IIRC, Rush's defenses of Mitt Romney only came in the general election campaign. Prior to Romney getting the nomination, it seemed that Rush didn't care much for Romney. Just like in 2008, Rush had little use for McCain in the primaries but was in his corner in the general election. Rush might be leery of Trump now but he'll be in Trump's corner come the fall campaign.

Rush went whole hog for Romney 2012, just prior to the Florida primary. I remember because that is when I stopped listening to him.

I absolutely detested the politician Mitt Romney and everything he stood for. He was a continuation of his family's opposition to all things Goldwater and Reagan. I think that I would have been quite sensitive to Rush lending support to him and I never detected it prior to the general election when Rush supported Romney as the opposition to Obama.
