Rush Limbaugh, no matter his protestations otherwise, is one of the main reasons Donald Trump is the nominee for the GOP today. Like Fox News and other Republican media, he has cheered for Trump and Trump's rhetoric and Trump's rise all along. One of the things that so-called conservative media has cheered the loudest and with the most fervor, indeed one of the biggest selling points for Trump by his supporters everywhere, was his hardliner stance on immigration. And now he's saying something different.
Trump flipped on his voters, on Rush's listeners. He did. That happened.
But now Rush is saying that, eh, he never really bought it anyway, what's the big deal?
