I believe Donald Trump's meteoric and sustained rise is a direct result of Obama's largely successful campaign to fundamentally transform America and the establishment Republicans' unwillingness to fight back.
Grassroots conservatives have wanted someone to stand up to Obama and stand up for our nation -- and they are sick and tired of Beltway politicians and pundits alike patronizingly assuring them that nothing extraordinary is occurring and to calm down. "We'll take care of it after we're re-elected." Sure.
Yes, some of these establishment, moderate or, if you prefer, unexcitable types have finally come around, belatedly acknowledging Obama's intentions but failing to admit they were slow on the uptake, much less that they're sorry for branding the rest of us who caught on years before they did as mean-spirited, extremist or kooky.
It's important to review this history, not for "I told you so" purposes, but because it's relevant to our current hotly contested GOP campaign and how we choose to go forward. It's crucial in assessing and judging Ted Cruz's actions in valiantly trying to stand up for the people against Obama's tyranny....

Nice job on the title, failing to disclose it is Rush’s less famous, less-talented (still on loan from God, but doubtless at a lower interest rate!) brother.
Right on! Right on! Right on!
Less talented? He’s a prominent attorney and syndicated columnist.
Less talented? He’s a prominent attorney and syndicated columnist.
My first thought too. Amazing level of desperation today from all corners of the Cruz camp. Laughable.
He doesn’t have 20 million weekly listeners, he didn’t single handedly save the AM dial, he hasn’t been the single most listened to radio talk show host for over 25 years running. But Rush has.
Then proudly put David Limbaugh’s name in the thread title if he is so outstanding. You insult him.
Is his last name not Limbaugh?
David is right under Been.
Doesn’t make him less talented, just makes him talented in different areas.
Too bad. The cruse is not in control.
David is my favorite Limbaugh. Good job!
Something I’ve noted of recent is that people here are now knocking Limbaugh, Stein, Levin and other radio and hosts who before Trump stepped on the stage were generally favored....now they’re suddenly the enemy. It’s like anyone and every thing that isn’t for Trump is out to get them! But then Trump thinks that as well...so....
You guys are gonna run out of conservative commentators to trash.
How dare you use his name in the title.:) You went and confused all those Trump supporters.
I would say in the general public, 99% of Americans could identify Rush Limbaugh, and perhaps 5% could identify David Limbaugh. On FR, maybe 50% would indentify David.
Using solely the last name -- Limbaugh -- leads the reader to *assume* it's Rush: with the implied prestige and cachet of political savvy which it carries.
WUZ dat "identify" or "indemnify" ? ;-)
Teradittos!
