Trump's campaign manager acknowledges he's losing

Donald Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, conceded Sunday that their campaign was trailing Hillary Clinton's in the race for president.

"We are behind," she said, offering as an explanation several advantages Clinton has, including a lopsided ad war heavily tilted her way and all-star surrogates, starting with President Barack Obama, campaigning with her.

"Our advantage is that Donald Trump is just going to continue to take the case directly to the people. He doesn't expect to be able to cut through the noise or the silence and the way we're treated by some," she said.

On CBS's "Face The Nation," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said he still thought Trump could win. But he also had to answer questions about whether the party stood behind its nominee.

"Of course we're behind Donald Trump. This is ridiculous, as if we wouldn't be behind the nominee of the party. Of course we are," he said.
