I'm curious as to why you think this is? Cruz has just not caught on.
As far as Rush's attitude...I wonder if he thinks this whole thing with Trump is amusing? This is how I feel. It seems Trump is taking heat away from what may have been directed at Cruz. Plus, I love that Trump is, so far, taking the GOPe to the cleaners. The guy's brash, egotistical talk just makes me laugh. I don't think he'll be the nominee but I'm enjoying the heck out of the ride.
I've taken flack for my attitude from staunch Cruz proponents. Even though Cruz is my number one guy, I'm having fun watching Trump. Maybe Rush is as well?
Instincts guided by experience and a thorough and deep understanding of each man's ideology, philosophy and reflexes - and a smidgeon of inside info on the show prep process and players. I've zero doubt about this...NONE. Slam dunk.
As to catching on? Dude, it's early. Way early. And he's caught on more this week than last...and I have a bit of inside peek into his long term strategy as well.
Anyone that thinks Rush didn't dump on Trump has not been listening. He is amused that the GOPe has no clue how to counter Trump.
He just now asked for callers that don't think he is picking on anyone enough to call in.
He is totally committed to denying the Democrats another term in the Whitehouse because he feels rightly that the Republic will not survive another administration. If it takes Trump to derail them then so be it.
