Everyone on this thread should know that Rush has described Trump as a friend and golfing buddy. I think he has been doing a good job of keeping the friendship out of the commentary. He’s been eminently fair with all the candidates throughout the primaries, I think.
People, listen: I like Donald Trump a lot. But he does say some eminently screwy things at times. It’s part of who he is. Rush has made light of some of his more egregious statements, as he has praised or criticized ALL the candidates.
The problem for Rush, of course, is that he has a three-hour daily show. Those of us who listen to the whole thing know he has been very fair throughout this crazy process. People who tune in for a 10-minute segment where he’s praising or criticizing some candidate think that’s the whole of his thinking. The ever-shorter American attention span is not a fit for Rush’s thoughtful, hours-long, stream of consciousness.
I welcome your comments. I haven’t seen a lot of favorable ones this campaign season. I understand where you are coming from, because I’ve seen him take a long time to explain something and folks didn’t get it.
I know what you mean.
You pretty well described it. I listen to Rush 3 hours a day every day while on the ranch. Not much else to do when your counting cows and checking wells. While he’s never said who he prefers he has said there is one true conservative in the race and he’s said it several times. That would be Cruz.
Well said, and “Dittos.”
