What a devastating piece. Rush will not recover from this, his betrayal of his own audience. They may stick with him through the election, but when Trump loses in a landslide, the words of "caller Rick" will be prescient:
But this is why Trump is going to get annihilated. Because nobody called him out early on about his absurd policies
The Trumpsters have been betrayed. Not that it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch, but the rest of us will be victims too - of the next four years of Democratic hegemony. This could have been prevented, if so-called opinion leaders like Rush had hinted early on that Trump simply wasn't to be believed, that rounding up and deporting 11 million immigrants wasn't serious policy, that building a beautiful thousand-mile wall was nothing more than puffery to fool an audience desperate to believe.
Rush instead chose to pander to his audience, and treat them like children, stuffing them with Trump's sugar and lauding them on their perceptivity and righteous anger.
May Rush be damned to live in Hillary Clinton's America like the rest of us. May he be stripped of all respectability like Jimmy Swaggert was.
It is time for conservatives to take names and prepare for the coming reckoning. Rush, Ingraham, Hannity - the lot of 'em, abject betrayers of their audience, and prime catalysts for the next Clinton presidency. Damn them all.
