Have to disagree, the last time I was able to vote my heart was for Reagan

“Rush is starting to bore me. I only read his stuff online, but I can’t get past the second paragraph anymore. Endless yammering and really saying nothing.”

I have a hard time with those transcripts. There is a difference between spoken ans written English and Rush needs to have the written version edited. I find them very hard to follow.

...moves to acceptance.

I agree.

I realize there are some who have matters of principle motivating their rejection of Trump. I have no problem with that. Each of us have to do what we think is right.

But it's pretty much over. Granted, Trump could get caught committing armed robbery, and that would change the dynamics. But something like that isn't likely at this point.

We're just waiting for the fat lady to sing. Kate Smith died. Who's the fat lady now?

It’s the establishment’s last ditch effort to discredit Trump ... it won’t work .

“Folks, it’s the most incredible thing to sit here and watch all of this. They literally despise Ted Cruz. They are beside themselves with hatred for Ted Cruz that goes beyond the rational. Except it is rational if you understand the establishment’s absolute hatred and distaste for conservatism.”

Hatred is a big motivator on the left.

A game I have stumbled upon is to talk to socialists, liberals, or moderate Republicans. I work the conversation around to saying “Ronald Reagan defeated the Soviet Union.” Then I give them my full attention and mentally record their response. It is never positive! It’s a fun game. Give it a try!

The uni-party is shifting to Trump because they know he will work with them and not against them like Cruz....

That’s why the DC cartel hates Cruz... Got to take him out....

They know they can cut deals with Trump...

The lobbyist may not buy Trump, but they will still be buying Congress...

Hilarious accusation

FOX is showcasing the National Review grouping of 100 conservatives and establishment Trump haters

And guess who is doing it for them?

Megyn Kelly and Rich Lowery

Typical

But there are 4-5 contributors that disappoint me

They must be scared

Well, the point is that the GOPe has always been: “Anybody But Cruz.”
They think Cruz will hurt their down-ballot RINOs the most.

And they’re right.
But that would be a good thing.

I don't think the establishment is in it for Trump.

IMHO, I think they are throwing fake support his way, to try to take him down by saying he IS establishment. "If you can't beat him, join him and then beat him" philosophy. Keep trying, you friggin' morons!

Rush didn’t mention that Dole said he’s a Jeb Bush fan

Apparently, today is Bash Trump Day. All the talking heads on television, radio and print have ‘splody heads.

His poll numbers must have been great today.

Nice try. We all know this is just the latest desperate attempt by Cruz and his crew to damage Trump by linking him to the GOPe.

Perhaps you’re right. I’ve never listened to him on the radio.
