They all should have taken a lesson from Rush, who does his best to steer clear of giving the appearance that he favors one candidate over another.
He may fail to convince us that he’s impartial sometimes, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him go so far out on a limb for a candidate, that it broke clean off.
That is why I think that it is so funny when people claim that Rush has been trashing their candidate. As you said he often goes out of his way to avoid giving the impression that he favors one conservative candidate over another. There are times when it is impossible for him to not make an observation that isn't complimentary.
You must have missed the show where he went off on a Trump supporter, that it was embarrassing...to him! And I shan’t ever listen to him again, until November, so I can enjoy hearing him cry, when Trump wins.
