(37,540 posts)All advertisers are seeing how everyone else is reacting. No one wants to be the last company to turn off the switch. As more and more dump Rush, those left will get a lot more focus and it's going to be harder for them to justify advertising with this racist/misogynist/overall scumbag.

Once you do the grammar school level math it's not a hard choice to make regardless of what the gas bag supporters say.
