Because of course...no one ever changes themselves or the opinions they hold.

Unless, of course, you are a radio show host who makes a living out of bloviating and inciting passions from a large percentage of your audience so as to generate large ratings and thus please your advertisers. Then of course, no change is necessary or tolerated.

Rush has made the wrong choice. Funny how he was OK with Mitt, who doesn’t have a conservative bone in his body and has been a governor, and governed his state as one of the most leftist left wing liberals that has ever walked the face of the earth.

He implemented socialized medicine in his state, among many other left wing programs including helping to expand the gay agenda. His version of commiecare was used as a template for Obamacare.

So anyone who had kind things to say about Mitt when he was running, has no right to rip apart Trump for a few lefty things he has said in the past as a private citizen in a city ruled by democrats.

I think Rush and a lot of the GOPe have a plan to support Trump publicly but undermine him wherever possible behind the scenes to help the hildabeast.

Think about it, if you have a conservative radio empire and we have conservatives in charge of everything, who is going to listen? People listen to these shows today because they are pissed!

If Hillary wins, everyone will be pissed and need a place to listen to sanity. So its not in Rush’s interest to actually have a conservative win!

Rush Limbaugh needs to get over it, his Canadian illegal immigrant cruz is not going to be president and Donald is.

Limbaugh needs to go away.

My response is it is too late now. We have a fork in the road. Choose one. Hillary or Trump.

I heard the radio telecast. Rush was not bringing up the praise of HRC in order toshow that Trump wasn't much of a conservative or a Republican. He brought it up to show that if the Democrats (or non-Dem anti-Trumpers) bring this up to show HRC in a good light or Trump in a bad one, that it is likely to backfire, showing that Trump isn't bashing her for being a woman, because he can just as easily praise her when he sees fit. A lot of Trump supporters have no problem with a certain business/diplomatic cordiality employed to get the job done. We have certainly employed it as a country with bad guys who were our war-time allies or other bad guys who we wanted to do business with, or were the best of all available options.

People have known the Trump brand for 30+ years. They have a feel for him one way or the other, and a billion dolar ad campaign will work as well as "Gov." Michael Huffington's socres of millions of dollars worked in California. All he accomplished was getting his wife some cachet before she transitioned from RINO to full-blown lefty.

I think it does. Rush is still butthurt that his fellow Busbot Cruz will not be the nominee despite his best effort. I think it is an ego thing and he wants to prove to all the rubes that he was right to assuage his butthurt. He needs to pull his head out and realize it will either be Trump or Hillary. The Calgary Ted thing is over. Who does Rush suppose he is helping with this kind of thing? Perhaps since his idol GW Bush called Hillary his sister-in-law, Rush wants to help her? Maybe he wants to help his fellow “solid conservatives” like Ryan deal with Trump? I do not know. I only know that I am sorry that I paid for a year of his podcast before he went into full Cruzlim ayatollah mode.

Expresses precisely what I have been saying recently. I use to think conservative radio was vital. I don’t anymore.

Because conservative talk radio really isn't vital anymore. When it came on the scene in the late 1980's it was truly revolutionary, there were no other outlets for conservative thought. Now there are almost infinite options, websites, pod-casts, etc. Up through about 2010 I listened religiously to Rush Limbaugh, but over the last several years my listening has declined so much that when I tuned by car radio to Rush Limbaugh the other day I realized that I hadn't listened to him in over a year and hadn't even noticed.

That’s why I left the Republican Party, Rush, Mark and the like several years ago. I guess it’s never too late......;)

My, that picture should really convince Cruz supporters to back Trump! What’s that you say? Trump says he doesn’t need the support of conservatives?
We’ll see in November.

“Then they all joined the Douche Bag Fraternity.”

Don’t say you want unity when you crap on others. I was a proud member of that “Douche Bag Fraternity” and still think Cruz the better man. I’ll vote for Trump to stop Hillary, but don’t need folks like you crapping on me.

Crap on enough people long enough, and Hillary will win. I’ve got family members who plan to sit this election out. It is tough enough for me to try to get them to vote for Trump without Trumpsters attacking me and calling me a douche bag!
