This is the most heated GOP primary I remember by far. It seems like there are very strong supporters and haters of Trump.
Many talk radio hosts seem to take have taken sides. Prager, Medved, Hewitt, (and slightly Glenn Beck) are against Trump.
Limbaugh seems to give Trump moderate support.
I'm wondering if anyone has completely stopped listening to any talk show hosts because of their current stances and comments they may have made about your favorite or least favorite candidate.
Yes, Levin is off the menu.
When Beck headed to the Border with Cruz and gave out soccer balls and teddy bears to illegal aliens—many of whom were teenager boys, I tuned Beck out. I hope Secret Service is monitoring him as his rhetoric is dangerous...
I used to really like Levin. Then I found him annoying, hypocritical and condescending. Now I simply can’t abide him.
The only one I truly like any more is Chris Plante on DC’s WMAL (same station as Limbaugh and Levin that used to have Hannity, now it’s Savage).
I’ve been listening to Rush since 1988 and for the past two weeks, I’ve turned him OFF. I’m very disappointed in Rush who proclaims to be neutral until a candidate is nominated. He’s a Cruzaholic lately. OFF and music on.
Wish the press would’ve asked more questions about Obama’s past.
I’ve changed a lot...
If I’m up early enough (currently on unemployed) I faithfully listen to Jim Quinn...if up a little later I definitely listen to Rose Tennant (she fills in for Hannity sometimes and is a breath of fresh air).
I used to listen to Beck...that stopped when he (and main crush, Ted Cruz, went to the border w/soccer balls and teddy bears). Permanently stopped when Beck went insane with “all Cruz, all the time.”
I’ve listened to Rush forever. But have started turning him off with his giving bonafides to Rubio; and almost achieving Beckian “love” for Cruz.
I was excited Levin came to my home radio market, but now, I don’t care for his yelling on and on about Cruz WITHOUT disclosing his future step son works for the Cruz campaign. This was after YEARS of telling his audience how wonderful his wife was during his many heart recoveries (and I only listened periodically back then...so it must have been almost a daily occurrence).
Anyways...I remembered there is this thing called “music” you can listen to in the car or when home alone. It doesn’t preach to me OR raise my blood pressure. Who knew? For me, the end of an era (and I won’t be scrimping to buy “their” books for my kindle any more either.)
No. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I’ll tell you what I’ve done about talk radio
I quit listening to the bastards
Laura Ingraham and Steve Bannon and a few minutes of Sean is about it now
Mark Levin and Rush and Mike Berry are as useless as tits on a boar
They and their pets Rubio and Cruz are not part of the solution to me
They are such access and relevancy whores
I’m done with it and do not miss it
Especially levin
I do loesch like I do Robin Meade on TV
I LOOK LIKE ALL HELL BUT TURN THE SOUND OFF
Something and Melrose butthurt Berry and homosexual analogies have a certain jingle that go together
He’s closeted poorly and obviously
Former dairy ashford and westheimer resident here
Turned off Erick Ericson...part of the Anti- Trump express.
Still listen to Herman Cain- not biased toward any candidate.
Hannity changes to a different candidate depending on the news cycle.
Rush no more since his stance on Rubio a few weeks ago.
Levin was always a neoabolitiionist
And a certain freeper always gently admonished me for overlooking that part of Levin
It’s not an issue anymore
The radio in my car at 5 central time now has iTunes or Raphsody playing
Hell with the neoconfederate or you’re all anti Semites baiting Levin
And I have all his books too
My compliant about Sean is his views seem centered on who he knows like he’s impressing us
And Jamie Dupree as his daily libtard devils advocate
I’d rather hear him talk to Jesse James Dupree every day
Is Hannity still on the air? Our local talk station has dropped him for that liberal Medved and he is a no go in their house
Yes he is.
Your right. I couldn’t put my finger on why Rush was really getting on my nerves. He isn’t picking up peoples meaning or humor and I too think its his hearing. Trump uses humor a lot in his rallies at serious moments and then turns the tone around to serious. He has the talent of constantly mixing emotions as a means of keeping peoples attention and interest and controlling emotions. Rush is unable to pick up humor any more and takes Trump’s sarcastic humor as mixing up facts.
A wise decision at this point..
It’s a great question. I admit being a conservative talk show addict since finding Rush on the dial by accident on his first day of having a national show. At different times I’ve followed all the national hosts mentioned. I used to wonder why these hosts wouldn’t back a candidate. They were putting the success of their show above the country as I saw it. Now they appear to back someone and it splinters their audience.
It’s good to see in the comments that we don’t get our views from the hosts. Look at the uproar when they have even the appearance of backing or defending the wrong candidate. Now I sample the shows and turn it off as soon as they offend me or are working against my interests as I see them, which seems to keep getting earlier and earlier in every show.
My views are just slightly to the right of Cruz. Trump is too far left for me (cf. Kelo). My main interest is growth economics. My choice is Rubio who is not popular here. If Rubio loses Florida, I will shift my support to Cruz, but I don’t believe this country that keeps shifting leftward is about to elevate the most conservative member of the Senate to the Presidency.
We will build a bigger wall (and enact better tax reform, repeal Obamacare, etc.) if we win this election and hold the Senate than if we lose. My two cents.
