I think Rush was losing ratings when he promoted Rubio or even Cruz.
Trump is the only guy with the balls and money to destroy the GOPe. The voters have figured it out. We want the existing political establishment out of power and government axed 20-30%.
The richest counties in America shouldn’t be anywhere near D.C.
Trump is the tool to destroy the power structure. He’s our revolution.
I’m not buying this.
Rush has not been favorable to Trump “AT ALL”.
It has been exasperating at times.
The idea Trump got Rush’s blessing is a pipe dream > IMO.
Limbaugh needs to get on the Trump Train he is losing viewer’s left and right...I will never listen to him again until he does, 2x viewers here since 1980...Limbaugh leave the Bushes and come back to who brung you to the dance...with a southern draw....
The Washington post has always been down with the stuggle to preserve conservatism...provided you accept the MWI way of explaing quantumn potentials.
when did this blessing occur?
I don’t listen to Rush, but I think I would have heard about it.
Is this a divide-and-conquer strategy by the WP and the DC powers that be?
They tried belittlement of Trump for about a year. Perhaps the powers that be have now grown tired of that particular strategy?
The MSM has been giving hardcore support to liberals for decades. Now they are giving advice to Rush Limbaugh?
LOL
No conservative supports Trump. There are people who call themselves conservative because they identify with one or two conservative precepts, and they don’t seem to have any trouble with Trump, so long as he’s talking about their pet concerns.
>> If Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee, one of the main reasons will be ... Rush Limbaugh, has provided his blessing.
Total BS. Regrettably, Rush is grasping for relevance. He lost faith in the U.S. a few years ago.
There is this idea out there, that Trump is antithetical to Conservatism. I do not believe that is the case.
He is an America firster, and shares a lot of platform planks with Reagan.
Folks are probably going to dislike some of the things he does, but I think he’s going to push through a lot of our agenda too.
I’m happy he’s doing well. I do not think he is the death of Conservatism.
Let’s recall that they considered the likes of McCain, Romney, McConnell, Boehner, Priebus, and Ryan to be Conservatives.
Excuse me, but that right there was the death of Conservatism.
Trump is standing up for us folks.
If anything, Trump is breathing new life into Conservatism, and it’s driving some folks absolutely crazy.
See? I toldja Rush was a shill for the New World Uni-Global Crony-socialist Party Order!!!
Oh, wait.
What a load of s***. Rush as been backstabbing Trump at every opportunity.
Michael Gerson and his boss Dubya did an excellent job of “killing conservatism” all on their own.
Amnesty attempted. Religion of Peace. Jobs Americans Won’t Do. Harriet Miers
“Limbaugh has excused Trump’s narcissism and bluster as an endearing “schtick.”
What if it is not schtick?
Lose with Cruz on principle...
>>>Gerson does not seem to understand that first you have to win then you can preach conservatism.
You think you can sneak in freedom, liberty, the constitution and rule of law?
The problem is not the message, but the messenger. And, with Trump, you have both the wrong message and the wrong messenger.
If you win, you will have won nothing. Trump and Hillary will debate who can be the best tyrant and who can ‘manage’ big government best.
What on Earth do the staff of The Washington Post know about conservatism???
This is nonsense.
Gerson wouldn’t recognize conservatism if it bit him in the ass.
He’s cut out of the same cloth as David Brooks - both are eunuchs.
Gerson is a punk.
The 00001% are crapping their pants, that a true outsider, might drag their mouths from the pig trough
Patently false. Limbaugh is totally in the Cruz camp. He's just hedging a little in case the GOPe takedown of Trump isn't successful, which looks to be the case.
But Limbaugh has also consistently defended Trump as a legitimate choice for those whose dominating factor is the humiliation of "the establishment."
That's because Donald Trump is a legitimate choice to take down the DC Establishment.
Humiliation has nothing to do with it: the DC Establishment of both parties needs to be absolutely obliterated.
Nothing could be more important for the American People of all political persuasions than for the DC status quo to be shaken to its core. Nothing.
