The writer of the article doesn’t get Rush. You apparantly don’t get him either. Rush has never endorsed any candidate. I’ve been listening to him since 1987 and I don’t understand why the writer is claiming hypocracy.
Trump may be the liberal you claim but all I’ve ever heard Rush say about Trump is how he doesn’t let the media frighten him nor does he seem to worry about PC. I’ve not heard Rush endorse Trump at all. There’s things he admires about Trump, but I don’t necessarily consider that an endorsement. Rush has mentioned the well known fact that Trump has violated all the political wisdom of the establishment GOP and the political pundits - yet is still leading the other candidates. That is not an “endorsement” either.
As to Trump being “vague” when it comes to specifically HOW he will fix certain problems, well, all of the candidates are pretty vague when it comes to that- but, I don’t see that with Trump when it comes to immigration. He’s pretty clear about what he wants to do. The Hill article says Trump will always be in “campaign” mode and never get to specifics. Well, Trump IS in a presidential campaign and has never been president before, so I think it is unfair to presume that he will remain in campaign mode after he’s elected (assuming he wins). That criticism doesn’t even make sense at this point.
Rush has pointed out how Obama always acts like he’s never been in office the past 7 years in his perpetual campaigning against problems that he has contributed to or ignored. How can the writer criticize Trump about that when he’s not even president yet?
Anyway. The writer, for all his claims of being a Rush listener for several years, sounds like he really has never listened to Rush during a presidential campaign season.
Thank you for comment on the article.
I too have been a Rush listener (since 1990) so I do “get” Rush.
Trump needs to be judged by his past associations and his stated policy positions. When you assess that, it’s undeniable that he’s a liberal.
You can believe what you will, from what Trump says now, but where is your proof that that man who has contributed to the Democratic Party Leadership (Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton, etc), who said Hillary was a wonderful Sec. of State (along with praise for her husband), that that Trump is your leader in shining armor?
I hardly think that Trump supporters turn on Rush to hear about the media being flummoxed by Trump, but rather to hear Rush’s non-stop campaign for him.
Second the thoughts. Listen to Rush everyday and never heard him endorsed anyone. Does he talk about Trump a lot? Yes because Trump is the the news of lately of how the media, GOP and Democrats are all united to take him down
