If you think that I deify Limbaugh then you are wrong.
That is your second mistake. True, I have listened to
him longer than 99.9% of all FReepers. But that just
means that I have had more opportunity to understand
him than you and the rest of the Rush conspiracy crowd.
What you guys always seem to do is to pound on the
evidence that points in your preferred direction and
ignore the rest. Did Limbaugh ever defend Trump? What
does Limbaugh have to say about Trump now?
Limbaugh has been in the national radio talk show
business for somewhere around eight presidential
election cycles. Do you really think he would have
been around this long if all he did was savage
primary candidates only then to have to kiss butt
in the general election? Tell me when was it that
outspoken Trump accused Limbaugh of being in
the tank for Cruz? I missed that. Maybe because
he knows that Limbaugh’s second goal is to
defend conservatism against liberalism. Of
course his first goal is to secure and hold as big
an audience as possible. Limbaugh knows he
can’t do that if he focuses on one candidate
during the primary season. Why is that such a
difficult concept to understand? You and
conspiracy friends just won’t see the big
picture.
I never heard Trump accuse Limbaugh of being in the tank for Cruz and that's not what I said. Here's who DID say that Limbaugh endorsed Cruz: NewsMax. Breitbart and a lot of other pretty reliable conservative news outlets reported it, too, I'm surprised you missed it.
I'll boil it down for you: Rush supported a less-conservative candidate who was soft on illegal-immigration. For that reason, Rush can no longer be trusted.
