Why Is Rush Limbaugh Helping the Democrats?
London Telegraph ^ | February 7th, 2016 | reasonmclucus

Rush Limbaugh doesn’t understand that he is the best friend the Democrats have. He is helping them get the devotion of the Main Stream Media.

I don't know if I can get used to calling Democrats something different, but "elitist control freak" makes them seem worse than "liberal" does.

The real question is why was Rush propping up Rubio.

Why is Rush propping up Rubio or Cruz?

Why is Rush trying to destroy Trump? Is it Trump’s stand on illegal immigration? 2nd Amendment? Fair trade? Strong military? Take care of our Vets?

Which Trump issue so offends Rush that he goes out of his way to split the vote and let the establishment win in the end.

Wonder if Rush will have an audio sound bite like Fox did last night showing Rubio saying the same thing 4 times or whatever it was.

First off we have a headline scam the article has nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh and he is hardly the only one to call democrats “liberals”.

I listen from time to time and notice that he props up Cruz when Cruz is down and props up Trump when Trump is down. And now he is openly backing Rubio, the establishment candidate.

He seems to be trying divide the anti establishment votes between Trump and Cruz so that Rubio can be the nominee. Not going to work. His influence is overrated.

Listening to Rush at primary time is a frustrating enterprise. His “clever” attempts to help candidates while leaving no fingerprints behind, border on cowardice.

I think Rush realizes Trump is a big phony. Trump just mouths what he thinks conservatives want to hear, but when you get into issues involving govt power he's not opposed to it. He just thinks he can do a better job with the power.

How can Rush “destroy” Trump when no one else has been able to? The fact is, he isn’t. I have heard him praise Trump on numerous occasions and I have heard him criticize him on others. The same goes for Cruz and Rubio. He has been the most balanced of any talk show host I listen to.

The real question is why was Rush propping up Rubio.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thats right. Rubio is hardly a heavy weight, he is a wet behind the ears piker, hardly ready for the rigorous demands of the presidency. We already have suffered 8 years of off the job training with so called president Obama, a disaster if ever there was one, we do not need a pedantic puppet in office this time..

Rubio’s absences from votes in the Senate are due to his being a step and fetch guy for the front benches of the Senate.Now he thinks he is ready for the big time....WRONGO!

Rush Limbaugh obviously is an elitist who also believes in a royal US political class. Eff HIM!

Limbaugh in the primaries does not endorse anybody..so he says. And having listened to him every day these past few months, he seems to praise whomever is the current topic in the Drive-by’s. If Rubio deserved praise he’s given it, if Trump needed a reality check he’s offered that too. He’s praised and criticized Cruz too. The only ones he hasn’t talked much about is !Yeb, Kasich, and Christie.

I think Limbaugh wants whomever is not the establishment guy. Evenly between Cruz and Trump and praise as “the most decent man in the world” for Dr. Carson. Those are the three favorites for Limbaugh without him trying to show preference to either of the top two.

That’s the way his show has been these last couple of months.

Rush seemed to be most concerned with neither Trump, Cruz nor Rubio disowning him when they speak to the media.

I think its Rush orbiting around Donald Trump. I suspect he supports him as best they can.

“The real question is why was Rush propping up Rubio.”

Rubio has a very high conservative rating, amongst the highest in the Senate. Rush stipulated his “8” activity, and so, without that, it still leaves a very conservative candidate. Like the trust factor necessary for supporting Trump that he has left some of his recently expressed liberal persuasions behind him, it will take the same of supporting Rubio and his truthfully distancing himself from his recent past transgressions. Rubio is my 3rd choice, and it would take a lot for me to get there, but not impossible, compared to the socialists in the other party.
