I don’t know how anyone could listen to Rush and think that he is in favor of Trump. Rush looks down his nose at Trump. I believe Rush thinks Hillary will be good for his business. People will flock to his show for consolation, nevermind that the Republic will be lost.
There are too many listeners who love these radio hosts no matter what. Radio hosts don’t mean squat. The people we put in office are the ones who can make or break our lives.
Rush, like Levin, has a sneaky way of dissing Trump while giving the impression he is for Trump.
He reads negative articles/polls and repeats them over and over. Not just 2 or 3 times, but more like 7 or 8 times. Then, he claims ‘they said it, I didn’t. I just repeated it.’
[Recall how the media skewered Trump just for repeating that ‘p-word’ way back when?]
Rush has always been more establish than conservative. Many forget in the mid-years of GWBush, Rush favored comprehensive immigration reform. And Harriet Myers for the Supreme Court. And the Dubai ports deal. Rush can be swayed by his audience, however. Unlike Levin who is like a mad dog with a bone, Rush knows he has to appeal to his audience, so he knows how to subtly seem to shift positions toward what his audience favors.
IIRC, it was after the Republicans lost big in the 2006 election that Rush stated he was through carrying water for the GOP.
[Well, he still carries some. He just tries to be less obvious about it. Several months ago he gave a list of ‘people’ he had associated with in the previous year. Ironically, nearly every name was a political or media figure. But he always claims to be an outsider.]
In the unlikely event Hitlery wins, I will never listen to Rush again. He’s already on thin ice as it is.
My sister told me the same thing....she won’t listen to Rush if Hitlery wins.
