Cruz, asked about O’Reilly and Hannity: “There are hosts who make the decision to go in the tank

A good catch by Mediaite from Cruz’s interview this morning with Chris Stigall, and de facto confirmation of what I wrote earlier about the frustration he seems to be feeling with Hannity (and Fox News writ large). To be clear, it’s Stigall who brings up O’Reilly and Hannity. Cruz doesn’t name them as hosts who are “in the tank for Trump” but he’s complained before about O’Reilly’s habit of defending Trump and his spokesman’s complained about Hannity pushing Trump’s talking points. And Cruz’s silence in not challenging Stigall about O’Reilly and Hannity is deafening. He pointedly omits them from his list of hosts who aren’t in the tank — Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and, er, Rush, whom Cruz is careful to compliment. Did you know, Cruz boasts, that Rush has said that if you’re a conservative voter, I’m the obvious choice for president? And it’s true, Rush has said that.

Hannity has carried Rubio & Cruz's water for a long time.

There are Cubanadians who make the decision run for offices for which they are not eligible.

As opposed to, say, GlennBeck...a courageous freedom fighter?

I am pretty much able to think for myself. I don’t need help deciding from Rush, Beck, or any of them but thanks anyway, Ted.

Funny he leaves out a few others at fox who are in the tank for Trump. Cruz has no complaints. He has most of the talk radio sellouts. O’Reilly does his best to be fair. Hannity get’s a little emotional.

Rush is cold and calculating, wanting to keep that plausible deniability, Beck is a nut job.

Yeah, well...we held our noses for years, decades even, for Republicans to do something about stopping liberalism.

Conservatives with impeccable ACU ratings and endorsements from the Christian Right to say something about homos marrying and men wanting to take a whizz in female bathrooms.

You can mock us all you want, but we're not playing the game anymore where we get to break out our pom-poms and scream that we need to vote for the R or else the Dim will win.

Yep. As it is said, a taste of honey is worse than none at all. For a brief moment, Cruz though he could be the GOP nominee.

The same thing happened to Rand Paul. Paul was mature enough to eventually let it go. Cruz is not that mature.

I do not know how old you are but I have been a conservative since the 1960 election when I was in high school. I am a Christian Conservative and I support Trump. He is the best man for the job at this time.

I have heard Limbaugh’s denials, but they are laughingly not plausible, by any stretch.
