“Limbaugh wasn’t on board with Trump early on (he joined the train when he realized he’d become like Levin and lose a bigly part of his audience by being a NeverTrumper).”
That is true. He called us “Trumpists” early on. Like most here, Rush started with Cruz and then drifted to Trump. Rush was on the back-end of that movement, but did get there in time to prevent serious damage to his reputation, as he understood that to weaken Trump was to strengthen Hillary, something Cruz (and Levin), our two great ‘Constitutional Scholars’ really struggled to figure out.
Also to be fair, Rush didn’t like to endorse candidates early. To be a true Trumpist, one had to jump on at the beginning. Like my wife did.
Me? I was late to the party as well. He said all the right things, but my gut instinct (which was wrong) was telling me con artist. I DID end up voting for him in the primary, as that was the point I saw EVERYONE bagging on him, so I figured he had all the right enemies.
I’m just tired of ALWAYS getting my least favorite candidate winning the primaries. Always having to vote for the lesser of two weasels. I was afraid Trump was going to be that again.
I was never so happy to be wrong!!
