Rush would be over the moon with this Trump redux...

....perhaps he is, if heaven works that way.

Cannot believe it has been four years already. It’s like losing a family member. Still feels like yesterday I would turn on the radio to hear his voice.

Rush would have been having so much fun the last three months and especially the last few weeks.

During one of his last shows he gave his thank you to the listeners. That was heart breaking to hear.

Sorely missed and irreplaceable.

I am 100% with you on that. Rush would rightly so be a proud papa and oh the fun he would be having—and us!— from him doing his brand of updates and sound effects for the latest things coming from Trump 2.0. I'm sad, but smiling at the same time.

I can’t listen to Bongino. I agree with his ideas but he sounds hysterical too much of the time. Clay and Buck are shills for sports gambling and “Crockett Coffee” and whatever other money-making schemes they are involved in. I like Jesse Kelly because he doesn’t take himself too seriously and he is a great patriot. Mostly I miss the hell out of Rush.

“I can’t listen to Bongino.”

I loved Rush, but I prefer Bongino. I like that he’s “hysterical” (I call it bombastic). He doesn’t spend half-hour segments discussing football or golf. He’s more activist than Rush was (other than Dan’s Bake Sale and Operation Chaos with Hillary). And Bongino has career history that lets him offer good insight.

Rush seemed to have been prescient in predicting what the left would do — always a few steps ahead. During the years before he ended the parodies, he was the absolute best! (I have CDs with a lot of the parodies by Paul Shanklin, and listen to them from time to time for a little nostalgia.)

I grew up in an FDR-inspired Democrat family, which influenced my political leanings, and was further exasperated by joining a trade union, that was further hardcore Democrat.

As fortune would have it, I got a job with a small contractor and rode to work with one of the 3 owners, who listened faithfully to Rush Limbaugh for the duration of many rides to and from the job sites.

It was during these rides that my formal conversion to conservative politics took a foothold.

I found over time that I agreed with much of what the Great Maha Rushie opined. By definition, I am not a Rush Baby, but might be considered a Rush Convert, by way of being a captive/ captive audience.

I will always carry endearing memories of that supervisor and the long rides serenaded by the sage voice of Rush Limbaugh and his formerly nicotine-stained hands clutching the Golden EIB microphone.

One of my favorite bumper stickers...

Rush Baby

A person that grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh, probably because their parents did, and therefore they are conservatives themselves. This is a theory to explain the ever increasing number of conservative youngsters in high school and colleges in America.

yes indeed. this says it all. liberals thought he was boasting, but he was just giving praise for what he had. Rush was called home to see it all unfold... and he may be orchestrating some... dodging a bullet, word salads, JD Vance calling EU Commissioners, Commissars. Rush is involved.

“and he may be orchestrating some...”

Absolutely what I’ve been thinking for some time now.

No telling what levers Rush was pulling or what buttons he was pressing to get US where we are today.

I really miss that man.

Started listening in 1991. As soon as he created his website I paid the money so I could listen to all 3 hours.

I didn’t listen on the radio any longer since 11 to 2 everyday was difficult working. Even as a hotel Controller is was “on the floor” more than in my office.

So with Rush 24/7 I never missed a show. And no commercials.

Now I mostly listen to Bongino and Mark Levin. Clay and Buck get annoying and petty. Hannity is impossible to listen to.

Our local talk radio station has a libertarian and RINO. Constantly whining about everything. Total knee jerk Debbie Downers.
