Echoing a sentiment shared by millions of Republican primary voters across the country, conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity essentially placed the GOP establishment on notice during his Wednesday program.
The popular host was speaking about the not-so-secret plan that the party elites intend to try and use a "brokered" convention to more or less steal the nomination away from front-running candidate Donald Trump should he fail to garner the required number of delegates beforehand.
Hannity then proceeded to voice his extreme displeasure with the idea, even suggesting he would abandon the party if it came to that.
Hannity asked rhetorically, “Are they going to cut their nose to spite their face?”
"You know, if they are going to be that self destructive, and if they're going to pout, and if they're going to pick up their little toys, and they're going to go home like a bunch of babies, they will destroy, there will be no Republican Party at the end of this," Hannity proclaimed.
"Because if they're successful, guess what? Cruz and Trump supporters are walking out," he stated. "And, I'm walking out with them."
This is a threat that the GOP establishment should take seriously, as Hannity remains fairly influential among the more conservative base of the party.

Hannity isn’t a Republican. He’s a member of NY’s Conservative Party.
He already abandoned the party. He is a registered conservative.
I thought he already left the republican party. Years ago.
Way to go Hannity!
TRUMP 2016
Hannity isn’t a Republican. He’s a member of NY’s Conservative Party.
He was sending a message.
I would hardly consider that a SHOCK announcement.
.
Hannity tells ‘em!
SHOCKING!
I’m SHOCKED.
Wait a minute, no I’m not.
YAWN.
I didn’t think his afternoon radio program came on until 3pm EDT. Did he put this out in a special statement?
Right-they’ll take the nomination away from the man most able to succeed (whomever THAT is), to put their OWN choice in the running... and lose.
Nothing new here.
Second it. If that happens, I am DONE with the GOP.
There isn't one now so they won't be missed.
It just doesn’t matter.
So what if the Republicans force a brokered convention?
The GOP is a Dead Man Walking. They are on life support and are/have been essentially useless and ineffective since 2008.
They blew themselves up. They self-imploded. They have been co-opted by leftists and liberals.
And now Donald Trump is the leading (conservative) candidate?
The video will probably answer your questions.
He said the same thing last week on his radio show.
Hannity was sending a message that people are very mad at the GOPe. good for him.
