they wouldn't be in for any surprises. >> so if he wanted to talk about the gig, your phone is right there? >> i want to help and not hurt, i'm such a realist that i realize there are a whole lot of people out there who would say anybody but palin. i don't i wouldn't want to be a burden on the ticket. i recognize that in many, many eyes, i would be that burden. so you know, i just want the guy to win. i want america to win. and i don't know if i would be the person that would be able to help him win, jake. >> let's bring in cnn politics reporter eric bradner. would trump be able to win with sarah palin on the ticket? >> well, vice presidential nominees typically play the role of attack dog but it's usually attacking the other party's front-runner or candidate, not people within their own party. so palin and trump really sort of play to the same part of the republican electorate. it may not be a great match. she really does sort of have the same sort of populist appeal that trump does we don't know what direction he's going to go. later on jake's show, jan brewer, the former arizona governor kind of volunteered herself for the job. he could look for someone with some ties to washington or maybe a governor or something like that. >> he says he wants someone with political experience because he says business, i got that but i need someone with political experience. >> that's right. he seems to know he needs someone who can help him make deals on capitol hill. something that trump talks a lot about at lot lately. he knows he needs to negotiate with legislatives and even if it his brand is strength and this idea he can get anything done through force of will. and the art of the deal. if he represents the anti-establishment or the nonestablishme nonestablishment, does he essentially turn off the people who have been voting for him as the one who represents something other than washington politics, politics as we know it? >> that's a great question. it would be going off brand, right? but trump also has this ability to sell decisions he makes. he reversed his position on the minimum wage and taxes for the wealthy. just today, he might be able to sell this idea that look, i'm the one who is this anti-politician figure that can really shake things up. i need somebody to work behind the scenes. he might be able to sell his voters on the idea that something like that could help him but it's also a big risk to take if you're a sitting member of congress or the senate. we've seen a lot of members resist getting on the trump train so far. it's a bit risky on both sides. >> changing his own game plan, eric, he has professed and has served him well that he's self-funded and he doesn't own -- his vote and his persuasion isn't owned by anyone or any organization or any super pac, et cetera, now saying in the general election and race for general election, now he's willing to raise money to take -- why is that not going back on his word or is it a totally different race now and those who elected him in primaries would excuse that kind of change of plan? >> he really does seem to be sort of setting this up as an entirely different race in the primary. he was actually able to win the primary not only by spending his own money but doing it dined of on the cheap. he was able to dominate media attention in every city he flew to for the mega rallies while other candidates were dwarfing him on the air waves. the argument for republican primary voters, hillary clinton is an entirely different animal. one big negative about self-funding in the primary is that trump didn't build a big list of potential donors, these people coming out to his events. he can't now turn and start tapping into them saying i don't want big -- lobbyist contributors, i want you all to give me a little money. it's a little more difficult. >> hoping to jump on the bandwagon so to speak? >> uh-huh. >> always good to see you, thanks so much. >> now to new and exclusive details cnn is learning about how serious the cruz campaign was about a cruz/rubio ticket. this image of what might have been a powerful picture, cruz/rubio, 2016. top officials in the cruz campaign are convinced if rubio would have agreed to be ted cruz's running mate, the presidential race would be a very different one today. the cruise campaign even poll tested a cruz/rubio ticket in five states, illinois, arizona, wisconsin, and north carolina and missouri. the results according to a cruz source, blowout. trump, 35%. representatives from the cruz camp were sent to feel it all out but rubio never expressed any interest. let's bring in julian, a historian and professor at princeton. good to see you. >> thank you. >> a lot of monday morning quarterbacking here. a cruz/rubio ticket. would that have helped stop that trump movement? >> i'm not convinced. as we saw rubio did not do well in most of these primaries including in his own states, i understand what cruz is saying and you ask imagine the possible excitement but you know, it's not clear rubio would have given in that balance and the campaign would pay directly into donald trump's argument about being the anti-washington candidate. i don't think we can take the speculation as reality as simply speculation. >> trump said this morning on abc he doesn't think the party needs to be unified. in other words, can he win even without the party's support in a very big way? >> i think he'll need more republicans to buy into his campaign. i think he wants their support but more republicans will also come along at least to support the party ticket even if they are not supporting trump personally. i think right now you have a negotiation taking place where both sides are being tough with each other and trying to leverage as much as they can get into the convention. >> you write this in an opinion page for cnn this morning, that democrats should be extremely careful about becoming overconfident. there are many reasons the democrats should fear trump and anticipated campaign that is much closer and tougher than they are expecting. what do you mean? >> one scenario is take democratic blowout and they do well in the white house and senate and even the house. trump has proven to be a good campaigner and has a real constituency out there. there's a lot of vulnerabilities that hillary clinton faces. everyone said a few months ago this is someone who is not going to be the nominee. we're hearing predictions he can't win the general election. we have to understand the electorate is more dynamic and uncertain as expected. >> good to see you. thanks so much. >> coming up, we'll turn to the democratic side as sanders is not giving up. what is his political future looking like? how are his supporters responding? and snl at it again. dana carvy reprizing his role as church lady at the expense of ted cruz. >> has anyone ever told you you're just a little preachy? just a little bit. we like ourselves, don't we? look at that face. we love ourselves because we think we're just a little bit -- there it is. that's that happy superior face because we love jesus more than anybody. most people think that after an accident, you'll have to pay five hundred bucks for your deductible. the truth? at allstate, you could pay zero. allstate gives you a hundred dollars off your deductible the day you sign up. then another hundred off every year you don't have an accident. let the good hands reward your safe driving with a deductible that goes away. ♪ deductible rewards. one more way you're in good hands with allstate. ♪ but i've managed.e crohn'sn disease is tough,th allstate. except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. we are focused on winning the democratic nomination. if that doesn't happen, we're going to fight as hard as we can on the floor of the democratic convention to make sure that we have a progressive platform that the american people will support and then after that certainly secretary clinton and i can sit down and see where we go from there. >> senator bernie sanders leaving open the possibility of talks with hillary clinton about the path forward. but not before every state has had a chance to vote. sanders is holding a rally in new jersey in a couple of hours and cnn's rachel crane is there. rachel, facing an uphill battle. does that seem to be weighing on supporters at all there? >> well, fred, it certainly is an uphill battle. it is mathematically impossible that sanders secures a nomination before the convention. let me tell you, sanders supporters incredibly passionate. there are thousands of people we're told there are thousands more still in line outside and when we asked some of the supporters whether their support for sanders was waining because he's behind, we heard an adamant no. >> he is an amazing candidate, from coming from zero percent rating and now he's head to head with clinton. it's an amazing battle. i'm with him all the time. >> when i saw there was an honest man running for president, there's not enough i can possibly do to try to help. i'm not waivering in the slight rest. >> reporter: this is not sanders only event being held in new jersey. tomorrow morning i'll hold another rally in atlantic city and garden state on june 7th. >> so sanders sharply criticized clinton last week in indiana. are there concerns that supporters may not vote for her in the general election if she were to win the nomination? >> fred, it certainly is a mixed bag here the majority of the people we spoke to said they are thinking about a therd party candidate if sanders does not win the nomination. one woman said she would write in sanders name on the ballot and even spoke to one man who said he's contemplating moving to canada and was not kidding about it. >> okay. rachel crane, thanks so much. we'll go back to you. coming up, tornadoes tear through colorado. a massive twister is caught on camera. the latest next. plus, a wildfire larger than new york city. why firefighters are having trouble containing it. we'll have a live report. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. good news about massive wildfires raging in canada. the burn area is still larger than the size of new york city and smoke is billowing as far away as florida. cnn is live in edmonton, alberta. people describing this as arm ma ged on. >> it was amazing the fire whipping through fort mcmurray. the good news is that it's slowing down slightly despite the wind blowing all around me right now. basically burning away from fort mcmurray. firefighters really up against it hitting it with everything they have. some 1500 firefighters in alberta and many people praising them for their great work. >> more heroes in this experience than i've ever thought existed. >> story. >> that's okay, adam. it's okay. >> more firefighters and more emergency responders and police, and everybody that have given up their own homes and families waiting for them to help protect my home. they are heroes to me. >> and talking to one fire official off camera, saying to me how they have been fighting these blazes nonstop. they are tired and can use relief and some is coming and going to come in. they have firefighters on ground from ontario and will come in from new brunswick because the highlight as they say, it did not double as expected. so that's the silver lining in all of this. >> all right, thank you so much. >> turning now to the weather in this country, at least five people are recovering from injuries after tornadoes touched down in colorado. take a look at this incredible video out of the town of wray. the tornado on the ground for six miles causing significant damage to several homes there. police there spent part of the evening rounding up cattle wandering on the highway. amazingly there have been no reports of serious injuries. >> and he has escaped before so what are officials doing now as they move him to a new prison near the u.s.?

how does this translate to you, that this drug king pin who is escaped and then found again and then escaped and found again would be moved because he's uncomfortable in a prison? >> yeah, my first instinct when i heard the news was to believe that in the pointe grande, two prisons he escaped from before, there are a lot of very high ranking cartel members. i don't -- we don't know exactly how much they are allowed to interact but you could presume that there's more chance that he stays connected with the cartel world in those prisons. so my first instinct was perhaps they are moving him around to a different prison to keep him out of the loop as it were. the other thing is it could be a strategy just to keep him moving. they do this in mexico this do this with the military, where the military is fighting the drug war and move the military round to a whole corruption. they may be doing the same thing with chap po, keeping him mobil to a point to risk escape. >> if you move him around, that reduces the chances of him being becoming too familiar with the setting or his paem. too familiar with how to potentially break him out again. >> exactly. >> sorry, go on. >> el chapo's lawyers are saying that in concert with that he's now okay with being extradited to the united states. and the attorneys explaining in large part because the u.s. prisons are likely to be better equipped than those in mexico. would that be a -- i guess a reason behind why el chapo would cooperate with extradition? >> there are several reasons he might -- it's impossible to read his mind or the legal minds behind his one thing i've long thought about, there was a drug trafficker who joke and said he wanted to be extradited. chapo, if he comes here for trial, there are various charges and could try him and prosecutors have said that there's a desire on narco terrorism charges which would raise the possibility of life in prisonment. but there's also the possibility that he'll get 10 or 15 years. and then be free. he's not that old. in mexico, he's likely to serve forever, you know, a life term barring escape. so it's possible that he's putting -- he may be thinking i'll put my faith in the judicial system that actually you know, may serve me better in a weird way. the other thing is we have no idea what is going on behind the scenes in terms of intelligence that you know, these guys know so much, someone like chap poe -- i've always joked and said that if you -- if chapo were to talk, we could really get -- law enforcement could really get to the roots of the problems in mexico. and not just sort of deal with the superficial. we could get into the corruption and why it happens and how exactly it happens. >> interesting. >> so it would be very beneficial to all parties. >> there are seven u.s. states that want to prosecute. if you were to go to brooklyn, there's one line of thinking that the charges would be consolidated so he would be tried one time. what's your view as to whether he would be charged and tried one time, one place or whether he would end up dotting the map so to speak in the u.s.? >> i hate to add mitd it on air, but i don't know enough about the judicial system to know how a multiple trials would work. i do know from my reporting that there's a push for having him tried in brooklyn or chicago. chicago because of the damage that's the cartel has done. in the city and de a's tough work there against them and brooklyn, brooklyn because you know, lower manhattan and brooklyn have been the seat of a lot of organized crime and terrorism trials in recent years. they are tough for what they are dealing with. >> sorry to interrupt. quickly, since you do know that the kind of trappings of how his cartel works, et cetera. without el chapo, somebody else naturally steps in. because he has been arrested or detained or will be extradited or charged or prosecuted, does not necessarily mean that the cartel disappears or dissolves. quickly, what happens? >> not at all. what we've seen it's under reported but it is happening. increased violence. when a cartel leader of his magnitude falls, that is a very big downside of our king pin strategy. we know that. the u.s. authorities know that. it is our strategy. i do believe the title of my book was the last narco. i don't believe we'll ever see a guy or woman of his stature who has benefited from such corruption and lawlessness to rise into that position again. others will follow. there will be drug traffickers, that's not going to end -- >> we'll leave it right there. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> getting the republican national convention should have been a coup for the city of cleveland. but with protests following donald trump around, the city is so concerned about violence that it's now taking out riot insurance. we'll speak to the head of the city council straight ahead. look at 'em! they're lovin' their vegetables. this is huge news! it's all thanks to our birds eye chef's favorites side dishes perfectly sauced or seasoned. what are you..?

with trump now the presumptive republican nominee some are worried the national convention in cleveland could look like this. >> or the 2004 protest at the republican convention in manhattan, new york police were criticized for how they handled those protests and city paid out around $18 million over civil rights violations. kevin kelly is the president of cleveland city council. good to see you. your city is taking out insurance against potential lawsuits stemming from how riots potentially could be handled. what fueled that decision? where did this come from? >> thanks, first off, thank you for having me. i'm very familiar with the inflammatory rhetoric but any delegate or guest to the city of cleveland should know they'll have a safe and enjoyable visit to cleveland. on the insurance, that is not riot insurance, it's liability insurance against protesters and against claims against the city or law enforcement officers but nothing that other convention cities haven't taken out. it's not unusual and not in response to trump. it's part of what we do to keep the delegates and visitors and our citizens safe. >> is this liability insurance something the city already has or are you telling me it's an additional liability insurance to protect the city just as any city would do for a large event like this? >> thanks, we're taking -- this is above and beyond what we normally do. we do not have this as a self-standing -- this insurance is for those events, it's liability insurance for the city of cleveland. it is professional liability insurance, essentially against any -- >> what was the catalyst for this? >> the catalyst is our preparations for the rnc. we looked at what other cities have done. we looked at what should we do? what is a smart decision for the stiff cleveland to run a first class convention. what are the preparations we need to do? this is one of many items that we thought would have been wise, would be wise to do to run a first class convention. >> in addition to this then, is there anything you can share that represents the protections put in place, the preparation put in place in anticipation for a convention of this magnitude? >> absolutely. our city of cleveland intelligence unit is very good. and we've been dealing with situation of unrest for many months. we're working with secret service, homeland security. our counsel held hearings with the rnc committee on arrangements who have been through many of these conventions and told us no less than three times, they are very comfortable with the security arrangements that have been made thus far. they are very confident in the security plan that's being put forward and i'm very confident in our counsel is confident we're going to run a first class convention and it's going to be safe and safe for everybody who visits our city. >> would these are arrangements that are o vert, they could visibly be made aware of, reinforcements in place because of this convention? >> i'm sorry, could you please repeat? >> are these reinforcements going to be very overt, people can see, would you, there's beefed up security as a result of this convention? >> both overt security and plenty of undercover security. there's going to be every provision that needs to be taken from a security perspective to make sure this convention is a first class convention and safe and free, there's always protests at these conventions. we're not going to get away from that. that the protesters and delegates and law enforcement officers are safe are all priorities. i'm confident we'll meet all expectations. >> thanks so much for your time. >> thank you, fredericka. >> a memorable moment when president barack obama singles out a student for her amazing achievements. >> i've learned about some of the young people graduating here today. a young woman named ciara jefferson graduating with you. i'm going to use her as an example. >> you're going to meet ciara and her mother on this mother's day next. wanna drink more water?

>> no, it was definitely a surprise. they asked for my consent to use my comments, but i didn't know at all that i would be used as a personal reference or example. >> that's incredible. for you, yolandria, what was that like to hear your daughter being singled out like that? >> i'm still in shock, to be honest. i think i probably blacked out. i fell over went to screaming, that's my daughter, that's my daughter. i had parents crying around me, i was crying. it's unbelievable. i will never forget this experience for the rest of my life. >> wow. how incredible. cia ciara, you're very accomplished as a graduating senior there just looking at your personal website and your bio provided by howard university. you did not take your education lightly and the president even acknowledged the fact that your woman, you know, working seven days a week to help get you through school. and your gpa was so impressive that you had at least two competing universities. how did you make that decision to go to howard over harvard? >> well, i've always wanted to go to howard. i knew that i wanted to pledge a sorority. and the environment for howard was immaculate. so howard was always my first choice. the scholarship pays for me to go and continue my studies all the way through my doctoral program. so i knew if i could, i was going to howard. >> you were recognized as a high school student and then at howard, you studied abroad in south africa. you majored in legal and management communications with a minor in public health and you have vowed to work as hard as you can so your mom won't have to. what is your life plan?
