Cruz is cooked, the E-GOP hate him more than Trump and can control Rubio more than Trump. It's Rubio, Trump or a protest vote...those are your choices and nothing short of an Old Testament miracle is going to alter that reality. Get used to it.
As for the Rush piece...
From the link -
The final battle over the soul of the nation...
But if you believe in a certain cultural America, it's under siege. There's nothing to join with on the other side in preserving it. They want to tear it down, transform it, and rebuild it. They have to be defeated. This is why the Republican Party's worthless. They don't even think this way.
The Republican Party's thinking about showing they can work together, they can cooperate, make Washington work. Sorry; we're so past that, we're so far past that, it's irrelevant. We're talking about holding on and preserving the country as founded. And it's gonna be really, really hard.
The second thing is, "Rush," -- and this is not just you -- "Rush, we can't deport 12 million people. We're never gonna --" Who says? All that is is a conversation stopper. We are the United States of America. Who says we can't get rid of people who are here illegally? It's not a question of we can't. It's a question of do we have the resolve to?
And then later on talking about the HW betrayal...
But it was just four short years later and here comes Bill and Hillary Clinton. And why? Because the next president got rid of Reaganism. The next president started making deals with the Democrats to show that we can do deals, to show that we're nice guys, to show that we can get along. My point is, we had the greatest economic circumstances in our lifetimes and the Democrats were not interested, Pam. They didn't want to participate, because it left them out of power.
Running the same outdated E-GOP playbook...
We don't have time to get around to what we want to advance. We're too busy stopping. They're not talking about stopping anything. They're on the march! They're on the march and succeeding with things that ten years ago you would have never thought would ever happen.
How many of us are fed up...
They're frustrated; they're ticked off; they're angry. They want to do more than just stop something every day. They're tired of being overrun. They're tired of not having allies in the centers of power where this stuff can be stopped.
And the closing basically asks the question of "who?"...
We're gonna need people with such backbone and guts and steel and iron to hold up and to withstand what's gonna come at 'em, you can't even imagine it. But it's what's gonna happen.
So, who fits that bill, eh?
It's a good rant, vintage Rush...and he's spot on through 99% of it...
But, getting back to the central points in it all...I don't see enough numbers let alone the strength of spine required in the current mix of liberty-minded participants that would enable us to effect the kind of political force that can start the rollback on the illegals issue let alone all the other issues and keep up the fight against hard Progs in the DemonRat camp and the soft Progs in the E-GOP camp and sustaining it for decades, which is what it probably will take.
God Bless Rush, I admire his optimism and spirit but realistically when you survey the landscape, tally the numbers and measure the leadership...I don't know how you get there with this.
