I get the distinct impression that Rush was pulling for Cruz, though he made a point not to make it to overt.
I haven't listened to him in years, but today I turned on the radio for a little while. Rush was discussing how utterly vile people treated Cruz in this campaign, and he opined that it was not warranted or deserved.
Rush nailed it in my opinion. What was done to Cruz was just vile. It was just wicked.
But I think Rush realized a long time ago that Trump would make a powerful candidate in the General election. Trump puts New York into play, and possibly a lot of other New England states that normally don't support a Republican.
Trump will bring a fight to Hillary in every state. He's going to fry her like bacon. Perhaps she will even stroke out.
What was done to Cruz?
I think Cruz did himself in, with his dirty politics.
