Fox News’ Bret Baier dedicated Monday night’s “Special Report” to one-on-one interviews with Ted Cruz and John Kasich, and while a good-natured Cruz took questions about his one-time “bromance” with Donald Trump in stride, Baier’s talk with Kasich was an altogether different animal.

Kasich was awfully prickly — downright hostile at times — in response to any suggestion he wasn’t on deck to win the GOP nomination.
Kasich full melt-down on Special Report right now.

@BretBaier @JohnKasich @tedcruz TY Bret Baier for trying to reason with Kasich. It is sad to see him be the obstructionist. =(

What did Baier say that made Kasich go full beastmode?
.@BretBaier to Kasich: Your supporters "don't get" how you're going to win
— Brian Phillips (@RealBPhil) March 21, 2016
Baier did bring up one particular speed bump along Kasich’s road to the White House by the name of Donald Trump, to which Kasich replied, “I get along with the Trump people just fine.”
Tonight on Special Report w/ Bret Baier Kasich is saying he believes Trump & Cruz supporters will rally around him as conv. picked GOP nom

@BretBaier @JohnKasich @tedcruz ***Question*** Ask Kasich why he hopes for a contested convention is not taking "The Low Road"
— Yoopers Ride Da U.P. (@Y00P3R_906) March 21, 2016
@BretBaier @JohnKasich @tedcruz Why does Gov. Kasich insist on gumming up the nomination process? His ego is hurting the party and country.
— Stonewall (@SnugDog22) March 21, 2016
@BretBaier @tedcruz @JohnKasich push kasich on why he thinks its ok to steal the nomination. Make him answer the question.
