Rush Limbaugh is a hypocrite when it comes to Trump

I listen to Rush for his take on the news of the day. Trump is in the news most days and therefore Rush comments on what is going on at that time. I just don't hear that as endorsing Trump.

Bump. I read Rush's booming Trump the same way, viz., that Rush is enthusiastic about the way Trump deals with and neutralizes the filtering efforts of the MSM.

I don't see Rush's comments on Trump as an explicit endorsement of Trump, and I do see them as evidence of his admiration of Trump's method and political style, which, let's remember, has something of Reagan about it. Although Reagan didn't challenge and mock people directly as Trump does.

If Cruz or Carly Fiorina (to pick a pair of dissimilar Republicans) were to start campaigning in the Reagan or Trump style, I'm sure Rush would be as pumped about them as he is now about Trump. That's because the MSM have been the biggest enemies a conservative could have, this side of the Kremlin wall, during the last 75 years.

And by the way, truth in advocacy, I'm still for Ted Cruz, with a caveat on his immigration stance; I haven't heard yet the right things from him.

Coda: Re Dr. Sivana's "correcollection" of a Rush endorsement back in the day, Rush's explicit endorsement will not have worked on Manor Bush, who have spent a lifetime, especially Poppy and Babs, ignoring inconvenient people, esp. people like Rush who lack college degrees never mind Yale, and so Poppy will have gone out of his way to, like the Bourbons, avoid learning anything from his social lessers.

So Rush could have saved his breath back in 1992.

Just saying.

Trump has changed the game AND the tactics for every Republican candidate smart enough to listen — and that includes the best candidate in the lineup — the anti-establishment Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz. But if Trump is the nominee he gets my nod.

Exactamundo. Absolutely nothing else needs to be said.

I get 3 podcasts a day...each one is around 30 minutes long.

I know how you can save an hour and a half every day.

Perry would have sealed the border.

Would that be before or after the Trans Texas Corridor?

There was almost total TX legislature consensus on tuition for children of illegals - it was veto proof.

Then the smart play would have been to come out against it. Win, Win.
