Limbaugh conducts experiment on Trump fans: ‘This is exactly what I was expecting’

“All sound and fury, signifying nothing...”

It’s called advertising dumb ass.

[Kit cat]

Cruz can not win a general election, the country has gone to far left!! Cruz is way to PREACHY to win a general, for crying out loud Cruz couldn’t even win his MAIN BASE evangelicals!!! Trump is more conservative than MANY are screaming, Trump IS more conservative than McCain, McConnell, Ryan, Graham, Bohner, right now this country NEEDS to care about America, close our borders, and STOP these unfair trade agreements Cruz would NEVER have done this!!!!

[Alcibiades]

Agree completely about the commentators. They are all just profiting off conservatism. Every one of them just wants to sell something, books, tea, ties, subscription, newsletter.

I’m sure by late summer they’ll all be endorsing Trump, and they’ll all be ready with their excuses. “Hillary is worse than I thought. Trump clarified his positions, etc...”

The talk radio Profiteer class only cares about selling more useless crap.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yea, he said he was going to put in pro-life judges for the SC.

But I guess that isn't enough for a purist like yourself.

In comment #5 you wrote

"Rush, Levin and Beck received money from the Cruz campaign, they are still smarting from their butt hurt:"

and you linked an article.

I read the article, and it does not state that "Rush, Levin and Beck received money".

I believe that the truth is important, and I have quoted the article below.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Since Rigel Strategies, LLC. is not a public corporation, just what that $8,467,466.00 dollars in “Media” spending has been used for is not public record. However, it’s not hard to connect the dots and see that a one man corporation, with connections to radio hosts and a marketing plan of “embedded marketing” may be using that money to purchase the loyalty of Talk Show Hosts around the nation to sway the election in Cruz’s favor.

[QUESTION] Is Cruz’s “Keeping the Promise I” and “Keep The Promise PAC”, through Rigel Strategies, LLC. paying conservative talk show hosts and media pundits for their endorsements, their defense of Cruz and to attack his opponents?

If so, this would be a blatant violation of the FCC’s Payola and Plugola laws as the hosts mentioned have not disclosed on the air the payments made in exchange for their programming.

If he were to nominate conservative judges, it would be a step in the right direction and a pleasant surprise.
I guess I am more skeptical about Trump’s character and motivation than others on this forum.

[Chgogal]

Bump that.

Bless your heart. I have lived through what republicans have put on benches. Roberts anyone... What is more than bizarre to me is those that hold Trump to a higher standard than the run of the mill republicans.

[fortheDeclaration]

Well, that is fine, but listen to what he is actually saying before saying he has to prove himself to you before you will vote for him.

He has put a strong pro-life defender on his staff.

“He was A BUSINESSMAN at the time, and you don’t get far in multi-mega-million businesses if you piss off the politicians.”

Post of the DAY!

Not that it will matter to most people, because they are ignorant of business in general.I learned this much the past 10 months.

[I-ambush]

I understand what he is saying this campaign. But can you honestly say that he has demonstrated consistency over the years on political matters? Therein lies the reason for my distrust of the man, and, I suspect that of many others.

[cant_stump_wont_stump]

Nobody cares about Rush anymore.

Amen. He and Levin and Beck are welcome to sit there and chew their sour grapes from now to kingdom come. The rest of will move on with a winner.

[fortheDeclaration]

No less consistency then Cruz!

[I-ambush]

Seriously??
Cruz may have been less charismatic than I would have liked, but any fair assessment of his record would conclude he was the most consistently conservative candidate in the race.

[Just mythoughts]

Except that Cruz will never be a ‘natural born’ US citizen. What is conservative about that?

[Mr Rogers]

If you are going to dump on Rush Limbaugh, or post pictures of Ted Cruz as a cartoon villain, then you are driving away potential GOP votes with your ridiculous and childish claims - just as Donald Trump did by suggesting Cruz's father helped kill JFK.

Trump cannot insult his way to victory. Neither can his supporters. I know 6 people who voted against the Democrat in at least 5 of the last 6 elections - and none of them, as of now, plan to vote in 2016. Keep posting pictures like this:

and I won't be able to convince them Trump is better than Hillary. Not if he and his supporters act like nuts!

I don't think I'm asking for much...just that Trump supporters stop attacking Ted Cruz and treating him like he is ultimate evil. You cannot piss on people forever and hope to get their vote.

Rush has done some great work....for decades now...

however, he has never ever understood IMO the depts. of criminality and evilness in the Clintoons and the muzzie in the white hut...

if you've been around, Rush deliberately put down people who wished to expose all the evil the Clintoons were up too...not just Monica, that was trite and petty...but Vince Foster and Mena and the boys on the tracks, and the rape accusations and the "nose like a vacuum cleaner"...etc...the Rialdis...the list goes on and on....even TWA 800 imo was covered up....Clintoon on the day after the "accident" removed whistle blower protection from the divers who were searching for the remnants of the plane...the DAY AFTER IT HAPPENED.( relying on my freeper history)

Rush, Levin and Beck received money from the Cruz campaign, they are still smarting from their butt hurt

If you want to post trash, at least get your facts right. Nowhere in that article does it mention Rush Limbaugh as receiving contributions from Cruz........

So you're either a liar or a propagandist troll..............Which is it and who are you working for?

Rush, Levin and Beck received money from the Cruz campaign, they are still smarting from their butt hurt:

BINGO!

We have a winner :)

Thanks for posting!

[I-ambush]

Can we have an honest discussion of the issues before us in this race?
Any legitimate concerns about what a Trump administration would actually do are met by non-starter comments like “Cruz is no a natural born citizen” or other non sequiturs. I am legitimately about the future of the Republic, and you are not giving any reassurance that Trump supporters have thought this through with such comments.
