On Wednesday during his radio program Rush Limbaugh responded to a caller claiming Ted Cruz is not an outsider and is “buddying up” with the establishment.
Limbaugh clarified to the caller that Cruz is not the hypocrite – the establishment is.
Listen to the full clip here:
Below are some excerpts from the transcript:
RUSH: I just saw there's a caller on line calling me delusional?
CALLER: I think, sadly, what you all fail to realize is that perpetually you're painting Ted Cruz as an outsider. He paints Ted Cruz as an outsider. The Tea Party tried to paint him as an outsider. Yet I'm gonna read you five names: Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, Jeb exclamation, exclamation, exclamation point, Bush, Nikki Haley. How much more insider can you get than this, okay?
RUSH: . . .This is the same stuff that happened with Reagan. I have to tell you, Clay, it's exact same stuff that happened with Reagan. They didn't like Reagan in '76. They didn't like Reagan in 1980. They tried to stop Reagan in both campaigns.
When Reagan won in 1980 they had no choice, and then when Reagan proved to be two landslides popular, all of those people that supposedly hated him couldn't wait to be standing next to him every time a photo was taken. They were the hypocrites, not Reagan. And Cruz is not the hypocrite here. What's he supposed to do, stand up and say, "Sorry, Governor Bush, but I don't believe you. I don't believe you really want me to win. So I would appreciate it if you would endorse someone --" is that what you want him to do Clay?

Doesn’t mean that that the the Trump people out there.
Rush has become such a tool. It’s sad to see. At least he says he’ll vote for Trump if he’s the nominee...all the while doing everything he can to undermine the man every day for three hours, all the while claiming no bias.
Omg that spin!!!!!!
BwhahahahahAHAHAhahahaha!!!!!!
Outside of GGG, I can’t wait to see how many Cruz gopers buy this.
Now I realize why I stopped listening to talk radio years ago. They love to blow so much smoke up your rears like this.
It means they are pragmatists. Too little too late for Cruz I think.
With Trump winning it proves that Talk Radio and the Establishment are irrelevant.
Pray America wakes
Cruz is establishment ... member of the RNC “new guard” since 2012.

No... it just means that Conservatives are fooled.
The Establishment is only Conserving Tyranny.
If you (and Rush) spin any faster, you’ll achieve lift off.
Conservatism is winning but Ted won’t
I see no evidence that Cruz is a “conservative”.
Cruz is landslide popular, the party hacks have no choice but to embrace the conservative!
Unfortunately, Ted is not.
