Limbaugh: If Cruz Wins on 2nd Convention Ballot, "It's the End of the GOP" - Audio
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | April 25, 2016 | Brian

Posted on 04/25/2016 2:30:18 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Rush Limbaugh today on his radio show looks ahead to what happens if Ted Cruz actually succeeds with his plan to wrestle the nomination away from Donald Trump on the 2nd or 3rd ballot of a contested Republican Convention. Rush said it will be like a “nuclear explosion” going off, and that “it will be the end of the Republican Party.” . . . .

I’m not saying this to be mean, I honestly would like answers here.
_____________________________

Here is my answer.

Trump will get the nomination by having the 1237 probably between 1265-1350 before the convention.

By October, it will be as if Trump is running unopposed. He will shred Hillary to confetti. She is so weak!

You heard it here first. Trump is so underestimated that this amazes me. The democrats though are starting to fear a Trump opponent. Wait until he starts in on her!

He said that when Ted still had a chance. He was in love with Felito. The voters weren't. Now he's eliminated. Rush understands what would happen if Felito and the GOPe try to rig the convention.

He was wrong about Edward the Third then, but he recognizes the reality now, and the options are Trump or Hillary. There is no third option that does not result in Hillary.

Rush is exactly right....

Trump is a “newly minted” conservative, no one can deny this. Will he stay one? That is the question.

OK. Point taken. So now we trade GOPe Lemmings for Trump Lemmings. This is a Media show just like all the other times. We just have a new Master of Ceremonies.

Lemmings Unite. Vote Trump.

You can’t really expect any more than that from a shameless, cowardly hypocrite like 2ndDivisionVet.

Isn’t this the tagline you used to use, 2ndDivisionVet?

“20 posted on 5/12/2010, 1:03:41 PM by 2ndDivisionVet (Don’t care if he was born in a manger on July 4th! A “Natural Born” citizen requires two US parents!)”

Not only are you a hypocrite, 2ndDivisionVet, you’re a coward for refusing to answer why it’s different for Cruz than 0b0la.

It must be some principle I’m not conservative enough to understand.

Many people here have asked him repeatedly to explain what’s the difference between 0b0la and Cruz, but he refuses to fess up.

When did Rush wake up?

Rush's miscalculations up to this point have been staggering!

I stopped listening as he was so out of step, having no understanding of what the answer to Hillary needed to be.

Hope he's on the Trump train now.

“Ok...thats telling his audience, Ted Cruz is a conservative...not an endorsement...”

Well, Ted used it in his campaign ads and it sure sounds like an endorsement and was used like an endorsement and unsuspecting people would certainly believe it was an endorsement and Rush didn’t make him stop, so obviously it was fine with Rush.

If it looks like a duck...

The GOPe found some blackmail material on Rush on from his Thailand trip after his latest wife divorced him. They've been using on it ever since then. The corruption runs very deep.

Hillary wins no matter who the Republicans run. Gov. McAuliffe of VA just restored voting rights to 200,000 felons and heaven only knows what election shenanigans are going on in the other 49 states.

People who give up without even trying always lose.

If there is a Brokered Convention and G.O.P pisses away it's momentum with Shenanigans, than they are going to Lose in November, even if Cruz is the Nominee.

That's the money quote right there. Trump has momentum and good will with independents and democrat blue collar voters.

The other question is how much will Cruz owe the people providing him the money to do this. In a normal election the money would dry up and Cruz would have to suspend his Candidacy. So it's become the rank and file against the power brokers.

I hope the voters in the remaining primaries realize this and punish Cruz and Kasich by voting for Trump and for unifying the party.

If Cruz wins at all, whether it be the second ballot or the two hundredth ballot, the Republican Elite won’t have done their jobs. The Republican Elite hate Cruz more than they hate Trump. They hate Trump because they fear and respect him. They neither fear nor respect Cruz, they only hate him.

And Rush will hold some responsibility, pimping Cruz as he has. But “the end of the GOP”? Not a bad thing.

“Rush’s fence sitting isn’t sitting well with what is left of his audience.”

Rush merely read the Pat Buchanan article and is parroting it.
Too late Rush. Any thinking conservative with a lick of common sense wrote you off for good.

Stop supporting ex-Democrats.
Pick a real life-long conservative.

I hope I don't have to be the first to inform you that Reagan was an ex-Democrat.

Listen, I started the 2016 cycle rooting for Cruz, and I still would be very happy to see him win the nomination. However, I have to say that Trump has fundamentally changed the game and the power structure in the GOP, and that's a good thing. Were it not for him rocking the boat and capturing imaginations, I firmly believe that the GOPe would be putting the finishing touches on the coronation of Yeb. Trump made it possible for conservatives to proudly vote their conscience rather than be cowed into voting for "electable" candidates who were nothing of the sort.

Have a great day.
