Yeah, Rush wasn’t much of a “Trumpist” before election night 2016.

I heard the comment Rush made live. He wasn’t taken out of context, he went wobbly with victory in sight.

Rush thought Trump would lose. I believe he WANTED Trump to lose.

Care to legitimize that ignorant statement by providing facts?

As a side note, so what, he's fully on board with Trump now........so what's your problem?

Divide and conquer, which one are you holding the pitchfork?

Harriet: "Who we going after today?"

Larry: "I'm not sure, lets go after Rush"

Harriet: "Then why are we going after him?"

Larry: "Didn't you read that article in the New York Times or The Hill? Didn't you see what CNN said about him?"

Harriet: "Oh, OK......Could you please relight my torch?"

“Yeah, Rush wasn’t much of a “Trumpist” before election night 2016.”

He was sufficient on our side, in my opinion, after Trump had wrapped it up at the convention. Anyone listening to his show for those months would have been convinced that Rush was all for Trump.

But, yes, before. Rush really seemed to like Cruz (after he got over his bubble-bath fantasies). It was rough, though, seeing Rush support a candidate who didn’t have a chance in hell of winning (sorry Cruz, but prayer-breakfasts only turn on about 5% of the country).

In any case, since the convention, EVERY TIME I listen to Rush he seems to support Trump. But Rush is paranoid, with justification, about the idea that free speech could be squelched...so he has a reflexive reaction to protect what he considers ‘free speech’, even if that includes giving the finger to your fans.

He did screw up here...hopefully he learns his lesson. For many of us who have followed him, we understand that a flat-out attack on the media regarding the day-before show is his way of ‘apologizing’.
