Limbaugh: Establishment has to be 'all-in' for Cruz to win
Politico ^ | 3/10/2016 | Nick Gass

Posted on 03/10/2016 12:09:42 PM PST by 20yearsofinternet

If Ted Cruz is to come from behind and win the Republican nomination, it's "gonna take an entire unity effort" to win support from the establishment, Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Thursday.

The comment from Limbaugh, who has not formally backed any candidate, is the latest indication that the iconoclastic Texas senator will have his work cut out for him as he seeks to cut off Donald Trump.

Limbaugh presented two theories, the first of which assumed that Cruz accepts the premise that he still has time to get to 1,237 delegates before the Republican National Convention, adding that "to essentially beat Trump by unifying everybody, there's a big part of this that also has to get behind Cruz."

I haven’t listened to Rush in years. I’m not rich, I don’t smoke cigarsor play golf. I have to work for a living, deal with illegals and I support Trump

We know that that will never happen because we have been told so many times, that the Establishment has a special hatred for Cruz because he absolutely refuses to play ball with them, except, of course, when it really matters, such as TPA and the Corker bill.

Rush isn’t that delusional, is he? To think that the GOPe is supporting Cruz as an eventual nominee—rather than simply to get them past the first ballot and to their own candidate?

Tiresome, untrue, and unworthy of a rebuttal

Cruz has taken in the entire Jeb finance committee, including Neil Bush. Cruz is going to meet with Jeb before the March 15 primary. Cruz used to work for the Bush administration. It was reported that Cruz was soliciting an endorsement by Lindsey Graham. Heidi Cruz works for Golden Sacks.

The stench of warmed over Bush is getting stronger every day.

No more Bushes and no to a Stealth Bush.

In other words, Cruz needs to sell off what little is left of his integrity.

I stand with Rush Limbaugh & Mark Levin.

Ted Cruz/2016

Ted Cruz was anti-establishment/anti-GOPe before Donald Trump was even a Republican.

Interesting conundrum. Do they let Trump get it and pray he loses the general election? Or do they sink Trump then pray Cruz loses the general election.

They are really going to decide based who they think will hurt their down ticket choices the least.
