He knows. There are two possibilities.(1) He is part of the DS and he's just talking to placate the conservative right while they are being declawed at the ballot box and in the bill of rights. (2) He realizes it but doesn't want to offend those who have not yet been red pilled and still think he was the last conservative president. Also possibly doesn't want to admit he was hoodwinked. ,p>#ISaidHoodwinkedCouldIBeMoreOfABoomer?
“Also possibly doesn’t want to admit he was hoodwinked.”
Bullseye. Rush was very late to recognize that the GOP Establishment is not the friend of conservatives or even the average middle American voter. All through the 1990s he was a loyal waterboy (his term) for the GOP. His head was turned by all the attention he was given by Team Bush, father and son.
He often showed himself to be less informed than freepers. He showed little understanding of the battles between the GOP establishment, neoconservatives, and paleocons. And when he did venture into that territory he reliably parroted the party line of the US Chamber of Commerce/Wall Street Journal faction: mass immigration is never a problem, globalism benefits everyone. You may even recall Rush being praised by Al Gore for being a loyal waterboy on NAFTA.
It wasn’t until the grassroots conservative revolt against Dubya that Rush started to realize that he was in peril of losing his audience. First the uprising against Harriet Miers. Then the even stronger reaction to Dubya’s lunatic plan to grant another illegal alien amnesty. That’s when Rush plaintively announced that he would no longer be a loyal waterboy. But you can tell that he’s still reticent to ever criticize Dubya directly, no matter how obvious Dubya’s Put America Second globalism is to most everone now.

In the last several weeks, Rush has lumped together the Obama, Bush, and Clinton administrations, regarding bad things (can’t remember specific topics). At least 2 or 3 times. I think he’s turning the corner, maybe redpilled...
