LOL. After sucking up to Trump for six months and unofficially endorsing him.
Too bad that lefty draft dodging p&$$y trump is conning so many.
One can't keep pushing the "anti-Establishment" thing and expect that people aren't going to notice that one is Establishment oneself.
Establishment isn't simply the opposite of conservative. It refers to insider connections.
If you went to Princeton and Harvard Law, worked in corporate law, politics, and government, and have ties to investment banking, like Ted Cruz (or if you spent years in Washington think-tanks or journalism, like Rich Lowry), it's best to not to try to play the anti-elitist card.
You are taking Rush’s whole comment out of content. Just like the main stream media picking and choosing sound bites without listening to the whole premises of his statement.
A candidate’s conservatism is meaningless if they can’t get elected
“Conservative” means Nothing. 95% of the traitorous scum in the Republican party call themselves “Conservatives”.
-— This is the closest in our lifetimes we have ever been to Ronald Reagan. -—
Beck, Levin and Rush. What’s up, Hannity?
I guess my problem this cycle is that it’s not my only priority. Defeating the GOPe(elected and un-elected pundits), Doner Class, RAT’s, and Media elites is a very high priority for me this year. That trumps (no pun intended) conservative thoroughbred (which Cruz is) for me. Love Cruz, but I don’t think he can win the General. Would love to be proven wrong and will happily vote for him if he’s the nominee. I’m leaning toward joining the middlefinger to all the aforementioned vote on SEC Tue at this point.
The federal governments constitutionally limited powers are my priority.
Somebody please send me a message the first time that Rush mentions Congresss constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
I’ll take Cruz or Trump before ANY of the rest.
As long as we slay the beast I don’t give a sh!t at this point who wins.
“Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all, slap a moratorium on Muslim immigration, bomb the hell out of ISIS, cut the taxes, cut the spending, cut the regulations, cut the government, cut the bad trade deals, cut the political correctness crap, bring back capital, bring back manufacturing, bring back jobs, get the economy back on track, rebuild the military so no one messes with us and make America great again!”

Trump won last night with Every demographic, Cruz won the Fundamentalist.
It became clear several weeks ago Trump will back the establishment insider because that’s what he is. He’s already proven this with the Bush’s now it’s Rafael Cruz or even Rubio.
Like the rest of D.C., they simply do not want an outsider like Trump.
...and if conservatism isn’t the answer, it was a stupid question.
I don’t really know what that meant. However, if conservatism is not fundamentally correct, then we might as well start redistributing wealth and culturally evolve. If private property, government restraint, state’s rights, self-defense, and religious liberty are negotiable in the least, then they’re also expendable. It means our conservatism is a personal preference not a recognition of reality. Our preferences have no more validity than Bernie Sanders’.
The founders were not much interested in personal preferences, they based their argument, rebellion, and founding on ‘self evident’ truths.
In a perfect world Ted Cruz is the best of the lot. But this ain’t no perfect world. The democrats would paint him as such a televangelist right wing extremist that we would have President Hillary Clinton. Trump may not be perfect but give him a chance and we’ll be on the road to greatness again.
I’m interested in the person who can do the most to forward a nationalist-conservative agenda. At this point, I believe that’s Donald Trump.
Electability and charm matter. Teddy has neither.
And gop-e water carriers like el rushbo bore me. He jumped the shark in 08. Breaking news this ain’t.
I’m sure glad Rush came along today to tell all of you what to think and how to vote.
If the butthurt is this strong here today, I can’t wait to see it after SC.
Conservatism to me is:
Small limited government (Return Fed govt to Constitutional barriers/return rights back to states)
Upholding and following the Constitution
Godly values and principles
Pro-Life
Pro 2nd Amendment
Belief in America and American values
Pro-Military
Pro-Israel
Anti-war, but recognizing it may be necessary to fight the evils that threaten our national security
Anti-Islam
Anti-Nation Building
Anti-Global Warming/Climate Change
Equal rights for everyone, no special rights for specific groups (race, creed, religion, sexual preference)
Marriage between man and woman
To name just a few...
And the one who most closely and consistently aligns with those values, is Ted Cruz.
So Rush is defending why he likes Rubio?
Rubio only memorizes lines and cannot think on his feet.
When Christy called out Rubio, he short circuited, repeated the same lines 3 more times. Thus, validating what Christy was saying that Rubio is a sock puppet that can’t think on his feet. He only memorizes lines.
