Hannity asked Priebus if he thought Republican voters would feel “outright anger, frustration, and a sense of betrayal” if Trump had a 400 delegate lead but was not given the nomination.
Priebus deflected the question, referring to previous brokered conventions.
“In your opinion as the state chairman that the nominee of your party are you confident tonight will be either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz? Are you confident?” asked Hannity.
“This is what I’ll say, I think the nominee will be someone who’s running,” responded Priebus.
The GOP will ensure that the RULES Committee changes Rule 40 so as to enable Kasich to be the GOP nominee in a contested/brokered convention in July. And Priebus knows it,” commented Katherine Park.
“Hannity was stunned… and ticked off. We should be too. This primary election process is a farce.”
Priebus prompted controversy after a separate interview with Charlie Sykes on 620AM in Wisconsin during which the RNC Chairman scolded Trump supporters unhappy at the prospect of a brokered convention.
“By the way, this is a nomination for the Republican Party,” Priebus told Sykes. “If you don’t like the party, then sit down. The party is choosing a nominee.”
After Cruz’s win in Wisconsin, the Trump campaign accused the Texas Senator of illegally colluding with his own Super PACs in an effort to steal the nomination from Trump.
