"The Limbaugh Effect": The 23/6 Buzzterm of the Day


Just another former junkie.

The most hotly debated question since the primaries in Indiana and North Carolina this week—besides how much of the party, and the country, and the world Hillary will take down with her before she exits the race—has been about the impact of the "Limbaugh Effect" on the vote in Indiana.

It's being debated by, among others, USA Today, Time Magazine, MSNBC's "First Read."

Rush's plan was for Republicans to cross over in states with open primaries and vote for Hillary Clinton, so as to prolong the race and, according to Limbaugh "bloody up Obama politically." He called it "Operation Chaos." Clinton did win Indiana, but was it due to Limbaugh, or to the fact that Indiana Republicans are just even dumber than Republicans generally?

Still confused? Then let us explain the "Limbaugh Effect," today's 23/6 buzzterm.
