Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Sunday that there's a "much bigger upside than downside" in the Republican presidential candidacy of real estate developer Donald Trump.

"I think with the case of Trump, there’s a much bigger upside than downside," said Limbaugh while appearing on "Fox News Sunday."

Cruz and Trump are a perfect tsunami for our team. Cruz fires up the base, Trump can attract the cross over and indy voter who normally go Democrat.

If one or the other wins, without eliminating that bridge to the other side, Nov should be the best GOP year in decades. It potentially could be better even then 1980 since we did not get the US House in 1980.

First, Cruz or Trump have to make it past this GOPe den of iniquity...

...with a certain someone groomed, ready and waiting in the wings:

“To use a sports metaphor, Trump is the lead blocker who blew a hole in the opposition line so Cruz, the ball carrier, could run thru the hole.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Actually, I see Trump as the defensive lineman who just picked off a screen pass and is “rumblin’, fumblin’, stumblin’” to an 85-yard touchdown. No one realized he could make that play or run that long.

The sports analogy I use is NASCAR racing:

Trump is the lead driver with the pack drafting him. When the second place driver attempts a pass he loses the draft and falls back.

This is sure an interesting race, that’s for sure.

[j.argese]

Actually, I wouldn’t.

“Rush seemed to be more inclined to support Cruz.”

On his radio show, Rush said that Ted Cruz would be the strongest one to fight the GOP establishment. Of course, Cruz has already proven that.

[austingirl]

Yes, Cruz has a proven record of fighting GOPe.

Thank you Jane. I was trying to think of a fitting response. It turns out, I didn’t need to. I love FReepers!

[houeto]

Hard to believe that you left out Rubio. Rush was Rubio’s lapdog!

[GregoTX]

Lol... Ok... I left out the wierdest one. Thanks.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Leaning Right.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

No denying the pent up anger and frustration at the GOPe. I’m right there with you. Good sports metaphor, by the way.

I think many of us like your analogy!

[cowboyway]

Funny how people who tell us they are the “smart” ones are so politically incompetent

You mean like Trump? Doh! Stepped in that one, didn't ya Johnnie!

BTW, why do you keep reposting JR's post? Is it some sort of veiled threat? Are you trying to say to get on the Trump wagon or else? Or else what, Johnnie?

Cause if we are forced to just draw a conclusion

Who is this "we" you're speaking of, Johnnie?
