Limbaugh Predicts Who GOP Establishment Will ‘Make Convention Nominee’ if
Race Goes to Open Convention, By Oliver Darcy, 3/15/16, Blaze
Conservative
talk show host Rush Limbaugh predicted that the Republican establishment would
select former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush if the contest goes to an open convention.
“It’s
abundantly clear that the Republican establishment, all these reports we’ve had
prior to today about them being in panic have not even gotten close to
reality,” Limbaugh said on his radio program. “The panic is real today. They
are acting as though their own very future is at stake today.”
Limbaugh
argued that Ohio Gov. John Kasich “doesn’t have a prayer of becoming the
nominee.” “If John Kasich thinks he’s gonna become the nominee in a contested
convention, he’s got another thing coming,” he said.
The radio host, instead, offered a different name if the
nomination is determined in Cleveland. “If it gets to that point, can I tell
you who I think they’re gonna make president, or make the nominee, if all this
happens, as they want it to?” he asked.
He added, “If they succeed in this, if they sucked in denying
Trump or Ted Cruz 1,237 delegates by the end of the primary process, I’m here
to tell you Jeb Bush is gonna be the nominee. That’s what they’re gonna do.
That’s what they’ve always wanted.”
