Sean Hannity got a little frustrated with Ted Cruz during a radio interview this afternoon over his campaign’s delegate game.
Cruz said he doesn’t think most people care about this stuff. Hannity shot back by invoking his millions of followers and saying plenty of people “find this whole process confusing.”
When Cruz dismissively said only Donald Trump‘s people are complaining, Hannity kind of blew up:
“Senator, why do you do this? Every single time––no, you gotta stop! Every time I have you on the air and I ask you a legitimate question, you try to throw this in my face, I’m getting sick of it!”
Cruz testily asked, “Sean, can I answer your last question without being interrupted?”
He explained how the system works and how the “noise and complaining and whining” is only coming from Team Trump. Hannity shot back that people have serious issues and “it’s a simple question, it’s not a Trump question.”

At one point, Hannity said, “Senator, I don’t know why you’re mad.” Cruz said he’s not mad, he’s just irked that he’s asking “only about the nonsense” and not about policy.
Hannity insisted he has asked the senator about policy plenty of times and simply wants to address
Listen to the entire interview above, via The Sean Hannity Show.
This nastiness is the principal reason why I can't support Cruz: unpresidential.
(Note: this does not mean that I'm a supporter of another candidate
</Snarking turned back on>
Hannity gets schooled on a corrupt candidate.
~~Go Trump, GO!!~~~~Go Trump, GO!!~~~~Go Trump, GO!!~~
At least he didn’t compare anyone to a pedophile.......
Sean Hannity finds it “confusing?”
That could be because he’s easily confused...
“Senator, why do you do this? Every single time––no, you gotta stop! Every time I have you on the air and I ask you a legitimate question, you try to throw this in my face, I’m getting sick of it!”
Almost sounds like he was talking to a lawyer or something.
Ted doesn’t want to talk policy or he wouldn’t spend the majority of his time whining about Trump and bragging about “landslide” delegate buying.
Sorry, life's too short...
I hear the same tone from Ted every time he is confronted. He blames "someone"...and goes off on a totally different theme.
There’s no way in the world that Cruz wins the general election. He’s campaigning for Hillary. He knows it.
Good for Cruz. Hannity’s endless recitation of Trump campaign talking points is enough to make one gag on a Ruth’s Chris Steak.
Good job, Hannity.
Cruz needs to be crushed. If he wants to play lawyer, he can play in a courtroom.
In the case of the Republican convention, where he may arrive 50 to 100 votes short of the necessary 1,237, his ace will be the 136 unbound delegates.
Trump has already identified each one of these 136 free-to-vote-for-whomever-they-please delegates and has begun to woo them.
Yes, “it’s the rules.”
But that’s not the point. The point is that these SHOULDN’T be the rules. And millions of people are FINALLY realizing that.
Except that instead of dealing with it, the GOPe just whispers “it’s the rules, go back to sleep,” while Ted dances around in glee taking advantage of what everyone is waking up about.
It’s bizarre. Ted should at least have the decency to commiserate with the outrage while he grabs the delegates. He’s a politician, how can he screw that up? After all, even Clooney agreed that there’s too much money in politics the very day he helped raise millions for Hillary. THAT’S how it’s done!
Translation: "My mind's made up! Don't confuse me with facts!"
Is that why Hannity has given Ted 50% more time on his show than Trump?
Ditto for me. Cruz is dismissive when cornered or caught,which is rarely.
Cruz is just a lawyer to me. Like my Daddy said, I dont like lawyers,dont want a thing to do with them but if I need one I want the meanest,coniving SOB I can find. Cruz would be one. Daddys lawyer back home was another. Ever hear of Gene Stipe?
That's so much better than winning in the arena of ideas. /S
I heard it. Hannity was unusually rude. I was surprised he was so interruptive.
opinion piece vs. facts
Oranges and rotten apples.
