Which alternative candidates would YOU have had Rush support? There was smelly slimy swamp and some patches of swamp that were slightly above ground. Most of the candidates were like choosing between Rosie O'Donnell and Kathy Griffin. Even if they had been anti-swamp, how would they have withstood their enemies? How hard did President Trump have to fight against the swamp? How many average non swamp politicians could have stood up to that? Lincoln's history indicated he could have.

How many of the people Trump supported for election turned out to be swamp creatures anyways?
Trump wasn't naive. You can't play the 17th of Diamonds in Poker when it doesn't exist in the first place. That is what you are alluding that Rush should have done. If Trump thought he could have successfully bucked the entire system he wouldn't have agreed to stay within the GOP and would have run as an independent. He didn't.
Learn from what President Trump did.

Please list your non-swamp alternative choices that had a good chance of winning. I am all ears to learn from the wisdom you have that you think Rush did not have.

You’re only talking about Trump, while Rush had been a conservative broadcaster for decades.

He supported Republicans who are now seen as being part of the swamp/deep state, it doesn’t sit right that he have years advancing people like the Bush family then is suddenly a right hand to Trump and fighting off all these people he spent his life helping.

Him saying what people thought while riding Trumps coattails doesn’t change his past.

“When Trump dies and everyone says what a great man Trump was for our cause, I’m going to be sure to point out that Trump once supported Mitt Romney”

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

Rush is seen as a hero for what he did for conservatives through the years, yet he helped push the Iraq war and fully supported the Bush family who many believe are part of the deep state and were involved with 9/11.

How can conservatives get back into power when the litmus test of who’s worthy is based on knee bending alone.
