Rush the ultimate Republican is undermining the presumed Republican nominee showing his hypocrisy. He was never with the average Republican he was with the party bosses.

You don’t have to hate people to run against them in politics. This is actually a sports concept that has crept into modern politics, hate the opponent.

The only necessary condition for opposing somebody in politics is to believe that your ideas are better than their ideas.

I dislike Hillary Clinton but I wouldn’t say that I hate her, and I get Bill Clinton as a man but figure him to be well to the left of his centrist facade that worked for him in presidential elections.

Here in Canada, I am sure I would enjoy a short conversation or a beer with our new PM and I don’t feel any hatred towards him, but I profoundly disagree with his political views. There are people in politics worthy of hatred, if they pose as something much different from what they are, or if they take away basic liberties and impose a form of tyranny. Of course the rhetoric is that the left is already there, but it’s a matter of degrees, we are all freely walking around and more or less free to express our views.

As to the “experiment” of seeing what people thought of Trump’s earlier views, the guy has clearly come to some new conclusions and this is all that matters to me, what he thinks now, not what he thought then. They don’t call the capital of Minnesota St. Saul — think about that.

what makes people think Rush is a republican?....he's an elitist....all he really wants to be is with the "in" crowd...

which is why he is always namedropping...

I've understood this about him since the beginning....its not news...

the other thing is maybe we don't know, but with Breitbart going down like he did...yes I know...a "heart attack"....but still ...maybe there have been threats for them to play lightweights this election...

however, I can never see Levin playing a lightweight...he's a true passionate conservative...and he certainly can have his own ideas about candidates, at least I can expect them to be his own, not his owners...
