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

RUSH: Here we go to Patty in Belleview, Florida. Great to have you. Really appreciate your patience. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m fairly angry listening to you today. I think what you should do is come out of the closet and just say out here that you support Ted Cruz, because that\u2019s what I believe you do, and I think you should be honest with your listening audience, because you believe he\u2019s a true conservative. I don\u2019t believe he\u2019s conservative. He reminds me of a radio preacher that my grandmother used to listen to and scrounge up $2 to send for a prayer cloth.<\/p>\n

I think he learned his skills on the used car lot, and as far as I\u2019m concerned, why is he running for president? Why is Trump running for president? Trump doesn\u2019t need the money, he doesn\u2019t need the power, he doesn\u2019t need the notoriety. He\u2019s running for president because he actually is a patriot who loves this country. And personally, I\u2019m not looking for a preacher-in-chief. I\u2019m not looking for a debater-in-chief. I\u2019m looking for a commander-in-chief.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: So what are you mad at?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m angry because I think you should just go ahead and say that you\u2019re supporting Cruz.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why do you…? Why do you think that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because I think that\u2019s what you do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why? Why?<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I think you should do that and then that would just clear up all the confusion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There isn\u2019t any confusion.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That might be out there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There isn\u2019t any confusion out there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, there\u2019s certainly confusion with me, because, if it were not for Trump, none of issues that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, usually it\u2019s people calling here and giving me the business for being too supportive of Trump and screwing legitimate conservatives by not supporting them. Here you are a Trump supporter. Wow. I\u2019m confused here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Lynn in Oklahoma City. You\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. If one of your parents is a natural born American and you were born anywhere on the planet, you are considered a natural born American as well. So that should include all the love children that contractors and soldiers have had in Philippines and other places? Are they just as much American as Ted Cruz is?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, but there\u2019s a big, big difference. There\u2019s a major difference in all those people and Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hmm?<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: None of those people are smarter than the Democrat Party and are trying to run for president and kick them out of power. And Ted Cruz is. That\u2019s why his natural born birth has gotta be questioned. By the way, some clown\u2019s already filed a lawsuit. I mean, this was predictable, no matter what Trump said. It\u2019s some Democrat named Newton Schwartz has already filed a lawsuit against him. CNN already dragged the guy out of whatever rock he hides under. They\u2019ve already had him up there.<\/p>\n

So people are gonna say, “Trump was right! See, Trump was right!”<\/p>\n

This is easy. I mean, just as easy as it was that Obama was gonna get sued, and it didn\u2019t stop Obama, did it? Just like if Hillay\u2019s indicted, if you think that\u2019s gonna stop her? (snorts) If they indict her over this e-mail stuff, you wait \u2019til the Clintons and Carville and Stephanopoulos get through with whoever did it at the FBI. They\u2019re gonna be a combination alien, sex pervert, Big Tobacco salesman running around trying to kill your kids. They\u2019ll just reenact what they did to Ken Starr. But Hillary\u2019s not gonna get out of the race if they indict her.<\/p>\n

If they convict her, she might not get out of the race! Democrats will say, “You show me here where it says you can\u2019t be convicted and run for president!” (laughing) People will be scrambling for the Constitution trying to find what the Founders said about that. (laughing) Yeah. And then Al Sharpton will say, “Well, George Washington should have been convicted and… and… and so should so should John Adams! I mean, they all should have been convicted. So to be convicting Hillary Clinton is unfair!”<\/p>\n

These people (sigh) will go wherever they have to to justify whatever aberrant behavior they engage in, in such a way as to prevent it from punishing or harming their intentions, their desires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
