Limbaugh spent the better part of eight months hyping Trump. Make no mistake, Rush hosted a daily three hour trumpathon. He was nasty towards McCain and Romney in 2008 and 2012. But when it came to Trump, he simply marveled at how others "still don't get it."
We got it perfectly well. Prior to announcing, Donald buttered him up on the golf course and elsewhere, just like he lobbied the other media personalities. Thenceforth, Rush felt obligated to shield Donald from serious critique. In so doing he shredded his credibility as an advocate for conservatism. He needs to retire.
