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.”

I’ve been listening to rush since 1992,and he is normally for nobody in the primary season,this year he is schizophrenic and off kilter. He is sucking up to a couple of candidates,and he seems unable to just say positive things without choosing. Glenn beck and Mark Levin are totally freaking nuts,and should be in padded cells.

“I stopped listening to Levin and Hannity about 6 years ago, I cut back on rush but now I am done with him.”

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

With you leaving I guess the poor guy will have to give up his jet now.

Just amazing how many trupettes think he’s more Conservative than Rush.

These days I am only on here. The conservative media is invested in Cruz and taking out Trump. Becoming delusional a bit. Some more than others and they can’t criticize Cruz because him losing ends the meme that he was electable or something. Guess because they put him on a pedestal it will be rough when he loses.

I don’t know why I even clicked on that stupid link. He makes allegations and shows a video where Cruz tells you the allegations have been proven to be a lie, but oooooh he happened to see a website that proved it, but but that website was wiped!

Wowie! There is the proof! How you can post that senseless link as proof of your lying garbage is unbelievable? Freepers used to have solid links to facts and didn’t post the neighbor’s garbageman’s brother-in-laws nephew saw this on the Internet. It’s a fact!

Did you see Trump's arrival at Doral, excuse me TRUMP DORAL, on Sunday? You know in the past, and just last year, this tournament was a giant Trump funfest, with Peter Jacobsen doing a full-on impersonation, and ebbyting.

This year, nothing, Nuuuuuuhthiiiiing, ... until Sunday! They were still obeying some kind of rules, as they did not have Trump "on camera", that is for interview, but they did cover his arrival. You could feel the electricity. Lowly minions were calling out "TRUMP!" in veritable ecstasy. It was something.

I feel obliged to admit that I WILL vote for him, so help me God.

The majority of people in this country hate publicly professing Christians. This is why people like Cruz and Michelle Bachmann are treated as crazies and can’t get elected. This is why I acknowledge that we are left with Trump as our only chance to dump the she-devil. Even though he doesn’t really know what he stands for.

Rush said some good things about Trump on that link. Looks like the posters on this thread need to walk back some of their insults on Rush.
