Rush Limbaugh predicted today that if the Republican party successfully robs either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz of the nomination, Jeb Bush will end up being the GOP nominee.

No, seriously.

“If they succeed,” he argued, “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.”

He pointed out Bush’s past comments about losing the primary to win the general, which Limbaugh took to mean “Jeb’s gonna win the nomination without having to kowtow to Republican Tea Party base voters.”
