Two thirds of the primary and caucus voters don’t support Trump. I’ve seen estimates that a quarter of Trump’s voters are disaffected democrats and independents. That doesn’t leave that many real Republicans supporting Trump.
You are correct about Rush fearing losing audience. I’ve heard him say more than once that he lost a big part of his audience by going after Perot. But it is a shame he doesn’t have the strength to do what is right rather than what is expedient.
What the people want, is what is right. It’s a primary. To pretend that it’s not Freepers at the Trump rallies is delusional sour grapes.
Obama's charisma. People never fainted for the Clintons although they did suicide in the back of the head.
Hillary didn't have a good campaign strategy either. Plus a first black president had more appeal than a shattered glass ceiling.
As to blackmail, she did start the birther business, but maybe her goons hadn't dug up enough dirt yet? Nobody saw him coming. He was elected to the Senate after she had procured those FBI files.
While I'm at it, maybe we ought to be a little more concerned about Bernie's message. He is hard core Marxist and atheist. If you read his biography, it comes across as dark and depressing. That sugar shack was a dilapidated, roomy two-story house that could have been fixed up into something really charming. The dirt floor must have been the basement.
No matter what happens in this electin, the Bernie phenomenon will not go away. He has capitalized on class envy. Trump has capitalized on anger over immigration and jobs.
In another 20 years, what will our people be voting for? Bernie says it's all rigged. We can see that in both parties in different ways.
And if it weren't for the failure of both party elites to pursue their own agendas rather than the peoples', we wouldn't find ourselves where we are now.
The gop E thinks we will all retp to the party if Cruz is on the ticket. I’m sure many will but not enough to win.
Wanna bet?
It is a lost cause if that happens for America
Yes, and since the beginning, there has only been ONE front runner, Trump.
“He’s really pretty much irrelevant these days.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself
To anyone whining that Rush supports Trump: Rush is no Trump supporter. Read the title to Rush’s article! A person doesn’t argue about assigning “blame” when referring to the success of a campaign of someone he supports. A SUPPORTER CLAIMS CREDIT FOR SUCCESS!
***** As a huge fan of el Rushbo (since 1986) it saddens me that he has yet to figure out that Trump is the 2016 version of Perot, and accordingly, he will lose to Hillary.

The main reason Rush hasn’t seen Trump as a version of Perot is because he’s not.
Are you sure you didn't read that on the bathroom walls at your local Dollar Tree store?
Divide and conquer still works.
They've done it to themselves!
Oh?
Ross sucked votes AWAY from the GOP.
Trump is sucking them TO the GOP!
Trump is just a dumbed down version of Perot with a bad haircut.
