Sorry to say that I disagree with Rush on this one... First time (okay second time).
He is/has become just another of the insider Republican politicians (used to be an outsider) probably due to his association with said junkies... He gave a poor response - even though he does better ad-lib, and he deserves the let-down from Conservatives.
I would have much preferred some fiery non-politician to actually respond to the horrible spending and stupid plans of this administration - but, what can you expect. They have to go along with the perceived polls I’d guess...
Too bad... I use to think that he had a good chance because he was NOT of the current political class - but they apparently got hold of him and changed his ways...
Rick Santelli, perhaps?
