I’m not buying this.
Rush has not been favorable to Trump “AT ALL”.
It has been exasperating at times.
The idea Trump got Rush’s blessing is a pipe dream > IMO.
I agree. Rush has been very biased against Trump. I think he is losing big in the ratings and this is a way for him to mitigate the damage. I’ve seen a side of Rush where he cares a lot about his paycheck and I think he may be taking quite a hit on the revenue side.
Unlike Levin who is going down the tubes, Rush likes his private jet and 20,000 square foot house.
Rush has said many times that he would ‘vote for any one of these guys’ over Hillary Clinton. No, not an endorsement - but I think his acceptance of Trump as a candidate is meaningful...especially while the party leadership is plotting third party games.
I think the writer got it mostly right.
Rush is a little too lenient on Ted, but he’s overall fair to Trump. Surprisingly so at times.
I have not commented on Rush due to the fact I have raised my Daughters and now Grandchildren with his program on in a lot of our Family Videos. My Wife and I have been avid followers of him back when He was in Sacramento and the mouse was in the garbage can and He used raid on him. Said that to make my point. I have turned him off this Election season I would never believed it if someone told me He would be so wrong on something so important. Still trying to figure out why , I hope it is not what I’m thinking.
Apparently this clown does not listen very carefully or he is awfully stupid. Rush has done everything he could, short of an announcement of support, to prop up Cruz. No mention of the sex scandal today. He figured no one would notice if he said nothing about either candidate and took calls from morons complaining about his imaginary support for Trump.
He said nothing about Cruz joining the enemy after Chicago.
Rush has been very measured when it comes to Trump. Fawning full praise? No. But he has not been as critical of Trump as he was of McCain throughout 00 and 08 and the same with Romney in 12. Oddly, in 08 he seemed more in the corner of Romney and gave Romney more support in 08 than he did when 12. And he’s been quicker to circle the wagons regarding Trump and where Trump has exposure Rush generally has been quick to provide Trump cover. I do think he’s been much less critical toward Cruz and if you read between the lines Cruz is here his heart is. But he’s treated Trump more than fair, and especially early in the process.
From the very few and short times I’ve listened to him in this last 6 months, I certainly haven’t seen him say much positive about Trump. There are times Trump would be his topic, but it was only used by him to tell everyone how brilliant he was at predicting something about the events surrounding him.
Rush is a multi-millionaire living in a Florida compound surrounded by everything he needs and has a jet to zoom off to wherever his fancy takes him - golfing, sports events, dinner, etc. It has been decades since he was anything connected to those of us out here in drive by land.
He can’t tell you the price of hamburger meat, bacon, eggs milk or most any staple whose prices we all struggle with. But ask him about some fancy cigar that costs $100 apiece and he can damned sure pipe up on that, you betcha.
For all his use to me, he might just as well talk about the NFL (his dream) and how that weirdly relates to current political events. That makes about as much sense as some of the stuff he’s talking about with Cruz and/or Trump - and Hillary, and Bernie. Frankly, he’s useless to me.
Savage is the only one who has supported Trump from day one and beyond that , wishing he would have run in 2012 .
“Rush has not been favorable to Trump “AT ALL”.”
In the very beginning Rush was all Trump. For the “neutral during the primaries” Rush, I was quite surprised at how enthusiastic Rush was about Trump. Then.... I don’t know who, got to Rush, but he did a complete 180. He became the anti-Trump. I’d be real interested in what caused his 180.
Agreed. Rush has become part of the establishment, sure he criticizes the federal government, he talks a consistent game against Hillary Rotten Criminal but the bottom line is that he needs to stay in the good graces of the GOP elites with at least some cordial chit-chat.
The time for nice polite chit-chat is OVER.
Are you insane? Since trump announced last May 1/2-3/4 of his shows have been dedicated to how trump is running rings around the press, GOP-E, how his polls don’t go down despite his less and less conservative stances, constant foot in mouth diesease and explaining why his gaffes are really good things. Rush is clearly not for Trump, but the ONE time he actually criticized trump it made national headlines and grist for the talk shows for a week solid back in December.
I don’t listen to Rush anymore, first time since about 1988?
If I want anti-Trump I just turn on anything else, including any of the smaller local Denver or Colorado Springs talk shows.
The anti-Trump is everywhere, and endless.
Savage is the only Trump supporter out there, and I can only catch a few minutes a week.
“Rush has not been favorable to Trump “AT ALL”.”
Well he did used to cover Trump an awful lot. Never really propped him up, just reported the facts. Cruz, now there’s where Rush shows his bias. He spends a lot of time shoring up Cruz’s sinking image.
Rush is right about one thing though. The iPad Pro is an amazing machine.
