Rush is the only commentator I hate to lose. He's just been a conservative rock for so long ... reassuring and entertaining combined. I think he is mostly for Trump now because he's hated Hillary so long and I have also but, as someone said, she is the second most horrible candidate running.
I think it's because Trump is a friend - I suspect, a closer friend than he's admitted to.
They both lived in Manhattan, at about the same time. Now they both live in West Palm Beach.
Trump has sold his name to some golf courses - and I guess he plays. Limbaugh plays - not pro level, but the celebrity-golfer circuit. Limbaugh doesn't golf alone and he doesn't golf with the guy who fixes his Maybach cars.
He no doubt golfs with players about his age, in his social circles, with similar experiences.
He's never dropped names...but I'd bet he's done many, many rounds with Trump.
Now he's older, and not that healthy; and either his judgment is clouding or he just doesn't care. He's helping his friend.
I'd seen a squishening of Limbaugh earlier...he was very receptive to Marco Gang-Of-Eight Rubio. Another RINO sellout...although compared to Trump, he does look positively Presidential. But more and more, Limbaugh is embracing the squish.
It may be an age thing. Remember Senator George Voinovich? OUTSTANDING Mayor of Cleveland. A better-than-average Ohio governor. But by the time he got to the Senate, in his sixties, he was all squishy moderate...as bad as McConnell. If there was a bad idea, you'd find Ohio George right in the middle of it.
Age seems to do that to many people.
