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.

[grimalkin]

Yes and this is why I’ve always been behind Cruz. He’s my #1. That doesn’t mean I won’t support Trump if he gets in, but he’s not my preference.

[Fundamentally Fair]

Assignment: Read up on the Buckley rule.

Trump is by far the most conservative candidate in both deed and platform.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So which of these is Trump's most conservative position?

1. Raising taxes
2. Funding Planned Parenthood
3. Government-paid healthcare
4. Expediting the return of illegals

[luvie]

He’s right about that!

[luvie]

Add keeping Common Core to that list. He said so in a speech in the last day or so.

Bah!

[xjcsa]

Trump is the best reality TV entertainer. Trouble is many Americans dont know the difference.

Sadly, nor do many Freepers.

[QuigleyDU]

Who is the most conservative is the wrong question.
The right question is who can beat Hillary?

Jump ahead. We’ve picked our candidate, how do they stack up in appearance, standing beside Clinton, in debates, with undecided voters?

Rubio> Will look like a middle school kid telling his sweet old grandma teacher with years of experience she’s wrong.

Cruz> Will look like a lawyer giving a prolonged explanation of why the sweet old grandma’s life and work have not only been a waist of time but damaging to children.

Trump> Will look like a leader showing an old hag, that he can be just as mean and nasty as she can, and to get out of the way and let a real American run the place.

[luvie]

Keep Common Core

[luvie]

I want an intelligent president who can speak with authority about conservative values. Cruz is that man!

I DON’T want a “mean and nasty” president. We already HAVE one of those!

[sagar]

Trump is just a Hillary with a larger offshore bank account and a smaller schlong. Or is that the other way around?

[Hoodat]

5. Beating Hillary Clinton. QED.

Bernie Sanders is beating Hillary Clinton. That makes him as conservative as Donald Trump.

[sagar]

But Trump can be OUR nasty narcissist President.

[JennysCool]

Please. On February 4, you said he was endorsing Rubio.

If you listened to Rush’s three hours daily, you would find that he praises and criticizes (some get criticized more often than others!) the candidates on a daily basis. He is NOT endorsing anyone, just giving his opinion as the campaign goes on.

[luvie]

Yes. He can.

[luvie]

I don’t think he will. He has so many liberal ideas that it just scares me!
