I would say one could start with his brother, who campaigned across the state of MO with Cruz. Ample pressure from his best buds at the foxes and NR.
Back when I did listen to rush, he took great issue with GWBush using the phrase compassionate conservative. From what I read, Rush has become quite creative in naming brands of conservative. Rubio a full throated conservative... Cruz consistent conservative.. These are signals that Rush is full of deception.

Rush seems like he is having personality issues like he does not know who he is anymore.
He's always had a strange thing going on with women. I've said more than once that Rush is. "Man's man"--prefers the company of men, but cursed with heterosexuality. (I don't mean he's sexist or would in any way disrespect a woman) He marries 'em young, and they're gone well before the first blush us off or menopause threatens. He never had a woman as a guest host, even though his fans might enjoy that once in a while.
I guess u accuse him of parochialism. His brother writes some great books--I loved "Emmaus"--but he's just another lawyer, like his dad and his grandpa. I've been listening to Rush long enough to remember his mom--what a delightful lady! I just adored it when she came on and Rush talked about her.
A show or so back, Rush had a very well-spoken woman Trump supporter. She was intelligent and made her case with courtesy. I could sense that Rush disliked her, and slipped up and said she was from "Trump University"--he immediately issued a retraction and apology...but why did he slip in the first place?
u guess u live Rysh, but I'm not trusting him like I used to.
