Voters who want to see another Ronald Reagan in the White House have a candidate they can rally behind, according to radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
“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 been to Ronald Reagan,” Limbaugh said on his program Wednesday.
“In terms of doctrinaire, understandable, articulated, implementable conservatism, there’s nobody closer,” said Limbaugh, who noted a vast ideological difference between the Texas senator and Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
“If you look at Trump’s coalition, there’s a lot of assumptions being made about it, because he’s running as a Republican and in the Republican primary, and it’s assumed the Republican base is who’s voting here,” Limbaugh said. “Therefore, it’s assumed the majority of Trump’s coalition’s conservatives. And there are a lot. But he’s broad. He’s all over the spectrum.”
Later he added, “Donald Trump — and I’ve never said otherwise — Donald Trump is not an ideological candidate.”
“He sees people in entirely different ways. He looks at them in different ways,” Limbaugh said, using Sen. Charles Schuler, D-N.Y., in an anecdote to explain how Trump’s assessment of an individual is based upon whether they are of use to Trump.
“The fact that Chuck may be a screaming leftist, none of that matters. But he’s that way with everybody. That’s why Trump’s circle of friends and associates are all over the place.”
“But for those of you that conservatism’s the answer and conservatism is the way, you have no choice here. Ted Cruz has got to be your guy. There’s nobody even close. Nobody,” Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh added that implementing conservative principles is essential for the future of America.
“Conservatism is what’s gonna have to be implemented here to reverse the direction we’re headed,” he said. “That’s why people who are supporting Cruz are supporting Cruz. That’s why conservatives get worried when other conservatives do not support a conservative, ’cause the problems we have are directly traceable to liberalism, and the antidote, the cure, the vaccine, the nuclear device to wipe it out is conservatism.”
