Not this Cruz supporter. Considering that Trump is a progressive, it’s discouraging that Rush doesn’t treat him like every other progressive. I hear the dog whistles Rush employs to show that he’s not on having a Trumpgasm, but he cold really put the whole thing to bed and he doesn’t. I remember when he endorsed Fred Thompson when it was too late and Thompson dropped out a few days later.
Agreed, he needs to come out and endorse Cruz. It would be far more honest than this playing coy. It is obvious to everyone who he is for.
Oh, good for you.
You’re able to find a dark lining in every cloud.

I think Rush sees the value Trump brings to the race. After all, he’s drawing thousands of disaffected Dems and former Perot voters into the fold. It’s just a short hop from supporting Trump to supporting Cruz, or even Rubio, for those folks, should Trump finally falter.
Trump is showing what it takes to get through the media’s PC barricades and connect with the public, much as Reagan was able to do in his time.
The problem with Trump is, as you stated, he’s no conservative. But he is bringing some value to the race, nonetheless. It will be interesting to see how he reacts should he come in second in Iowa, as he could once voters really start examining his past positions and realize the degree to which he claims to have changed. One thing most conservatives expect is consistency, and consistency is not exactly Mr. Trump’s middle name.
