Rush Limbaugh: Trump's un-conservative attack on Ted Cruz raised a red flag for me

Trump tried to run as a conservative, but his liberal side is starting to show. So now the argument for Trump is “Yeah, we know Trump’s not a conservative, but he talks tough and he’s the only one who can win.” Sorry, I strongly disagree that Cruz can’t win, not only do I think he will win, I think he will wipe the floor with Hillary and give the Dems a spanking of 1980s proportions. And even if he doesn’t win, I want to go down swinging for what’s right, I’m supporting the conservative in this race. If we support the populist Trump and compromise our principles to win, what good is it going to do when he takes power and enacts an agenda that is not conservative?

So you don’t like that Trump said Thomas was the best Supreme court justice ever?

I don't tell myself liberal Donald Trump isn't conservative, his lifelong record of being a liberal tells me that.

Feel free to believe a man who has flip-flopped on nearly every issue if you please. I'm smarter than that.

To be fair, Trump isn't a maniac. He is an egomaniac.

The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll shows Ted Cruz doing better than Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton. Hillary beats Donald Trump 50% to 40%, but she only beats Ted Cruz 48% to 45%. Yet the myth persists that only Donald Trump can beat Hillary.

As for Hillary, she’s been slowly falling in the polls against Bernie Sanders. Bernie now has 37% support among Democrats, which means that Hillary will have no choice but to include an old Jewish firebrand Socialist on her ticket, which will mean almost certain defeat for the Democrats.

Meanwhile, with Ted Cruz rising, the prospect of the Republicans nominating a genuine true-blue Conservative candidate who can beat Hillary and become president is becoming a distinct possibility — IF Conservatives will join forces behind Ted.

Donald Trump is not merely a non-Conservative; at this point he has become a living anti-Conservative monkey-wrench sabotaging the hopes of finally having a true Conservative in the White House again after 36 post-Reagan years. So how can Conservatives continue to support Donald Trump?

You've got nothing, n00b. You're critical of the most conservative candidate in the race while supporting the lifelong liberal. That tells me all I need to know about you.

Here's a little on your liberal hero.

Rush Limbaugh on Ted Cruz: "Brilliant, and conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend."

Rush Limbaugh on Donald Trump: "Uh, Donald Trump is I think doing a great service. He is showing that you do not have to fear attacks from the media. Republicans do not have to fear attacks from the media. He's showing you do not have to fear being political correct or violating political correctness."

Rush is wrong but some n00b pushing a liberal candidate is right? I don't think so.

As I said, you've got nothing.

Learn to read. I never said you were liberal. I said you were supporting a liberal candidate and you are.

btw...Cruz gets a lifetime ACU conservative rating of 100%.

Trump, being a liberal, wouldn't even rate.

[Article] It's not about boosting Rubio, it's just about finishing Trump.

Since when is "finishing Trump" not about pushing Rubio and the RiNO agenda of shamnesty, wagebreaking, Obamacare, and McKinleyism?

Hey Cruz, did you finally sell out to the Cheap Labor Express by agreeing to granting [legal] status amnesty after illegals pay a small fine?

Good question, I've been waiting for an answer to that one for a while and not hearing one.

Bears-repeating bump.

That's basically the same explanation real conservatives offered for not supporting Mittens in 2012: Mittens, if elected, could have done far more damage to the conservative movement, as President and Party leader, than Obama has done.

In addition, he'd have likely tried to pass Romneycare at the federal level (surprise!) because the Fortune 500 |proprietor+manager| class were screaming for a federal excuse to dump employee healthcare costs on the public sector.

And, Romney'd have done it under the aegis of the GOP while calling for "party unity", creating a rightist "PUMA" movement in lieu of the Tea Party. That movement could never, with the e-GOP in adverse possession of both the Party and the Government, have challenged Sovietcare as lucidly and as effectively as the Tea Party has done.

I guess Rush is MSM RINO scum now, like everyone else who dares say a word against ANYTHING Trump has ever done or said.

He’s defending Cruz and Scalia from Trump so he must be for Jeb!!! That’s just cold hard logic!!

You don’t get it, n00b. Between Cruz and Trump, Cruz is by far the most conservative which means you are supporting the most LIBERAL candidate. I know you have no credibility to stake, but your desperation is showing.

If you want to vote based on words and promises, Trump is your man. I do like that he isn’t politically correct, but that alone doesn’t qualify him.

Trump simply says what he thinks at any particular moment. If he thinks it will move his agenda forward, all the better. Instead of looking at Trump’s current words, look at his past words and deeds to help you determine who he really is.

My vote will go to someone who has remained steadfast in his positions and conservative beliefs. Someone who doesn’t rub shoulders with the establishment elite, now or in the past.
