I listen to Rush every day and I don’t understand why he supports Cruz. Is it because he supported him in the very beginning and can’t just admit he was wrong?
Is there any limit to the number of conservatives trump supporters will throw under the bus in an attempt to lift the Donald?
He's honest, though. I'll take it.
Rush is like that. He gets paid either way.
But I think that he wants a candidate with Cruz’s supposed squeaky clean past (oops) and Trump’s fight.
What he likely knows is that the fight is more important, but he thinks Cruz supporters make up his audience, so better to not lose the audience right now.
Straw man argument. Nobody is claiming that Trump is the “next Reagan” but Trump opponents love to claim that people are so they can use the Lloyd Bentsen line.
But over and over again, the counter-claim is made, that Trump is no Reagan. It is part of the TDS that all liberals and some conservatives are mentally ill with.
Goldberg meets his deadline with another “Look at me! Blah blah Trump! But look at me!” trying to be relevant. He’d do better writing about the Easter Bunny’s role in politics. But he’s not smart enough.
Not agreeing with someone =/= throwing them under a bus.
But since you brought it up, what do you think of the blacklist being created of conservatives that support Trump that has been created?
And Cruz isn’t either. Reagan could connect with the people, hence his nickname “The Great Communicator”. Cruz is preachy, condescending and easily slips into lawyer mode. He wooden mannerisms give Al Gore a run for the money. And he never led anything, less operate anything bigger than a lemonade stand.
Never idolize any politician or anyone else for that matter.
Is anyone at Townhall even old enough to remember Reagan?
Trump is obviously not Reagan, but the Trump victory plan IS quite like Reagan 1980/84, and Nixon 1972 as well.
There have been four elections since FDR where the President has won overwhelmingly - 1964, 1972. 1980 and 1984.
Leave out 1964 for the moment. The other three - 520 EV, 489 EV, 525 EV - were all won by Republicans whose brand of American nationalism won over white Democrats.
Saying Reagan wasn’t a conservative is throwing him under the bus.
Jonah seems to feel he has an obligation to write a daily Trump-bashing column. Jonah was 11 when Reagan was elected; 19 when he left the presidency. So he’s an expert on that Administration.
Jonah is not alone, of course. There is a small army of ‘conservative’ writers and talk show hosts who feel a similar obligation. Their stories get oh, so, tiresome.
I’m sure they will all rebound and find lots of wonderful things to say about Trump after he’s elected, and try to get exclusives from the Trump Administration, not to mention invites to the White House. That’s just the way the game works. Or has worked. It’s the whole new game that scares them to death!
There are no perfect people, politicians or otherwise. Reagan was a good man and a patriot.
SENIORS; CRUZ WANTS TO CUT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
CRUZ DISLIKE, DISTRUSTED
Alumni, roommates, law clerks, former staffers in the George W. Bush campaign and White House (and the president himself), members of Congress and others who have known Cruz — lots and lots of people — consider him socially awkward, nasty, dishonesty
httpest, a blatant apple-polisher and all-around creepy guy. You can write off a few of these critics as jealous of his success, or liberal antagonists, but all of them? There is something badly amiss here. Cruz, who so obviously lacks emotional intelligence, cannot recognize it, but those closest to him surely must see that something is awry...
CRUZ NOT REPORTING FOR THE JOB HE WAS ELECTED TO DO:
Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen
The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes.
Ted Cruz came to Washington two-and-a-half years ago pledging to be the anti-senator. But he’s been more like the no-show senator.
The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes in what has been a Senate career long on rhetoric and short on Senate business.
He’s skipped the vast majority of Armed Services Committee hearings, is below-average in attendance on his other major committees and ranks 97th during the first three months of this year in showing up for roll call votes on the Senate floor. ... -Read more: Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen

One of the things Cruz would like you to forget:
His father fought along side Fidel Castro

Ted Cruz’s Father: My Son “Anointed” To “Take Control of Society”..
CRUZ IS WEAK ON IMMIGRATION AND SEALING BORDER
Then-Governor Reagan signed into law the Mulford Act (1967) which banned open carry in California. He saw “no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.”.
As President he defended subsidies in farm rich states like Iowa and North Carolina.
Jonah who?
They are not conservatives now are they? They’re elite beltway types.
Great guy...but I’ll respond if Trump gets attacked in his name.
