SCOTT PELLEY (HOST): Chip Reid, the party shackled Trump to a teleprompter last night. 

CHIP REID: That's right Scott, in a speech last night he was almost unrecognizable. He was calm, thoughtful, and, yes, he read from a teleprompter just like the conventional politicians he usually rails against, and he promised the Republican Party he will never let them down. Just hours before that, leading Republicans were denouncing him as un-American, even racist for accusing a federal judge of Mexican descent of being biased against him. Today, that torrent of criticism mostly subsided, though there were some harsh words. Trump supporter Newt Gingrich said Trump, “Made a really stupid mistake in criticizing the judge.” Trump promised to stop talking about the judge, but sent another wave of nervousness through the Republican Party when he promptly ignored that promise and discussed it in three separate interviews.
