‘You Gotta Stop!’ Hannity Loses His Cool with Ted Cruz Over Delegates

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

The anticonservative hatred of Cruz grows.

It’s pathological

Trump is the person favored at every level of the process.

All you have is lip service from a “former liberal”. You must enjoy it.

DistrusTED...

I could do without the special edition insight into how your mind works. Everything is not about sodomy. Your comments on this thread reflect poorly on your candidate.

But he is more honest than Cruz or Rush at this point

BREAKING NEWS:

Just days after hiring Rick Astley as a campaign manager, the complete collapse of his poll numbers and the inevitable Trump victory has shocked Republican candidate Felito 'Ted' Cruz. The candidate was found this morning locked in his bathroom, suffering what we can only assume to be a nervous breakdown.

Law enforcement negotiators have been talking with the candidate, who refused to emerge from the washroom until his list of demands have been met, including the Presidency, an apology from every single Trump supporter in the nation, and a Blu-Ray of every Pixar movie that has been made.

When asked for comment, the Trump campaign spokesman had this to say: "We sympathize with Mr. Cruz's state of mind, and pray for his best health. To help him, we are willing to part with copies of Toy Story and Cars, but--

We're never gonna give him Up."

“But that’s not the point. The point is that these SHOULDN’T be the rules. And millions of people are FINALLY realizing that.”

Exactly and a lot of people are pissed to say the least. The people are finally waking up. This will not bode well for the GOP in the election.

Cruz explained over and over again that the delegates are won in elections. There are two levels of election in some states and both elections are voted on by real people and need to be won. Trump is happy to compete in one election and whine about losing the other. I don’t know how many times it needs to be explained to Hannity, but since he is a Trumpkin, I don’t expect him to be able to ever understand.

What does the extra time on Hannitys radio show have to do with O’Blowhards TV show?

[TXSearcher]

Hannity’s endless recitation of Trump campaign talking points is enough to make one gag

Yep.....either the media is too stupid to have understood how primary nominations have been done for the last 10/20/30 years.......or they are in the tank for Trump.

Why aren't they asking the "real" question?

Why didn't Trump care enough about winning the nomination to do the hard work of going to the State conventions to talk to the delegates and spending the money to put together a ground game? He's supposedly a brilliant businessman/deal maker and knows how to follow the rules in every state he does business in......but the GOPe primary rules are too confusing?

Could it be for the same reason his own kids didn't register to vote.....cause they knew their Dad was playing another publicity stunt and they never thought he would get this far in the game?

I'm sick of this snowflake whining. If you can't beat the GOPe by using their own rules, like the Tea Party has, then you sure as heck can NEVER beat the Socialists/Clinton/Sanders or ISIS, Iran, Russia, etc.

“How in the heck can you support a lying, sleazy Establishment candidate that is losing, will continue to lose and, at best, is being used by GOP-E to replace Trump with Lyin’ Ryan?

Einstein defined your behaviour as “insane stupidity”...not unlike leftist mind-numbed robots.”

Another classy post from a Trumpet, devoid of any facts, logic, or evidence. I thought we had turned the corner on such posts around here, and had returned to an intelligent, civil discussion forum. I guess not.

[A CA Guy]

That woman shortly after sold the place for far less than Trump offered.
So much for staying there I guess.

[just me]

""Deport them all. - Cruz supports this but will not let them come back through “touch back” amnesty like Trump.""

Did Cruz support this before or after he handed out teddy-bears?

[Savage Rider]

If you believe Hannity’s horse hockey about giving Cruz more time you have been bamboozled. He recites minutes of radio time and appearances on TV. Why doesn’t Hannity tell you minutes of TV time? Because then you would see how many minutes of prime time TV coverage he has given Trump.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Condescending arrogance.
At one time I backed this weasel.

[Lakeshark]

Cruz had a list first.

I do believe that's not true. In that regard, Cruz was all over the map much like you claim Trump was. It was only when those issues became popular, and became winning issues that Cruz then went full bore for them.

The plain fact is: It took the courage of Trump, his willingness to take the PC heat, and his perseverance to keep pushing these issues into the forefront of the political debate. Without him, and those qualities, they would be back bench discussions, and we would have a RINO as our front runner who would only pretend to like them.

It was that strength, demonstrated over and over again that made me switch from preferring Cruz, to preferring Trump.

Jeb is gone, long gone. Not going to happen.

[digger48]

We get more people than that at our local Drainage Board meetings.

[A CA Guy]

Cruz has the personality of a possum, he makes Hillary look vibrant.

My wife is liberal, they want Cruz and fear the appeal of Donald and that I’d factually true most places.

[tillacum]

I think I read an article on FR that some of cruz’s advisors served Jeb, first. I think I’ve heard that rove has spent quite a bit of money trying to discredit Donald Trump, and even gave some to cruz.
