Rush joined the “birther” attacks on anyone who wanted the Constitution upheld.
He has also carried the water for plenty of Cheap Labor Express stooges like Micro Rubio.

Back in the dark days after 9/11 I discovered Savage and was a big fan for a short while. Then I discovered The Great One. Think the NYT would even acknowledge Savage’s existence were he not attacking President Trump? No way! This is a desperate try by Dr Savage for relevancy.

But what is the alternative to Trump?! There is none.

There simply is no other alternative to Trump.

Certainly not in 2020. The last thing we need is a 2020 primary fight. Any supposed Republican who even thinks about it should be tarred and feathered. The democRATs should all be tarred and feathered on general principles; they're all worthless communists.

MS is a jealous little twerp who, instead of going after all the commies on the left, singles out Trump. He’s nuts. And, yes, Trump is our only chance.

*********************************************************

I suppose he’s one of those, like so many of the rest of us, who believe Trump has the powers of an emperor and can just handwavium into existence whatever he chooses whenever he chooses. And, therefore, since it isn’t in existence, it must be because emperor Trump doesn’t wish it to be.

If you say it as “Ueener” instead of “Viner”, it means you don’t know or don’t care about the correct pronunciation of central European surnames.

That’s a very odd cartoon there. I would never have thought to place this dialog in that physical setting.
The presentation is eye catching and well done, though.

Savage is a publicity hound and in his business there is no such thing as there being a down side with the NYT if he criticized Trump.

Any “Conservative” can immediately have a big audience with the lib media if he wants to speak ill of this president

He is not a demigod.

He simply tends to be the smartest adult in most rooms he
finds himself in.

Savage’s career is in a tailspin. He was doing fine in the evenings (in most markets), then took some bad advice from Lew Dickey, former head of Cumulus Broadcasting, which owns WABC and a number of stations that aired Savage for years. Dickey convinced Savage to move his show to afternoon drive and compete with Sean Hannity. Savage agreed, and bombed—badly. Not only did he fail to dent Hannity’s drive-time dominance among syndicated hosts, his former evening slot began to be filled with more stations switching to Mark Levin, or picking up new hosts like Buck Sexton.

By the time the “afternoon” experiment was over, Savage was in a bind. Few stations wanted him in PM drive, and most had found a quality replacement for his former evening slot. Last I heard, he has a one-hour daily broadcast show and a podcast. And having worked in broadcasting, I can tell you that few program directors want a one-hour show; doesn’t fill up much of the schedule and by the time the host and callers get rolling on a topic, it’s time to sign-off.

Hope Savage’s writing career is going well (and it apparently is). His radio days are slowly coming to an end.

One more thing: Savage has always been jealous that he was never a part of the conservative host “club.” Rush, Hannity, Levin, Neal Boortz (now retired) and others have long been friends off the air. Hannity and Levin were guests at Rush’s last wedding; Limbaugh inducted Boortz into the Radio Hall of Fame a few years ago. Savage never made it into that circle, one reason he used to refer to the others by various nicknames.

".... Any “Conservative” can immediately have a big audience with the lib media if he wants to speak ill of this president...."

How do you think McCain became known as the "Maverick"?

It was because he was willing to denigrate and backstab his own party and leaders at the drop of a hat.

The Leftwing media loved him.

I hated him.

I’ll ask you the same question I have asked everyone else who is said Trump is not keeping his promise about the border wall or stopping illegal immigration. Here is the question, precisely and exactly what would you have the president do which is within the law which would accomplish any more than he has already without being blocked by the courts over which he has little or no control.

To date no one has given anything close to a satisfactory answer. It is so easy to point to something like this and say well he said he was going to do it and he hasn’t done it and no matter what the circumstances are he is guilty of failing to keep a promise. And you sound like one of those we’re going to go down the same road.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. This is all about jealousy. Nothing more. Savage wishes his audience still hung on his every word. Now that this movement has a REAL leader, there’s less need for phony leaders like Savage.
