Rush always chuckled that he couldn’t take the pay cut. What a phony jerk. I used to laugh at his jokes thinking they were all tongue in cheek. Nope. He’s a selfish bastard. Trump thought long and hard and decided to risk it all and go for it.

Trump once said he told Chuck Shumer, who was trying to talk him out of running, "I gotta do what I gotta do." Unlike Rush, Trump took the direction of his higher angels and not his bottom line.

That is exactly when I broke up with Rush. When he couldn’t successfully defend the NYT charge that he did Schumer’s bidding behind our backs, while calling him Chuck U Schumer to our faces. He even dared call us haters. I was so hoping he’d come on the air that day and prove that the NYT was all lies. He did not and apparently could not. HE was caught in a lie but he came on with a nasty, defensive attitude. BOOM. Like Levin it was proof he’d been phony all along. Really sad. These guys meant a lot to us. They abused that trust. Hope the $ was worth it.
