BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: To Mike, who's driving around in a truck. He's from Sikeston, Missouri. It's 30 miles south of where I grew up in Cape Girardeau, and you wanted to talk about Cruz. Obviously you're a big Cruz supporter. You've got a very positive attitude about Cruz and his intellect and his ability to take the heat. Where were you going with that?
CALLER: Well, my question is, obviously as Cruz is rising in the polls, Donald is taking him on more and seeing him as an enemy, wanted to combat him rightly so as any candidate would do. My question is how do you think Cruz is handling the heat? How is he handling the new side of Trump that he's seeing, the abrasiveness of Trump coming from Trump and not just another member of his party, the senate, or the media?
RUSH: I think he's handling it well. I think he's known that it was coming, and I think he's amped up well for it and prepared well for it. And I think he will probably take full advantage -- if Trump actually doesn't show up tomorrow night, I think he is going to take full advantage of it, and the other candidates will try to as well. But I don't think you can make Ted Cruz wilt. I don't think there's any kind of heat that's going to cause him to shrink. He rises to the occasion.
The thing about Ted Cruz is that you never have to doubt his conservatism. In fact, you can be totally confident that that's who he is. He's not gonna have to remember what to say when. It's in his heart. It is part of his fabric. It's the essence of who he is...

GO TED CRUZ!! VOTE TED CRUZ!!
Most conservative viable candidate in many years!
Cruz/Trump 2016
from Joel Himelfarb, Newsmax, November 26, 2014
Cruz then made a comment that surprised at least some in the room.
“I don’t think I’m all that conservative,” he said. “And it’s interesting. Reagan never once beat his chest and said “I’m the most conservative guy who ever lived.” Reagan said, “I’m defending commonsense principles.”
Rush’s endorsement hit you right in the gut, didn’t it?
In before the arrival of the TRUMP (PEACE BE UPON HIM) Worshippers to slam Cruz.
I don’t doubt Ted’s globalism. I listen to what the pre-Trump Ted said and did.
I haven’t heard a lot of trashing of Limbaugh yet for failing to endorse Trump.
This won’t sit well with the minions.
The Rush show today was the best I’ve heard in many moons.
If you think this is bad, wait until you see how trump bashes Sarah Palin someday.
I listened all day
Rush never endorsed Cruz
Man the bullshit folks say here
Cruz has dropped a bit with his ties to Goldman Sache via his wifee.
Thanks for posting this. I only heard the first hour of his show today.
“Rush’s endorsement hit you right in the gut, didn’t it?”
Genius, there is a difference between praise and endorsement. Rush daily says he does’t do endorsements in primaries.
Republicans primary voters have not had a candidate this good to vote for since 1984. My first presidential election was 1992 and so I have waited my whole life to vote for a candidate as good as Cruz.
Hope the voters in Iowa don’t screw it up. Although in my pessimism I expect them to vote for Trump and the ethanol mandate.
Me thinks Trump would never settle for second place.
Please Vet. Define your understanding of Conservatism. Really would like to know why you seem to spend your days supporting Cruz who may not be eligible to be POTUS.
Because what we consider "conservative" used to be normal.
If JFK flew to today in a time machine, he would be too conservative for the GOP.
