Rush Limbaugh: Rubio is a Full-Throated Conservative, Not Establishment; We Got Reaganites In Two of the Top Three Places —Ace

Well!

The long-asked question, when would Limbaugh begin advocating against Trump, turns out to be "today."

 

He also said that Trump lost Iowa because he attacked Cruz "like a liberal Democrat" -- which is, you know, True.

 

Trump's brand was -- I thought -- to kick the Washington layabouts and con artists in the ass. But half of his attacks on Cruz were of the variety, "He doesn't get along with those layabouts and con artists enough; he can't make Great Deals with those layabouts and con artists, like I can."

 

This is the problem with a complete lack of ideology. Sure, it frees you up to say some things that need saying, but you're also unmoored from any kind of consistent pattern of thought. The guy who's promising to shake up Washington can't make it his case in chief against another guy that that other guy is going to shake up Washington.
