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.
At that time, Cruz had 180 minutes on his radio show and Trump had 120 minutes.

You bring up Trumps time on O’Blowhard when that wasn’t the topic at hand.
It’s been widely reported that Cruz turns down media availability. This is just a Cruz talking point distraction. Nothing more.
You are right. Different tactics for different places.
May the best man win for America’s sake.
Hannity was very polite, not hostile. Ted was a tool.
Cruz’s melt down is all over the media now. Cruz just went from having a bad day to an awful day.
Go and get drunk with Cruz. Two drunks like you and Cruz can bash New York all night.
Cruz must want Hannity to imitate Beck and Levin, but Hannity won’t....
Your above citation is misleading. All Wyoming registered Republicans were eligible to participate in the precinct caucuses, to choose their precinct delegates, and many thousands of Wyoming registered republicans did exactly that.
You obviously don’t know what “very polite” means so your credibility on the subject is a little more than just suspect. But nice try at changing the subject.
Actually that's not true. Hannity gave the breakdown on his radio show the other day. It includes both radio and TV time. He also has the info posted on his website.
What about “and let me be perfectly clear....”....or “I would note”.......
Just an observation. Trump ran with and donated to some pretty notable Democrats, including her hindness herself. I don't see him spending his time disavowing every goon he has rubbed elbows with. Why the Yuuuge preoccupation with Cruz not throwing everyone under the bus? Even in cases where he said he had nothing to do with things, that wasn't sufficient, even though in plain English he said he had nothing to do with it (a disavowal).
I have asked this before, but never have received an adequate response. What level of theatrics is necessary before you consider the actions/behaviour/person of someone or thing adequately "disavowed"?
Apparently, a calm dismissal is not sufficient. Would screaming and pounding a podium somewhere be sufficient? Does the candidate have to use gutter language, too? Does it require a cartwheeling sh*tfit on national television?
Or are we adults here who can understand English and deal with the concept that simply saying "I didn't do it" is enough?
Is deplorement necessary also, not just disavowing something?
Last, if someone you have known for a long time goes off the rails or hits a rough streak, do you distance yourself from them? abandon them? Publicly decry them? Ridicule them?
If so, you aren't much of a friend.
Now you’re, not your, just projecting.
It’s about to get a LOT MORE AWFUL.
Drink in hand, I now go to watch the results of the vote in NY. My hubby and I voted Trump today. The neighbors on either side of us voted Trump. The Priest and his family voted Trump - and said that in the next town over (where he lives) the line for Republican was quite long, bit the Dem line only had one person show up in the 25 minutes he was waiting to vote. I don’t know of a single person who was going to even consider Cruz.
Upstate, NY.
Good! Cruz deserves it!
How is the “base” not people? Are they alligators? Sorry that the “base” doesn’t support your candidate, but that’s how things go sometimes when a candidate thinks he can bluster and bully his way through life.
Sorry, the base is not those GOP hobbyists in CO who selected ROMNEY Retread delegates to “support” Cruz.
The real grassroots base is the millions of primary voters. 1.1 million alone in my state who voted TRUMP. Every county but one. Rich, lower income and middle class. All Trump.
Trump has the voters, nobody else does. Nothing two faced Ted Cruz does will change that fact. No Trump voters, no GOP.
The owner of this website has indicated that Ted is a traitor to the cause. And he was spot-on when he said it.
Hannity was right to tell him to shut up today the man is a disgrace.
Ted’s bologna Ends Tonight.
He’s going to get to see for the next 3 or 4 weeks what a real winning streak actually looks like when it runs him over on the way to Cleveland.
A bill that was not going to pass but gave him cover with conservatives. Not the first time Cruz played that game.
Would you like the link to the article that covers Trump's 100 biggest lies? I'm sure I can find it if you are not familiar with it.
That isn't his name.
(Hint: that ain’t principled in the slightest.)
Wow. An a in grammar. Now get away you drink. You are wasting time.
Sorry, I think for myself.
