Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh took a break from talking about the coronavirus pandemic and consequent economic crisis on Wednesday to weigh in on former Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) finally dropping out of the race on Wednesday. The truth is, Limbaugh contended, Sanders had no real shot at winning the nomination, yet the media went “nuts” over the democratic socialist’s announcement anyhow.

Amid segments in which he highlighted the latest COVID-19 models sharply downgrading their predictions of the total number of deaths connected to the virus to about 60,000 (down from around 82,000 a few days ago, which was down from 94,000 before that — and ultimately down from over 2 million if no social-distancing measures had been imposed), Limbaugh acknowledged Sanders’ belated decision to give up his presidential dream, again, on Wednesday.
