“Whatever you want to think... but it is pretty clear you are just believing what others are saying about him. Others who don’t get sarcasm either.”
I have listened to him plenty, and formed my own opinion: He is ultimately a creature of the establishment in his heart, not just in his wallet; he plays it canny and clever and close to the vest, so as not to alienate too much of his audience.
As far as sarcasm, I get it just fine; I also get selective sarcasm: It is what Limbaugh does and does not choose as his targets for sarcasm that show his hand. He has been far more sarcastic far more often about Trump supporters than about Cruz or Rubio supporters.
... or for that matter, about Romney supporters in 2012 - you know, the supporters of that severely conservative guy who created the template for communistic healthcare on the State level so that Comrade Obama wouldn’t have to work too hard (’cause he hates to work) to destroy one-sixth of the national economy through Federal usurpation?
If there has been anyone that Rush should have lampooned on the air, it was the Rat-king, Willard. I never once heard him satirize or trivialize Romney the way he has done to the real capitalist, Trump.
