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.”

Better late than never.
had to stop listening to talk radio. sometimes I’ll tune into Savage as he seems the only one that actually thinks like your average american who is sick and tired of all the BS.
The rest of the talking head, know it alls, live in fantasy land.
He was, you musst not have been listening.
Early Ted Cruz doesn’t have the ability to appeal to a larger segment of the electorate.
The progressives have spent the better part of 20 years moving the moral compass to the left for someone as conservative as Ted Cruz.
15 years ago a guy like Bernie Sanders would have been a joke. Now he’s viable candidate.
Of all the casualties in this election season, I never thought I’d have to give up on Rush. Levin was always one-note, but Rush was once credible.
It’s gonna kill the fat man to get on the Trump express. The most historical election in 150 years and the great talk and conservative messiah missed it.
“Rush is delusional...”
Thats right. Rush, Levin, Thomas Sowell...
You know more than the people who wrote the bible on conservatism?
You Trump people are the delusional ones. Supporting a con man who has given so much money to the worst of the worst in the democrat party. We are supposed to believe he did it for the interest of his businesses but what conservative sells out their country for the interest of their business?
Should have read “Sadly”. Typing from my “smart” phone.
Rush is dead on right. Right now he’s running for the CONSERVATIVE vote. Then he will get others to agree with him by talking about how conservatism helps everyone and the economy.
Rush is right. There is finally a candidate I agree with on everything.
I don’t know if I would consider a Canadian as being a minority.
He is too good for many modern day Americans who don’t even deserve him. I still support him.
FR is unrecognizable.
Don’t you know Rush is a liberal hack!!!??
I read it on FR!
He was preaching to us last week about how CONSERVATIVE Rubio really is!!! What would you expect???
I recognize it, it looks like DU.:)
I support him too, but their is a very loud, obnoxious group of Trumpsters her on FR that hate the conservative, constitutionalist Senator for some reason.
Well, if you're into vampires, then Cruz is your guy.
“It’s gonna kill the fat man to get on the Trump express.”
Well, I don’t know if it killed Christie but if he gets any bigger it may.
their = there
her = here
