It's hilarious to read the Rush-bashing comments from those dopes. Obviously, they never listen to the program. Rush has been an out an out Trump fanboy ever since he clinched the nomination. Even before that he was very careful talking about Trump. No other candidate with such a lack of conservative positions would have gotten the softball treatment Limbaugh has given Trump.
And then on the show today he attacked people who won't vote for Trump because of the Orange One's lack of character/principles.  Rush pooh-poohed all their objections as being childish. Because every candidate says stuff like Trump said during the primaries.
 Except they don't.  I'm 66, and I've never heard a candidate say the things Trump has said about members of his own party.  I think Rush has gone 'round the bend.

Besides what I've already said previously about Rush seeing himself in Trump...the thing that made it clear to me he was all in for Trump was how he totally demolished JEB Bush for saying his goal was to win the nomination without the base.  I mean he took Jebby apart over those comments.

But he's totally given Trump a pass for literally doing what Bush said he wanted to do.

I've said the same thing and was flamed in here by people like @Bigun .

People will simply not accept the truth sometimes, unfortunately.

The problem here is not what Limbaugh says about Trump...it's what he doesn't say that he should should that causes alarm among Conservatives.

There is a long and well documented list of particulars that show Trump isn't a Conservative and has more in Hillary than with the GOP base and yet Rush glosses over it when he's not ignoring it outright.

You're in denial, Bigun. A few throwaway pro-Cruz statements doesn't excuse Limbaugh's fingerprints all over this Trump debacle. He's by far the most visible conservative voice out there. If anyone could have stopped Trump it was Limbaugh. And he choose cowardice over principle.

I am no such thing and have said so repeatedly!  But I don't deny the whole truth either!  Rush made VERY CLEAR statements on several occasions that went something like this "For Conservatives there is NO OTHER  CHOICE but Ted Cruz in this!"

Do you deny that he did that?

The disconnect is that you don't believe that Rush in in the tank for Trump.

Like I said...it's not what Rush said about Trump or Cruz that people should worry about.

It's what he remained silent on or spun in favor of Trump that should worry everyone. 

He never endorsed Cruz...never defended him from the attacks by Trump.  Hell rush even used the whole "Lyin Ted" crap when talking about Trump and Cruz.  Someone onthe proper side of objectivity wouldn't do that except to criticize the use of the slur.

Rush never did that.  To the best of my knowledge he never advised "Mr. Trump" as he reverently refers to him...that the sneer and smear campaign he was running was going to seriously alienate a majority of the GOP base.

He always explained away what Trump was doing.

He said it definitively once...then would mention it quickly in passing when dealing with callers critical of Trump.

He has picked apart RINO's like Kasich...Bush...McCain...etc.  In fact I would say that Rush is the reason JEB Bush's campaign imploded as early as it did.  He was constantly bringing up how the Bush's and the Clinton's had cozied up.  He's connections with Hillary.

But has NEVER cast a critical eye on Trump.  Never.  And there are piles of evidence out there that Rush should have jumped on in regards to Orange Wonderful...that he hasn't and he won't.

Well I guess one of us doesn't recognize an endorsement when we hear one but for me "For Conservatives there is no other choice but Ted Cruz" is pretty damned clear!  And he said that loudly and clearly on more than one occasion.


Should he have taken Trump down? Yes he should have! And since Ted dropped out he has been all Trump all the time. I can no longer listen to him but the truth is the truth!

The entire world would recognize an endorsement from Rush...because it would be the first time in a primary he'd EVER done that.

It didn't happen.

It was Trump all the time before.  And if Rush was truly behind Cruz...he could have done more to help him...instead he chose to help his golfing buddy.

I agree with you, tx.  If he really backed Cruz, it would have been clear.  All I heard, when I had a chance to listen more than a few minutes, was Trump, Trump, Trump.

That's why I'm no longer a Rush listener................ after more than 20 years.

I still listen occasionally to Rush on my lunch break. The day before Cruz suspended his campaign, Cruz had gone out to try and engage some Trump supporters, in person. All the Trump supporters did was shout "Lyin' Ted" at Cruz while Cruz tried to talk to them. Rush was railing against the Trump supporters, saying how it angered him, this kind of non-thinking stupidity, which I agreed with. It was the most anti-Trump I ever heard Rush. But I had been a daily Rush listener up until December or so, when I because disgusted with how much Rush defended Trump. He did make some throwaway pro-Cruz statements, but all I heard was him talking about how great it was that the media couldn't hurt Trump, how Trump loved liberty because Trump was a billionaire and had a reality TV show, etc. etc. When Trump said McCain wasn't a war hero because McCain was captured, I was certain that Trump was through, but I turned on Rush and all he could do was rave about how the media cannot hurt Trump.

If Trump implodes conservatism I will blame Rush more than anyone else. I don't care how angry it makes his supporters here.

I understand, Bigun.  I heard him say that about Cruz once or twice also.  But I never once heard him take to task how liberal Trump always has been and still is.  And the percentage of time he was praising him, or just talking about him was overwhelming.

He has always talked about Conservatism as though it's a guiding principle for him........ as it is for the rest of us.

Trump proved that it's not.  So I am no longer a listener.

Conservatism was his strong suit, and now it's gone
