Rush, like Levin, has a sneaky way of dissing Trump while giving the impression he is for Trump.
He reads negative articles/polls and repeats them over and over. Not just 2 or 3 times, but more like 7 or 8 times. Then, he claims ‘they said it, I didn’t. I just repeated it.’
[Recall how the media skewered Trump just for repeating that ‘p-word’ way back when?]
Rush has always been more establish than conservative. Many forget in the mid-years of GWBush, Rush favored comprehensive immigration reform. And Harriet Myers for the Supreme Court. And the Dubai ports deal. Rush can be swayed by his audience, however. Unlike Levin who is like a mad dog with a bone, Rush knows he has to appeal to his audience, so he knows how to subtly seem to shift positions toward what his audience favors.
IIRC, it was after the Republicans lost big in the 2006 election that Rush stated he was through carrying water for the GOP.
[Well, he still carries some. He just tries to be less obvious about it. Several months ago he gave a list of ‘people’ he had associated with in the previous year. Ironically, nearly every name was a political or media figure. But he always claims to be an outsider.]
Great visual! Now I will laugh every time I hear Levin.
Rush has too good of a time repeating the things other people say: "Trump is a reprobate! Trump is an idiot!," and so on. He thinks he is so clever.
