by receiving bound delegates. You have to have a majority. In order to be the nominee of our party. Its its no different than when i became chairman of the party. I won on the seventh ballot, george. Hardly a landslide. But i was never behind. No one called me the winner of the second, third, fourth, fifth i had to get to a majority. Most state chairman go through the process on the floor of conventions. It seems natural to us that you would have to have a majority of your party say yes, thats the person i want to be the nominee. Can you guarantee that the nominee would be one of the three in the race right now . Well, i mean, i think it would be highly unlikely if its not. It would be unusual. But i cant 100 guarantee that. I cant imagine right now sitting here, believing it would be anyone but the three remaining candidates. What do you say to the stop Trump Movement, talking about recruiting a third party candidate, like governor rick perry or senator tom coburn. Will it doom your chances . Sure it would. I think its far too late. I think this is a its some folks find to it be interesting. Thats great. But it is not likely. Its probably too late. And, there is no definitive answer right now as to who the nominee is going to be of our party. So, i think all of it is far too early. Mr. Priebus, thank you for joining us. You bet, thanks.
