Sean Hannity is running a Mueller Madness bracket and has no idea how brackets work
There's only one path to total collusion delusion glory, and Sean Hannity is leading the way.
The Fox News host launched what he's calling a "collusion delusion bracket challenge," best described as his quest to find out which President Trump opponents committed the biggest media blunders since Inauguration Day, Hannity staffers wrote on his website. "The worst" blunderer will be determined in a "championship game played in a DC martini bar officiated by Wolf Blitzer" — and you can play along.
The bracket itself was actually created by the New York Post, and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted out a distorted picture of it Monday night. It compiles 32 "media blunderers" from network TV, cable TV, Twitterati, and print conferences — though Hannity isn't actually letting you imagine a Rachel Maddow-Kathy Griffin faceoff.

Instead of choosing a winner by votes or some other unbiased election format, Hannity just wants you to guess how he filled out his mystery bracket. Match the most picks with Hannity, and you could win such epic prizes as T-shirts, polo shirts, or survival bands (bracelets).
You'll probably need to use Sanders' squished copy of the bracket, seeing as the downloadable version Hannity shared on his website is approximately 50 pixels wide.
