Here's one take on Rush. He held sway over GOP primary voters, which pushes the candidates right. Unfortunately for them, that will make winning general elections more difficult. Rush gave us Trump, the only one-term President to lose the popular vote twice, be impeached twice, and who will face a lifetime of legal troubles. Every time his name is in the news it will remind people of what a POS he is. So long as the GOP hitches its wagon to him he'll drag it into the gutter.
Rush will be remembered as a liar, blasphemer, blowhard who split the country, who made "compromise" a dirty word, a profane, egotistical fchop who used his entertainment talent to enrich himself but damage the country. Good riddance.
