If he had run on an America First platform he may have won. Rush, however, was long identified with the Republican Party, and his appeal to independents was limited as independents had preconceived ideas about Limbaugh. Trump in 2016 was a bit of a blank slate and people were somewhat open-minded to him, whereas people assumed that Limbaugh was a standard conservative Republican.
Trump filled a unique niche. Ted Cruz filled the niche Limbaugh would have filled. But if Limbaugh had been planning a run, he MIGHT have repositioned himself into an America First posture.
