Do you mean in the sense that it was an uphill battle, or "How dare he run against Trump? How is he being so disloyal?"

I'd agree with the first that it was an uphill battle, but what we usually hear here are versions of the second.

It would scare me to if I was bat crazy like yourself to show you how many people really feel like rush he wouldn't be making 16 mil a year if a majority if the country didn't feel like he does besides the biggest trick the ie mom ever pulled was having the majority think that the minority sway opinions

WTF are you talking about? We are watching it play out in real time why he would have questioned it. Desantis's brand is getting damaged.

If you want to purposefully stupid, that's on you. I'm not going to pretend that Trump hasn't been attacking DeSantis for over a year now, and the sycophants response has been "so what it's election season".

So to you, i say, stop being soft, so what, it's election season, deal with it.

I mean in the sense like I replied to AC. His brand is being damaged. He should have waited until 2028. Trump plays dirty, is an a-hole and does not pull punches. Good bad or indifferent.

Which exactly why Rush would question it. Stop hurling insults and listen to what I am trying to say. Desantis has very little chance of beating Trump. All he is doing is hurting his chances in the future. I don't give a frick who gets the nomination because I will vote them.

There is a huge void in conservative talk and strategy without Rush ... And no one has seemed to try to replicate him. What Rush did, that no one else has done, is dig into the strategy of the Democrats based on their current time actions. He would foretell his listeners what the Democrats were doing , why they were doing it, and THEN he would expose the Democrats future moves that they were leading up to.

All the other political shows only react to what is happening with zero 8nsight or intelligence of why and what to watch out for coming down the line.

Buck & Clay aren’t filling his shoes.
So much of what Rush said has come to pass. I don’t think he’d imagine we’d see things this bad.

If he's anything like me, he didn't see this happening. I didn't.

Not for the life of me would I have thought people would have turned on a guy most loved simply because Trump (and allies) told them to. Not a guy with the track record DeSantis has in Florida.

I'm sure he thought this would be a contest about job performance, policies, etc. And if Trump DID go dirty, people would see it for what it was...just bullshite being spewed in an election.

But you can see it on this board...most hard core Trump people BELIEVE the obvious lies he's said about DeSantis, so much so, that you may be right that DeSantis could potentially be done after this. Only person that helps is Trump, 'cause it sure doesn't help "us."

Maybe Rush would have seen that ahead of time, though I tend to think he'd have had more faith in our side not to buy such bullshite as this.

Yep and I just don't like Dana Loesch at all. Just unoriginal and uninteresting to listen to.

I've been surprised how so many young people don't understand is effect on the media and how influential he was. His solid calming takes on issues of the day helped us look at it differently. Yes, today there are several people who give good takes on today's political environment but nothing like Rush. Yes I miss him.

Nope, they dont measure up, I'd rather listen to Michael Berry or even Jesse Kelly in that time slot.

Would Rush choose a side between Trump and DeSantis?
If so it would be unusual. Rush had a policy of never making primary endorsements.

He kept the "Republican establishment" reasonably in check and connected to the voting public.

What you're seeing now is what happens when there's nobody to do that.

There's no national figure anymore to force them to even at least pretend they have to take a stand against what's going on.


He was paid by the Republican establishment to keep YOU in check.

I can't believe that idiot conned so many of you.

I don’t think Rush ever publicly supported or endorsed a candidate during the primaries. Said that’s not something he believed in doing.

I guess the fact that you didn't really understand what I was getting at and have the ability to see the difference in what's currently happening, is not surprising.

You're misinterpreting what is happening.

I've told you the correct interpretation if you were able to look at the situation objectively. Unfortunately, I think at this point your ego is too attached to all this to admit you got GOT.
