So... I’ve been sitting here listening to Rush’s podcast and as I near the end of it... All I can say is that I’m uh... I can’t even describe how I’m feeling. The last few days we’ve seen the establishment sucking up to Trump, and Trump - acknowledging that fact - sucking up right back to them (especially on Ethanol). At the same time, Trumps been attacking and lying about an actual conservative in a fashion right out of the left’s playbook - and he’s been doing it so well that if he had a “D” next to his name the Democrat party would be proud.
What do we hear from Rush about it? Nothing. Maybe a very brief - if you blinked you would’ve missed it - reference to it. What we got instead was a 3 hour foray into the abstract. It was like I was listening to a high brow, 10,000 ft view, political science or philosophy lecture. What was the big theme? I’m not sure what his point was, but whatever it was, he seem to think it was profound (as if he had made a new discovery). If I had to quantify it - some folks who think they are conservative are really not (and don’t even understand what it really means). Wow! Who knew?
If Rush’s new discovery wasn’t mind blowing enough - he had happy nice things to say about Palins endorsement. Here we are in the midst of the Donald going all establishment, crony capitalist on us on one side. On the other side, we Rush laying out how Palin has been a champion of conservatism over the years, but yet her endorsement of Trump is perfectly reasonable.
You know this isn’t the first time Rush have gotten lost in abstraction. I’ve listen him do in often over the years. But it seems to me, that over the last six month, these little trips into the weeds have conveniently occurred at same time the Donald has been exposing who he really is. And each time it’s happened, Rush has briefly soft peddled the media buzz about Trump, so he can get right into spending serious time delving into his next big theory.
Well; for what it is worth, I have always believed that Rush is a charter member of the Republican establishment. JMHO
You notice that too! I listen to Mark Levin daily because he doesn’t soft peddle when Trump gets it wrong. With Rush I can listen to an hour and switch him off. Its like he doesn’t want to upset the trumpsters by criticizing him
Shameless idolatry of Cruz supporters is noticeable in that no matter what is pointed out to them, the idol worshipers never respond to the substance they merely attack the message

I think it’s great that Rush doesn’t devote his entire show to trashing Trump. You want Trump trash, listen to Beck & Levin...they are pathetic peddlers of hatred for Trump with zero criticizm of Cruz.
What you should have been feeling was how duped you were by the lie that Cruz is anti-establishment. Sarah Palin told you at the end of the text:
"That's why they've been bloating budgets. It's for crony capitalists to be able suck off of them. It's why we see these lousy trade deals that gut our industry for special interests elsewhere. We need someone new, who has the power, and is in the position to bust up that establishment to make things great again. It's part of the problem. His candidacy - - which is a movement. It's a force; it's a strategy. It proves as long as the politicos get to keep their titles, and their perks, and their media ratings, they don't really care who wins elections," as long as they get to maintain what they've got now.She's not wrong.
She's more right about that even she may know.
END TRANSCRIPT
The Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, is equally membered with Republicans and Democrats that plot behind closed doors to allow the Donner Class to dictate the future of the duped serfs they control. Ted Cruz is owned by the GOP Elite and Wall Street money with his handler wife a member of the CFR.
This is far more pervasive than your petty beef that Trump is not a true Conservative.
Wake up and Make America Great Again. Vote Trump 2016!
Thoughts?
Here is my take and Rush is always misunderstood. Rush often does not take sides and he shouldn't. That is part of his brilliance. He knows his audience is all over the place, so why annoy them. You mistake an observation as an endorsement of sorts? Why? He is explaining why Trump is popular through Palin's speech. It's very simple and nothing complicated about it. He did not say he is advocating Trump. He is merely observing and some folks get really confused by his observing vs. endorsing. If you listened carefully to his program today, he explained very clearly and at length that he is not pro-Trump and neither is he anti-Trump. He is merely commenting on what is occurring on the campaign trail.
Rush is one of the few commentators who actually thinks his audience has a certain amount of brain cells. He does not need to advocate anyone. That is not his job. His job is to comment on what happens and he did that most brilliantly.
Rush has been asked by callers who he thinks is the most conservative candidate. The answer is Cruz and he didn't waste a second in answering. He did criticize Trump for how he attacked Cruz, but he didn't criticize Trump for attacking Cruz. Again, that is not his job. If Rush sat in front of the golden EIB microphone and droned on about how Trump attacked Cruz and it isn't fair, his show would be a goner. That is how many other hosts conduct their show and it is boring, predictable and I learn nothing.
Rush will comment on whether the attack was effective and perhaps, why it was done, but will not be so common as to suggest if Trump should have done so. That is for his listeners to decide.
We will never know who Rush will vote for in the Florida primary, but my guess is that it will be either Cruz or Trump, but we will never know for certain, just how it should be.
Did he use too many big words for you?
In her speech, Sarah lists numerous problems that the people of America have been wanting fixed for a long time. She sees the District of Columbia as a money pit doing nothing but lining their pockets and putting the needs of America in the dumpster. Trump knows the system and has even fed the blood suckers himself in order to jump the regulative hurdles they throw at builders like himself. And, I know how these blood suckers operate because my father was a building contractor. All it does is make them more greedy. Trump knows their number and how they do zer0 for the American people.
