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?

Rush has proven himself to be either a total fraud or virtually senile in the past year, perhaps both.
I am gobsmacked(as they say in England)that so many people, including GOPe Numero Uno Windbag Rush Limbaugh, think that Ted Cruz has a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected President of The United States. It’s not EVER going to happen. No way. No how. And at least 80% of the population knows it.
You keep thinking that Rush. I no longer buy into that which is called Conservatism. It has failed.
I don’t see how Ted Cruz, if he were the nominee, can attract the demographics to win.
How much brain power does it take to spin this garbage regarding Cruz? My God, after Rush yapped about Rubio, I was done. He showed his hand.
Cruz fans ignore this little fact. All I see are amnesty lovers lining up to prop up Teddy, because of the FACT that Trump is willing to put an end to this conga line of freaks coming in.
Cruz = amnesty - it’s THAT simple and undeniable.
Conservative is winning?? Rush man, what a sad reading of your insane spin.
The voices in your head are better?
Fail - that’s not what he said but hey, I know you’re attempting to show how educated and up to date you are!
Taking the lead from your lying Teddy, spin spin spin.
Every word of your post is spot on!!
I’m not voting for that booger eating imbecile
Wow...that was so edgy.
No, joker, I got sick of these guys selling losers like McCain and Romney, and being cheerleaders for the GOP. Telling me that electing one more GOPer would “change things”.
One more GOPe win and THIS time they will “push back”.
So THAT is why I stopped. No go run along and scream “mega dittos” at your AM radio.
>>>Cruz is landslide popular, the party hacks have no choice but to embrace the conservative!<<<
Former Cruzer here. Now I’m just concentratinng on the General Election and will support the Republican Nominee.
That being said, what States do you think Cruz will carry that Obama did in 2012? After five tries, I have yet to get any takers on this question so you may the first to answer.
I’d like to respond to your post but have to break for a commercial for a half hour.
>>>as Trump said, my supporters are low educated and low information voters...!<<<
We all know (except for the low education and low information Freepers) that Trump didn’t say what you just quoted him as saying.
You don’t quote something that the person did not say.
If you are paraphrasing, say so in your Post without the quotation marks.
Class dismissed.
The wheels on the bus go round and round!
And now you have said the two biggest words that define the differences between Cruz and Trump, being Cruz the conservative and Trump always the opportunist and ready to "make the deal".
Because why did he get in this presidential race from his own words? To win. Not to serve the people or better America (the catchy phrase came later). TO WIN....
Never better said then out of a Trumpanzee's own typed words. Thank you for explaining this.
I’ll force myself to endure Rush for one hour. If he fails to clear this up, I’ve already written a rebuttal.
Rush was ruthless to a REAL anti-establishment conservative campaign: Alan Keyes.
Double standard?
And that great conservative Rush didn't even brother to vote for Reagan.
Yes and you already know what they are so dont play stupid.
No, I dont know what conservative principles you are willing to trade in the name of reform. Why dont you tell me?
Why don’t you enlighten the rest of us?
Because I’m asking for your opinion.
U get the point.
