While we’re on the subject of lost viewers/listeners, let’s take a look at what’s happened to Beck’s theblaze.com.

Now that the Republican Primary is drawing to a close, this party needs unity. Most of us Trump supporters would have voted for Ted early on but as time went on opinions changed. What is important now is defeating Hillary Clinton. If we ALL focus our efforts on that task, we will all benefit.
I heard him read a letter in a very sarcastic way from a Cruz supporter that will vote for Trump.
I’ve been bored listening to him lately; he seems angry.
What was done to Cruz?
I think Cruz did himself in, with his dirty politics.
“If Rush predicts Trump will beat Hillary in a landslide, why didn’t he say that a month ago?”
excellent question
Very well stated!
“Sanders, unlikely as it may seem, still has a shot.”
Sanders is obviously staying in because he’s listening to the birdies as well. I put Hillary now at 50/50 going down. Ditto with Reid wink wink.
..because he needed to win the nomination first?
Noooo, I listened today out of a pure sense of schadenfreude and wasnt disappointed. Rush was quite rattled and sounded like he’d had a rough 24 hours.
Though I get the feeling he’ll come around unlike Levin who sounded like he was ready for a straightjacket. Mark should be under 24/7 suicide watch along with Beck.

Rush Limbaugh has a bloodhound's sense of smell. If there are gold doubloons out there to be had, he can sniff 'em 5 miles away. But Trump had no gold doubloons to give. Cruz and his GOPe funders had plenty and so Cruz was rewarded with all sorts of undeserved praise for how "consistently conservative" he was and other such nonsense. Praise was also overflowing for the Amnesty Boy and his accomplices because -- once again -- they came to the gatekeeper with many Golden Sacks in their hands. Maybe if Trump was less frugal with his advertising dollars, he could have earned an "authentic conservative" ribbon :- ) We'll never know. |

But Trump wasn't interested in paying off the trolls who live under Conservative Bridge. Instead he hired Huck Finn and his friends to commandeer a raft to cross the river. Trump appealed directly to the people and to winners who didn't expect doubloons for their support: Bobby Knight, Sarah Palin, Jeff Sessions, Jerry Falwell, Bill Mitchell, the Black Pastors, and many more. The irony is that here is one of the wealthiest men in the world, and yet he is one of us and is not afraid to sacrifice immensely to accomplish his noble mission. Emerson had some words to describe such virtue: The temperance of the hero proceeds from the same wish to do no dishonor to the worthiness he has. But he loves it for its elegancy, not for its austerity. It seems not worth his while to be solemn, and denounce with bitterness flesh-eating or wine-drinking, the use of tobacco, or opium, or tea, or silk, or gold. A great man scarcely knows how he dines, how he dresses; but without railing or precision, his living is natural and poetic. John Eliot, the Indian Apostle, drank water, and said of wine, -- "It is a noble, generous liquor, and we should be humbly thankful for it, but, as I remember, water was made before it." Better still is the temperance of King David, who poured out on the ground unto the Lord the water which three of his warriors had brought him to drink, at the peril of their lives. The heroic soul does not sell its justice and its nobleness. It does not ask to dine nicely, and to sleep warm. The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough. Poverty is its ornament. It does not need plenty, and can very well abide its loss. |
Hillary would have to be tried and convicted in order to be pardoned. Not going to happen.
Obama’s win in 2012 warned me never to underestimate the stupidity of American voters, so I know Hillary can win. I think Trump’s odds are better because the economic situation on the ground is much worse than even four years ago (and the Democrat candidate won’t be allowed to tarnish Obama’s fake legacy by admitting that).
Dems would be better off with a younger fresh candidate who had no links to the disasters of the last eight years; I still believe Hillary will drop out (even if she wins the nomination) because there is real fear on the left that she is too unlikeable/untrustworthy to many people IN THEIR OWN PARTY. That was why Dems picked the Kenyan Pirate over her in 2008, and her reputation has hardly improved since then.
Trump will not mince words (very publicly) in dealing with her; starting out with “Crooked Hillary” sets a great tone already.
HIllary is the weakest candidate possible. The empress with no clothes. Trump is the most aggressive, competitive candidate in decades if not ever. It won’t even be close.
He's got the kind of momentum that could well jump the gap between the Primaries and the General....
All eyes on Hillary....
That’s been my gut for quite a while now.
My Gut: Trump Beats Hillary in Landslide.

Rush is shameless.
He fought Trump as hard as he could now he is brown nosing Trump supporters and saying Trump in a landslide.
Why didn’t he say Cruz in a landslide?
All of a sudden he is all in for Trump. I’ve stopped listening to Rush.
BTW, I do believe Trump in a landslide too.
This is just too damn funny. The 70 million a year alleged guru of all things conservative gets richer and richer explicating and elucidating the OBVIOUS. This after having boosted and slobbered over Cruz, and his daily trashing of not only Trump, but his long time devoted listeners as well. I figure Rush will lose between 3 to 5 million listeners over his disgraceful behavior. I still believe some GOP Daddy Warbucks must have promised Rush that he could buy a 1/2 interest in an NFL franchise. Noting else makes sense for his suicidal behavior.
Who is this Rush that you speak of?
He’s been erased from my memory ;-)
