13. I Believe Mainstream Republicans (few that there are) Are happy About Developments

Rush has helped pulled the repub party so far to the right that they are now seen as unacceptable by more and more people who don't agree with the extreme right wing views he espouses. I find it interesting that while repubs won't condemn him for his actions only a hand full have come to his defense. He is a monster and I think many are happy to see him fall much like Rupert Murdoch. Rush, like Murdoch will lose much of his grip on republicans who will have less reason to fear him in his weakened state. Rush may have a large audience (mostly male) but I wonder whether many even have the financial means to be an audience worth pursuing by many of the companies who advertise on his show. I doubt the 15 million audience number that I have seen printed.
