Rush: Establishment Support of Cruz Means Conservatism is Winning
Conservative Review ^ | March 24, 2016

Posted on 03/24/2016 1:05:55 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

On Wednesday during his radio program Rush Limbaugh responded to a caller claiming Ted Cruz is not an outsider and is “buddying up” with the establishment.

Limbaugh clarified to the caller that Cruz is not the hypocrite – the establishment is.

Listen to the full clip here:

Below are some excerpts from the transcript:

RUSH: I just saw there's a caller on line calling me delusional?  

CALLER:  I think, sadly, what you all fail to realize is that perpetually you're painting Ted Cruz as an outsider.  He paints Ted Cruz as an outsider.  The Tea Party tried to paint him as an outsider.  Yet I'm gonna read you five names:  Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, Jeb exclamation, exclamation, exclamation point, Bush, Nikki Haley.  How much more insider can you get than this, okay?

RUSH: . . .This is the same stuff that happened with Reagan.  I have to tell you, Clay, it's exact same stuff that happened with Reagan.  They didn't like Reagan in '76. They didn't like Reagan in 1980.  They tried to stop Reagan in both campaigns. 

When Reagan won in 1980 they had no choice, and then when Reagan proved to be two landslides popular, all of those people that supposedly hated him couldn't wait to be standing next to him every time a photo was taken.  They were the hypocrites, not Reagan.  And Cruz is not the hypocrite here.  What's he supposed to do, stand up and say, "Sorry, Governor Bush, but I don't believe you.  I don't believe you really want me to win.  So I would appreciate it if you would endorse someone --" is that what you want him to do Clay?

Rush has become such a tool. It’s sad to see. At least he says he’ll vote for Trump if he’s the nominee...all the while doing everything he can to undermine the man every day for three hours, all the while claiming no bias.

It means they are pragmatists. Too little too late for Cruz I think.

With Trump winning it proves that Talk Radio and the Establishment are irrelevant.

Cruz is establishment ... member of the RNC “new guard” since 2012.

FLASHBACK:

http://triblive.com/news/2362888-74/romney-gov-speakers-republican-sen-convention-former-party-paul-ann

RNC to trot out new guard

Aug. 28, 2012

Tuesday’s main theme, “We Built That” — a reminder of Obama’s gaffe during a Virginia speech — will bring keynote speaker Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to the podium. Earlier, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell will focus on entrepreneurship.

(snip)

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who could energize Hispanic voters, will introduce Romney.

Lesser-known speakers during the week include Rafael “Ted” Cruz, a U.S. Senate candidate from Texas, and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who with Cruz represents a new generation of conservatives with Tea Party credentials.

(snip)

Among the convention’s best-known speakers are Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the party’s nominee in 2008, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and former presidential candidate and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

With Rubio, Christie, Martinez, McDonnell and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on the speakers’ list, it reads like a Who’s Who of rising Republicans — a changing of the guard, said Jeff Brauer, a political science professor at Keystone College.

Agree. I am for Trump because the GOPe establishment needs to be completely destroyed. Why let them hang around to f-up the gene pool like the did with Reagan. What Rush does not say is that Regan's 1st term was great, but by the second term the establishment leftovers had severely compromised and limited the revolution Reagan had started.

Reagan was the guy winning the primaries and getting the shaft from the media, Ted isn't and Rush knows that. He's making an absurd comparison to try an look like he's not kowtowing to the same GOPe machine that was damn glad to be shed of Reagan.

I see no evidence that Cruz is a “conservative”.
