The views of the Host are not necessarily those of this station. Did you ever hear that before? Those shows are commentary, not news.
“Or are they being paid big money to sway the election in Cruz’s favor?”
Which one is always saying “Follow the money”?
same thing happened with Romney in 2012...
but just like back then, you cant get away with putting a silk snout on a pig...
I quit listening to the talk shows. Could not stand the bias.
Hi Rush!!
Hi Mark!!
Britebart appears to be pro-Trump
Now Rush claims they cut Cruz’s mike at the dinner. He has no proof. I’ve seen video where the people were milling around as Cruz spoke, but Rush claims it’s all a conspiracy against Cruz. He evidently went on and on about this supposed conspiracy.
I was listening on the Internet to the speeches. I thought it sounded like people weren’t paying attention to Kasich either.
What utter nonsense people post on this forum. In fact, Breitbart is called Trumpbart by many because he is in the bag, as is Drudge. I have a suggestion: How about Cruz and Trump have a one on one debate, like Kennedy and Nixon did, and settle it. And for all of the Trump supporters assertions that he has debated too much, I disagree. He has not debated at all, but has participated in tag team contests with 16 others. All of this other nonsense is just stupidity, on both sides. Knock it off. Stay on the issues and quit being manipulated. Othewise, relegate your gossip to Facebook, like ISIS does.
Don’t know if Levin is being paid directly, but he must be getting some form of compensation for his faux angst at Trump and the obvious shilling for Cruz.
So much so, that Levin is dangerously close to being tagged as a Cruzlim.
How many times today is this crap going to be posted? Same as yesterday like 20? Not one scintilla of proof this is happening but it keeps getting posted over and over for days. Does any reasonable person think if this story were true the FEC, FCC, and Justice department wouldn’t be all over these talk shows? This administration would like nothing better than to discredit these talk show hosts. I’m really getting sick of the Free Republic being the propagator of this crap.
P.S. Where is the evidence of the “Cruz affairs”? It’s been a month now and still no real evidence, but some here spent 2 weeks propagating that Rodger Stone myth. Give it a rest.
Payola. From Wikipedia:
“Payola, in the music industry, is the illegal practice of payment or other inducement by record companies for the broadcast of recordings on commercial radio in which the song is presented as being part of the normal day’s broadcast.”
I think the article is saying the word music can be substituted with political candidates.
Reading the article, I would have to say, I really doubt Hugh Hewitt’s support of Anybody But Trump was influenced by money. Hewitt is as GOPe as Paul Ryan or Jeb Bush. I think THAT and that alone influenced his decisions.
As for the others? Probably.
Trump will bring this to light in the public media and use it to his advantage whether it is true, false or a mix of both.
The strategic question becomes, is it better to let Cruz take away the votes from Kasich and then crush Cruz in one big swat prior to the convention (that is after you make a deal with Kasich as your VP) or to crush Cruz now and risk Kasich winning eight primaries with Cruz gone?
I really like Kasich as I remember the excellent job he did fiscally when Clinton was president. He could bring Ohio to be a red state in the general election... He not involved in a lot of scandal.... He’s smart and a hard worker.... If I were Trump, I would really do everything within my power to have Kasich as my VP... Besides, Trump doesn’t need Rubio to win Florida, that has already been proven.
The other kill shot to Cruz that I’ve been hearing, besides his harem accusations, is that both of Cruz’s parents were Canadian citizens when he was born and at that time they had to relinquish any other citizenship to become Canadian citizens. If that is true.... we have a Canadian running for U.S. president!!!
From a strategic perspective, Trump fighting with Cruz and the Republican Party moves him closer to the center and more electable by the Independents and the swing Democrats.
I think the perfect storm is brewing to position Trump in the center.
Listening to Levin, I believe he has become anti-Trump from TDS, not for money.
Anyone who thinks Brietbart is controlled by Cruz is insane. The site is derangedly pro-Trump.
I posted something related to this last night. The Cruzbots are in totally denial about everything with their boy. Quite simply, the Cruz PACs are engaging in a quasi laundering scheme, funneling marketing dollars to radio stations and hosts to secure favorable coverage of Cruz. He’s a vile little man. Trump by ballot line or write in for me.
The only answer is they are either imPACted or believe Trump is not right wing enough. To me Trump is a pragmatic businessman, and even if I do not like all of his views, I have to make compromises as he will, in prder to get a more favorable deal.
