This entire presentation is worth listening to. But if you don't want to listen to all of it, at least fast forward to 17:30 and learn what the new right,..the "alt" right is composed of.
If the GOP is to have a future, this is it.
If the GOP doesn't want it, it will find another outlet. But this the future for those who want to battle liberalism,..and it's already started. Trump is it's first representative.
Great lecture. Listened to all of it. Thanks

If you think Cruz was systematically destroyed, wait until Trump starts on Clinton.
There is a lot more material to work with, and a longer history of her actions that there was with Cruz.
Trump lives in the mud. Hillary couldn't stand going up against Grandpa Sanders from Burlington, and kept trying to get him to "settle down the rhetoric".
Trump may not come out of this looking good, but Hillary is going to end up looking a lot worse, and weak, and crooked.
By Nick Gass 5/4/16 To hear Rush Limbaugh tell it Wednesday, it was a miracle Ted Cruz made it as far as he did in the Republican race for president. Accused of being the infamous Zodiac killer, mocked for his relationship with his children and constantly targeted by the media and his fellow candidates — though he declined to mention a certain presumptive nominee by name — the Texas senator bore a burden greater, Limbaugh said, than the radio host has ever shouldered himself. But the conservative movement did not die with Cruz's defeat in Indiana on Tuesday night, Limbaugh told listeners. "I think what happened is that another conservative messenger was systematically, piece by piece, destroyed," he declared, calling it the "normal course of things." [...] Going into the Republican race, Cruz was likely as prepared as they could be for some attacks from the Republican and Democratic establishments, Limbaugh suggested. "He knew he had made enemies in the Republican establishment, and he knew that the media and the Democrat Party are automatic enemies," he continued. "But here’s what I don’t know: I don’t know just how equipped anybody is to cheerfully, happily live each and every day with the kind of garbage, lies, filth spewed about you and your family multiple times a day. And yet we’re told that the conservative must be cheerful and must be happy and must be a happy warrior." [...] "Stop and think of that for just a second," Limbaugh commented, asking listeners to put themselves in Cruz's shoes. "Ted Cruz loves America as much as anybody," Limbaugh said, ticking off a list of Cruz's political and personal virtues. "And then he has to get up every day and read stories in the media about how he is so mean and he is so vicious and so Hitler-like that his daughters will not even be in the same room with him because he scares them so much," he continued. "I mean, the stuff that was said about Cruz and his family — long before the Rafael Cruz-Lee Harvey Oswald stuff started, long before the Zodiac killer stuff started. It’s nothing that any other conservative had to put up with." [...] "My question is, how does anybody go through that? I mean, you’re running for president, you have these desperately held beliefs, you think that we’re in a national crisis. You’re frustrated because so many people don’t see it that way," he said. "You’re hellbent on convincing them. You’re hellbent on trying to explain to them why you’re doing what you’re doing. You’re very earnest about it. You care about it so much that you’re doing everything that you can to get people to listen to you. And every time you open your mouth, some fool is out making fun of you, destroying you, with lies, innuendo and so forth. Do you not at some point say: 'This can’t be done?'"
In the face of claims about Cruz that are "demonstrably not true" and that "everybody laughs about," Limbaugh confided, "I haven’t gone through much worse than that."
Cruz doesn't have an ideological problem. He is a true defender and believer in the Constitution. Cruz is hated because he is a failure at communicating with the masses. He speaks in a "debate or TV evangelist" form regardless of the setting. Everything is dramatic and comes across as memorized. Common people don't talk like that. He makes enemies of other politicians, whom he must depend upon to reach his goals, by alienating them, calling them names in public, and creating a "holier than thou" persona. He acts like a Pharisee in public, which is a big tun off to the masses. Because he has such poor personality/communication traits, he can't succeed in a national election.
However, these traits would be less likely to hurt him on the Supreme Court where his debating skills and intellect would be more agreeable.
the pc, or politically correct crowd believes that a female should be at the top of the ticket. i mean, we've made room for the minorities such as the blacks, and now it's time for a female. she's been waiting patiently in line. like Romney, he was patient for his time to come also.
but now, the apple cart appears to be upset by the rancor of the masses. why aren't we addressing the problems we and this country are facing? why business as usual for the elites while the commoners are being kicked to the curb?
what the average commoner wants to see is progress for the working & middle classes. and who comes closest among the 3 candidates to offer that opportunity?

It's interesting that Limbaugh would come to Cruz's defense at this time, when he was very recently so far into Trumps pockets that I suspect he was fingering the billiard balls. But until Bernie gets canned - and he will- no poll will show us a true reflection of how Trump compares to Hillary.
When all of that is finally washed out, then we can begin to polish the turds we have so carefully selected, hoping to ascertain which of them takes on the glowsmells the way we like.

Cruz, Kasich, Bush, Rubio, Huckabee, et al were clueless and remain clueless. They just don't get it, the massive undercurrent of anger that crosses party lines.
"Trump is the warning shot. He’s the food riots before the revolution. He’s the stack of letters to the editor in protest over some issue. People do not go from happy to bloody revolt overnight. It’s a process and the early stages are warnings, at least they should be viewed as warnings. If the people in Washington insist on flooding the country with helot labor, despite what’s happening in the election, the people are going to insist on building scaffolds in Washington. The Trump phenomenon is the warning."

Cruz was a top gun in the Heller case. February 19, 2016 How Scalia and Ted Cruz Saved the 2nd Amendment By Daniel John Sobieski ...What few people know -- and the media won’t remind them -- is that Ted Cruz was a prime mover in getting Heller, in which Scalia wrote the majority opinion, before the Court and decided in favor of gun rights, ruling that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right and that the word “militia”, as the Founders intended, meant the “whole people” of the United States. If Heller had gone the other way, our gun rights would have been thrown on the ash heap of history.
In January Cruz told CNN:
I represented 31 states in the Heller case, which upheld the individual right to keep and bear arms. You know what Barack Obama's position is? That there is no individual right to keep and bear arms whatsoever under the Constitution… Hillary Clinton, for example, has said she will put Supreme Court justices on the court who will overturn Heller. And if Heller is overturned… there were four justices who said that there is no individual right to keep and bear arms whatsoever, that it is only a collective right in the militia, which is fancy lawyer talk for a nonexistent right… [If] Hillary Clinton gets one more Supreme Court justice, what it would mean is, the Supreme Court would say you and I and every individual American have no constitutional right under the Second Amendment at all, and either the federal government or a state government could make it a crime to possess a firearm.

I think Rush is trying to save his audience, many of whom are conservative Constitutionalists. Over the past few days, leading up to Indiana, Rush has had several callers questioning his "Conservative Credentials." I think he made a business decision by publicly backing Cruz on Tuesday.

well, for god's sakes, some one seems to be getting it. unless there was a worthy reason, nobody would be voting for an ultra-rich investor/owner who has been married more than once.
but, here we are. and why is that?
it's because he is beginning to scratch the surface of just how badly unbalanced the system has become. can he fix it? of course not, at least not without the masses electing to unite behind him to attempt to fix it.
if it can't be fixed, then Katy Bar the Door. and if he can't do it, then whom?
i think he wants us to take the bull by the horns?

Is that a question? Who is "he"? How does one "take the bull by the horns"?
Takes balls!

Kind of pathetic, really. Trump scares the GOPe, but so does Cruz. At the last minute, they decide Cruz is their last hope to stop Trump from pooping their party (well - those not deluding themselves over Kasich). This, after having spent so much drama on trying to beat Cruz earlier, when they thought Trump wasn't going anywhere.
I know that Rush understands that so many of us are tired of getting stabbed in the back by the GOPe. We can only hope that the same sentiment exists against the elite in the Dems. I do see signs of exactly that. Seems to me that the populace is primed for an establishment-challenging event.

“When Cruz tells the story of his role in the landmark Second Amendment case known as Heller, he leaves ample room for listeners to assume he was one of the principle lawyers in the Supreme Court victory. His actual role, as author of one of 70 friend of the court briefs, had little known effect on the outcome
His actual role, as author of one of 70 amicus curiae briefs in the case, had little known effect on the outcome — except, perhaps, in urging a pragmatic course, one that clashes with his gun positions today

The GOP has exactly what they planned on since Bush flushed. All they have to do now is protect Hillary.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
