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."

“Unless that was all a scam to set him up to run for president...”
That is all it was. He new he never stood a chance.
I listen to rush every day and don’t feel that at all an I’m all in for trump
Cruz is so desperate at this point that he will believe anything.
LOL!
“Please sir, can you spare another lashing?”

Ummm... OK, whatever that means. Not really seeing how that ties in to the previous comment I was responding to... But whatever.
Trump is a conservative,
sometimes (and definitely during the primaries).
Trump supported Ronnie before Cruz could vote lol
I think the reason why low- information voters such as myself are so angry is because we lack basic toiletries.
I think Ted has already accepted that deal. Has’t he?
Yes, definitely a conservative when he’s not taking liberal positions or giving money to democrats. Other than that he’s 100% conservative. or as Trump says a conservative with common sense.
If they do it, it’s a sure sign they have him, bought and paid-for.
The establishment will go all in for Cruz for sure. If that fails, they will go all in for Hillary to prevent Trump from winning.
Thank you!
Wouldn’t matter. Establishment is not running The Show this time.
so if they broker a deal using Cruz (whether they follow through on promises they make to him or not) - just what do you think tens of millions of Trump supporters are going to do to the GOP when it comes time for reelection to those cush Senate and House seats?
A sleeping giant has been awakened
I don’t think people are going to forgive and forget
More likely, they will make a deal with the devil. They will let Kasich and Rubio give their delegates to Cruz. (Kasich and Rubio have to stay in until the convention for this to work, otherwise their delegates are released). Cruz will have to agree to an establishment supervisor as his VP, and he will have to agree to certain conditions about what he will do as President (amnesty for starters).
I think that the addition of Neil Bush indicates that such a plan is in the works, and that Cruz is willing to go along with it. Cruz could be allying with Trump instead, and be guaranteed of VP. Instead, he is throwing in with the establishment. It is now Trump, and only Trump, against the GOPe and for the American people.
Teddy is the Establishment’s, “Anti-Establishment”, candidate.
You're correct but it doesn't matter to the Trumpers.
Any slight reference by anyone against their candidate must immediately be met with derision and self-righteous outrage.
Sad to watch.
Um, yes he is...
Cruz graduated from Princeton University in 1992, and from Harvard Law School in 1995. Between 1999 and 2003, Cruz was the director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, an associate deputy attorney general at the United States Department of Justice, and domestic policy advisor to President George W. Bush on the 2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign. He served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008, appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. He was the first Hispanic, and the longest-serving solicitor general, in Texas history. From 2004 to 2009, Cruz was also an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz
I lost all respect for Rush after the day he declared old Rubes a conservative, in the same vein as Reagan. Spit
He can take his operation screw ball idiocy and keep filling heads full of mush, he revealed himself for the lame establishment player that he is - sickening, really truly sickening. Hope it backfires on him, and he gets to go hang out with Chuckie and company and talk about making illegals palatable to us uneducated masses.
