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.”

Based on your reply I will assume that you consider Canadians to be minorities.

You talk nonsense,and act like Cruz is a good candidate when he screwed over the voters of Texas,Palin,congress and his oath of office. He was an underdog when Palin pulled his butt up from sheer defeat. How does he thank palin and the voters? He takes his egotistical uncaring self to the campaign for president. I have zero respect fir him.

Name one Freeper who thinks that Sen. Cruz is a “perfect Christian”.

Why? To whom - you, who already know that I was referring to the level of Christian superiority he's been pandering to the credulous during his campaign? Why should I bother, when your very question is dishonest and thus exposes you as a non- Christian, at least so far as your political interests are concerned. Which is what Cruz does too, come to think of it.

Rush is GOPe. He destroyed his credibility when he took a secret dinner meeting to get Schumer and Graham's amnesty talking points in 2011. After Rush helped destroy Newt, in Florida back in 2012, in favor of that con man Romney I stopped listening to Rush. Rush is no more conservative than Romney. And if one compares and contrasts Rush to Trump private lives, Trump is actually more conservative.... Rush has Trump envy.

I remember Reagan and I can find nothing about Cruz that reminds me of Reagan... Reagan would never have advocated a VAT tax.

Notice how Rush or anyone else now refers to Ted Cruz as following the ‘original intent’ of the Constitution ‘conservative’...

Some people are born to deceive and others are born to be deceived.

Well, he also stated emphatically that Rubio was a true conservative. Last time I heard him, I can’t stomach such idiotic nonsense.

Of the wide circle of people I know, there is not ONE that likes Cruz or will vote for him. Not ONE. He is very unlikable. He comes off like a greasy weasel.

You are clearly delusional because of a huge crush on the biggest liar ever to have run for the highest office in the land with the exception of the Kenyan and slick Willie. Cruz clearly had no intention of fulfilling the 6 year Senate job that he took the oath of office to carry out. Fake phony fraud. When he was accused of eating boogers it was not true,but he acts the part. You are wasting your time and mine,I loathe a liar.

golly gee, gal YOU are the one that posed the assertions/questions re what you Trump has done versus Cruz having done 'didly. without once calling YOU a liar.

All I did was post LINKS answering your questions.

Guess 'you can't STAND the truth"? You didn't refute any of the links - just, in the best liberal style, jump up and down and call names. Sucks to be you...

Be sure to kiss Rafael sweetly when you see him,and don’t forget to ask for his autograph,you can keep it under your satin pillow and dream about him.

Everyone knows about the liar Rafael,you just ignore all his warts. Love is blind,but some people get deaf and dumb too.

Now annoy someone else you are really creepy.

Wait, Cruz screws over Palin by possibly becoming president and not finishing his term in the Senate? What?

By that thinking Palin screwed over the voters of Alaska by running for higher office (vice president) before finishing her term as governor. And even worse, she actually quit before ending her term as governor. So how is Cruz egotistical/uncaring and Palin not egotistical/uncaring?

Trumpian logic on full display.
