Here is Rush’s problem from the beginning: while he was a Cruz guy he tried to straddle Cruz/Trump because I think he knew Trump would win. (You can really hear the bitterness in his voice when he talks about how Trump beat these “16 guys.”)
Now, as an “analyst” that Rush positions himself to be, he utterly failed to explain NOT JUST WHY TRUMP WON, but why Cruz lost and why conservatives and evangelicals did NOT support him.
That is key, because to do so would have exposed CRUZ’S weaknesses. Rush still doesn’t get that part of his job was to explain why Cruz didn’t catch fire.
Those who have access to internet knows Rush limbaugh intentionally ignore positive news about Trump and make himself as news. Rush lies, twist words. All these conservative Radio talk shows will have crash landing. I stopped listening to them because they are old news and gloat about themselves.
Rush and his lesbian problem is sick.
I believe Rush himself is taken aback by Trump’s success.
It’s impossible to explain something you don’t fully understand.
Trump’s campaign style is unique — ‘stream of consciousness’.
Trump’s position on the issues is ‘macro’ rather than ‘micro’. He lays out the overall plan. But that confuses wonks who underestimate that he’s been thinking seriously about immigration and other problems for over a decade.
Worse than that he was a Marco Rubio fanboy and apparently still is. The same is true with Hannity.
CONOR FRIEDERSDORF is not a conservative. It would be similar to calling Megan McCain a conservative. He’s only known for attacking conservative radio hosts. He first attacked Levin after “Liberty and Tyranny.” He supported the Ground Zero Mosque, believes in man-made global warming, etc. I didn’t read the article btw, but I assume he’s whining that Rush didn’t stop Trump.
