by team cruz in mobilizing grassroots volunteers. cruz is now taunting trump on twitter writing #whiningisn'twinning. >> done nast has been yelling and screaming. a lot of whining. i'm sure some cursing. and some late night fevered tweeting. when people vote against him they're stealing the election. it's a really odd notion. well, what is this democracy of which you speak? >> reporter: and trump says he's starting to think about vice presidential running mates and innance interview he floated names of people he says he likes including john kasich, scott walker and, get this, his old nemesis marco rubio. george. >> i guess they'll let bygones be bygones.

about the delegate process, this is just the beginning. when it many coulds to fighting for them just about anything goes. >> well, absolutely. and you know, george, i faulted donald trump's campaign, if he doesn't make the 1,237 delegates it hasn't because he's put together a professional campaign and grown in the course of this but i think donald trump is right about this. this system is rigged and that doesn't mean it's crooked or corrupt but it is rigged. it's rigged in a way just like wall street is rigged. just like many other things are rigged. to me it's a lot like stealing signs in baseball. it's not against the rules but it is a rigged system that gives advantages to one person over another. >> well, both parties want to give advantages -- want the delegates to give advantages to the established candidates and that's where you have the superdelegates on the democratic side. meantime, you're about to see a big win for donald trump here and it's a big delegate prize here in new york. >> well, i think this is a huge thing for donald trump. he has suffered some loss, as you know, recently in the course of this but has the capacity if the polls are right which they

single delegate out of new york and then go into the next five states in a very good position to pick up a lot of delegates. it's not out of the question, i know that we've been talking a lot about contested conventions and it is highly likely but if donald trump puts a series of victories together starting with new york he has still a capacity to put this away before the conventions. >> still has the chance. on the democratic side you can't say it's must win for both sides. >> yeah, i think it is must win for different reasons. it's not math must win for hillary clinton. it's sort of save her reputation. she has to win her home state but bernie sanders needs to win this state, new york, to change the conversation. he's got a math problem against him. if he wins new york it totally changes the conversation in the course of this. >> okay, matt dowd, thanks very much. >> one week to go, george. all right. now the latest on the killing of will smith. his former coach for the saints, sean payton speaking out and new surveillance video that appears to show the moment that led to the shoot-out as

accident. and this is where the legal standard is critical. proof beyond a reasonable doubt. >> right. >> they're going to have to prove, the prosecution, that he did this on purpose, that it was intentional and that's going to be the challenge in a lot will be watching. all right, dan, thank you. we move on to that airport meltdown caught on camera. you see this enraged mom lashing out because a flight delay was ruining her family's dream vacation. that delay eventually closed in on 12 hours and abc's david kerley is at reagan national airport with the story. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. we've all felt that frustration of a plane not getting there in time but in this case, bad weather, the runways were shut down but that didn't stop one woman from letting airport workers know what she thought. angry passengers surrounded the counter, where is their plane. >> if there's no flight just say there's no flight. >> reporter: this just discovered video shows a frustrated crowd waiting for a 9 p.m. flight from laguardia to miami on american airlines. >> i'm getting everyone's name here because

you guys -- you just really rule so what would eddie -- how would eddie mentor some young'uns coming up in the comedic role. >> first of all, do your own jokes. don't be going around doing richard pryor jokes. don't even know who richard pryor is. everybody wants to be kevin hart. do your own joke, all right. that's what i say. >> that's what eddie would say and 15th anniversary for "scary movie." >> i know. i was 15 when i shot it. yeah, i was a child. >> you guys just make it work. >> yeah, i love anna. we want to do something together now. >> oh really? >> we are. we're trying to figure out what is going to be our project now that we're 29. >> i know. >> you do the math. >> her eyes so expressive. thank you both very much. and you've got to stay through the credits of this movie, "barbershop" the next cut.
