I am glad you waited.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush, Democrat dittos to you or debate dittos.  We watched the other night, played your drinking game. My wife\u2019s so mad she\u2019ll never let me watch another one, \u2019cause I drank all her wine, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  (laughing)  Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Other than that, hey, listen, Rush, to my point, I\u2019ve been a longtime listener since 1992.  I love you, and I\u2019ve always heard you say you never endorse a candidate during the primaries.  I\u2019ve never questioned that.  That\u2019s your prerogative.  But I\u2019ve also heard you say on a lot of occasions that you\u2019ll let us know when it\u2019s time to panic.  If we get the wrong person elected this time, is it time to panic?  We have a true conservative in this race.  You\u2019ve said it many times, that Ted Cruz is the only true conservative we have.  And if we don\u2019t elect him, I think it\u2019s time to panic.  What do you think?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117904\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Limbaugh-Primary-FOX-021216.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Well, that\u2019s tough.  Because what I\u2019ve always meant by that is it\u2019s time to give up on the country.  And I don\u2019t think we\u2019re there.  There\u2019s too many of us out here, Gary, to just cede the country to these people.  Now, on the endorsement side &#8212; can you hang on while I play a couple sound bites here?  &#8216;Cause it dovetails with &#8212;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  &#8212; exactly what you\u2019re asking about here.  Gary, don\u2019t hang up, no matter what you hear here, because I\u2019ve coming back to you when this is finished.  We\u2019ve got Megyn Kelly on her show on Fox last night. And, by the way, I get grief every year on this no-endorsement policy.  And today there\u2019s an editorial at Investor\u2019s Business Daily praising me for what I said about Cruz but claiming that it\u2019s too late.  If I\u2019d have said this weeks ago, that it might have mattered, but since I didn\u2019t say it weeks ago and only said it this week, that it\u2019s too late. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m flattered that so many people think that I could determine who wins and loses these things.  That\u2019s what I reject by saying I don\u2019t endorse. The thing about this, folks, one of the things that I\u2019ve always from the first day of this program, and this program in particular because it was national, if it worked it was gonna be a big deal, and one of the things that I have always strived, striven, whatever, to do, is keep myself in perspective.  You hear complaints that the moderators become the story in the debate, or something similar.  I never wanted to do that, and I never get lost contemplating how important I am or how big I am, \u2019cause I\u2019ve just made a concerted effort to keep what I do and who I am in perspective, so I don\u2019t get lost in ego, become insufferable. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117934\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRunsAMER4HOME.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I could give you names of people who have become &#8212; they\u2019re out there now &#8212; what I never have wanted to become.  Not endorsing is made up of many theories and strategies, and in no particular order one of them is, I don\u2019t know these people that well, and I\u2019ve got no control over how they\u2019re gonna run their campaigns. And I\u2019ve got no control over whether they\u2019re gonna stay true to who they say they are or not. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>The last thing I\u2019m gonna do is tell you by virtue of endorsing somebody that you can give it up for them, too, months and months ago, only to find, say, at this point in time or next week or whatever they totally bail and become something else. Since I can\u2019t control them doing that or not doing that, I\u2019m not gonna invest myself in it.  I don\u2019t control them, I\u2019m not part of their campaigns, I\u2019m not part of their staff, advisory or otherwise. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to that, there is this business of not wanting to trample on the event.  I\u2019m not running.  I look at newspaper endorsements and I read about all these people that do, and I think they\u2019re full of it to think they\u2019re bigger than the process.  The process is where we determine who wins.  It\u2019s up to the candidates to win, not me or anybody else.  Now, I\u2019m flattered that people think that I could be the margin of victory for somebody, but I don\u2019t look at myself that way.  And, if I ever did, you would not be able to put up with me.<\/p>\n<p>I would make Max Headroom look like a dwarf.  And I vowed never to do that.  But I\u2019m not running, therefore I\u2019m not going to act as though I\u2019m the guy with all the answers and these people are all doofuses and idiots.  I will tell you what I think of the process as it goes by and what I think of the people as it goes by the same as you.  You are free to agree with me or not. <\/p>\n<p>When we get to the general, it\u2019s a whole different thing.  Then that becomes our team versus their team.  And that\u2019s a whole different thing.  There are any number of people that I think running now who can beat whoever the Democrats throw up there.  And it\u2019s not contrary to people who might wish me to utilize whatever power they think I have.  I do not think in those terms. <\/p>\n<p>So when I said what I said about Ted Cruz, it was because it was important to say at the time.  There were Republicans that were beginning to cave, and they were trying to tell everybody how conservative they were but yet they were trying to sidle up to Democrats or one thing other another and one thing I felt confident saying is that Cruz wouldn\u2019t.  I don\u2019t mean to be putting down Rubio when I say that Cruz is the closest thing to Reagan we\u2019ve ever had.  It doesn\u2019t mean that Rubio is no good.  And it doesn\u2019t mean that Trump is no good. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4229\"><img id=\"eZObject_117935\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzConservatism.jpg\"\/><\/a>I also said yesterday at the same time <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4229\">I said what I said about Cruz<\/a>, I don\u2019t think Trump is ideological.  That\u2019s not a criticism.  Not everybody looks at things through the ideological prism like I do, or maybe like you do.  Like I said about Trump, when he comes at Chuck Schumer, he doesn\u2019t see a raging commie leftist.  He sees a New Yorker that he has to get through, go around, deal with, whatever in his business.  It\u2019s better to be friends with the guy than not, but in politics that all changes.  But Trump doesn\u2019t look at people that way.  And it\u2019s not a criticism. <\/p>\n<p>Everybody in this race is different.  Trump is attracting a wide variety of people.  His coalition is made up of people above and beyond those who call themselves conservative.  There\u2019s this new group out there called alt-conservatives, which are basically a bunch of young populists, when you get right down to it.  They\u2019re not doctrinaire conservatives ideologically, but they are right-wingers on enough, but they\u2019re also populists and nationalists.  And they think conservatism doesn\u2019t go far enough in some cases.  So he\u2019s got a broad-based coalition out there. <\/p>\n<p>Now, this all came up last night on Megyn Kelly on Fox.  She had Dr. Krauthammer on there. By the way, I pronounce his name that way \u2019cause it\u2019s how Henry Kissinger pronounced it to me one time.  He asked me, &#8220;Did you see the Krauthammer column?&#8221;  I said, &#8220;Which one?&#8221;  &#8220;It\u2019s the Krauthammer column in the Washington Post this morning.&#8221;  &#8220;No, I didn\u2019t see it.&#8221;  Ever since he said that, when it comes time to mention Krauthammer\u2019s name, &#8220;Dr. Krauthammer.&#8221;  It\u2019s just my Kissinger impersonation.  I don\u2019t mean anything by it, trying to be clever.   <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Megyn Kelly, two sound bites here with Dr. Krauthammer, talking about Cruz, me, and what it all means.<\/p>\n<p>KELLY:  What\u2019s so fascinating about Trump is &#8212; and Rush Limbaugh was making this point &#8212; that he\u2019s not ideological.  What Limbaugh was saying: He\u2019s not a Republican, but he\u2019s not a Democrat; he\u2019s not an ideologue at all.  He was saying: If you are an ideologue, if you are going for the more conservative guy, you go for Cruz.  Trump\u2019s got sort of a different group.  I\u2019ll let Limbaugh say it in his own words here.  Listen.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117936\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzshortDebateCNBC_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH ARCHIVE:  If conservatism is your bag, if conservatism is the dominating factor in how you vote, there is no other choice for you in this campaign than Ted Cruz, because you are exactly right: This is the closest in our lifetimes we have ever had to Ronald Reagan.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah. I\u2019ve heard people say, &#8220;You left out Rubio!&#8221;  No, I didn\u2019t. We\u2019re talking here about other factors. Rubio\u2019s a good guy, don\u2019t misunderstand.  This is another reason why I don\u2019t endorse, \u2019cause for everybody I would endorse, 90 others would get ticked.  Can\u2019t make everybody happy. (Kissinger impression) &#8220;Here\u2019s Dr. Krauthammer of the Washington Post responding to what I just brilliantly had said moments ago&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>KRAUTHAMMER:  I would disagree in the sense that I think Rubio is an authentic conservative.  Bush is kind of a reformist conservative.  All of them I think would be comparable to Reagan in 1980.  There are several candidates who are conservative, but I do agree that Trump is not a conservative.  I think, you know, he would probably reject that. But I think the record would show he\u2019s a Trumpist.  He\u2019s kind of a &#8220;what-the-hellist,&#8221; meaning &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>KELLY: (giggles)<\/p>\n<p>KRAUTHAMMER: &#8212; you know, these guys have not succeeded.  As he said in a tweet I think, uh, today, &#8220;You elected these guys to the Congress.  They made the promises; they haven\u2019t kept them.&#8221;  And therefore he\u2019s coming in to solve problems, and he\u2019s not a traditional conservative.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay, Gary, hang on, I gotta go to commercial break next, and we\u2019ll be back and discuss this.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay, now we bring Gary from Shelby, Michigan back into this.  Now, you heard all of that.  How would you react to it?  Based on the question that you asked me.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, Rush, first of all, I really respect your humility.  A lot of people wouldn\u2019t believe you\u2019re a humble man, but you\u2019re a very humble person, and you don\u2019t think you make that big of a difference. But I also know that the only true principled conservative with the Constitution ingrained in his brain is Ted Cruz, and what concerns me is the possible four Supreme Court nominations in the next four to eight years.  We\u2019re barely hanging on by a thread there right now.  It\u2019s 5-4. It could go either way.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s true.  That\u2019s ballgame kind of true.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  That\u2019s time to panic if that happens.  If we get somebody &#8212; and I\u2019m talking anybody but.  Because I\u2019ve heard some of the nominations suggestions from the other candidates, and they\u2019re scary.  Ted Cruz is the only person that will stand up and use his political will to put the right people in the court, and he\u2019ll be damned if he doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, let me illustrate it.  When I said what I said yesterday, I got some e-mail reaction.  When I said what I said about Trump, that he\u2019s not a conservative, that Dr. Krauthammer thinks he might disagree; that Trump might think he is. But my point is Trump, I don\u2019t think, is. Not like you and I are.  That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not going to do the right things, in my mind, by any stretch.  But my illustration that when Trump sees Chuck Schumer, he doesn\u2019t see a raving leftist.  But I think he should! <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117937\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrumpMakeAmerica-Great-MAP.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Given what Trump believes on immigration, Chuck Schumer is in the way.  If Trump really believes this stuff about building a wall and sending \u2019em home and send \u2019em back and make immigration legal again, he\u2019s got to realize Chuck Schumer is a pro-amnesty leader.  Now, I don\u2019t worry that Ted Cruz will not see Schumer that way.  That\u2019s all I mean by Trump not being ideological.  A lot of people aren\u2019t, folks.  It\u2019s been one of the most frustrating things about doing this program for 27 years. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always said (I\u2019m blue in the face) that if we could have educated&#8230; We tried here to get more and more people just attuned to the ideological identifications of people. If we could have, we could have spared ourselves so damn much trouble. If people knew what liberalism meant to their lives, if they really knew what it meant &#8212; not Democrats equal compassion and caring and equality.  If they knew the destructive nature of it, if they knew the reason they can\u2019t get a job is liberalism rather than Bush and the recession &#8212; which is what liberals tell them &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Do you realize how many people still think that the economic problems today are Bush\u2019s fault, partly because the media gets away with lying about it and the Democrats do? But it\u2019s also due to the fact that people are not educated to the realities of liberalism, and they do not understand the direct, hands-on role Barack Obama and the Democrats have had in the economic destruction.  How do you still blame Bush?  It\u2019s eight years ago! But they are.  &#8220;We still haven\u2019t recovered from the Bush recession.&#8221; That\u2019s what they tell themselves.  You want to talk about frustrating?  And I\u2019ve always thought the cure for this is ideological education.<\/p>\n<p>But hell, when the Republican Party won\u2019t even go there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Gary in Shelby, Michigan, great to have you, sir.
