Donald Trump isn’t the only person tearing a rift in the Republican party. While much attention has been focused on the war between Trump’s supporters and the #NeverTrump crowd, less attention has been paid to Ted Cruz’s similar inability to unite the party.
Given the Senator’s consistently conservative record, few likely predicted that the Texas Senator would be fending off attacks from the party’s far right — yet that’s precisely what’s happening. The latest example of this lack of camaraderie between Cruz and the conservative base comes from an interview with right-wing media host Sean Hannity.
When Cruz dodged Hannity’s question about the confusing primary process, Hannity launched into an angry rant against the second-place GOP contender that likely surprised many, given the media personality’s consistently conservative leanings.
Donald Trump may not be building any bridges with the party establishment, but Cruz is having trouble courting even his base.

TRUMP is only showing the corruption that is rampant everywhere.. Cruz is part of the corruption.
I heard this. Cruz sounded like a political hack…same old tired answer-avoiding monologue. Leads one to believe he didn’t want to answer the question!
How can something be a voterless election? If you don’t have voters, it’s not an election:) Anyway, STUMP FOR TRUMP!
Get over it hanity.
Funny Sean, I NEVER hear you get frustrated or angry at Trump who has YET to give a substantive answer about his policies and what he’s going to do, his plans for America. It’s all platitudes, generalities. You may as well say you’re supporting him. If you are supporting Cruz then shame on you for not saying it. If your job is on the line, so be it. Man up, quit straddling the fence. All that will get you is a groin pull. This election is too important to be silent. America hangs in the balance here, and you know it. So many people like to be lead, so lead them in the only conservative direction. You know Trump. You know who he is, what he is, what he’s believed. There are multitudes of clips on what he thinks and would like to do. He’s got a totalitarian complex. Perhaps you are controlled by FOX, the Trump News Network/super PAC
Definitely pooey!

Then, Hannity, why do you keep having him as a guest? Stupid is as stupid does.
