there was no particular reason to attack susannah martinez, right?ow what goes on in that man's head. i'm not so sure there was a pledge, other than that's who he is. picking on the establishment is something he's been good at and it has treated him well thus far. he's not just anti-washington, he's anti-politician. whether he's achieved that, i don't know, but it does reinforce the people who like him. the people who like him aren't really worried about susannah martinez. it's the people on the fence about trump who find that so offensive. mark: tell us where you are in this? >> yeah, i'll support donald trump. i supported chris christie. the voters have the say in deciding who is the nominee. mark: are you advising him? >> no. i continue to advise my friend, chris christie. i have no official role. mark: if he calls you over the weekend what would you suggest? >> i would like to see the unity project continuing a little bit longer. he is very much a nonpolitician agent of change at a time when she is the status quo. none of the other sidebars are g

susannah martinez. >> look, i think susannah martinez great name because, again, she's a female, hispanic, governor from new mexico, but she has been pretty forward out there saying she doesn't want it. i know that all can change. so i think she could be in the mix but, look, i don't know -- the other thing is that the personal relationship is going to be very important here. >> martinez has said some pretty harsh things about donald trump. you get the impression she doesn't want to have anything to with him. let me throw another name at you. robert gates. former defense secretary. worked for both republican and democrats. >> the question here is who is going to take this. and that's going to be trump's first threshold. he's got to look at who would say yes. and there's a lot of people that have said no. you know, i don't know if robert gates would. i don't know if he's on the record on trump. again, this is going to be -- i think it would help as far as national security. that's another big checkmark that trump has to check in order to assure conservatives that, look, you're going to hav

susannah martinez is a gop governor and part of his party, she's a republican.at she didn't show up also basically underlies that she didn't want to be complicit to what donald trump is doing, not only within the gop but also among americans the way he's talking about race and latinos. i think it's something that the republican party really has to reckon with. i think they recognize they have a latino problem. they recognize they have to try to fix this latino problem in order to get to the white house but they have a candidate, a front-runner who doesn't seem to care, who recognizes that by instigating this type of decisiveness, it actually rallies up his base. >> we've talked about this at length. susannah martinez is not exactly the most -- >> she's very unfriendly when it comes to immigration reform. >> let's talk about that. let's talk about the driver's license for the undocumented. that was one of the first issues she ran on and she has been running on that since. >> so she -- again, she is just -- she seems like a very natural ally for him in new mexico,

last night he criticized new mexico's republican governor, susannah martinez, and charlie, tonight trump will talk by phone with house speaker paul ryan, who, like martinez, has withheld his endorsement. >> rose: thanks, major. outside that trump rally if anaheim today, police proved in when protesters clashed with trump supporters. several arrests were made. forecasters expect more severe storms tomorrow in the great plains. parts of kansas and oklahoma are still reeling from tornadoes that struck yesterday. omar villafranca reports the clean-up is just beginning. >> reporter: front loaders are scooping up all this is left of kathy hamilton's home in dodge city. this is what hamilton's house looked like before the storm. >> oh, no. >> reporter: but an ef-3 tornado, packing at east 136mph winds, decimated her house, leaving behind a twisted metal frame and some cinderblocks. >> it's gone. everything is gone. >> oh, it's hitting the house. >> reporter: yesterday's storm system raked across the country's mid-section, killing one and injuring two more. the storm spawned tornadoes in kansas

>> yeah, well, again, your unofficial scorer, i -- why go after susannah martinez. let me count the ways. she's a woman, hispanic, chairman of the republican governor's association. sorry to make light of this. and then he accuses her of welcoming in syrian refugees in mexico, which isn't true. >> this again i think, he'd rather fight than switch. he reads something, he realizes she hasn't endorsed him, she doesn't like him, he picks this fight. this was not a good decision. he's his own adviser. let me say this. somebody who's been around for a while. the most dangerous time is when things are going well for you. it's when you're going uphill, you have to watch every step when things are going well, things are going very well. conservatives are falling behind him. this is when he needs to be careful about a mistake. >> trump has a way of dominating every day's news. you know? hillary makes no news. except when she gets in trouble for her state department. good for trump. he has a way of staying in the headlines good bad or indifferent. that has helped him to date.

the last few years who have emerged as real future leaders for the party like paul ryan, like susannah martinez. he's specifically gone after them. yes, me may be consolidating party leader say we'll do it. anybody who would be jumping in at this point would be doing so to preserve what would come next after the next five months of the election. >> ana, can you answer the criticism there? would it be another example of the republican party, quote, unquote, establishment being out of touch with voters? particularly primary voters? >> you know, that argument is getting a little old, particularly when so many establishment donors and folks are now backing donald trump. i do think they should fear somebody like mitt romney. when hillary clinton has got 57% unfavorability, when the democratic party, as we're seeing, is fractured and there's a significant fraction of democrats who are unhappy with her and almost prefer donald trump as a second choice, then hillary clinton i would say a third party candidate, the right one, could possibly appeal to all the people who are unhappy on both sides. who are

his comments on new mexico governor susannah martinez, fellow republican and head of the republican governors association as well. it's a little loud, hopefully you can hear me. but we're monitoring what's happening on the street. at this point, it looks like this smaller group -- we have seen some folks disperse, but it looks like this crowd is going to be here for a little while. >> what is that smoke on the left part of the screen, hallie? the yellow smoke? >> it looks as though -- we understand it's not tear gas. that's the reporting that we're getting from police. but there was some sort of smoke deployed and we were inside the convention center when it happened. you can see essentially the smoke come up and kind of cover the glass and the windows of the convention center. and inside you had these hundreds of people trying to leave the trump rally, trying to walk out and it created a real bottleneck as folks got log-jammed when they saw the smoke come towards the window. when they heard rocks or pellets hitting the glass, there were audible gasps. people were talking about the protesters

among his targets now, new mexico's republican governor, susannah martinez. she's the nation's first female hispanic governor who has yet to endorse donald trump by the way and has denounced his comments about mexican immigrants. >> we have to get your governor to get going. she's got to do a better job, okay. she's not doing the job. hey, maybe i'll run for governor of new mexico. i'll get this place going. >> governor martinez' office responded by saying the governor will not be bullied into supporting a candidate until she is convinced that candidate will fight for new mexicans. joining me live, the newly named chairman of the platform committee at the republican national committee, senator john boraco. we have a lot to get to but you have endorsed the presumptive nominee, donald trump. part of your concerns as you expressed after the meeting with donald trump that we all followed very closely was his tone, his focus on policy or lack thereof. since that meeting in washington with donald trump, have you seen a change in his tone and his focus on policy? >>

it's a question having to do with attacks he made to susannah martinez and a warning that was made tom. >> if i have a republican that's not on my side, i'm not gonna -- why should i be particularly nice to that person? if i have a person that's not going to support me, i have no obligation. politically, i may be right or wrong. but that's who i am. if somebody is going to say a little bit negative or a lot negative about me, if they happen to be republican, i may choose to hit them back. not always. >> nixon came to mind, clinton came to mind, bush 43 and jesse ventura, all of them lost their base at some point. when you lose your base, you can't get anything done. this guy's attacking members of his own party. how do you govern if you do that? >> well, it's very difficult. he's doing everything outside the normal rules and so far, so good. it's hard to criticize him when he's doing well and winning. i do know governor martinez had criticized him. but most people go by the rule, when it's over, it's over. i won, i'll be magnanimous. not donald. he's always looking for trouble, lookin

. >> reporter: some of the unease is due to trump's coin governor susannah martinez. >> maybe i'll runor of new mexico, i'll get this place going. she's not doing the job. >> reporter: ryan and other republican leaders came to her defense worried about trump's standing with women and hispanics. trump remained unfazed. >> she was on somebody else's side. which is fine. that's everybody's right. i imagine she'll come over to my side. >> reporter: in a campaign defined by the unexpected, trump and bernie sanders are considering a debate before california's june 7th primary. >> i'd love to debate bernie. the problem is he's going to lose. >> i thank mr. trump for agreeing to debate. i look forward to it. and i look forward to defeating him and becoming the democratic nominee. >> reporter: hours before trump clinched the gop nomination, president obama said in japan, trump has justifiably rattled "ignorance of world affairs." charlie, trump dismissed that line of attack and later posted this instagram photo showing his nomination-clinching victory meal from mcdonald's complete as the jingle

inside, trump criticizing new mexico's republican governor susannah martinez who is also hispanic. >>tamps in new mexico has tripled. we have to get your governor to get going. she's got to do a better job. okay? hey! maybe i'll run for governor of new mexico. i'll get this place going. >> reporter: but the bulk of trump's personal attacks set on targeting hillary clinton, trump opting to make fun of her voice. >> i will never say this. but she screams. it drives me crazy. >> reporter: and using some of his harshest language yet against clinton. >> i see this low life. she puts on an air. >> reporter: angry clinton is painting trump as a greedy billionaire based on comments made in 2006 when he said he hoped to profit when the housing market collapsed. >> they have a clip of me saying, if it goes down i'm going to buy -- i'm a businessman. that's what i'm supposed to do. >> reporter: democratic senator elizabeth warren going after trump for his past business practices. >> donald trump was drooling over the idea of a housing meltdown, because it meant he could buy up more property on t
