\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike in southern Maryland. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, I\u2019m a first-time caller, long-term listener since your TV show.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate your patience in hanging on today, sir. I really do. Thank you much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I\u2019m calling because I think there\u2019s as many Tea Party people supporting Trump as there are Cruz. In fact, I\u2019d say that people could easily switch from Cruz to Trump or Trump to Cruz.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You think there are an equal number of Tea Party supporting both Cruz and Trump?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. I think basically the two front-runners are anti-establishment, and I\u2019m not convinced that a contested election — or a contested convention wouldn\u2019t mean a bunch of current Cruz people jump to Trump.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean delegate types at the convention, or —<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — voters in November?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think the media supports the horse race concept, but I think the underlying electorate for the two candidates are people that are opposed to Big Government, are upset with the way things are going, and in fact what happened in Colorado could hurt a number of people in the Cruz camp who think, “Well, it\u2019s nice that he played by the rules, but really it\u2019s just another manifestation of establishment rules that are working against us, and he took advantage of \u2019em, so let\u2019s go with Trump.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: In this case, I don\u2019t think a lot of people are gonna look at Colorado that way. I don\u2019t see a lot of people penalizing Cruz for winning Colorado basically because he\u2019s an insider establishment guy. I mean, you may be right. Let me ask you this. Do you think Cruz supporters are not bothered by Trump running around calling Cruz Lyin\u2019 Ted all the time, you think they\u2019re gonna be able to just forget that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I don\u2019t think so. I think, you know, most of the people that are out to get Trump are not Cruz supporters, but Democrats.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Take my word for it, there are a lot of Cruz supporters who detest Trump.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m sure there are some hard-core, but I think when you talk about the number that need to swing to either candidate, I think they come from the same core Tea Party people that are opposed to the establishment. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So what you\u2019re basically saying is there\u2019s gonna be unity when this is all over, that whoever, the Cruz people are going to have not as much trouble joining the Trumpists in November as people think might be the case now? And, by the same token, you think a bunch of Trumpists would not have all that much trouble joining Cruz if that becomes the result because they\u2019re essentially all Tea Party or a large part of \u2019em. Maybe, but not all of them are. There\u2019s a bunch of Democrats that support Trump and a bunch of moderates and independents, and a lot of moderate Republicans. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure that Trump has some Tea Party support, but I would think the lion\u2019s share of that is lined up with Cruz and probably always has been, although there exceptions. Phyllis Schlafly is all in for Trump, right? You\u2019d have to say Phyllis became a Tea Partier. Look, folks, there\u2019s some stuff happening in the future. I need to point this out. Well, maybe I don\u2019t. Maybe I can let somebody else point it out, have you get mad at them. Well, it\u2019s upcoming primaries. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019m just looking upcoming primaries. Trump\u2019s got a double-digit lead in Pennsylvania with Cruz in third place, double-digit lead in Maryland, Cruz in third place. Cruz can\u2019t afford any third place finishes here, even if you\u2019re talking about a contested convention. Right now there has been, in the world of perception, a momentum shift away from Trump because, A, Wisconsin was a Cruz victory and what happened in Colorado. Yeah, people\u2019s noses are out of joint \u2019cause of how Colorado happened, but just in terms of the energy, momentum, Cruz is on a roll right now, delegate-wise. Delegates out of Colorado, they\u2019re his, delegates out of Wisconsin are his. He\u2019s running around shoring up second ballot delegate loyalty in all these places that Trump won, which is perfectly legal. <\/p>\n

But at the same time there are a lot of primary elections yet to happen. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, not to mention California. And, again, we\u2019re in a lull here where all anybody\u2019s got to talk about is the most recent event in the past and polling data. But next Tuesday we\u2019re gonna have a New York primary and we\u2019re gonna have hard, cold results. And those hard, cold results are gonna wipe out everything going on right now and change everybody\u2019s focus, and the perception is gonna be all different. It\u2019s a seesaw. It\u2019s like an up-and-down roller coaster. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
