RUSH: Now, it's one thing for me to say it on the radio, and I have no problem. It's true. The only reason I said it is I have seen, and it's an increasing number of elected Republicans, some anonymously, some with names attributed, saying if it's Cruz, some saying if it's Trump, that they'd vote for Hillary. And there's only one reason why, and that is they don't think the country's in crisis. They don't consider the Democrats and Hillary to be a real threat to their way of life, to the nation at large. They don't consider the Democrats to be a threat to the Constitution. And what's more important is holding on to what they have, keeping their establishment intact and their role in it intact. And look, it's undeniable that they have said it.
You've seen stories of these named Republicans, elected Republicans, a lot of senators -- I think five -- have said they're not even gonna go to the convention, even before we know who the nominee is 'cause everybody knows the nominee is gonna be either Trump or Cruz. And they're not gonna go. They're saying, "You know, I can do more for myself staying home with my voters. Yes, I can stay and do a better job for myself back in my own constituency and dealing with people in my state." It's not unprecedented, but it's weird.
Rush is no doubt right. Many establishment figures spend more time bashing their fellow Republicans and pushing bipartisan spending bills that enrich their pals. Both Trump and Cruz would likely mean the end of that, with Trump being a total wild card. If that happens, as Donald Trump predicted, it could be a "very ugly July" for the GOP.

I heard this last evening, and the Republican Party will be destroyed because many elected Republicans will be voted out of the Senate because of their lack of respect for denying their vote. It's a catch 22.
The problem with this is that Rush considers himself an "insider" as well as the establishment R's & D's.
We outsiders understand the Constitution and the real problems facing America's future, and so does Donald Trump.
That's why Trump will beat Cruz AND Hillary the Inmate.
Hillary is no threat to the establishment and will keep the gravy train going because she's part of it.
And we the people will stay home when it's time to re-elect them!
Well they are starting to show their true colors!
More proof it is just a one party system and the voters have never really had any choice. It's what I have known all along. Both parties are just two sides of one coin. The primaries will prove you vote doesn't count. Maybe this country is due for an Arab spring!!!
This is why so many GOP supporters are looking for change. The party has been ruined by the career politicians and we're ready for change.
God I hope not. I am voting Republican (Trump) and I am a registered Democrat.
9:00 AM - Me, too. The Democrats have declared themselves a protected class. So have the Republicans, but Trump is neither, really.
