So I feel the need to step forward and defend Rush!
I been reading, on this board, lots of nonsense about Rush. Although I do understand that mileages vary.
And to establish my credentials, you can count on the fingers of one hand how many Rush shows I missed last year.
I will concur that, initially, Rush was a bit laid back about Trump. I got the distinct impression he was a Cruz guy.
But Rush never said bad things about Trump. In fact, Rush defended and explained Trump more than he used mockery and sarcasm.
Check into Mark Levin, a guy I used to adore but have shut out completely because Levin was very obvious in his dislike and mockery of Trump.
also, let me add, Glen Beck really turned out to be a nut.
So it’s not like I don’t listen to these radio shows because on any given day I listen to five to six hours of radio broadcasts, which includes three hours of Rush.
I don’t know what folks who disparage Rush want the man to do. HE explains “Trumpisms” in a very spot on way. By me he’s very supportive of Trump but don’t forget, Rush walks a very tricky road. If he appears to be in the pocket of a politician he loses listeners.
If he kissy cheeks Trump too awful much it would not look all that good for a radio personality.
To sum up, I don’t get this sudden dislike of Rush.
I do for Mark Levin, silly man. Glen Beck just makes me smirk. Ann Coulter is notorious for looking at her bread to determine which side is buttered. She has determined the bread is buttered on the Trump side but I am okay with that.
Sean Hannity has never wavered in Trump devotion and I’ll allow that you don’t get Trump love out of Rush quite as much as Hannity (some would say it’s a little too much).
But I do think that Rush very much supports Trump. If nothing else, Rush does not want to see Hillary win!
I’m with you....I detect no dislike of Trump, other than what we all see from time to time from a guy who is not a politician, nor a died in the wool conservative.
It’s standard protocol: Anybody not slavishly enthusiastic about the favored candidate is subjected to Five Minutes Freephate.
I received it when I complained about W not defending himself or his supporters, also when I pointed out how much more experience Ronald Reagan had compared to Sarah Palin.
It’s not rational, it’s completely emotional, like a 10-year-old’s reaction when told he can’t have the latest toy: “I hate you I hate you I hate you!”
