Mark Belling, WISN Milwaukee - sometime sub for Rush.
He was my favorite as well. He used to have a Sunday night show that I listened to on the car radio, but he left the airwaves out here several years ago. He also had the best theme song: Midnight, the Stars and You by Ray Noble & His Orchestra, from 1934.
I also feel John and Ken don’t let you down much. They get some things kind of wrong and we disagree on some things, but they always see the political corruption and they stay true to themselves.
John loves Trump because he is for actual borders, for safety against Muslim terror, and doesn’t let PC rule his every move.
They don’t build themselves up arrogantly. They laugh at themselves. They are consistently funny.
Also, they (especially John) are AMAZING interviewers. They interview people rarely, and local pols wet their pants at the thought of going on air with them. They do NOT slip on the follow ups. As misanthropic as John can so steps be, he is brilliant and he does not let them get away with nonsense talk, he calls them on it 100% of the time. Meg Whitman has still not recovered from their little chat years ago. They are not mean or brusque. They just don’t allow doublespeak, spin, or brush offs.
Since the candidates will be coming to CA in a meaningful way for once, the guys will get the opportunity to interview some of them. It will be a treat.
I could not take more than 20 mins at once of Phil Hendrie.
Rush runs with the big dogs. He is able to gain information and insight because they trust him to not be a big mouthed buffoon. How do you know he lied? do you have insider information that the rest of us don’t? How about you share some of it so we can see for ourselves how dishonest he is?
I think you were stunned and still hurting because he had good things to say about Cruz and wouldn’t endorse Trump. Try to get over it, the world goes on.
Laura Ingraham is terrific!
Dobbs is a very smart and very sensible person. That he endorsed Trump is significant, very significant.
She thought Jeb was a shoe-in.
Excellent points. Rush obviously admires in Trump his skills as a showman/entertainer, capable of taking on the Democrats and the media simultaneously in the general. He just as clearly does not have the same confidence in Cruz. Rush makes the point all the time, if one listens carefully, that Trump may be the only way to defeat the dems and rino forces and save the country. He constantly tells Cruz supporters that Trump is not about policy—as they know it—but about a new set of policies and approaches. He is subtly moving beyond nostalgic conservatism, just as Trump is; but, Rush certainly knows what it takes to bring his audience along. That is why he has been at the top of his profession so long.
no not lately...rush is sutlely playing his establishment hand...leaving it to the “caller” who lately all seem to have something negative to say about Trump...the only ones that can get through and then rush just stops talking and lets them mouth off...and then says...”well you certainly have a good point”...bullshit they are planned callers...Hannity and Laura!! and Savage...unfortunately!
I lost all respect for Rush when he refused to cover Obama’s eligibility, his phony birth documents, his fake social security number, Obama’s own admission on a book jacket that he was born in Kenya, and very unlikely attendance at Columbia. ( Just to name a few.) I will NEVER forget!
It's simple!
When true tyranny comes Rush will sell his talents to the fascist oligarchy and lick the jack boots crushing our necks. In fact he is probably doing that now.
What has been turning me off is his need to tell us who he "likes"-- "I like Rubio". "I like Lindsey Graham". I don't know why he feels the need to say this, but I find it very unattractive.
He mentioned an email from yet another dear friend who told him that he either needed to be honest, and that would lose him his audience.
If I could tell him something, I'd warn him that he may need to choose between his audience and the friends he "likes" so much.
She refused to cover Obama’s eligibility, fake birth documents, and fake social security number, too. After that she is completely untrustworthy.
LEYKIS 101!!!
Correction:
Rush has always been **safe** on his subjects.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I hear what you are hearing, but what I hear in Rush is that he uses such callers to make one side of the argument, and then he has leave to take the other.
At least for me, this is a sophisticated method of discourse; more convincing ultimately than those who always argue one side, forfeiting the position of fairness and objectivity.
I truly think Rush has helped Trump immensely.
Trump met off the record with the NY Times.
