RUSH: In terms of substance? I disagree with Chris Wallace. I think there was substance in this debate last night, and depending on what you want -- depending on what you were hoping to see and then what you think going forward -- there's really only one candidate in this debate last night which was chock-full of genuine policy-oriented substance, and that was Cruz. And I happen to know, folks...
I hear from people constantly, as you can imagine, and I hear from you even on the phones. But there have been people during the entirety of this campaign who think that Trump is a pretender, that he really doesn't know much about what all this is about, that he's getting by on the cult of celebrity and other things in our pop culture that people get excited by and attach to. There have been people who say, "We've gotta expose Trump. Trump's gotta be exposed. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't know conservatism.
"He doesn't know policy. He's just up there saying things that sound good in a populist sense." So what Cruz did last night was essentially expose that. If that's what you think needs and has needed to happen, Cruz did it last night. And probably the best way to illustrate how it happened is, one of the fears that a lot of anti-Trump people have is he's not really even a Republican. And they keep talking about all of his donations to people like Chuck Schumer and the Clintons.
Trump's response was, "Hey, look, you know, I live in New York City and they run the show there, and I'm in business, and there are certain things you have to do to get things done. You have to work with these people. But I'm a Republican." And he's made it clear, and he's tried to make that point over and over again. But Trump found last night Ted Cruz illustrating that. (summarized) "Look, if you think we have to beat Hillary Clinton, Trump's not the guy to do it. Trump cannot go out and hit Hillary Clinton on any of the things that she has done, any of her corruption, because he has contributed to her.
"He has donated. All that would have to happen," Cruz says, "is for Trump to hit Hillary in the debate and Hillary, and all she's gotta do is say, 'Donald, I don't know what your problem is. You donated to me to do this exact thing. So I don't know what your problem is now.'" And Cruz said, "We can't nominate somebody who donated to her." It's akin to the people that said we shouldn't nominate Romney. "If we nominate Romney, there's no way we can get Obama on Obamacare because Romney invented it in Massachusetts.
"Romney gave us Romneycare, and the guy that wrote Romneycare then turned around and wrote Obamacare," and it took Obamacare off the table as far as Romney's concerned. He couldn't hit it because there's a retort, "What do you mean you don't like Obamacare? You wrote its father. You implemented and signed into law its father, Romneycare. What are you?" And Cruz's point was that same set of circumstances with Hillary are going to occur.
Because it can be demonstrated that Trump's donations to the Clintons over the years -- including to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation -- have facilitated political move that Hillary Clinton has made. So the people who have wanted Trump exposed, that was pretty substantively done by Cruz. On the Rubio side, what Rubio did was literally just laugh at Trump all night, literally made fun of him, mock him. Not act frightened or afraid of him, and not be worried about ticking off his supporters, either.
A first for both.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
This kind of stuff worries me. It seems irrational and vindictive, but the reality is, being President is a full time job, if you are doing it right. And “suing for lots of money” should not be the goal of pushing for legislation.
Just a thought.
No child of foreign nationals is a natural born citizen of the US.
Rubio and Cruz think they should get away with it because Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama got away with it.
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
Perhaps Rubio can explain his healthcare plan and how the uninsurable are going to get coverage? Should be simple enough.
Pray America wakes

It’s over for Limbaugh too.
Amnesty is OK when Donald does it because . . . well because!
Rather than respond and turn over the requested documents, Trump University agreed to cease doing business in Texas.
Later that year, Trump University stopped operations altogether."…
Thanks again, CW. If this doesn't concern and open the eyes of even the die hard Trump supporters, it will be a shame.
Nice lie.
Which DC -WS masked whore are you promoting at this hour .
That talking point is old .
“It’s over for Limbaugh too.”
I’m sure he’s worried. Ha.
Limbaugh, unlike, Trump actually has money.
Besides, Ted Cruz, I'm sorry to say is toast. He's all but endorsed Marco Rio today.
Many of the Trump/Cruz supporters are anti-establishment voters. Cruz should have been going after establishment candidates such as Marco Rubio instead of attacking a candidate whose voters would have easily moved over to his side.
Now Cruz is galvanizing those anti-establishment Trump supporters against ever crossing over ESPECIALLY after his comment today Marco Rubio would make a better President than anti-establishment Donald Trump.
That tin foil birther cap has cut off the oxygen to your brain.
Compare and contrast Trump and Rush's private life... You tell me which one has more divorces and marriages... Rush has said that he would not run for office because that would require him to take a pay cut... Back when KennedyCare was getting rammed down our throats, ol Rush said he was looking for property in New Zealand. Got a news flash for you Rush in his wildest dreams has attempted to be a DJTrump.
The only reference I have ever hear Rush make to the Creator is ... talent on loan from GAWD... God has pulled that talent.
“Donald Trump closed the deal today in Ft Worth with an assist from Christie and Pastor Jeffers. Its over Rush except for the weeping.”
Rush pre Christie announcement vs Rush post, was a very different Rush.
He had the rug yanked. I had to tune out so don’t know if he managed to cobble together some kind of coherent tack later in the show.
Your getting your DC establishment propaganda mix up so go back and get reprogrammed .
Trump’s response was, “Hey, look, you know, I live in New York City and they run the show there, and I’m in business, and there are certain things you have to do to get things done.”
Well, do the Koch brothers get things done? Do thy give a lot of money to Democrats?
Does George Soros get things done? (Bad things.) Does he give a lot of money to Republicans?
I suffer NOT from the delusions sent by the Almighty.... need a Scripture citation? Yes, God said for those who need to believe a lie He would send strong delusions.
The article poster, Cincinatus' Wife, of course - did NOT reply. :)
It’s over for Limbaugh too.
I could only wish!!! What has that flaming a-hole done for the conservative movement in 30 years???? NOTHING!!!! Got rich and run his suck hole 3 hours a day and carried water for every simp ass republican that comes down the line....He was so good between 1988 and 1992....Thought the world of him! now, not so much.
:)
Gee , do DC establishment trolls just lie now .
How would you know troll anything about Trump?
