Unlike most who hang around here Rush never bothered to work on a political campaign, volunteer or otherwise. He never contributed to candidates (his admission).
He didn’t bother registering to vote until he was 37, meaning that he never voted for Ronald Reagan despite having had two chances to have done so.
From the timeline it appears that Rush’s involvement in politics developed only when he found a way to make money from it, financial success being his consuming passion. I’m sure he that believes in the positions he takes, he just wasn’t interested enough to bother voting or supporting them before money could be made from them.

Rush came along in the ‘Conservatism as a Business’ stage. Part of the Conservative Media/Entertainment Complex. His pals in the GOPe and the Sea Island Republicans are in the racket business.
Good post words to remember.
Caller is an idiot. Trump and his campaign are working very hard. He doesn’t just “show up” and expect votes. That’s why the Colorado GOPe tweeted “We did it, never Trump”.

Very astute observation! I fully concur.
