Want to know what Rush really thinks, then just read his brother’s (David) column.

David Limbaugh writes: I am increasingly optimistic.

Limbaugh runs up the GOPee flag, which is traditionally flown lower than a French surrender flag. :)

Nothing.

That’s why I can’t stand the MSM, they leave info out, in order to skew the view.

The GOPee branch of the Uniparty is enough to make any real American puke.

“I am increasingly optimistic.”

About what exactly??
Keeping the Ruling Class in Power??
Continuing the decimation of the Middle Class??
Destroying the very fabric of society by allowing Millions of CRIMINAL INVADERS??

You are the Problem Limbaugh.

I don't believe that many of his die-hard supporters are going to peel away from him. But I do think his antics have guaranteed that he can't extend his appeal much beyond his devoted followers.

Regardless of whether his fans here will admit it, here's the problem with Trump.

So, now we know what the National Review branch of the Democrat Party thinks.

What's AWESOME about this election is that it has thinned out the herd of commentary writers that have to be paid attention to.

Nearly all of them are Democrats, or Democrats disguised as "republicans"/"conservatives".

Free Republic and Democrat-Republican writers like David Limbaugh pay more attention to the political process than most Americans.

I submit that most people aren't paying that much attention - which will probably greatly hobble the frantic efforts of the Media DeathStar to destroy Trump.

Ted Cruz is going to be taken out at the knees by the National Enquirer with a Smoking Panties special issue about a week before the convention.

Other than being confident enough to speak straight from his heart, I'm still confused about what Trumps strengths might be.

He has some smartly written policy positions on his website, but doesn't seem to have read them.

It was demonstrated early on that neither the MSM nor the GOPe had the power to destroy Trump.

To paraphrase Staff Sgt Barnes, the only one who can destroy Trump, is Trump. I do not expect him to stop shooting himself in the foot.

Au contraire, Rush gave us another free 3 hour Trump infomercial the day before the important Wisconsin Primary!

As this is not the first time Rush has played the Trump infomercial on or before an important primary, I'm betting Rush would rather have Cruz fans in his audience turn off his program than his Trump fans.

It's worked for me, especially after hearing Rush say how terrible the Cruz fans in his audience respond to him.

I've never responded but after turning his program on yet again yesterday, only to hear his excuse making for Donald again and telling everyone how awful the Cruz fans are, I can no longer take it and will be unsubscribing from his site!

And yet, with all the primary voters who did not vote for Trump, more of them did not vote for Cruz.

Will the Cruz fans admit that?

All come from KARL MARX and the Communist Manifesto

These are MARXIST’S in their Purest form

Most Cruz supporters I've come across are realists. Why wouldn't they admit the obvious?

Just as true as the fact that the primary is only half over.

How about a record of leadership? He has successfully run a multi-national, multi-billion dollar organization for 40 years.

Before someone trots out the four bankruptcies argument, not all businesses are successful and bankruptcy is a legal avenue to winding down a business so that investors can recoup at least some of their investment.

Trump Enterprises has had many, many more successes than failures.

“..being confident enough to speak straight from his heart..”

That is sufficient for me.

It takes more than a sound bite to send a message; the MSM have forgotten that, in the rush to be the first with the news, to do a ‘gotcha’, and to skewer the candidate.

Vote Trump!

Why should it be? It took Trump nine days to say that, he did it only when pressed by the interviewer, and didn't even apologize to Heidi Cruz. He said it was a "mistake" but there's no suggestion he sees it as anything other than a political miscalculation. It amounts to nothing more than he can read the same tea leaves that everyone else can.
