Rush likes Trump but Trump will never be conservative.

No unions there. But a smart lawyer, like Cruz, is not necessarily a good leader. I have had a burning curiosity about why Sarah Palin hates Cruz. There's something interesting and important there, since she got him into office. I know why Mitch hates Cruz, but why does Sarah?
I used to listen to Beck, Limbaugh and Levin, now I listen to Trump and get much more entertainment from Trump.
Rush likes Trump but Trump will never be conservative.
Kudos bray, well said.
He had some lean times early in his career. Big whoop. Who didn't?
I think it's a matter of his peers that Rush is struggling with--he might find himself without a prestigious golf partner.
I stopped listening to Limbaugh a while back as it is quite obvious which way his compass is directed.
Rush’s reaction is pathetic. When was the last time you heard union members voicing their support for a GOP candidate? Reagan was able to make significant gains in the working class and union families against Carter. And Rush the fat rich baby wants to soil all over this? Take your cigars Rush and &*^%$ it.
I started listening to Rush in 1994 and have been a loyal listener .... until a couple of months ago. I had to turn the radio off & it will stay off until after the election. If Trump is elected and Rush continues his current ways, then I will totally dump him for sure. As smart as Rush is, you’d think he’d “get” what is going on with many of his listeners. I definitely feel betrayed and insulted and agree with what you have said. Rush seems oblivious to it ...... I suspect brother David (a person I have admired in the past) is having a significant influence on him as he’s totally anti-Trump. Anyway, Rush can expect to see a serious drop in his listening audience, if he hasn’t seen it already (he’d never admit it). I also get the feeling that it might be time for him to have a slice or two of humble pie since wisdom seems to be lacking these days.
Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.
Understood, but he makes out like he was as a radio announcer and an ad flunky and some baseball team position.
My point is that he doesn’t identify with anyone today except the noted, millionaires, dilettantes and privileged.
Easier to just change the station. I still like to listen to music. Bye Rushie.
Is that supposed to marginalize him for his comment? Stick to the point; he is spot on accurate. The point being if your voice is one many follow then jump right in and get to it.
It is easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize someone who through timing and dedication created a powerhouse platform that brought conservatism into the main stream. It is altogether something else to be a curmudgeon and critic of ones life work because you disagree with their views. I am reminded of the two grumpy old man muppets who did nothing but bemoan and complain rather than take action and educate.
It is much harder to do the latter.
Rush’s listeners are thinking for themselves, and Rush is thinking for himself. No problem. It seems that when Trump said he had no problem with perverted men sharing the bathroom with females, which includes little girls whose dad must wait outside the door for them unless he identifies as a woman, that did it for Rush. Some people people try to say this is not true, but it is true at Trump Towers where it is allowed. Our nation has lost it’s soul. Trump is a pervert and many people, even some who call themselves believers, turn a blind eye and choose Trump over God.
Very good! Rush and David have shown themselves to be political snobs. Too bad. Get over it boys.
Rush didn’t just jump the shark. He drained the lagoon and is now dry humping it.
You owe me a new keyboard. lol
Rush has been a paid voice for the establishment since he went on the air. We heard what he said about the Democrats and the liberals but we didn’t hear him criticize the cheap labor Chamber of Commerce because he is paid by them. All those corporate sponsors—they are the ones that own him so he cannot say anything against them. He avoided talking about illegal immigration and he never said anything about *free trade* and the millions of jobs going to other countries because his masters told him to keep his mouth shut about these issues. You never know that you are being lied to if you are not being told something—it is the lies of omission that are the most difficult to spot. Rush did not complain about the millions of jobs going to foreign countries or millions of illegals jeopardizing our national sovereignty and did you ever hear him speak of the CFR?
Mass media is very expensive to own and very few people have the money to buy a television or radio network so it is not surprising that the mass media would be owned and controlled by the oligarchy which is what the United States is today. As we look back throughout history isn’t it true that rulers have always tried to control all means of expression? Why should we have thought the we would be any different? We have been living in dreamland and now we are waking up to the fact that this country has been gradually and quietly corrupted and hollowed out for a long time. Look at the delegate process. What kind of horse bleep is that anyway? This is not truly representative at all, it is about insiders pulling strings and getting their guys in office. All the skeletons are falling out of the closet.
Cruz is poison and could end up pulling down all who affiliate with him. Future victims could include National Review and the credibility of Rich Lowry and Bozell, Beck and the financial decline of his network, and maybe even Rush.
The reports of the demise and extinction of Rush Limbaugh have been greatly exaggerated.
While El Rushbo is intellectually much on the same column with Ted Cruz, that fact is, America is not, today, ready to wholeheartedly accept the person, Senator Rafael Edward Cruz, as the leader of all Americans.
By contrast, The Donald, who by no measure of the term could be called a “conservative”, has shot to the heights and may have achieved low orbit of the earth, through his accumulated fame and wealth, and shines brightly in the sky, even under a midday sun. Thus far, The Donald has spoken largely in generalities, without being so very specific on the particulars of policy, but what he has said so far appeals to a very broad swath of American opinion.
Make America Great Again as a slogan and a lofty objective resonates with what appears to be a good-sized majority, cutting across racial, religious, gender, and economic status distinctions. This is the kind of coalition that wins elections and resets the compass by which the ship of state is guided.
There is a very necessary catharsis through which America must go, and it may very well be worse before it gets better. Just stopping the hemorrhaging might be the best we can do for the moment.
We are soon to leave our dark night behind.
A simple google search will show the repeated quotes and articles Rush has spoken and written in the subject of illegal immigration, amnesty and the loss of jobs due to the above.
You may not agree with his latest statements but to either you do not listen to his program, listen occasionally or have some other grievance. To simply just loop him in with words master, cheap labor etc without actually listening to him is well lazy
That said, I think he's been very adept so far at straddling the fence.
No end of people have been bullshitting us, and making a buttload of money to boot. We're a definable market, and people want to sell us things, based on a perceived need. It can be quite lucrative, too, if you know which strings to pull.
