I tuned into Rush yesterday.
I could not believe how grieved he was about Cruz losing. He seemed to be VERY emotionally invested in Cruz. I don’t know how anyone could feel that way. It made me realize how much Rush must despise Trump because of all of the negative things he said about Cruz, especially the Lyin’ Ted nickname.
Apparently he had what he “thought” was a friend text him when Cruz got out. The friend expressed his relief that Cruz was out, as he couldn’t listen to the sap any longer. Well, Rush was livid - you could tell he no longer wanted that person for a friend. I found that a little odd. I know people who like Cruz, and dislike Trump. We can express opinions without risk of losing friendship. Rush was so fond of Cruz that he dumps a friend who is turned off by Cruz.
Sorry for the diatribe - the whole thing just struck me as odd.
I heard that too. And before that, I turned in Beck, and he was of course talking about how easy it would be to beat Hillary... Easy. And I’m thinking... finally the guy is going to tell us that he’s for Trump....NOPE... He says instead of Trump, the whole country will assure that he’s not elected.
Rush was talking about Trump like he was a freak show.
What has Ted Cruz done to become president. Seriously? What right does he or any of them for that matter, have rights to be president? Maybe Rick Perry..Maybe Jeb Bush in terms of their resume, but they were rejected.
They got out with Trump in there. I all knew that couldn’t beat the man.
Thanks Judy! The situation you describe is very similar.
I remember him telling that story about receiving the text message twice within a few minutes. What struck me about it was that he seemed incredulous that anyone could think like that. He apparently has no idea how repulsive Cruz is to so many people at so many levels.
I didn't listen for very long, it was all grieving about Cruz losing as you said. I understand from glancing at transcripts from later segments that he started to talk about Trump later in the show, but I didn't see any "congratulations" or anything like that.
He is bitter, he thought that he could once again gaslight his audience. It didn't work, many of us that were once regular listeners have moved on.
Rush, My Gut: Trump Beats Hillary in Landslide

He’s lost any objectivity he should have.
I heard Rush yesterday reading a letter from a Cruz supporter thinks will now back Trump - he read it in an obnoxious, mimicking way that was very childish.
Trump is exposing people for who they really are - and he’s not in office yet! Talk about being not PC and exposing the emperor.
