Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that Donald Trump lost the Iowa caucus because his criticism of Ted Cruz made him sound "like a liberal Democrat."
"I don't think Trump skipping the debate had a thing to do with what happened last night," began Limbaugh. "This is a Republican primary. It's Iowa. Conservatives win in Iowa."
"Donald Trump, I don't know if you forgot - one thing that everyone remembers - he went out and tried to criticize Ted Cruz," explained the talk-show host.
"Ted Cruz isn't the enemy," he continued. "Hillary Clinton is the enemy. Ted Cruz is not a nasty guy. Ted Cruz is not a Canadian."
"Nobody is going to believe that, especially when you offer that criticism sounding as though it could come with Bernie Sanders. In a Republican primary, you do not win if you're going to sound like a liberal democrat criticizing Ted Cruz."
The proper question is Huckabee, Santorum, Trump - what do they have in common. The answer is they all three attacked Cruz like liberal Democrats and all three got rejected by voters at the last minute because of it.
And your analogy above? Very flawed. I’ll wait a while before embarrassing you.
Yes because nothing says conservative gravitas like: “He’s a NY liberal neener, neener, neener.”
Your candidate campaigned for Barack Obama in the U. S. Senate. Nothing you can say to me would “embarass” me. LOL.
>>>>”..they got Ann Coulter.”
You’re right! I forgot about Ann.
Christie, Romney, Mitch McConnell, Trump... The lady’s been a real disappointment in whom she supports.
Sorry, it is a question that has to be answered. They broke it and now we have to fix it. Calling people names is not a fix.
Likely some truth to that.
McCain, Romney Trump. What do they have in common?
Let me guess. None of them praised God on Twitter?
Actually I turned Rush off today too at the point when he is pushing Rubio just like Fox, CNN, MSNBC and on and on. I have had enough. Lets two women call in and bash Cruz - probably really Hillary voters. He just lets them sound off. This is not like Rush. Both Trump and Cruz got hit on Rush today. He is pro Rubio.
Just heard someone on Rush’s show compare Cruz to Jimmy Swaggart lol. And that’s exactly how over 50% of the American people will think about Ted Cruz.
Marco Amnesty wins the nomination going away. You read it here first.
Agree he should focus more on policy and compare how the left wants to ruin the military more in an article way, how millions of people are illegal here and they want to reward them , thus Americans young and not skilled lose their jobs etc.
Cruz won’t be able to cut any deals. He will be lame duck if he wins, but he won’t so it doesn’t really matter.
Steve King, Jeff Sessions, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Jonah Goldberg, Thomas Sowell, Brent Bozell,Dana Loesch...
What a bunch of RINos....
When are you going to wake up and realize you are on the wrong side of the conservative line?
“How do you insure them?”
Why is the government’s job to get citizens insurance?
Problem is there is no way to have those high risk pools now. Nobody is saying everyone has a right to insurance, but there are those who need it and want it. If you had cancer why should an insurance company cover you? They shouldn’t so then what?
Cruz called Trump a socialist like Bernie, what is his solution?
>>>>”No. Because conservative means whatever you want it to mean when you’re a talk show host.”
Unfortunately it doesn’t mean what Trump wants it to mean (even if he had a coherent description of conservative).
So, to be for Trump, you have to be against them all.
Something like this:
Government cannot fix health care except by getting the hell out of the way
Amen.
A true Conservative would never even consider such a question.
This site has been infiltrated...
LOL Well even with a big Bible like that if you say “two Corinthians” you will have trouble in Iowa.
Who said anything about the gummit? How do you fix a broken glass?
Cruz and Rush called Trump a socialist for his solution, what is Cruz’s? Obviously nobody knows because there isn’t one. He has had his paid his entire life unlike some of us.
Rush gets it wrong again.
