While EE is no Rush, time might exonerate EE on this point, at least to a degree.

I guess the degree is whether an ousted Trump leaves behind a new boldness in the remaining candidates.

Is the so-call Trump Effect about the issues (not yet policies) he's putting front and center that the other candidates would otherwise have run away from, or is it the "tone" of no-nonsense non-PC non-apologetic back-at-you engagement, or both, that has people energized?

If the remaining candidates revert back to focus-group tested safe pablum that moves and excites nobody, then the terrorists will have won.

You think you are refuting me, but actually you are making the very point I have made...which is that the truth of Trump is somewhere between what EE is saying and what Rush has said. The good you point out above is something I've acknowledged from day one. I also point out his liberal reflexes, which he clearly still has, but to little avail to most.

So again, this would be "the degree" to which I think EE will be proven wrong....he doesn't seem willing to acknowledge that above. But the degree to which EE is right, are Trump's liberal reflexes, which Rush has almost totally ignored or excused or downplayed.

I would add this too: David Limbaugh was published and on Hannity talking about his major qualms with Trump. That was the day after a major Breitbart piece talked about EE's gauntlet to Rush. AND GUESS WHAT? Rush's Friday show did not mention Trump at all in the first two segments...and the first mention was taking to an anti Trump caller. Coincidence? There's no such thing. My theory? David was trying to gently reign in Rush on Trump.....
