Rush was on the Trump bandwagon until it appeared he wasn’t going to self destruct. Over time he has more and more distanced himself from Trump
Which makes less logical sense prima facie unless he was “told” to stick to the GOPe, like he did what he was told re the amnesty bill for Schumer. Thus pushing Rubio’s deep throated foam. Then switching to Goldman Cruz. That is the problem. It smells like he is doing someone’s bidding.
Trump was useful in stealing thunder for Jeb, Huckabee, Paul and others. He served that purpose but remained viable which wasn’t supposed to be in the cards. Remember, Rubio was supposed to represent the new wave of candidates. There was one unexpected early casualty because of Trump. Scott Walker. He was Rush’s boy early on and before Trump.
