Rush Limbaugh today criticized Donald Trump for his attacks on Ted Cruz, but upon being informed the media thinks he turned on Cruz, Limbaugh insisted he did no such thing.
In case you missed it, after Trump called Cruz a "mania" yesterday who can't get anything done in Congress, Limbaugh today criticized him for echoing the establishment. He said, "Any of you who are holding out hope that Trump is a genuine conservative... a genuine conservative would not go after Cruz this way."
Well, during his show, Limbaugh founds out the media already picked up his criticism. He clarified, "I haven’t turned on anybody. I haven't thrown anybody away. I haven't announced support for anybody."
He insisted he was just disappointed and asking a question about Trump's attack on Cruz "because it sounded like the same kind of criticism we would get from the establishment Republicans."
Limbaugh did muse over whether Trump would turn on him next, but figured it wouldn't happen.
For what it's worth, Limbaugh wasn't nearly as restrained in his criticism as Mark Levin was later in the day.
Thanks for the link. I still feel the same way. If a black student is admitted to a college or university, we would presume that he qualified to be admitted. Why suggest he would be happier at a lesser school? And believe me, I am against affirmative action. Does that include admitting students who can’t qualify?
Sorry to break your heart, but I'm a Trump fan.
I'm also a fan of the truth. And not afraid to admit even when it hurts my cause.
And I know no man is perfect. Just trying to take this crazy election one controversy at a time.
Rush Limbaugh loves money.
Rush Limbaugh makes every decision based on protecting his income.
When pushed, Rush Limbaugh lacks the "Sacred Honor" his father`s speech invoked.
He remains safely ensconced behind the golden EIB microphone. Never risking anything.
Trump = McCain? Really?
lol
Of course.
The Morning Consult poll released on the 8th, Dec matches the same 41% support for Trump.

Of course it means admitting students who would not otherwise qualify. That’s the point. This is quota driven engineering of outcome by admitting some students of a given race who would not otherwise match up against other students of a different race who have better credentials.
Trump was responding to Cruz’s comments about Trummp being unfit. This was caught on mike in a meeting with donors. Don’t give up on Trump.
Nothing in an audio tape, certainly not something as mild as what Cruz said, is going to change that fact.
Yes he did, didn't he?
*swoon*
That's my Rush.
Rubio. Hmmm? Methinks I smell the GOPe establishment hands in this spoof! I think that Limbaugh could favor the establishments perspective. Knowing that none of the establishment guys have a snowflakes chance in heck, they get Cruz & Rubio to have a faux immigration tiff. Now they put up Cruz to attack the leader. Hoping to peel support off the Donald, make him see Cruz is not the person he thought. Then if the establishment succeeds they offer Rubio for President & Cruz for VP. Cruz may have been offered the first spot, but that won’t happen. Establishment won’t let that happen.
I think I like Rush, for the most part, because I agree with him. If I could be told what to think that easily, I’d just be following along with the msm like everyone else.
I don’t care for Beck (I even think he may be a little unstable), and I don’t really listen to Levin. I’ve heard him once or twice, but for some reason his style grates on my nerves.
Trump attacks Cruz that way because it's all he's got.
Poor Donald.... as I said long ago, when it gets down to Donald and Ted,, it’s going to be like Cruise and Nicholson in “A Few Good Men†- will just wait for Donald to blow.
I think you may be a little ahead of yourself there cowboy. You mouth is writing checks cruz will never be able to cash.
Agree entirely with your take there. Rush seems like one of us. Love listening to him.
Glenn Beck is an outright nut case who I tried in 2008 and gave up on fast. And while I agree 100% with Levin’s opinions, listening to that constant nervous screech just brings me down.
Levin is a phony, as is Ted Cruz.
Every time I turn on Rush he seems to be selling Apple products and boring me even further with golf discussion.
If that is what he meant and what he was referring to, he did not explain it well at all. That’s not the way I read it in my head and it came across to me as condescending. As you explain it, I agree.
