Charlie Kirk was never Trump until Trump became the nominee.So was Rush.
Rush was all in for Rubio early on.
“So was Rush. Rush was all in for Rubio early on.”
Any evidence of that. The most that I saw was Rush saying ‘good things’ about Rubio, which I would agree were ‘weird’...but Rush otherwise was quite neutral, although he did lean towards Cruz at the very end.
...and Rush was NEVER close to being a Never Trumper, when one remembers what the NeverTrumpers were saying about Trump (using far stronger language to attack Trump than they ever used to attack any liberal). In fact, I remember Rush saying flat-out, at least once, that Trump is no liberal (Rush knew him personally)...which is what moved me away from Cruz and over to Trump.
...but the crap with Rubio was weird, and I’m still clueless as to why he said what he did, after killing himself to fight Rubio’s Amnesties over the years.
