I know from the comments section many people have discussed how bizarre the recent ravings of Rush Limbaugh have become. However, I had not spent time listening to them, until this happened.
As far as I can tell this was actually broadcast by Rush Limbaugh yesterday. To say he’s contracted a viral strain of election cycle cognitive dissonance would be a severe understatement. Listen to this logic:

As far as I can tell this was actually broadcast by Rush Limbaugh yesterday. To say he’s contracted a viral strain of election cycle cognitive dissonance would be a severe understatement. Listen to this logic:
If Ted Cruz wants to win he’s got to focus exclusively on attacking Trump. Why? Because Cruz has to realize Marco Rubio is not going to drop out. If Rubio is not going to drop out, Rubio is not the obstacle – Trump is…
See if you can follow this logic. Marco Rubio is not going to leave the race, therefore it is the better course to attack the stronger frontrunner because, well, according to the Limbaugh logic, Trump winning in all the contests must mean he is positioned to leave the race – or something.
Seriously, this is what Rush Limbaugh is presenting to his audience. This makes absolutely ZERO sense. This is completely nonsensical. This is epic level moonbattery.
What makes Limbaugh think Donald Trump, a candidate who has won three consecutive resounding victories, is less disposed to staying in the presidential race than a freshman senator who has won absolutely no primary contests?
…And if Trump is no less committed to exit, then how does it make more sense to spend time trying to eliminate the stronger of the two candidate options?
We have heard rumors there are times when ineffective “gaslighting” can lead to absolutely insane expressions of logic. It would appear this rumor is profoundly true.
People pay this guy to hear this stuff?

There’s on gaping hole in your argument.....I have read his drivel. Several dozen articles actually.
Don’t you think if someone had listened to Limbaugh several dozen times they’d have a pretty good idea of where the man stands?
To: Fantasywriter
Every time he posts some nonsense on FR.

You defend Sundance only because he's in the tank for your god.

Rush is quite sophisticated in his political analysis.Indeed, and I wish more people would realize it is analysis rather than him choosing sides or endorsements.

Sundance boldly claimed that Jeb was the only candidate who could mount a challenge to Trump, and that Jeb’s non-existent Iowa ground game was “where the action is”.

Haha. That’s pathetic. Rush read an entire article to his audience, and you have no idea why.
It must be another, ‘At this point, what difference does it make?’ situation.

Wow, wow, wow! Your wife canât post articles without asking your permission first? Iâm not so sure I would be admitting that.LOL...for the record, she's only asked me to post a thread for her a few times over the past 18 years. Truth be told, we'd likely have that "discussion", and then I'd post the thread. lol
She has pretty good judgment, save for when she married me.

When Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he replied that he robbed banks because that is where the money is.
Similarly, if Cruz is going to attack another candidate to gain voters, it makes much more sense to attack Trump, because that is where the voters are. Even if Cruz destroyed Rubio and picked up half of his support, it would not be enough to hang with Trump.
If Trump is running 40% in a crowded field, he will be over 50% in the winnowed field, in which case, everything else is moot.

Funny thing is...
Obamugabe has pegged his legacy on “Fixing the national health-care crisis [sic]” via ObamaCare. The uni-party has approved!
Trump appears to peg his legacy on protecting our borders and building employment from within. The uni-party is non-plus.
In today’s politics, one-trick ponies have validation.
