Monday on his radio show, Limbaugh argued that Cruz is “positioned…ideally” and if something happens to Trump, “We’re not shut out here.” Limbaugh praised Cruz, “We still have someone in our roster that opposes every bit of the Democrat agenda, perhaps more than anybody else in the race and that’s Cruz. I mean Cruz does not have in his record any statement like Trump does of having supported certain things the Democrats have done. Cruz is inarguably thoroughbred conservative.” Rush Limbaugh: I think that there is a dark horse in this entire thing, and I think there is one candidate...

Popular radio show host Rush Limbaugh is slamming the House Freedom Caucus for facilitating the donor-class’ push to anoint Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as Speaker of the House.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number one. You know, big kerfuffle, big kerfuffle yesterday over Trump and his comments about George W. Bush. (imitating Trump) "Hey," Trump said, "he was in office when 9/11 happened. I mean, we weren't safe, we weren't safe, 9/11 happened." Trump says, "Jeb's out there saying he kept us safe. Maybe afterward, but we weren't safe before it because it happened." And Trump's saying, "I'm not blaming anybody. I'm not blaming George Bush. I'm just telling you what happened." Well, it turns out Trump has written about this in a book that he...

RUSH: To the audio sound bites we go, and I'm gonna go ahead and use this as a transition. Grab sound bite number six. Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a sound bite from C-SPAN Washington Journal today. The guest is the Democratic Socialists of America executive director Maria Svart, S-v-a-r-t, and during the viewer call-in segment a guy from Pennsylvania named Roger says this... ROGER: Ronald Reagan successfully brainwashed about 45% of the nation's people with the help of Rush Limbaugh. And if you use keywords like "socialist" and "demagogue," they right away think "communist," and they...

RUSH: Well, what's the question? (interruption) Snerdley wants to know how does anybody overcome Trump's 67% essential approval rating on the economy if you're another Republican nominee. You have to hope that something's gonna happen to force Trump out. It really is stunning. The polling data that we shared earlier, it's a CNN poll. And this number, it's a poll of Nevada and South Carolina, where Trump is leading by 16 points, Nevada, 18 points in South Carolina, and he's way ahead in both states where voters are asked which Republican has the best chance of winning the general election....

When Dan Rather filed suit against CBS 14 months ago -- claiming, among other things, that his former employer had commissioned a politically biased investigation into his work on a "60 Minutes" segment about President Bush's National Guard service -- the network predicted the quick and favorable dismissal of the case, which it derided as "old news." So far, Mr. Rather has spent more than $2 million of his own money on the suit. And according to documents filed recently in court, he may be getting something for his money. Using tools unavailable to him as a reporter — including...

CALLER:...Out of all the conservative candidates that we have, which do you think -- and I'm deliberately choosing my words this way. Which do you think is the most hostile and intolerant toward liberalism? RUSH: Well, can I rephrase that? Because those words "hostile" and "intolerant" do not describe the person that I would answer that question about. I know what you mean. You really want to know who among other candidates is most anti-liberal, is the most opposed to liberalism as part of his existence, policy and everything else? And there's one clear answer. Put your hand up if...

"Who among other candidates is most anti-liberal, is the most opposed to liberalism as part of his existence, policy and everything else? And there's one clear answer. Put your hand up if you know who it is. Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is the answer to your question, Roberto. If you're looking for the Republican candidate who is the most steadfastly opposed to liberalism, whose agenda is oriented toward stopping it and thwarting it and defeating it, it is Ted Cruz." Listen to the audio.

Remember 2012, when the most vulnerable issue for Democrats was the overwhelmingly unpopular imposition of ObamaCare? The Establishment stuck Republicans with Mitt Romney, who couldn’t use the issue because he was responsible for imposing ObamaCare’s prototype on Massachusetts. Since it looks like Obama will keep Shrillary out of jail, she remains the Democrat frontrunner for 2016. Her most vulnerable point is her illegal use of a private email server for top secret communications, presumably to cover her influence peddling activities. When the server was subpoenaed by Congress, she tried to wipe it — an arrogant crime that would land you...

Here’s conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s take on why Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is doing so well at the moment… From The Blaze: Rush Limbaugh said on his radio program Friday that he believes the mainstream media is “hyping” Carly Fiorina in an attempt to “get rid” of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. Limbaugh offered the theory after a listener called into his program complaining that the former Hewlett-Packard CEO is “evil” and will do “anything she can to get ahead.” The listener contended Fiorina is a “political insider” and asked “why the media keeps hiding everything on her.” “Because...

RUSH: Okay, grab sound bite number three. This a prediction that I made going into the debate last night. I said it yesterday on this program. RUSH ARCHIVE: Somebody's gonna have some sort of secret bit of information about Trump that we haven't heard before that they're gonna accuse him of. Or they're gonna run lists of names by him and make him defend his relationship with them or his knowledge of them, or some such "gotcha" technique as that. RUSH: And, of course, it did happen, as Jeb Bush accused Trump of trying to bribe him to set up...

No link, Rush just said it. He said he hears that iCarly has been given the assignment by the RNC to take down Trump. Presumably in the CNN debate tomorrow. That's the reason she was added to the program at the last second. Rush meandered in to this after talking about Prince Rebus and how he doesn't even know the RNC Chairman.

RUSH: So I see they're giving Miss America a little trouble here. You know, I was a judge in the Miss America Pageant some years ago, and it's a lot harder work than anybody thinks. In fact, one of the judges, some Hollywood comedian, quit after the orientation when he figured out it was more than just looking at women in bathing suits. And I'm not kidding. He was stupefied at the fact that it was gonna take eight to 10 hours a day for five straight days to judge the pageant. He just could not believe it, so he...

RUSH: I was telling Mr. Snerdley today, I'm a little frustrated. It's not even the real word for it. But I'm doing show prep today, and I'm watching some in the media last night, and everything they're talking about: things we did days ago on this program. For example, two days ago we spent so much time talking about the Iranian nuclear deal and the way the House and the Senate could go about defeating it, and I was bouncing off a great column written by my friend Andrew McCarthy at National Review Online. The sum total of it was...

Did I hear Rush say that we should be willing to vote for Trump even with all of his baggage and left leaning positions and support for Democrats!? He said the RNC told us to support McCain and Romney (and I think he threw Bush in there) so we should have no trouble supporting Trump. That's some kind of rallying cry for conservatives. So would someone please tell me what Trump stands for (other than saying he'll build the fence and deport gang members), and why (other than you want to believe that he has changed) why anyone would trust...

On his Thursday radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh hit back at those criticizing GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump for challenging his opponent, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL), for not speaking English to a press gaggle earlier this week.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here is Shari in Valparaiso, Indiana, as we stick with the phones here on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi, Shari. Great to have you here. CALLER: Hi, Rush, glad to talk to you again. RUSH: You bet. CALLER: I have a question for you. First of all, do you remember how people have been calling you over the months and they've been all depressed about the country and upset with the direction we're going and saying that, you know, they think America is over and stuff like that? And you said to them that you didn't know...

Wednesday on his radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh discussed the backlash within certain conservative circles to the candidacy of GOP front-runner Donald Trump. Limbaugh specifically focused Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens, who unleashed a scathing attack in the Journal earlier this week aimed at Trump and his supporters.

I was wondering why a polling outfit (CNN/ORC) is now all of a sudden trusted by conservatives? If not, then say so. If it is all of a sudden now trusted by conservatives...I thought that CNN is a liberal outfit and not to be trusted? Limbaugh seems to be going after CNN for their Morten Downey Jr. documentary on TV as somehow being used to juxtapose against Trump, and for their interviews of Trump supporters, and wondering if they are going to hand-pick the worst of the worst in those interviews to somehow paint all Trump supporters in a negative...
