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.”

It doesn’t matter to the trumpstas with trumpAID flowing through their veins who said what; if anyone dares to say anything at all against their idol or say anything favorable for one of his competitors , they will attack/disown/d@mn anyone.

68% of them will even deny God himself if He were to come down here and told us that trump is not a true conservative and that we should vote for Cruz.

FR has changed so much over the years. It seems that the majority of the 68% are here.

Many are paid to hate.

But paid by whom?

Hillary, Bernie, Trump?
It’s interesting how several signed up 8 years ago. But never posted until recently. Makes me think THE DEMO ARE ATTEMPTING TO CREATE CHAOS FOR THE CONSERVATIVES.

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

**************************************************

“Minority status”? Well, he is the only Canadian seeking the U.S. Presidency.

Ted is the #1 fear of the Dems for them to go against if he is on the ticket.

Nope. Hillary will trot out his Dominionist delusions, his father's videos (Ted the "annointed" one), his association with whacko Beck, the Wilks brothers, etc., and Ted will become a national laughing stock within a week.

His businesses pay taxes ,and support a lot of other businesses. What do you do? What does Cruz? Diddly squat.

Trump provides hundreds of jobs to Eastern European workers - not Americans - at his club. That's by his own admission.

Cruz defending our liberties and rights in front of the Supreme Court - and winning - ain't diddly squat, and a lot more important and long lasting than building limo parking lots in front of gambling halls.

I just aint with the “now” people I guess.

Golf is very much anchored in the past. What with Trump happening, I wonder if the Baleful Gaze might turn on golf, as it has on so many things of late. I imagine an assault on the waste of resources and land represented by golf courses. They are something of an extravagance, you know! Especially these elite courses like Doral. Just think how many refugees could be accommodated there, for a fraction of the price. This has already happened in Venezuela, I believe.
