BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Jimmy Carter. Grab sound bite number 26. This is yesterday in London in Parliament, Jimmy Carter addressing the House of aristocrats (i.e., the House of Lords).
CARTER: If I had a choice of Republican nominees --
RUSH: You do.
CARTER: -- let's just say, for instance, between Cruz and Trump -- I think I would choose Trump, which may surprise some of you. But the reason is that Trump has proven already that he's completely malleable. I don't think he has any fixed opinions that he would really go to the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far-right-wing policies, in my opinion, that would be pursued aggressively if and when he might become president.
RUSH: Well it better happen, because we've been practicing your brand of politics here for eight years minimum, and we're about to end up in the gutter, in the sewer. We gotta do something fast.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: his is Greg in Rushsylvania, Ohio. It's great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Great to be here. It's an honor and a pleasure to talk to on my 5-2 birthday.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.
CALLER: I just wanted to say that for all the laughs that he got, I don't believe that former President Carter's comments about his willingness to vote for Trump was a joke. I think he was dead serious about that. He wants somebody malleable, and we've had too damn malleable presidents in my lifetime. It's time we got somebody up there willing to stand his ground and fight the fight until it's over, and bring home the win and not Trump.
RUSH: Well, I think you're right. I think Jimmy Carter was being serious. I mean, Jimmy Carter's not trying to be funny. He doesn't know how to be funny. Has Jimmy Carter ever tried to be funny? He was being dead serious. He's over there in the House of Aristocrats, and he's out there saying what he doesn't like about Trump and what he likes about Trump and doesn't like about Cruz. (paraphrased) "Cruz is rock solid, right-wing. We're not gonna change Cruz min. He's committed.
"But Trump, he's malleable. We can work with Trump. I would much prefer Trump over Cruz." That makes total sense if you're Jimmy Carter, that you would be petrified of a committed Reagan conservative. You'd be scared to death! I mean, Jimmy Carter basically is the failure he is because of Ronaldus Magnus. It makes perfect sense that he would want somebody walking in the shadows and the shoes of Ronaldus Magnus to lose. I think that's one of the greatest endorsements Cruz could have gotten.
By the way, did you see, folks, that the Nobel Committee has been advised that Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize? Well, so was I. I was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. When was this? It might have been 2007 or 2008. The Landmark Legal Foundation nominated me for the Nobel Peace Prize. I was officially nominated. It was a real deal. That would be 2007-2008. That was the year Obama won it. I think it was the year Obama won it.
Obama won the peace prize on the come -- and they have said that if they could, they'd take it back, because he's been a war president. He's not been a pacemaker. He has not stopped wars. (interruption) Okay, 2007 is when it was. Donald Trump's in august company now. He also has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Anyway, Greg, thanks for the call. I appreciate it.

Yeah, this is BS.
I just popped Enlightened1 [Trumpkin] for posting TWO stories that had just been posted within the last 2 hours.
Yeah, I know, you're a Cruzer and I'm a Trumpkin.
You Cruzers got to police your side of the aisle, and I guess we got to start policing our own side.
I just fired the first two shots on my side:

LOL! Post #27 on BOTH threads! coinkydoink
Most Cruz supporters are just reporting on Trump burning himself down. Therein lies the difference.
Oh Kaslin - you’da guy!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maybe Kaslin won’t be offended by you calling her a “guy”.
Cater endorses Trump for Republican nominee because Trump is in Carter’s words, “completely malleable” In may words, “blown by the winds” of opportunity, profit, power and personal gain. Cater is right, Trump is as fluid as water and Cruz is as fixed as a rock. But Jimmy likes the fluid guy.
Harding was one of our better presidents. He was more successful in cutting back big government than even Reagan was, and he successfully fought a depression.
As a woman, everywhere I and my female friends eat or drink, we are always referred to, at least by females waiting on us, "Are you guys ready to order!"
I'll back up and state, "Kaslin, youda person!"
“da guy” ... in the non-gender-specific sense, of course. ;-)
MORE great news for Senator Cruz!
Cruz is having a terrific week!
You really want to DRIVE THE POINT HOME.

Only the good die young. So Jimmy Carter will probably live to be 110.
Fair enough.
Whose your pick for worst besides Clinton, Carter, and Obama? Just curious.
Yea, I've been avoiding the usual sources i.e. talk radio.
Most of the hosts seem to have chosen a favorite which makes them pretty worthless to listen to. I don't want to hear cheerleading and bashing for hours on end.
As I said on another thread, Trump needs to shut his pie hole on Cruz and stick to a positive message.
Cruz needs to stop trying to be the insult comic as he's not good delivering a joke.
This Rubio surge is going to be interesting to watch play out.
Right up there with Obozo, Clinton, Carter, I would say Herbert Hoover, Woodrow Wilson, James Garfield, Franklin Pierce, John Quincy Adams, for starters. Fiji Hill is right. Harding promised and delivered a “return to normalcy” after the evils of Wilson, made reduction of building battleships seem both sensible and a great savings to taxpayers (5:5:3) by treaty guaranteeing British and American mastery of the seas. He had crooks in his cabinet like Albert Fall at Interior but no one has ever successfully laid the corruption on Harding. He also chose Calvin Coolidge as VPOTUS.
