Rush is having to do some serious mental gymnastics to try and justify some of the other tangents that he has gone down lately. He is trying to protect his brand, but his credibility is starting to get stretched thin.
Trump with great vision identified the two biggest issues that we must correct to make America great again, to bring back jobs, and to prevent the world from sliding into thirdworld wages and lifestyle"

Anyone interested, just google the TPP agreement and you'll see where we're headed (NAFTA x 10) with other TPP-style agreements to follow. The list of things that ream out America is too long for a post. Please read it yourself, read of Cruz (both Mr. and Mrs.) involvement in it, in "free" trade", which is not free---another word they've co-opted and changed the meaning of. Same with "conservatism"---we've let them redefine "conservatism" to mean what really GLOBALISM means. And nationalism/patriotism they have defined as "phony conservative."
Hopefully, Trump will rekindle a new sense of patriotism and mutual or reciprocal loyalty. Absent that, it quickly becomes all about immediate--short term advantage--with no one considering the long term needs of a healthy community.
You do the math, how many man-hours do yo think it takes to build an iPhone? To make an entire car it averages 30 man-hours. So with an iPhone we are talking about something with way less individual assemblies and parts.
He spends so much time hobnobbing and golfing with the elites, he feels he has to go round and round instead of criticizing the globalism they exude.
Rush is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to committing to a candidate. The odds-on favorite is Trump. But he is far off the reservation from Rush’s brand of Conservatism.
But if he commits to someone else and they lose it will greatly damage his brand.

That’s right. Free means free.
This is really what Charles Murray gets at in his book “Coming Apart.” Having been a free trader all my life, it is worth SOME level of higher prices to have cities that aren’t hollowed out shells and to have jobs for people who aren’t Ph.D material.
No illeagals immigration and H1-Bs will.
Free trade is national suicide if you can’t reduce costs here at home and, in our current environment, you can’t.
And why can’t we reduce costs: big government (Marxism).
- economy killing regulations
- forced unionization
- forced socialist programs
- high taxes
- forced minimum wages
- war on capitalism
- war on industry
- open borders
- foreign labor
- globalism
If you can’t reduce costs, you can’t compete. You lose your manufacturing base, your heavy industry, your jobs, your economy, your freedom, your nation.
We already have government (mis)managing EVERYTHING. That’s the problem. Free trade by itself is not a magical solution. Getting government out of our lives, out of commercial enterprise and out of trying to control our economy would be a far better place to start.
LOL! A most excellent suggestion! Let's get the GOPe on this ASAP.
A lot of very ignorant people when told labor is 10 times more in the USA assume that you multiply the cost of a “widget” by ten to get to the retail price. So that is how you get the myth(lie) of $50 dollar Made in the USA pliers. Free Traitors™ take advantage of that stupidity.
Likable yes, but he is not one of us. Us meaning an unwashed prol patriot like myself.
Listen to all the “conservatives” supporting Apple using Chinese sweatshops to produce their overpriced gizmos.
Your absolute disregard for Chinese workers and your own fellow citizens is why “conservatism,” as it is defined by the GOPe/Cheap Labor Express, is held in such disrepute.
Leaving our towns and cities drowning in drug addiction and welfare dependency in the name of cheap consumer crap is NOT “conservativism” in any way shape or form.
He's become a shiftless, dumpy, intellectual stumble bum looking for love handouts from the NWO.
Rush tried to push Jeb, and that failed.
Then Rush tried to push Rubio and that is failing.
Rush will jump on the Romney train within 2 weeks, and it will fail too.
Romney is a loser.
Do you really think they could hire people in Detroit who could operate on the assembly line?
What would their labor costs be for every single person who would do everything they could to find “something” to sue Apple with?
I think encryption should be separated from the device manufacturers.
Secondly, the “backdoor” thing is because the iPhone has to store your passcode in one for or another so the iPhone can recognize when the proper passcode is typed in.
Here’s how to eliminate the iPhone-storing-your-passcode problem. Use the current passcode only for getting into the iPhone. The encryption of data can be done with a different passcode that doesn’t need to be stored in the iPhone.
