Question for Trump Supporters: In light of what Limbaugh is proclaiming; that Trump's nomination/coronation will be like nothing ever seen before; will you still support him if he selects someone like Bernie or Boehner to be his VP?
Drive-Bys: Trump Dared to Change Our False Narrative, Plans to Produce a Convention People Actually Want to Watch
RUSH: I can't remember if I mentioned this on the program last week or if I was talking to some people over the weekend about this. The Republican convention came up and what it was gonna be, and I told everybody -- I think it was on the golf course. I don't think I've mentioned this here yet. If I have, forgive me. It might be somewhat redundant, but not much.
I was telling these guys, there are still a lot of people I know, I know some moderate Republican guys, I know some Republican guys that, "Get rid of the social issues crowd." They're good guys, their wives nag 'em about it and stuff. They just as soon not to have deal with it. And they were worried about, "My gosh, what's this convention --" I said, "You guys haven't seen anything yet." The thing that nobody is expecting, Trump is going to put together a show like nobody has ever seen at a Republican convention. Instinctively he's gonna put together a show.
He's gonna take advantage. He knows that because it's his convention, that the media is gonna be forced to cover it much more than they otherwise would, and it's gonna be one of the biggest extravaganzas, and it's gonna present a different picture of what the Republican Party usually presents to people. Usual Republican conventions all take place on the defense.
A usual Republican convention is designed to show the audience that they are not what the media says about them, that they're not what Democrats say about them. And Trump doesn't have an ounce of that in his being. He has no shame about who he is. He doesn't feel like he's gotta prove himself to anybody. He doesn't feel he's gotta answer critics all day long. It's gonna be a show. It's gonna be an extravaganza, total offense, if you want to look at it that way. And it's gonna blow off the roof.
It's gonna be unlike any convention that anybody's ever seen the Republican Party put on. And the reason I bring this up is because somebody's done a story about this. Politico: "Donald Trump's Gold-Plated Convention - The celebrity billionaire is revamping everything about the GOP’s dog-and-pony show." Now, to give you an idea of what I'm talking about, I want you to listen to the way Politico writes about the Republican Party here.
"Donald Trump has shoved just about every tradition in modern presidential politics out the window, and now he’s preparing to trash one more -- the dog and pony show known as the Republican National Convention." Have you ever heard the Democrat convention referred to by anybody in the media as a dog and pony show? Obviously not. Even by Politico's standards this is a bizarre open. They are angry that Trump is going to trash the GOP's usual dog and pony show. Maybe they don't realize that dog and pony is a contemptuous expression. Of course they do....
