I expect Rush to “retire” after 2016, the ratings just aren’t there anymore to justify his price. Most of the rest of the national talkers are flat-out boring and unlistenable. If anyone thinks Hannity or Levin will attract new conservatives, they’re nuts.

I wish that Rush would have only 2 or 3 shows a week.

“If anyone thinks Hannity or Levin will attract new conservatives, they’re nuts.”

Heck, they’re turning off the old conservatrives. I mean how many times can you hear gop talking points and have it be interesting?

Rush won’t retire.

He enjoys his work too much.

If Rush did retire, Mark Steyn would do nicely as his replacement.
