Missed beginning of this because it came on earlier than expected. Very tense interview with Hannity. At one point Hannity accused him of being upset and he was also talking really fast.

Hannity radio interview:

On the delegate process  -

The Trump campaign does not know what they're doing. I cannot help that the Trump campaign is incapable of running a lemonade stand. Only the Trumpsters are asking these questions (about delegate process and perceived unfairness). Says Trump should stop whining.

We are winning election after election after election. 1.3 million people voted in those contest, referring to WY, CO, UT, etc. We're winning landslides everywhere, so now the Trump campaign is panicking. Every other presidential candidate knows how to figure this out. It's a Kim Kardashian reality show. Touts victories in GA.

Defends the process. Kind of lashes out at Hannity for asking the question about the delegate process. Says he's not asking about the issues. I don't care about Trump and the nonsense he wants to talk about.

Cruz goes on to say this is about winning elections and the grassroots supporters coming out. In Cleveland, we're going to unify a majority of the delegates.

On how to unite the party -

It's critical to unite the party and America. That is my number one focus - of uniting the party and the country. We've been endorsed by 5 presidential candidates. It's the full array of the Republican party coming together.
