I can't believe that Rush really said this, but there is the transcript. He is trying to artfully conceal the fact that he is a NeverTrumper, but he betrays himself in statements like this. Does Rush understand that he is undermining Trump with such talk? If he succeeds, does he understand that Hillary is the result?
I'm profoundly disappointed in Rush Limbaugh.
Not only did he say it, I heard it and shut him off....again. POS!
I’m not making any accusations, but the implications are clear enough for anyone to discern for themselves.
Does Rush have more clout during a Trump administration or a Clinton administration?
There-in lies the big dilemma.
During the Clinton years many people trashed Clinton. Then he left office and they swooned over his record and promoted Leftist policy stridently. So they weren’t anti-Leftists after all. They were merely disgusted with him to build credibility. Then many of them moved to MSNBC.
Rush stands out very well against a sitting Clinton. Afterwards he seems to be a fish out of water. He couldn’t come up with cutting edge stuff under Bush, and now with Trump he’s baffled again, how to react.
Rush has to many friends in the mainstream. He’s an RNC GOPe acolyte. What else is there to day.
The guy is failing Conservatism right now.
I’m a paid subscriber, so what can I say?
All of Rush's talk is unscripted and makes a lot of sense for extemporaneous utterings. I take this as a careless choice of words. I don't think for a moment he consders Trump a worse candidate than the Hildebeest.
