Agreed, he’s desperate.
Cruz had a valid point about Hannity’s question and he did answer it. The answer went over Hannity’s head.
Cruz’s point was why should the media, (guys like Hannity) pick up stories manufactured by Trump and use them as talking points without really checking their validity.
Cruz was clear in saying Trump is upset because he’s lost a few states, and made up an excuse that the media (including Hannity) have bought into without any real attempt to check it out.
So he did not want to talk about Trumps manufactured talking point.
You may not agree with that point of view, but to sat Cruz had no answer is just nonsense. He answered it. I heard him answer it.
Hannity was the one with the problem. Too besotted by a NY liberal to even listen to Cruz’s answer.
