Rush: If Conservatism Is Your Only Priority, There Is No Choice Other Than Ted Cruz

The Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | 2/10/16 | Rush Limbaugh

[TBBT]

If conservatism is your bag, if conservatism is the dominating factor in how you vote, there is no other choice for you in this campaign than Ted Cruz, because you are exactly right: This is the closest in our lifetimes we have ever been to Ronald Reagan.

***snip***

But for those of you that conservatism's the answer and conservatism is the way, you have no choice here. Ted Cruz has got to be your guy. There's nobody even close. Nobody.

[FreeReign]

Rush all-in now for Cruz campaign. Tells his listeners IF they are indeed conservatives, they have to vote for Cruz. Rush is no better than mainstream media, trying to control his listener’s vote.

Rush is no different than anybody who gives their opinion including you Kenny.

And I think Rush is right about this.

[austinaero]

Cruz vs Clinton as of 2/4 over at RCP 46.7/45.7 so Cruz +1

Trump vs Clinton as of 2/4 is 43 Trump/Clinton 47 Clinton +4

It’s not clearly determined which would do better against Hillary at this point. It’s all very close. Right now I’d say they (Cruz/Trump) are even.

Which should take the wind out of the *your guy can’t beat Clinton* sails.

Really, Trump is not conservative? How many will post this as if it’s the very first time this revelation has ever come to anyone at FR, so tell us, as if we are hearing it again for the first time, really Trump is not a conservative? Thank you for your insight I had never heard that here at all before, seriously. OMG!

[spacejunkie2001]

you’re in the weeds on alot of this stuff.

This is re; TPP

from May 2015:

Update: this afternoon the US Senate blocked an up or down vote on the president’s fast track authority, requiring it to proceed to debate. Republicans all voted to allow debate on the matter.

I would argue your point is considerably overstated.

Not at all. I have been perusing many threads and have witnessed this phenomenon as have others. Your perspective regarding Ted Cruz may exclude you, and perhaps many others, from my original point. However, there are "some" and "others" where the shoe fits, as it were.

"But, his efforts are considered extreme."

To whom? The Obama regime? The Democrats and the Republican establishment? The totality of the Washington D.C. ruling class? The Media? I disagree. These are extreme times we are living in. I admire and give Ted Cruz a lot of credit for what he did regardless of his success or failures. All this despite my disagreements with some of his positions and actions.

America has experienced one ideologue as President and is loath to replace him with what some perceive as his polar opposite.

It's strange to me how someone advocating the return of this Republic to its constitutional moorings is considered just another "ideologue."

[Uncle Miltie]

I’m at the bus stop on a phone. Tough to argue well.

Even FR has pro-tax anti-liberty heretics, so party on!

[wmfights]

Y:-— Just a shame he’s not constitutionally eligible -—

You should let the IL State Elections Board know. They ruled a couple weeks ago, in response to a complaint, that because Sen. Cruz did not have to go through any naturalization process he is a natural born American.

“In before Trumpsters excommunicate Rush and he joins the likes of Levin and Beck. ;-)”

Rush is right, however there are not enough “pure” conservatives to elect him. It’s numerically impossible to win the election with out a big chunk of the independents and crossover votes.

For what it’s worth

Cruz vs Sanders has Sanders winning by 1.5%

Trump vs Sanders has Sanders winning by 7.7%

Over at RCP you there are more details-

“I don’t know. You tell me? You picked this picture.”

I picked the picture that you posted to me??? How exactly? Do I have some mind control powers that I don’t know about?

[JediJones]

Then I’ll be happy to stick it to the GOPe by nominating Cruz.

[JediJones]

Reminds me of the Futurama quote. “Nobody drove in New York. There was too much traffic.”

[austinaero]

The difference between 1.5 and 7.7 is very small.

[WilliamRobert]

I heard him say this today and agree. There is no other conservatives running.

[Thibodeaux]

-—To whom? -—

the mainstream of conservatives that exists to the left of what might be considered extreme.

[JediJones]

Mocking anyone trying to stand up for moral values...you sure you didn’t take a wrong turn on your way to Democrat Underground?

***And let me say one thing: If conservatism is your bag, if conservatism is the dominating factor in how you vote, there is no other choice for you in this campaign than Ted Cruz, because you are exactly right: This is the closest in our lifetimes we have ever been to Ronald Reagan***

“Rush has made it abundantly clear over the years that he doesn’t endorse ANYBODY in the primaries.”

You can stop with all the BS now. You’ve tried so hard to be a stooge for Limbaugh well you can’t deny this: THAT is an endorsement for Cruz.

Now, having gotten that straight, I could care less who he endorses, or any other celebrity radio talk jockey, and neither does anyone else who thinks for themselves.

[HLPhat]

I’m not seeing Clinton beating Sanders.

Best case, she gets indicted.

[WilliamRobert]

Controlling votes, no I think not. Telling the truth not that is what he did. Fans of the Blonde Obama surely won’t like this but fools and their money...
