I didn’t turn Rush on today but I hear that he’s pumping Cruz & Rubio and tearing down Trump.

I’m so done with Rush.

>>>”I’m so done with Rush.”

If one is for Trump, is there a conservative talk show host or commentator who is left in good graces?

He’s been covering up for and supporting Trump all along.

I did turn on Rush and he wasn't tearing down Trump at all, he expects Trump to win very big in New Hampshire, and he put the best possible spin on interpreting Trump's tweet about spending his own money on campaign not being worth it. Rush mainly appreciates that the pundits were off base.

You have to admit that Trump should never say he likes and can make deals with Pelosi and Reid. It shows he doesn't understand our fury after all.

Me too!

Trump did fine with the evangelicals. He lost votes in the Romney precincts. That tells you something. Dirty tricks by GOP. They took away Trump votes and gave them to Rubio.

It looks like the process was changed this year, where you could easily vote more than once if you wanted to. Many people were turned away & not allowed to vote.

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.

Like most Trump supporters, you just don't seem to care about Trump's conspicuous flaws. Worse still, it seems that you may even regard his flaws as virtues.

Rush has been extraordinarily charitable to Trump. So, it's not appropriate to dump on Rush here on FR just because Rush is finally pointing out something about Trump that a huge percentage of FReepers, including many who had formerly supported Trump, have recognized as politically dangerous flaws.

Trump really is acting like a liberal Democrat, Kenny. Rush is correct in pointing out that this is the real reason why Trump LOST Iowa, just as many of us had also warned. Trump's over-the-top viciousness against genuinely conservative and generally very decent Republicans is counterproductive, to say the least, since it reveals that Trump has no very conspicuous scruples. (Heck, none other than Michael Savage tried to warn him about this even when Trump was delighting quite a few political jerks with his ad hominem attacks against Ben Carson.)

My point, Rush's point, is that Trump has actually lost many of his supporters (and alientated many of the undecideds) even while he was gaining a few supporters via his viciousness against conservative Republicans.

Nationally speaking, it appears that Trump has hit the ceiling of national popularity. He is overall the most unfavorable candidate in either party. He won't be able to break through that ceiling in the general election, IMO--especially if the Dems surprise us with a different candidate than Bernie or Hillary--because so many conservatives find Trump downright repugnant. Cruz, on the other hand, has the ability to reason even with Corn Belt farmers. He would do better in the general election, because he would pick up most of the Trump supporters without losing all of the more conservative supporters.

Cruz is Reaganesque. Trump is anything but Reaganesque. And the fact that Trump's supporters are turning against Rush, of all people, shows me that Trump's supporters are almost (!) as clueless as liberal Democrats are.

Nationalism counts, but integrity counts even more.
