Alas! So it seems. Eventually they all go the way of Walter Cronkite. It is so much easier to make the news than to tell the truth.

It doesn’t matter whom Rush actually votes for. That is one vote. He has a bully pulpit and he could have chosen to be pro-constitution and anti- cheap labor. He could have influenced people who don’t understand there is a ruling oligarchy.

He chose to kiss oligarchy butt.

If Trumpsters are to believed, Cruz has five women. That would make him an alpha male.

Not when you have to pay for it or employ it, it doesn't.

Actually, it's the George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, small government, position on trade but I realize some people don't read any history.

Oh, and the Republican position from Lincoln to Eisenhower, too.

The mistake many folks make, is claiming that Trump is not Conservative.

That sure as - - - - didn’t bother anyone when Bush was president. It didn’t bother anyone when McCain was running. It didn’t bother anyone when Romney was running.

Trump is to the right of any of these folks, and I go further and state that is by a mile.

On the border issue alone, he just destroys these folks.

Bush allowed our military to languish. He allowed our Navy to shrink. Some of the rules of engagement parameter just sucked.

Trump wants to build up our military again.

I could go down the list, but Trump gets it far better than those other guys. And most folks decided to back them.

Now Trump isn’t a Conservative. That’s a bald faced lie.

There are at least ten basic instances of Trump getting main stream issues right, and still being trashed as not a Conservative.

Folks, we are doing a disservice to this man. We owe him a massive apology.

We asked him to adopt our views and he has.

And here we sit trashing him for not being a Conservative.

That angers me.

Limbaugh is no longer credible. I had been listening to him since 1992.

You must have not been around here in 2008 and 2012. It bothered the hell out of Conservatives. Quite a few stayed home rather than vote for McCain or Romney.

No, he is not at least when it comes to Mitt Romney. I won't vouch for McCain. There is not a single position where Trump is to the right of Romney.

Since some folks don’t like the labels alpha or beta from the Greek Alphabet...

I will put it this way: Ted is perceived by many Trump followers as a limp wristed weakling, who picks fights to get attention from the girls at school and then runs to the Principal’s office with a bloody nose after he gets a dose of reality. The very next day he comes to school wearing the closest thing he could find at Target, to the exact same sweater that the nose buster was wearing yesterday...

He reminds some men of the guys who used to talk tough inside the club, but would never play a pickup game of street football without pads or not suit up for the big game, because they have a sore wrist... it isn’t safe, doncha know.

Indeed, a twinkie little sister-boy COULD get hurt. (granted, this is a minor micro aggression against twinkie boys)

BTW I know you love Ted... and I am on the other side of this issue. But I really don’t like him. And when this is over... we got to have a definite A type personality to nail Hillary’s fat back side. Ted might try to talk her into a loss intellectually... But Trump will do his best to INFLICT a horrific and brutal loss on her highness.

I dont believe that Trump OR Cruz’s negatives are anywhere near as HIGH as Hillary’s are really... I think the negatives talking point narrative is part of a push poll effort to shape the election... by the globalists and media conspirators.

Total bull s—t!

Romney wanted to change Obamacare to Romneycare, pure and simple.

Romney did not want to close the border, send people home, or build a wall.

Romney did not have big plans to build up the military.

What the sam hell are you talking about?

Not true. Romney wanted to repeal ObamaCare and leave it up to the States.


Romney did not want to close the border, send people home, or build a wall.

Romney proposed enforcing current border and immigration laws. He also proposed ending all taxpayer support for illegals (health care, education, etc.) and enforcing laws against hiring illegals - basically making it so difficult for them to stay that they would go back on their own accord. Trump proposes expediting their return back into the US after touching down outside the border. As for the wall, Romney did not support such a massive grandiose public works project.


Romney did not have big plans to build up the military.

Romney proposed increasing military spending as well as increasing the size of the military.

That’s out and out fantasy.

Why do you think we didn’t support the guy nimrod?

If he had proposed those things and stayed true to Conservatism, we would have supported him in the campaign.

He didn’t. We didn’t.

God you Curz folks are a bunch of outright...

It’s straight from his platform. At the time, Trump criticized Romney’s self-deportation plan as being “mean”. You can remain in denial all you want. But the public record is out there for anyone to see. Would you like me to find that quote from Trump?

I don’t care what you dig up. You can shove it.

Romney was heralding Romneycare again last year, and claiming it’s what got Obamacare passed. Then he went on to take credit for getting a lot of folks coverage.

He was so proud.

Here’s a link: http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2015/10/mitt-romney-obamacare-romneycare

What is the end statement. He wanted Obamacare replaced with state crafted plans. That’s not private sector. It’s Romneycare in every state.

Good grief!

It’s not conservative to raise tariffs, a.k.a. taxes on almost everything people buy at retail stores like Walmart.

It’s not conservative to beg the government to prop up companies and industries with crony capitalism when they can’t survive on their own in the free marketplace.

Cruz is going to slash taxes and regulations which is the real problem for some U.S. companies. Cruz is going to get the government out of the way so companies can be more competitive. That is pro-American and pro-capitalism 100%.

Because Romney clearly was a man who had lived out northeastern liberal values all his life and only flip-flopped on them to pander to conservative voters in a GOP primary campaign. The exact same thing a certain fair-haired boy has done this time around.

So, a caller tells Rush what he believes and Rush tells him he’s wrong. Okay.

Like many others on this thread, I quit listening to Rush several months ago. What did it for me was his over the top support of Rubio and trying to sell me on what a conservative he (Rubio) was. The gang of eight soured me on Rubio before the campaign ever got started.

Regarding your comment, I agree entirely. I would call it a nothing burger with no fixin's. I think that pretty well sums up Rush's radio program these days.
