His tenor has been less supportive over the last 90 days and got sharper this week. It will continue to become more harsh. Cruz first and/or Rubio is his choice. More and more negativism will come out against Trump. Cruz and to an extent Rubio will be glossed over or indirectly supported. Or Trump may get the McCain treatment of 2000.

I don't see it working against the Trumpster,he handles all of them so well they will wind up losing.

Part of a primary is the various candidates trying to explain where they differ one from another or even to attack the positions and comments of their rivals. It is natural, and the way it’s always been every four years.

To that end, it doesn’t bother me when Cruz exaggerates Trumps statements or Trump goes after Cruz or Rubio saying Cruz can’t speak Spanish or any other thing they say. We can certainly learn and correct the record as things are exposed.

What does bother me is FReeper attacking FReeper as dumb, droolers, mean-spirited, Holier-than-thou, etc., etc.

Other than that, even I have to put on my big boy pants and learn to roll with the punches. So in that regard, Rush doesn’t bother me. Levin, on the other hand, likes to attack those who favor Trump, not just Trump.

Anyway, remember Muskie crying in New Hampshire in the snow in 1972? He never overcame that. Maybe Trump will have such an episode, who knows?

It's not about whether Trump can move the message past the hosts. My point is how they've dealt with him since his announcement last summer. All were fawning over him because they saw it as hurting the establishment candidates. And it did. But I believe,even they didn't see Trump being where he is today. So while they fueled the fire last summer and fall, they the fire now had gotten out of control. Rush is the last of the majors to do a full out assault against Trump, although he's been amping it up. I think Monday you'll see even more negative and spinning. Eventually he'll be like he was with McCain in 00 and 08 and Romney in 12, pushing against them. He'll do the same with Trump.

Sure, he won't announce an "endorsement", but there will be a strong push on Cruz primarily and Rubio as sort of a dark horse. But all with deniability. For Rush and the other hosts, Trump has done their dirty work. The just don't know how to turn him off.

But watch, Rush will continue to get uglier and uglier with stories aimed at hurting Trump.
