Great post! Until I scrolled all the way to the end, I thought it was JimRob posting :-)

If it weren't for Trump we'd all be discussing how we can get Jeb! to change his mind about bringing millions of illegal aliens into the U.S.

And with Trump's written policy position (not his stump speech) what difference is there between the two?

You know, there actually are conservatives running in the primary.

//Trump is a liberal. Period.//

Yeah because liberals do things like call for closed borders and turning away jihadists. /sarc

//Trump will depress the conservative vote in 2016 (hurt the ticket down the line) and aid in the election of Democrats (independent voters).//

Quite the opposite is true. Me and many others I know who left the GOP over Romney (either for Constitution party or Independents) are considering re-registering Pub in order to vote for Trump in the primaries. He has gotten the conservatives excited again. It is the milquetoast candidates the establishment likes that aids the election of Dems and gets the Conservatives to not vote (like Romney in 2012).

//Why don’t you make a stab at denying the points in the article?//

No need. Rush already did in the link I posted above. Your TDS is showing

Since when do you care about the border invasion ? You were pimping La Raza Rick for President for 2012, the big open borders phony from Texas. I guess you think he was a “Conservative”, too.

Exactly. Why does JR put up with her (Cincinatus’ Wife) and these mindless attacks day in and day out?

BTW, you aren't making points here trashing conservative icons. Who next week???? Reagan???? Buckley?????

Rush is a big boy but he avoided answering the piece - took the vague, lawyerly way out (as are many commenting on this thread).

I expect more from Rush (and am very disappointed) but that's what happens when you put too much trust in someone (no one is perfect and he's insulting his audience by denying his full court press for Trump).

>> Rush’s obvious Trump advocacy is pretty much non-stop

I respect your objections to Trump. But it’s not a love affair with Trump — it’s a gamble with his rhetoric. It’s either the greatest con game or the greatest chance we (seem to) have.

The stakes are too high for liars. I trust Trump is sincere.

Rick Perry would have sealed the border but that's history now.

You want to argue the past to avoid the present.

People who listen to Rush know he is on the field almost 3 hours a day

I get 3 podcasts a day...each one is around 30 minutes long. Adds up to 1 and a half hours of Rush talking. One half hour of that is Apple kiddie tech and Liberty the horse. He is "on the field" for about and hour a day. But only people who really listen would know that.

I have no idea. CW is one odious troll. Godebert is another trolling nutcase who continuously reposts the debunked myth that Sen. Cruz is “Constitutionally unqualified” for VP or President. What do they call that, a “Birther troll” ?

Hale repeats the tired lie that Trump isn’t specific, despite his having released specific plans on immigration, taxes, etc. before the other candidates did. He says because Trump doesn’t turn his speeches into a symposium on tax brackets he isn’t specific enough. That’s not what a campaign rally is about. It’s about firing people up and making them feel like part of a winning team*. What Trump does is lay out markers, goals. No president gets exactly what he wants out of Congress, but smart negotiators know how to start the negotiations beyond what they expect to get and force the other side to twist their arm to what they wanted. Unlike our stupid politicians who start out compromising halfway, then compromise more, whether it’s Obama and Kerry negotiating with Iran, or Boehner and McConnell negotiating with Obama.

*If your candidate had been able to do that Gov. Walker might still be in the race.

La Raza Rick sealing the border ? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!

Oh.
My.
Goodness.

Madam, that is the most delusional thing I’ve read this month. Step away from the computer before you hurt yourself.

“Rush can deny-deny-deny all he wants, but no one can honestly say that he isn’t campaigning for Trump.”

Wow. You are off in La-La land. Rush is closer to endorsing Cruz than he is Trump.

What he is doing with Trump is pointing out the obvious.

After years of Freeping, I've come to the conclusion that JimRob allows certain bedeviling posters to remain on the board in order to keep the rest of us on our toes.

Concern trolls and political operatives can really get the conversations stimulated with their blatant bs. Some of 'em are smart, too. Smart enough (or devious enough) to make us really work at taking them down.

I can see a certain 'method' to Jim's 'madness' ;-)

Very accurate breakdown, if you ask me.

Oh puhleeeze. LaRaza Rick was never going to do anything but protect the precious undocumented Democrat voters for the Cheap Labor Express. The man was a liberal RINO through and through.

He only acted like a tough Texas hombre, but he's nothing of the sort. He even fooled a lot of folks who don't reside in Texas - like you - who didn't listen to us Texans when we TOLD you he was a fraud.

What's worse, is you still believe in him!

Rush usually either does not endorse or goes along with GOPe. He is a good friend of the Bushes and it shows. He spent the night at the White House when H.W. was president and he hasn’t been the same ever since.
