and what would the reason for that be, oh wise one?! It's this type of shallow analysis, where he refuses to take it to the level of explaining what's really going on, that people can't take Rush seriously anymore.
Limbaugh is off the rails with Cruz. he can go down with lyin Ted..what a shame
The GOPe are country club Republicans, blue bloods as it were, who only associate with their own kind. They respect power, social standing, and money, in that order. Minorities and the working class are vulgarities who exist to service them and nothing more. They came to dominate the Republican Party as the Democrats solidified their seemingly permanent hold on power in DC and turned the GOP into a reliable and compliant minority that was assured safe seats and all the pork and hookers they wanted in return for acceding to their Democrat betters. The top of the party, which we now call the GOPe, prospered financially and socially by this arrangement while having no responsibility for governing. It was the perfect setup for them.
Then the party was literally and figuratively wrecked by one man: Ronald Reagan. His challenge to Gerald Ford in 1976 ushered in the conservative wave that culminated in his election in 1980 and Senate takeover by the Republicans. It brought unwashed hordes into the party—fiscal and social conservatives, evangelicals and troublemakers who challenged the Democrats at every turn.
This completely roiled the GOPe and they have hated Reagan and conservatives ever since. It's why the GOPe fight hardest and viciously against conservatives while playing nice with the Democrats. It's why those of us who know say that the GOPe are fine with a Hillary presidency. And it's why Rush said what he said. He knows it. His audience knows it. Now you know it.
