As much as I like Trump, I don’t know that he’s got the keen edge that Rush had to be on-the-fly incisive, and the expansive vocabulary empowering him to well-command his analyses and opinions.

NOT that Trump wouldn’t be a decent fill-in on occasion; I just don’t know that his toolset equips him to be that “on” for three hours at a time.
