"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. "
Every week there’s a new birther case thrown out, but you think the Democrats will have more luck?
They don’t have to. By using a very liberal tactic, you just did it for them.
Well, Cruz only has to win fifty-four percent of the remaining voters to get the delegates he needs. It is I will grant a very uphill battle, but not to far out of the realm of possibility.
Good men don’t dismiss a great conservative candidate in favor of one with a three paragraph resume, the personality of a used car salesman, and a life-long habit of lying for personal gain.
PA Maybe, it could be very close though.
Maybe AZ, although that one could be more of a stretch than PA
Secretariat was up by 7 lengths before the backstretch mile ... And Sham finished last ...
Fat pill-popping Rush hasn’t a clue
Good men know that when a candidate calls legalization part of "common sense" immigration reform, and then lies about ever saying it, that he isn't conservative and those pushing him are the dumbest of the dumb.
Cruz - Zero chance POTUS.
ZERO!
You can disagree with Rush without sounding like an idiotic, foul mouthed, nasty liberal.
Sorry bozo, but everything I wrote is utterly true. It's the slimeball liberals who think like tribalists.
Do you have proof that Cruz has taken bribes for political favors.
I have proof that Trump has given bribes, he said so in the first GOP debate in August.

54% is Trump; 87% is Fred... Stay awake student...
Rush is wrong. Yesterday’s end of poll Reuters rolling has trump at 49.7 with republicans
Ask the Cowboys from back in the day under Landry if a 14 deficit five minutes is possible. If your good enough, time sometimes doesn’t matter. lol
Duly noted. The analogy stands.
I’m not a huge Hannity fan, but he is absolutely destroying Rush on analysis on his radio show this time around.
George soros groups. Same deal.
You are a true a hole.
