"The party has not lifted a finger to help him..."
Noting that Sen. Ted Cruz has waged a zealous, uphill campaign in the shadow of other candidates the headline writers have focused upon, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh admonished the oddsmakers Friday not to write off the Texan too soon.
Limbaugh was asked by a caller, "Do you think that Cruz still has an honest chance to win?"
"Yeah, I do," Limbaugh said as part of his reply. "I don't think it's anywhere near over yet."
Limbaugh noted that Cruz has been last in media publicity, but has soldiered on with a prodigious fund-raising ability and is a strong second to front-runner Donald Trump.
"Everybody wants you to believe one of two things: It's over, Cruz is not gonna get there, Trump is, and we're gonna go to a contested convention and it's gonna be between (Ohio Gov. John) Kasich and whoever else the establishment can throw up," Limbaugh said. "It still amazes me."
Limbaugh added, "And here, again, nobody's talking about Ted Cruz. And he's there every day, and he's out campaigning. He's going everywhere, and he is in second place despite all of the obstacles that have been put in his way. So I think he can win.
"He is hated by the establishment, and they are the ones that totally ignore him. The party has not lifted a finger to help him, and even now when they are starting to, they make it known that they're not happy to be doing it.
"He is being dwarfed and swamped by unprecedented coverage of Trump, who hasn't had to spend any money to get it. Nobody wants to talk about Ted Cruz. We're told over and over that everybody in the Senate hates him. We're told over and over everybody in Washington hates him. But yet he's in second place and he's won nine states. So you're asking me if I think Ted Cruz can win? Yeah, I do. I don't think it's anywhere near over yet. "
He has to win the east and west coast. He made a huge mistake attacking New York. In theory he could have got a plurality of New York at one point if enough of the most conservative people turned out.
Hush Bimbo needs to get back on the oxycotin and taking “stag party” trips to the Dominican Republic with mislabeled viagra pills and condoms. Mitt Romney, Graham, etc etc., have not only endorsed Cruz but are hooking him up with the rest of the GOPe fundraisers. The party hasn’t come out for Cruz? Rush is either stupid or is a liar and thinks his audience is stupid.
“Yeah, I do,” Limbaugh said as part of his reply. “I don’t think it’s anywhere near over yet.”
Rush is a liar, no one can win 87% of the delegates. He wants a ‘Brokered’ convention, and if he had a tenth of the brains, he constantly brags about, he would know the GOPe will not hand it to Cruz. As I said, Rush is a liar.
Cruz has to really up his game to win it AND Trump has to completely blow his to lose it. But miracles do happen.
Rush you are fighting for a guy Soros gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to, and a whole bunch of rino gopers now say they are backing.
It ain’t a coinckey-dink.
Time for the onslaught of Trump worshippers accusing Limbaugh of being establishment mouthpiece.
“Cruz has to really up his game to win it AND Trump has to completely blow his to lose it. But miracles do happen.”
Not possible to win 87% of the remaining delegates., Trump would have to be arrested on Rape charges, or something as odious. Not in this life.
George Soros has given money to Ted Cruz? How is that not a headline everywhere? Maybe because it never happened?
They’re already here.
Nor would the GOPe hand it to Kasich though they are playing him for the useful idiot atm and he is falling for it.
Rush now has all of his brain tied behind his back.
Bottom line is the mask has been pulled of him, too. He’s filthy rich from gaming the American people. That makes him part of the gopE.
When you can get Elton John to sing at your wedding, your THIRD wedding, and get a SC Justice to attend, you’re gopE.
AZ, NY, MD, DE, NJ, PA, CT, RI which state does Cruz win?
| What they should have asked Rush is: what are the odds of Cruz winning at this point? Believe me, Cruz is up at bat in the ninth inning with two outs, nobody on base and 5 runs down. But he certainly has a chance! And the longer the fight continues, the more advertising dollars the GOPe spends on the Rush Limbaugh show. And to say the race is over is make a lot of Cruz fans angry. |
Did you predict his Maine and Alaska wins?
Trump would have to be arrested on Rape charges, or something as odious.
Do not underestimate what a caged animal will do. They can put all kinds of things on his computer. And the NSA knows just as much about Trump as they know about anybody. Trump could be clean as a whistle but not when the NSA gets through with him.
“But wait !! There’s more !”
Ginsu Radio at its best..... my opinion.
“prodigious fund-raising” = “prodigious quid pro quo payback” = “what’s best for campaign donors, not what’s best for the peasants”
You know if it was anybody else but Trump in the lead, both the GOP and the media would be saying it's time for the other candidates to step aside and support the nominee.
Rush is simply wrong on this point. Cruz is now being used by the establishment like a cheap hooker to stop Trump.
