Haven’t heard Rush call Cruz “our guy”; I have heard him call Cruz the most conservative constitutionalist in the race, which is not to say he is electable. We have all been looking for an “electable” Cruz, but didn’t get one. He carries a good 1/3 of the party with him, though (by that I mean his die-hard Christian conservatism), so it is not a good idea to alienate us. I say “us” because I am a Christian conservative like Cruz; the difference between me and him (and his die-hards) is that I know the country will never elect one of us.
I knew this, and was on board with Trump from the start, right after I saw that first debate and realized he was not going to be buffaloed by the PC press, et al. I am more on board with Trump than ever today.
The fact that Cruz used Rush’s “he’s the most consistent, constitutional conservative in the race” comment in a commercial is regrettable, and Rush said so himself (while there is nothing to be done about it).
Rush? Open borders? No, he is not. Point-blank, period. He is not open borders.
Rush pushed NAFTA big time, back when Perot was running. I remember it well. We thought Rush knew just about everything in those days, and never doubted him for a moment. It’s free trade according to “conservatives” no matter how devastating it is to the country. If you haven’t heard Rush fawning all over Cruz these past weeks and months, you must not be listening to his show. He didn’t honestly endorse him like Levin and Glenn, he pretends to be neutral. After yesterday’s program, a lot of us are convinced he is out to destroy Trump.
