It was obvious from the start that Trump’s issues appealed to moderates and conservatives. But they disguised that. They didn’t just ignore it they disguised it and reported on anything else.

This really surprised me that Limbaugh would be part of the cabal. I did not think he sold out this badly.
From what I’ve seen on the Rush threads he just preferred Cruz- as the most conservative candidate.
He has always touted the most conservative in the primaries.
At least when they were viable.
It was ugly for him though as Cruz’s campaign was effectively hopeless after Trump won the southern primaries.
Ugly for Cruz too as he made increasingly desperate and unwise attempts to recover.
Actually Rush devoted a lot of time to Trump trying to explain why he was so popular, so much so that Freepers accused him of being in the tank for Trump. Many here hoped that someone would figure out why Trump was so popular and adjust their campaign but they did not.
When it became obvious that the other candidates had no clue how to adjust to the Trump phenomenon, he became openly hostile to Trump supporters. Later it became obvious that he was in the tank for Cruz, having given up on Rubio.
Today Rush is mending fences unlike so many Cruz supporters here.
