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.
Heh. He WAS totally irrelevant, you just can’t handle the truth in my response.
Hard not to notice you couldn’t refute or discuss anything I said.
You too have a lovely evening.
I doubt you will, but I’ll wait and see.
Why would I bother? Will I change your mind? No.
Will you change mine? No.
Exercises in futility are, well, futile.
Again, have a lovely evening.
“...Christie....I live in NJ and I was pleased to see him stand with Trump....”
**************************************************************************************
I understand. But, judging from his appearance as he stood BEHIND & off to the side of Trump, Christie was less pleased than you. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician look less comfortable and more out of place than Christie did standing there.
You said “very polite”. Apparently you missed the title of this thread. You obviously weren’t listening or just thought you were. Or you probably were tuned in to Wiener Nation. Either way you don’t know what you are talking about.
LOL. Shall I give you Trump's endless repeating of talking points?
It is a liberal idea that everyone has to agree with you. It is a liberal idea that if they don't, you insult them.
This is a Conservative forum. Being a 11-10-2015 sign up you might have missed that.
Enjoy your evening.
There is only a certain amount of time and Trump is spending his where he thinks it will have the best chance of advancing his campaign. If he doesn’t win he cannot Make America Great Again.
That’s the bottom line, winning for America. Second guessing from the sidelines that Tump could have done X or Y is nonproductive and mean spirited. Its said not out of a real knowledge about what else would have had to be left undone to visit those states but out of a desire to make Trump look bad/incompetent/or whatever the meme of the day is.
Just like saying Cruz is playing by the rules ignores the fact that Cruz’s actions pervert the process and disenfranchise the voters.
You have a nice evening.
I heard the interview, Cruz sounds totally unhinged, wonder why if he’s doing so well......
I don’t have anything against Hannity; I think his heart is in the right place. However, as I think everyone knows, he’s not the brightest light around. I’m sure Hannity did get frustrated. He wanted to talk about conspiracy theories and sore loser complaints and Cruz wanted to talk specific policy points (policy not being something that is Deceitful Don’s strong suit).
Policy doesn’t excite the portion of Hannity’s audience made up of low information voters. No wonder there was disagreement between Hannity and Cruz.
“There is only a certain amount of time and Trump is spending his where he thinks it will have the best chance of advancing his campaign.”
I am a Cruz delegate to Washington State. Based on what I have heard, I think the delegates will be overwhelmingly for Cruz.
However, the delegates to the Ohio Convention will be mostly bound to our state’s primary results on the first ballot. So it will be interesting to see if Trump holds some big rallies and media buys here, and how that will affect the primary results. Of course, Washington State may be irrelevant by then too.
Different tactics for different places.
I sure hope Cruz does boycott Hannity, I hope he boycotts all of the talk show/TV show hosts. It would be very restful.
Agreed. Sean doesn’t like unbound delegates, but it sure as hell isn’t Cruz’s fault that those are the rules. Jeez...stop whining. I thought Ted responded with a convincing case about the incompetence of the Trump campaign....but I like Ted.
Hannity has carried Rubio & Cruz’s water for for 4 years. This shows how unlikeable he is.
My gosh... Cruz is just one mean, snarky dude. He just sinks lower and lower in my book.
Cruz is a criminal fraud along with his Bush financers & RNC. Cruz pisses on the Constitution document & the Bible.
Constitution forbids all delegate votes awarded. It violates apportionment.
Constitution forbids non fixed delegates.
Constitution forbids multilevel elections.
Cruz cannot beat Hillary after angering entire state’s voters eg CO, WY, etc. Cruz is a tyrant.
Simple. When a large percentage of voters are sick and tired of the existing political culture, and view its "rules" as opposed to their interests, then taking advantage of the rules tends to annoy the voters.
Remember the House banking scandal? The House members who were using that bank were following the rules, but once the public learned what the "rules" were they weren't too happy about them. And a number of politicians found themselves in political hot water.
Annoying voters is rarely a good way to win election.
With Teddy Bears...right!
I cant believe I once supported this POS.
Agreed. No way Cruz would be Hillary.
