CBS News Correspondent Scott MacFarlane talks about how the Republican National Committee is up and running with its two-day "midterm convention" in Dallas. Is this a party to energize the party, in advance of the midterms, or a larger play to appeal to undecided voters or Republicans who maybe aren't MAGA republicans? Tom Tiffany is skipping the convention to stay on the ground in Wisconsin. From a national perspective, is he seeing a broader trend of battleground candidates distancing themselves from the bright-light events to focus on local, hyper-focused pocketbook issues? Oil prices are back around the $100-per-barrel mark and the trade war with Canada is escalating. Are congressional Republicans genuinely unified around this strategy in Iran and Canada, or is there some panic that affordability is being further compromised? Where was Scott in his broadcasting career on September 11, 2001?
