Limbaugh: Don't Doubt Ted Cruz’s Conservatism
The Excellence In Broadcasting Network ^ | January 27, 2016 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 01/27/2016 1:51:37 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: To Mike, who's driving around in a truck. He's from Sikeston, Missouri. It's 30 miles south of where I grew up in Cape Girardeau, and you wanted to talk about Cruz. Obviously you're a big Cruz supporter. You've got a very positive attitude about Cruz and his intellect and his ability to take the heat. Where were you going with that?

CALLER: Well, my question is, obviously as Cruz is rising in the polls, Donald is taking him on more and seeing him as an enemy, wanted to combat him rightly so as any candidate would do. My question is how do you think Cruz is handling the heat? How is he handling the new side of Trump that he's seeing, the abrasiveness of Trump coming from Trump and not just another member of his party, the senate, or the media?

RUSH: I think he's handling it well. I think he's known that it was coming, and I think he's amped up well for it and prepared well for it. And I think he will probably take full advantage -- if Trump actually doesn't show up tomorrow night, I think he is going to take full advantage of it, and the other candidates will try to as well. But I don't think you can make Ted Cruz wilt. I don't think there's any kind of heat that's going to cause him to shrink. He rises to the occasion.

The thing about Ted Cruz is that you never have to doubt his conservatism. In fact, you can be totally confident that that's who he is. He's not gonna have to remember what to say when. It's in his heart. It is part of his fabric. It's the essence of who he is...

Who cares what Limbaugh says, he’s a fat drug addict.

Cruz isn’t all bad, he’s just no Trump!

Cruz is the most conservative person in the race. He also will be brought down by the GOPe if he can damage Trump. In fact, that is the hope of the GOPe that they can get a one on one between Rubio and Cruz. If neither then have a majority of delegates the convention will select Rubio or a “compromise” candidate.

Please Vet. Define your understanding of Conservatism. Really would like to know why you seem to spend your days supporting Cruz who may not be eligible to be POTUS.

My understanding of conservatism is "What Trump wasn't before he allegedly was"

“If JFK flew to today in a time machine, he would be too conservative for the GOP.”

Definitely. However, Cruz did not qualify his words.

Maybe you should try listening to what the pre-Ted for president Trump was saying.

... My point is with Ted Cruz, there’s no phoniness here. There’s no pretense, and he’s not gaming you. He’s not something else pretending better than anybody else to be a conservative.
Read slowly the quote above. Then reminder yourself that Rush says daily that Trump is not a conservative.
(never mind all of DT’s pretend views compared to his recent past).

Lol, all Ted has done is flip/flop his views to copy Trump on trade and immigration. Ted’s GOPe just as he’s always been

We must be the same age.

92 was my first presidential vote too. I was 20.

I don’t doubt Cruz’s conservatism. I do doubt his ability to be an effective administrator and leader of a nation.

Trump copied Ted on immigration except Trump never really changed since Trump still wants touch back amnesty which will bring in about 60 million 3rd worlders.

Rush shilling for Cruz again, while trying to make it appear he isn’t. Phony baloney, as he would say, only he should now say it about himself.
