From the September 17 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Chris Christie came out of the grave and once again sounded like a conservative last night. Carly Fiorina, you know she goes back. Carly Fiorina is a RINO in many ways, in her past she was in the McCain campaign, she two years ago criticized Ted Cruz for government shutdown activity, and so forth. I've been touting Carly ever since this whole process began. She is obviously very smart and committed and energetic, and so forth. And she's right on so much of what she says. And I remember touting her. She went back to it last night talking about the character of this country and how we're losing that, when she brilliantly combined the answer to Planned Parenthood and Iran. I thought it was well-done, it was very conservative. But Carly, you go back to 2008 and she was right in there with Meg Whitman, and McCain and so forth. She was part of the RINO caucus. So there is a lot of conservatism on that stage last night. I thought Marco was great. I thought Cruz was good. But I don't know, I feel uncomfortable here passing out advice. It's not my business. And you know, why do they care what I think. Don't ask me about individuals, that's not where I want to go right now. We'll get to that. I am not the titular head of the party anymore. In no world am I the titular head of this Republican party. I'm not the phony head, I'm not the real head. I may be that. May be that, may be the titular head of the conservative movement. But I just want to make some general observations here. I really thought that there was a lot of conservatism. There was a time I thought I was watching 11 Rush Limbaughs last night.
