I have not heard Rush declaring for any of those running to be the Republican Party nominee for President. I heard him yesterday and his statement about Rubio was NOT a political endorsement, but that Rubio is, as a person, a ‘nice guy.’
If Rush or anyone else is complimentary of a politician you don’t like, based upon him being acquainted with that politician, you are running a pretty narrow set of evaluation criteria.
The interesting thing I’ve noticed the last few months here in FR, is that a number of posters take any kind/polite comment about a Republican candidate for president, means that the speaker is endorsing that person to be elected and then everyone who doesn’t like him/her gets blasted.
The title of this thread says Rush said Rubio is a full throated conservative.
Rubio and his gang of 8 are no such thing.
