8:13Now PlayingChuck Todd really challenged Ted Cruz’s grip on reality. Cruz contended that his campaign would be doing better if the media wasn’t biased towards Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola, and Jimmy Dore hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Want the perfect illustration of just how uncomfortable the prospect of Donald Trump as the presidential nominee makes many Republicans? Witness what happened on "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
Moderator Chuck Todd asked Ted Cruz a very simple question: "If [Trump is] the nominee, I take it you can't support him anymore, can you?" That's 14 total words.
Cruz spent 772 words responding to the question — Todd chimed in every once in a while to push the Texas senator — and never really got to an answer.
Cruz started off his "answer" by noting that he plans to beat Trump for the nomination. Which is a classic political pivot but is not even close to answering the question. Cruz then moves onto an argument where he eventually settles, which is that the media — as represented by Todd — would like him to give up the fight against Trump because that will ensure Hillary Clinton's election in the fall.”
