“Cruzers actually think Rush is in the tank for Trump.”
************************************************************
Actually, most do not think that. Most, including me, think that Rush is trying very hard to stay neutral between Cruz & Trump.
I think anyone who believes Rush is neutral had not been listening.
Rush used to pump Trump constantly, enjoying the fun and always saying he likes Trump.
Then Rush stopped. He stopped talking much about Trump and began worshipping Cruz and Cruz’s chances.
Then Rush began doing long anti Trump dialogues.
He tried to be too clever and waited way too long to help Cruz. And it’s this cowardly sneaky cleverness that is so distasteful. Of course he never says any of this directly.
It’s not only a desire to appear neutral, it’s the constant game of always claiming he was right after he hid in a corner.
I got fed up when he went into a commercial with a smarmy bit about the “serious problem” surrounding Michelle Fields. He also said everyone hates Corey Lewandowsky.
On the day Lewandowsky was vindicated, Rush spun it that the whole thing was done by people who hate Lewandowsky. But that was quite a different way of saying it.
I agree with you. But neutral is not good enough for the trumpers.
“Rush is trying very hard to stay neutral between Cruz & Trump.”
From the transcripts I’ve read that is right. But just going over the comments at FR, it is clear that is unacceptable to many Trump supporters. For them, you are either for Trump, or you are for the GOP.
