He commented that Trump only won 47% of vote but won Florida. OK but wasn't that against a larger field of candidates and didn't the popular vote decide? unlike Colorado? just asking.... didn't the vote of the people matter in Florida?
That's eminently more fair, because at least they allowed the entire GOP voting public the option of voting.
Furthermore, that bears NO resemblance to a system put in place to deliberately exclude outsiders, and to award ALL the delegates to the insider designated ABRITRARILY by the party apparatchiks.
Ted Cruz has also benefited from Winner Take All primaries.
The People are much more concerned about "greased skids" schemes to completely bypass the voting public at large, which is exactly what happened in Colorado (and Wyoming, for that matter). Rush even admitted it a few days ago, talking about how the plan was to make sure that no "outsiders" could get the Colorado delegates, only Jeb Bush, the designated GOPe darling (which became Ted Cruz by default once Jeb was squashed like an insect by Trump, and once Cruz jumped into bed with the GOPe).
Colorado Delegates Speak Out On The Steal
Once again, Cruz fanboys are trying to compare apples and oranges...
ok Mr. unique first and foremost I said flame or educate. I am not whining about anything. I did listen and to me Rush said trump won on votes just like Ted. I think ted won won on non votes. that is all
Their burning bridges that’s for sure.
They shouldn’t expect their audience to return after the election.
Me, too! Mark is easy on the eyes and ears! Love his voice!
You need a Snickers bar. You get a little crazy when you’re hungry.
“Rush is like O’Reilly. Acts like he’s a truth teller but actually is desperate for msm-gope acceptance.”
Exactly
What, the Cruz Davidians? Good folks, salt of the earth.
True words
After listening to Rush for over 27 years, I won’t be listening any more.
Typical of the Trumpkins to miss the point, and you are absolutely correct.
Trump is impressive only in that he has been able to convince a group of lemmings that he is being cheated even though he is winning, and the rules have actually helped him.
Show me where Trump said the system is “Rigged Against Him”.
He said it "was set up so that crooked politicians can make sure they get somebody in that’s not you know part of [the system].”
By definition, that means rigged against him. In any case, I wasn't quoting him.
Get the TuneIn radio app and your greater options will change your listening habits. My favs: Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, Jeff Kuhner (WRKO Boston), Howie Carr (WRKO Boston).
Are you whining about the meaningless and non-binding straw vote? There was no vote binding in Colorado from 1912-1988 and hasn't been from 2004 on.
Trump either didn't know about this or didn't care. Either way makes it a problem. He and his followers cry foul in this situation when there is no foul, but say nothing about winner take all states that favor him even though he gets less than 50% of the vote. That doesn't sound fair but no one outside of Trump is whining. Trump has 37% of the vote but has 45% of the delegates. Again, not fair, but you guys are the only ones whining. If he whines about something as ridiculous as this, how will he ever be able to go toe to toe with Hillary and the DNC, the communist thugs in China or that fine and respectable tyrant from Russia?
Fair to the petulant only occurs when they win.
It’s called rules.
It isn’t stealing or a ‘voterless election’ whether Trump loses or wins; whether they vote in a primary or in caucus/convention.
Thanks for that info.
You are wearing your stupidity on your sleave. Trump got 48 delegates in Texas moron.
You Trump folks, if there are any intelligent ones, really aught to police the dimwitted amongst you. It makes you all look like complete retards.
Rush’s argument today was that Trump is smarter than people give him credit for. He will try to woo the delegates in Cleveland because it’s more economical.
Frankly I think that is a generous assessment.
Did a trump fan really just call me a traitor on this thread? Again, if there are 5 remaining brain cells amongst you trump fans - slap the crud out of the idiots going full jihadist.
Rush has been going south for years,but never showed in the primaries whom he was supporting until this year. Rush has money and can throw it around,but it will never make him happy. He is egotistical,and wants tons of recognition and praise because ESPN and others crapped on him,he is clawing and scratching to get people to think he is the greatest, and doing all the wrong things to accomplish anything. He makes me feel bad,where the hell is the real rush? It doesn’t help that his horse-faced brother and Looney Levin are scruzebots to the nth degree. I think the number one reason that rush does, not support trump is trump will not kiss his lard ass,and all the others do,they need him,trump does not,and that probably eats at his fragile ego. I was listening to rush since 1992,but less and less in the last few years,he has really gone downhill. He sure wants to get invited back to the Lincoln bedroom,too bad he prostitutes himself for the privilege.
He sounds more like he’s cutting the cheese in his knickers,or we could say he us full if it.
