So you agree that building an audience is Rush’s objective?

God help us, you have gone stark raving mad. Crazy psycho bonkers nuts! Long after Walker is blessedly gone from our memory, Rush will be there, and you will be crying.

Rush hasn’t officially endorsed Trump, but his show has been like an in kind donation of probably 100 million dollars of positive publicity over the past 8 weeks.

>> Limbaugh’s EIB audience (reportedly) has been shrinking recently

This is a lynchpin premise of your argument, so can you support it?

Please make the “reportedly” real by giving us links.

I did my own research, and found nothing of the sort. But I’ll keep an open mind while I wait for you to provide verification.

People trying to read Rush as being a mindless promoter of Trump are only hearing what they want to hear. Rush doesn’t criticize any of the candidates, except Jeb (and even that is subtle).

It might be a good idea for you to read this.
You seem really obsessed with posting.

Do you really think Walker or Bush would have had all the answers? How about Fiorina or Graham?

Are you getting paid by the Walker campaign?

What empirical evidence do you have that Rush's audience is shrinking? Some radio stations have made the mistake of canceling his show, but those people that still want to listen will just listen online or find another radio station. I am a full time instructor at a community college and cannot listen to his show if I have a class during that time, but, otherwise, I try to tune in. He talks about Trump because he is in the news! I was listening yesterday and heard the "touching bit" to which you are referring. Rush has known Trump personally for years and that anecdote was to illustrate a firsthand account that Trump does not hate or abuse women as some have claimed since the Megyn Kelly episode.

If you have listened to Rush for years as I have, you would know that he NEVER endorses any candidate during the primary and he ALWAYS supports the nominee, though that person may not have been his first choice. He shares the same disgust that all of us do with how the Republican party, despite their promises in 2012, refuse to do anything to oppose Obama, letting him continue to try to fundamentally change this country forever. The important thing for all of us is should be to defeat whomever wins the Democratic nomination!

They all will endorse at some time anyway, so what? Are you in favor of the liberal FCC approach of censoring Rush?

Why are you lashing out at Rush because your candidate, Walker has
imploded.
Rush is not the reason Walker has imploded.

I don’t think Rush is against Walker at all. I think Rush knows as many do that the immigration issue is absolutely the most important issue of our time. If we don’t win this one, none of the other issues will matter because what we want will never happen again in the US. We will have been replaced by 3rd worlders who will always vote democrat progressives.

This is the reason the GOPe has become Dem lite. Their donors want a cheap labor class who will work cheap and supplement their bad wages using welfare and other entitlements.

It sure is all good for them. Not so much for American citizens.

that's beneath stupid......and childishly out of context - I didn't say a single syllable to indicate that. I was simply pointing out that while he hadn't endorsed, he had endorsed - and it was in response to a poster who said he didn't endorse. Get back to me when you can chat like an adult.

You're missing the point.

Why has Rush turned his show into "The Donald Show?"

Have you ever known Rush to do something like this before?

Rush comments on the stuff on page 1.
That’s where Donald Trump is right now.

I don’t think Rush is promoting Trump. He seems to be taking a neutral position. I think he is however, disappointed in the weakness of the other more conservative candidates and has been trying to point out to them why Trump is seeing success.
JMO.
