Rush and Levin are solid conservatives. Levin was hard to listen to for a few months but that hardly cancels out decades of devotion to conservative principals.
Rush was never anti-Trump.
No wonder conservatism has such a hard time, we so called conservatives eat each other over and over and over again.
“Rush was never anti-Trump.”
Like heck he wasn’t. You must have had cotton in your ears.
Bingo. Some of the comments on this thread are hilarious: “so-and-so criticized my candidate, once or twice, waah.”
Actually he was. He regularly praised Trump until it became obvious that he was going to win. I think his praise for Trump was an attempt to goad Cruz into taking up some of Trump's talking points as his own, didn't work.
I am a 24/7 member and have been since he announced it so I am a Rush fan. If you could have watched his antics when talking to Trump-pests you would understand how much he disliked Trump and his supporters.
I fear you’re making too much sense for the circular firing squad on FR .
He could not understand how any conservative could legitimately support Trump when ‘we have our first, true conservative in Ted Cruz.’ He would cackle prior to having a Trumpster on by saying that nothing could ever get through to a Trumpster that would make them waiver. He would then posit the latest bad thing that he said was true about Trump and throw it at his next Trumpster call-in. He would laugh at them at the end of the call just after terminating the listener, saying, ‘See, what did I tell you? We have a real conservative and even when these people say they dislike 80% of what Trump has stood for, they are still 100% going to vote for Trump. I can't explain it, folks.’
I have a Rush 24/7 subscription, so I hear most of what he says.
You are sort of of right in that he has said he would vote for the Republican winner, but he has always said Cruz was the only conservative and that Trump was a good talker.
