Is Rush Promoting Trump to Build up his Sagging Audience?
September 4, 2015 | Vanity

Posted on 09/05/2015 4:15:09 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

I've been trying to figure out why Rush is doing daily Trump clean up exercises (latest was his Friday deconstruction and then reframing of Trump's less than stellar performance on Hugh Hewitt's show), along with his breathless cheerleading; it's not the Rush Limbaugh Show anymore, it has become the The Donald Show.

Then this morning I read that Megachurch Pastor Paula White has married her 3rd husband (she's his 4th) = 6 marriages. I'd looked her up because she's a good friend of Donald Trump (promotes his books and he promotes her) who is going to arrange a sit down with Trump and other evangelical leaders.

So, it dawns on me this is a mutual promotion society we're watching.

Limbaugh's EIB audience (reportedly) has been shrinking recently, so what better way to build it back up with some new blood than by jumping on the Trump wave?

Trump tweets that Rush is talking about him and Rush reports that Trump is tweeting about him and they're off to the piggy bank races.

I see it the other way around. Both are important. If we don’t stop the illegal immigration, we will never get rid of Obamacare because democrats will always win the elections.

(((It’s called bribery.)))

It”s called a campaign donation which is legal, bribery is illegal, surely you know the difference. Then again if you call a campaign donation bribery you obviously don’t.

What is it about Donald Trump that he causes people to completely lose their minds over him?

It is astonishing....and there are people who have taken leave of their senses on both sides of the Trump debate too. The GOP e is just reacting as I'd expect....the difference is, I never thought I'd see this from the base.

Seems to me that about 80% of people on both sides have lost their minds vis a vis Trump.

If Rush would..... stop taking calls (his conversations with callers is an embarrassing train wreck with the loss of hearing), he might get a few listeners back..... says a guy with a decade of 24/7 under his belt.

Very interesting and astute point. When he lost his hearing, he started to have his screeners look for only certain points of view - because he did lose his ability to react and roll with the caller. It became much more formulaic. And yes, i had very inside access for three years plus.
