Some of the most powerful right-wing talk radio hosts have been pushing Ted Cruz as the only "true conservative" running for the Presidency. Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, as examples.
But they seem to be powerless to change the minds of the Trump supporters. Right-wing radio has been proven to be as impotent as the Republican establishment that was pushing Jeb Bush but is now pushing Marco Polo. They hate Donald Trump with a passion. Even FOX News came out early against Trump.
But their Party is like Humpty Dumpty - they can't seem to put it back together again. Tea Partiers and independents have left their reservation.
Soon, unless something changes in the next couple of weeks, the Republican Party and FOX News and talk radio hosts will have to accept the fact that Donald Trump is going to be their nominee. They will have no choice. Will they hold their noses and vote for the narcissistic liar that has buried them with their own game - lying and name-calling?
I wonder which side will offer a paw of friendship to the others first: the radio loudmouths or the TV loudmouth?

As for right wing hate radio, it will be all anti-Hillary all the time. They don't have to support trump, just tear down Hillary. They'll have no issue with doing that. Plus, it will be a right wing lovefest once the nominee is decided.

(20,851 posts)This is the third straight election cycle where they have done everything they can to demonstrate hate radio does not move the marker politically even for Republicans. Yet the media treats them if they are a "movement".
