Rush: Cruz In 'Different League,' On 'Different Planet’ Than Other Candidates
The Daily Wire News ^ | 3-7-2016 | Amanda Prestigiacomo

Posted on 03/07/2016 5:44:46 PM PST by Aquamarine

On Sunday night, conservative talk radio powerhouse Rush Limbaugh sang the praises of Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz, calling him “trustworthy,” “likable,” a true conservative and “in a different league, on different planet” when it comes to substance.

Limbaugh has previously deemed the Texas senator the most conservative of the entire Republican presidential field, even calling him the “closest in our lifetimes we have ever been to Ronald Reagan.” During his quick interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace, Limbaugh reinforced this sentiment after Wallace — who has had a few testy exchanges with Cruz in the past — challenged that previous comparison of Cruz to Reagan.

"I think he has the ability to appeal to everybody,” replied Limbaugh, after conceding that Cruz has “limited his appeal” via his tailored message. “That debate the other night that you guys did — I don't mean this to be insulting to anybody, I'm just telling you what I saw — he was on a different league. He was in a different league, on a different planet. Everybody says ‘we need substance in these debates,’ you got it. You got it from Cruz. The other guys are doing what they were doing. At one point, [Donald] Trump even had to say, ‘Yeah, whatever Ted said, I agree with.’ He's in a different league.”

Seems to me I remember him saying the same about Rubio when he was running for the Senate.

Yay! Cruz might be able to get The United States of North Juarez to cut taxes.

Yea that is why he can’t win more than two primary states.
Can’t win a single county in some southern states.
Loses in most demographics.

What is really exciting to me about Cruz is he does not use his minority status to seek any favors.

Could you imagine a Democrat not keeping to the line about ‘being a minority, I will bring minorities to the voting booth.

To be honest, I did not hear Carson trumpet it either. Don’t know about Rubio.

Finally Rush seems like he’s detected the fraud of the NYC Values candidate.

He should have been saying these things 2 months ago.

Past Canadian citizenship generally counts for little outside of the NHL.
