I disagree with the premise.

Rush was a rare talent. Having several commentators in the Conservative sphere is not hurting us.

I particularly like Dan Bongino, who has an excellent command of the facts both on firearms and federal law enforcement.

Those were weak areas for Rush.

I miss Rush terribly. I haven’t listened to talk radio since he passed.

Clay & Buck are alright and do a good job but i find myself yelling at them couple times a week. With Rush, i never did. He was the best.

I would say Rush planted, and gave example of success.

It is quite Possible that his era was necessary formation for many the future generation of conservatives.

Hard to tell yet, because these things are seen by the fruits.

bonging is the closest thing to a Rush we have right now. He cultivates his thesis on a daily basis. Clay and Buck dont really have much of a thesis. They just chat.

Clay and Buck are difficult to listen to. They conduct themselves like they are on sports radio.

They are still a good source of news though.

For the last week or so he has been slowly and methodically laying out the evidence about Ukraine, China, and the sellout of our elected officials for financial gain.

The only other source I've seen that rivals his information is at the Conservative Treehouse.

We're in uncharted territory.

It's the same with me. I haven't turned on the radio since the day he died.

Rush Limbaugh was the kind of talent that comes along only once in a century. He was that mixture of Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain. He's irreplaceable.

The gift that Rush left behind is millions of us who can see the stiches on a fast ball.

Although I know that Rush can never be replaced I ask about Dr Steve Turley?

I have been watching his videos on You Tube and he seems loke a rational voice worth hearing?

What say others?

Looking at the state of affairs in the U.S., where in hell have these “Conservatives” been for 40+ years?

Beside trying to undermine, compromise and overthrow Trump, what have they done?

I think a lot of the conservative media went slack not long after Rush left, and it could be because they don’t necessarily want to have to listen to a voice like his. What they have now is nothing but their own instincts and intuitions, and without Rush’s great guidance, they know they’re on their own. Not only is he gone too soon, but his influence may also have gone too soon as well.

I started listening to Rush when he was a local show on KFBK in Sacramento. Scrolling through the wasteland that was the AM dial one day that booming, confident voice grabbed me immediately. He was sooo funny, his show was something like Firesign Theater for conservatives.
He changed AM radio. Conservative talk radio became a more widespread format for a lot of stations after he showed the way.
Maybe what I liked best about him is that he loved radio. He loved the work.
And he knew what all the radio greats know, no matter how large the audience, for the listener, it’s a one-on-one experience. Whoever is behind the mic is talking only to you.

There are 523 pages of his podcasts/archives on his website. It’s takes too long to go back to the oldest. I’d love to listen to them when I’m in the old folks home with nothing to do. No flash drives for sale at the website.

I barely tolerate those two.

Rush engaged in real conversation with his callers. Clay and Buck give 15 seconds to a caller and then give their predictable opinion. They are like a broken record covering the same subjects and uttering the same words to fill three hours with their tedium.

They like to hear themselves talk and woefully lack the wit and talent of Rush.

We still have Mitch as the GOP leader in the Senate. Fox, National Review and the Wall Street Journal still hate real conservatives.
