Secondly, Rush tended to favor Ted Cruz during the primary. But he refused to torpedo Trump after the Cruz campaign collapsed.
Trump was the better campaigner and takes muslim immigration more seriously than Cruz. That’s it in the nutshell.
Here is Rush’s problem from the beginning: while he was a Cruz guy he tried to straddle Cruz/Trump because I think he knew Trump would win. (You can really hear the bitterness in his voice when he talks about how Trump beat these “16 guys.”)
Now, as an “analyst” that Rush positions himself to be, he utterly failed to explain NOT JUST WHY TRUMP WON, but why Cruz lost and why conservatives and evangelicals did NOT support him.
That is key, because to do so would have exposed CRUZ’S weaknesses. Rush still doesn’t get that part of his job was to explain why Cruz didn’t catch fire.
