Yep. As bad as Levin was about this, it’s more understandable because he’s not a tycoon, had family working for Cruz, and he was getting Cruz super-PAC money. I’m not saying it’s OK by any means, it’s just more understandable how he could get sucked into this. Rush is the one that really bothers me. He needed the prestige or money? He has such supremacy in radio that every ratings race is a race for the #2 spot. He’s over halfway to being a billionaire. It’s disappointing to say the least that he didn’t turn the money down and say, “No thanks, guys, I feel like I’m crossing an ethical boundary here.” (And very possibly a legal one, although nobody has been prosecuted for Payola in decades, it’s just something to laugh at on WKRP and Happy Days nowadays.)

This made the rounds on FR but of course it got no play in the MSM. They’re not going to blow the whistle on something that screws Trump. What’s funny is that it didn’t work and he became president anyway! The more the media attacks us and Trump, the more it steels our resolve to re-elect him. In 2020, there probably will be riots on the steps of the Capitol.

As nuts as they are now, I can't imagine how crazy the libs will be during the 2020 election cycle. Heck, I don't even know if we can get through the midterms without violence and bloodshed.

Libs are up against a wall with nowhere else to go.
