This Rush thing is getting ridiculous. Just over the past couple of days, I’ve seen FReepers squawking, “He’s in the tank for Trump!” “He’s endorsing Cruz!” Now it’s Rubio. People, just because he said something complimentary about a candidate in that portion of the show you listened to doesn’t mean he’s endorsing anybody!
Rush has said countless times over the years he NEVER endorses anyone in the primaries.
You are exactly right.
And many, many times you can hear him adopting the persona of a hypothetical politician or voter: “Rubio is a conservative guy, he votes for conservative issues all the time...”
That isn’t supposed to be Rush talking, it’s his impression of somebody out there on the Fruited Plain.
I’ve been away from the radio for several days now and really don’t know if he has been praising Rubio...I have seen transcripts though that suggest he certainly has been defending Rubio. Not in the sense of an endorsement but in putting him out there as not the worst choice, anyhows.
To me Rubio is close to the worst choice. I just don’t trust him a “smidge” (as certain famous pansies like to say) and I am surprised that Rush seems to feel otherwise.
Well said. I can’t remember Rush ever endorsing anyone in the primaries either.
