Funny that this place would mourn the death of an establishment propagandist.
No, Rush was not an establishment propagandist.
Republicans are literally establishment.
Rush Limbaugh only supported Republicans as an alternative to democrats. We have a two party state because we have winner take all elections. This is called Duverger's Law that you always default, even in parliamentary systems, into two major coalitions or parties. If you don't support liberals, you have no choice but to support the opposition party.
Moreover, to reform the party you do support, you have to use primaries to shift the party one way or the other, which is why he called them cowards all the time for not standing up for conservative principles and supported the Tea Party.
And yet he supported the Republicans and they supported him.
Doesn't get more mainstream than that.
