    It will definitely fail.
    He has failed at everything in his life.

    4 yrs ago, the WH, Senate, House, all republican.
    4 yrs later, all 3 went to Dems. What a failure.

    People forget that Rush Limbaugh was a phenomenon all on his own. There was no one that captured the country's attention before him and no reason to think anyone will follow him. I personally found him boring although I generally agreed with his politics. I listed to Bob Grant in New York from the late 1970's and I think he was infinitely smarter and more entertaining than Limbaugh. Grant helped me form my political opinions growing up and exposed me to other than liberal media group think for the first time in my life. In fact my name, Straight Ahead, comes from the Bob Grant Show because he always used to say that going into commercials. In today's fractured media market, no one will dominate like Limbaugh again.

    Forget about Trump.

    He doesn't have the brains (or chops) to pull off a daily radio show.

    Trump is not remotely intelligent enough to replace Limbaugh. Love him or hate him, Limbaugh is very good at what he does. He is very informed and prepared, very intelligent and quick on his feet. Trump is none of that. He had the best resources, information, advisors, etc. the world has ever seen and still came off like a complete imbecile. The only speeches Trump ever gave that were even moderately good were prepared. His rallies were abysmal.

    Impressive that you watched so much of him.

    I'm guessing I totalled maybe 5 hours over 5 years.

    It’s not the president’s job to amuse you.

    So maybe you can explain how this guy who you claim can't string four words together was a success on TV.

    The violence inciting in this country comes from the left.

    Trump has no need of radio. He will go back to living the good life that he gave up to try to serve his country.

    Rush is a great analyst. I doubt that he can be replaced. One of his greatest observations was that the Republican party is most comfortable in the loser role where they can be critical but not actually have to do anything.

    Your quip does not change the reality of the fact that violence against government comes from the left in the US. Starting with anarchists run out of the country by J. Edgar Hoover, the leftist bombings and riots in the 60s, and the BLM and Antifa riots leading up to our 2020 elections. Try to at least back you claims up with some facts. That is why we are here. Right?

    No one is actually dumb enough to think it only comes from one side, and we've seen plenty of violence for the right. Please top pretending. No one is stupid enough to buy it.

    No. Rush is irreplaceable and the day, whenever it comes, will be a day of National mourning, Democrats celebrating notwithstanding.

    He is a quote from Wikipedia that may provide you with a little education.
    Donald Trump was the show's host for the first fourteen seasons, with the show affording him popularity that contributed to his rise to the presidency of the United States.

    Now let's try it again. Please explain why you think someone who hosted a successful TV show can't (in your words) string 4 words together.

    Want me to start with the recent violent insurrection, the pipe bombs, or shooting up kids at a Unitarian church?
