Any anti-Cruz votes via Rush Limbaugh’s ‘talk’ are bound to be votes for Trump. That’s the “strategery”.
losing Rush is to me akin to losing your first dog who ran away. you loved that dog, looked after him and considered him a member of the family. the dog however chose to cast his lot with others and cleared out.
you miss him while you realize there can never be another one like him. but you get over him; he’s no longer a factor.
you somtimes wonder if he ever was.
