I don’t discount what you say, but I still go back to the fact that this man has nothing in common with what affects me and how I think. He hasn’t for a long, long time.
My honest belief is that Rush will continue to make money even in the loss of Ted to Hillary. Four or eight years more of supposed opposition. More revenue from ads and syndication. He really, really doesn’t care what you or I think. It’s money, money, money to him.
Rush may be jealous of Trump billions or the fact that Trump entered into the fray based on something other than money. That’s only for Rush to fathom. I only know that in my book, Rush comes out on the short end of the honesty and believability stick for me in all this.
Money may be key but after so many years of making 80 million per year plus he has to have other investments as well,an ice tea company, who knows what else. You have to wonder how much “money” per se will influence him. He has to be near a billion dollar net worth. Would more add revenue really influence him?Possibly but probably not likely.
Unlike most who hang around here Rush never bothered to work on a political campaign, volunteer or otherwise. He never contributed to candidates (his admission).
He didn’t bother registering to vote until he was 37, meaning that he never voted for Ronald Reagan despite having had two chances to have done so.
From the timeline it appears that Rush’s involvement in politics developed only when he found a way to make money from it, financial success being his consuming passion. I’m sure he that believes in the positions he takes, he just wasn’t interested enough to bother voting or supporting them before money could be made from them.

Rush came along in the ‘Conservatism as a Business’ stage. Part of the Conservative Media/Entertainment Complex. His pals in the GOPe and the Sea Island Republicans are in the racket business.
