RUSH: Look, look, I keep getting emails. I know all of this is alienating voters. That's why I say, there are consequences to this. If Cruz were to pull this off, man, the explosion that would take place....
CALLER: I think what Cruz has done in the Senate is what he's doing now: He characterizes and patronizes those who disagree with him. He's very Obama-like in that regard. That is to say, Ted Cruz, who can't give a greeting without making it sound like the Gettysburg Address, has a way of offering these incredibly conclusive statements --
RUSH: (laughing) Wait a minute.
CALLER: They're not conclusive at all.
RUSH: Wait a minute. He can't make a greeting without it sounding like the Gettysburg address? Is that what you said?
CALLER: If you go to any collegiate book on debating, he was very good as a college debater, I won't go into my background, but I've taught some of the teachers who regard him so highly.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: Look, the college debating book tells you that it works something like this: Rush, there's something very important that you must listen to, pause, pause, are you on the edge of your seat yet? And I'm only going to say this, once. Pause, pause. Good morning.
RUSH: (laughing) Yes, I know what you're talking about...

I had to turn Limbaugh off he spends half of every day “explaining”why it’s perfectly ok to steal Trump’s delegates and we are all just so tragically dumb and don’t understand?
According to Rush it’s just fine if a Trump delegate is a Cruz delegate because hey that only affects the second ballot.
We’re not that stupid Rush! And even if Trump wins why would I want a bunch of loser a Cruz delegates running the convention?
Limbaugh has become a real jackass.
Why are you bashing Rush? Rush has done million times more to the conservative principles than you or you guy have ever done.
The caller’s imitation of Cruz’ speaking style was hilarious.
“Rush has done million times more to the conservative principles..... “
he sure has don’t more TO them than.....
I just told you why. And I am a free citizen Rush Limbaugh doesn’t own me. I don’t let anybody feed me a bag of warm brownies and tell me it’s ice cream. Rush Limbaugh can climb a tree for all I care.
Great post, monk.
Very entertaining caller! Excellent exchange. Rush was totally disarmed by the perfectly seamless argument he heard, and clearly got it, understood exactly and agreed outright, by saying so.
That was good for Rush, who needs to rally his audience back.
Yeah, but wah! He doesn’t support Trump in lock-step, or should I say goose-step, with the other comrades!
Peoplpe need to get over themselves and quit the hero-worship of Trump. It is very unbecoming.
The caller’s imitation of Cruz’ speaking style was hilarious.
It sounds hilarious just from reading the transcript. I can only imagine how good it was LIVE.
untrusTED’s speaking gets on my nerves more than 0blama’s snaky S’s.
Rush has done million times more to the conservative principles than you or you guy have ever done.

Let’s see, on Rush’s watch: Bill Clinton was impeached, but acquitted. George W. Bush started the destabilization of the Middle East, and started us down the road to perdition with the Patriot Act. “Operation Chaos” focused on keeping Hillary in the race, instead of exposing Obama. Then there was John McCain, and Mitt Romney. Obamacare was passed. Immigration Amnesty became an Executive Action.
I was fooled like many into accepting conservative talk, instead of expecting conservative action. Now we have the one guy who can actually advance the conservative agenda, for real, and Rush is trying to be “fair” to all the candidates, and explain or excuse the actions of the establishment.
If my Rush 24/7 subscription weren’t paid up through 2026, I would cancel it! Maybe after Trump wins Rush will come to his senses. We will see.
All these people do is whine about Rush and Levin — the giants of modern conservatism. The pretender politicians and snake oil salesmen have come and gone, but Rush and Levin have stayed strong and consistent.
Rush. That feeling when your bogey and mind separate.
Limbaugh spends half of every day “explaining”why it’s perfectly ok to steal Trump’s delegates ///
You’re right - the first hour was all I could take - had to turn it off
I believe he thinks Trump will get robbed of the nomination - he’s trying to lay the groundwork so nobody gets surprised
He’s afraid that the Trump folks will stay home in that case
He’s buttering them up for the big sale-
You can demean people’s reactions to what these hosts are saying as whining if it makes you feel better, but we don’t like what we are hearing form them, so many of us have shut them off, which is perfectly within our rights.
Some of us do not want to go to the contested convention that they seem intent on bringing us to.
Ted Cruz is not worth it. In fact, he isn’t worth anything.
He's done that, but at least he's spreading the word about what will happen if the delegate stealing succeeds. A total disaster for the GOP. He's not blowing smoke about how we'll all unify around Cruz, Kasich or some other chump they dig up at the convention.
Read between the lines. Limbaugh's message as of this week is: A contested convention is suicide. It's Trump or Hillary. Choose.
I can’t say I’m disappointed with him because I tried listening to Limbaugh when I was gutting and remodeling a commercial property years ago. Before I discovered FR.
I have also tried golf at various stages of my life. Neither Rush nor/or golf stuck with me, but my wife thinks Jim Thompson and FR are using mind control on me.
Yeah, like the GOP the radio guys can come with us or not as far as I’m concerned. But we’re driving.
Besides doing a sleep over at a Bush White House, what has El Rusho done for America as a country, but provide lip service and praised the politically well connected like the Bush dynasty?
I have stopped listening to rush for some time now and was on a trip so I turned him on.turned him off today after about 10 minutes as well and for the same reason.Sure seems he is reading FR a lot as well.
