They were rude to Cruz too, didn’t even applaud at his opening like they did for everyone else’s.
Someone also mentioned cutting off the applause.
And I noticed a lot of the annoying TV-host habit of cutting off the last few words of what someone is saying. It gives you zero time to digest what they have said, and sometimes even obscures the last few words. Plus it is arrogant and rude and casts an opinion on what has just been said.
They think this gives the show a snappy, edgy flow, but all it does is prove what idiots they are.
