RUSH: Immediately after the debate last night... Well, actually it wasn't immediately after. I got the note about this about twenty 'til 10 so there was still a little over a half hour left in the debate. Apparently Brit Hume couldn't wait to pounce on Ted Cruz. I know, it seems incongruous as it can be, but what Cruz did to irritate Brit Hume was to list all of the fights that he has led as senator and as attorney general, the things that he has tried to get done, the things he's tried to stop, the things he's tried to achieve.
So Brit Hume tweeted, "Ted Cruz going on about all the fights he's led in Washington. Never mentions the number of fights he's won. The answer is none." Is that how we're going to judge things now? Ted Cruz, the one guy in the United States Senate that's trying to stop this decline of this country? The one guy trying to make something happen, the one guy trying to lead others, the one guy trying to turn the linguine-spined Republicans into spines of steel in the United States Senate? Why do you think...? A good friend of mine sent me me a note.
"Why do you think a movement is called a 'movement'? Because it has to move! If it doesn't make the case, if the movement doesn't make the case even in the face of temporary defeats, then it dies." Where would Obama be if he had believed when the Berlin Wall fell down, that communism was finished? Where would any of the leftist Democrats, the Alinskyites today be if they had just thrown in the towel? "Oh, my God, our precious Berlin Wall is down!
"Our precious Soviet Union's over. I guess that's it for us." They didn't react that way, did they? They never stop moving. They never stop fighting. They never stop trying to win. And they don't win every time, and nobody puts that kind of judgment on them. Everybody sits around and marvels at how often they do win, but in order to win, you have to move. You have to have movement. You have to lead efforts. I mean, the Democrat Party had a bunch of people back in 1993 who thought, "You know, we've gotta abandon this drift to the left.
"It's over. The Berlin Wall is down." Ronald Reagan in 1976 lost the Republican presidential nomination. I guess it was over. "I guess Reagan's a failure. He waged a fight and he lost. Yeah, what good's Reagan?" He kept fighting! I really think this is instructive, too. This is establishment-type thinking from inside the Beltway. The left has lost every one of their battles until they've won them. Name for me somebody that wins all the t.ime I mean, this tweet, it was unnecessarily... Well, what is the point of going after Cruz last? What is it?
Because there is this great fear inside the establishment, like I said yesterday and I mean it. I didn't know dDrudge was gonna make it his lead headline, but I tell you: The Republican establishment would much rather have Hillary Clinton than Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz scares the hell out of them because Hillary will keep the government growing, Hillary will keep the money being redistributed. She'll keep taxing people. Government's gonna get bigger and there'll be all kinds of money around, all kinds of jobs in the government, all kinds of work for lobbyists and so forth.
Cruz stands for an attempt to reduce all of that, and so the people in Washington who feed off the federal teat are threatened by somebody who wants to reduce the number of teats. Imagine, Ted Cruz being the biggest enemy when you are a Republican or a conservative, either an elected official, a campaign official media figure or whatever. Ted Cruz! Your biggest enemy! I said last night one of the things that that irritated me the most about the behavior of the assassins disguised as journalists/moderators in the debate last night.

There was an overarching assumption as they attempted to impugn the character, the qualifications, the capabilities of all of these people on stage last night, and the overarching thing was that none of them are qualified. "None of 'em are qualified. They don't know what they're doing." And of course, the assumption is that every Democrat is qualified: Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. "Barack Obama is maybe the most unqualified president we've had in my lifetime." He has been a singular disaster!
But you know why he's said to be qualified, and Hillary and all these people?
'Cause he cares about people. He's such a good guy. He's compassionate. And maybe he doesn't know he's doing, but he's trying. He trying to help people. At least that. The Republicans, you don't care if you keep people country, and you keep people out of their homes and keep people out of the abortion clinics and arm everybody," and it just goes on and on and on. And it's why I get continually frustrated with Republicans who think they have to deal with these people, think they have to change their minds, think they have to persuade them if they're gonna win something.

INDEED.
He's the GOP Establishment mouthpiece on FOX News.
Right on, right on, right on.
Brit is a jickeyjack POS in bed with liberal dems and rinos
always was
is son being Gay made him sympathetic
Trump and Carson deserve some kudos for forcing cnbc to reduce the amount of time for the "debate". I hope the other candidates join them and force the whole stupid structure to be changed. At a minimum get some moderators who might actually vote in a Pub primary.
I read in Decision magazine that Brit Hume recently gave his life to Christ. Now I’m waiting for the politics to catch up. We need to pay for him, really. It’s sad. But when your whole life has been spent with guys and gals who have no need for Christ, you work in that spirit-poor atmosphere where you think that everything you are is what you have made yourself, apart from God, then it usually takes a real humbling to see a different point of view.
or Brit is so metro his son turned out queer
My whine for the day. Decided to watch Cavuto. He had Luntz on and neither one of them mentioned Ted Cruz. It was ALL Rubio. Can you believe it?
Hadn’t watched him many months. Won’t turn him on again. Expected better of him but this confirms to me the FNC decision to glorify Rubio, my senator who betrayed me and will never get my vote.
Cruz is totally awesome. As always Rush is right.
I’ll forgive him if he lets me kick his liberal ass first
Hume has changed allot or just now revealing his true self. Had me fooled back in the day. Ted Cruz deserves our support and the Fox news folks who down him at every opportunity deserve our scorn. I’ll be sending another contribution
today.
“Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.”
Bernard Law Montgomery
“The most enduring legacy of President Barack Obama is going to be a new generation of leaders standing up for liberty.”
Ted Cruz
Ping.
Well, he is practically “firearm salesman of the decade”.
So, which Establishment candidate does he support?
Yeb or Kid Rubio?
"Why do you think a movement is called a 'movement'? Because it has to move! If it doesn't make the case, if the movement doesn't make the case even in the face of temporary defeats, then it dies."
Here's something of interest..in Boulder CO of all places...Perhaps Sen Cruz has a current of youth support that is not readily discernable...these concepts, these movements do catch on.
