Is Rush Promoting Trump to Build up his Sagging Audience?
September 4, 2015 | Vanity

Posted on 09/05/2015 4:15:09 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

I've been trying to figure out why Rush is doing daily Trump clean up exercises (latest was his Friday deconstruction and then reframing of Trump's less than stellar performance on Hugh Hewitt's show), along with his breathless cheerleading; it's not the Rush Limbaugh Show anymore, it has become the The Donald Show.

Then this morning I read that Megachurch Pastor Paula White has married her 3rd husband (she's his 4th) = 6 marriages. I'd looked her up because she's a good friend of Donald Trump (promotes his books and he promotes her) who is going to arrange a sit down with Trump and other evangelical leaders.

So, it dawns on me this is a mutual promotion society we're watching.

Limbaugh's EIB audience (reportedly) has been shrinking recently, so what better way to build it back up with some new blood than by jumping on the Trump wave?

Trump tweets that Rush is talking about him and Rush reports that Trump is tweeting about him and they're off to the piggy bank races.

I can’t speculate. I’ve grown too weary of the Rush Commercialbaugh Show.

(((So you agree that building an audience is Rush’s objective?)))

If your in business building your customer base is always your objective, that’s how we stay in business.

This is a new low. As disappointed as I am with Trump on the Kim Davis affair, this is a pretty sick post.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Rush is yanking the GOPe chain, and doing it well.

How do we know if he does what he says after he’s elected? What office has Trump ever been elected to?

You are seeing only what you want to see. Rush is not promoting Trump. Neither is he slamming Trump as most other “conservative” types have been. I don’t support Trump. At this point he is serving a great purpose and it is fun to watch. I also don’t think he would be any worse a president than any Rino and better than any democrat.

You can frame it any way you wish, it doesn’t chance the landscape.

"What office has Trump ever been elected to?"

Maybe that is the point. He is not a politician.

Trump gave money to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Talk about a bunch of insiders.

At least Trump has accomplished things, like creating jobs and building real live structures that employ and house tens of thousands of people, as well as doing business in 11 countries.

Are you planning on getting work at one of Trump's companies?

You better think about his policy positions too.

It would be six marriages because each of their last marriages would be to each other.

She had two prior marriages to this third one, and he had three prior marriages to his fourth one: two plus three prior marriages plus the current marriage equals six marriages between them...

Yes, a complete amateur and dilettante will suffice instead of a politician.

The easiest way is to look back at what they’ve done in the past. Trump looks like he’s done everything he’s said he was going to do and then some.

Don’t worry CW, poppa Bush will call Rush and Rush will get right back on the GOPe bus. He always does.
