Limbaugh: Trump supporters 'getting nervous' #DonaldTrump

[Sanguine]

Its true Rush said throughout the primaries that if you're conservative you've gotta go for Cruz.

Then he went ahead and acted as though he, Mr Conservative, personally had no preference. It was weird.
....

Yes, it was weird.  But, he went a couple of steps farther and 'splained and excused DT's odd utterances and past actions.  It was a "I'm a conservative, and Cruz is the only guy for conservatives, but let me tell you why DT is awesome."  Huh?

[sneakypete]

I've been saying that for a while. It's usually met with rabid fanboyism about how much they've done for conservatism and what a liberal I am for saying it.

I am not only familiar with that sort of response,I have been banned from a couple of "conservative" web sites for posting pretty much the same thing.

[Silver Pines]

I have a very special putrid, smelly place in my heart for Hannity.

The memory of that talentless brainstem calling himself a conservative losing his temper with man in possession of 100 more IQ points than he, Sen Cruz, still makes my blood boil.

@Axeslinger

Same here.  I'll never forget it.

[XenaLee]

I honestly don't think stupid is the most appropriate word to use to describe most Trump supporters.

If I had to pick one word to describe them,that word would be "desperate".

Or......"desperately naïve".

[WAC]

I said the King of Saudi Arabia promising Trump he will let him build a few hotels and get partial ownership in Muslim countries,and Trump throwing down a prayer rug in the oval office several times a day as a result.

Trump is a narcissistic sociopath,and cares about nothing and nobody but himself. He is a "American Patriot" at the moment because it serves his purposes of promoting the Greater Glory of Trump,but at heart he is a globalist because he wants the global money and attention. He STILL wants to hump British Royalty to "prove" he is somebody important.

It is also a historical fact that the most dangerous enemies always come from within because you trust them because they are "one of you instead of one of them",so you don't watch them closely and don't understand they have betrayed you until your city is  burning and they have seats on the enemy's governing consul. 

This blind "vote for the lesser of two evils" nonsense that has been a festering boil in our government for so long is nothing more than an effective strategy employed by the globalists who have been following a "2 steps forward and 1 step back" strategy that still gets them where they want to go,and is the safest road for them to travel.

Look at all the crap the Bush Crime Family got passed with virtually no argument from conservatives because "the other evil would have been even worse!". I am calling BullBush! on that one. No Dim candidate could have gotten away with promoting and passing some of the legislation and other things the Bush Crime Family basically got a free pass on.

You stand up for what is right BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT. Anything less is only promoting evil.

I know exactly the Narcissist Trump is......and that he will play in the globalist park, they ALL will no matter who we vote for.  Of course he's not much better than Hillary but sufficient to vote for him if it means she will not get this......

I voted for McCain and Romney holding my nose...........and nobody was throwing out there I was promoting evil.  Trumps a fruitloop and then some but I do believe possible to contain him once he's in. ......if he really wants the Presidency he'll get it.  If he's looking for a way to go out, which is also likely, then we'll see another candidate surface in time. But if not the choice we have with any power is to vote for Trump. Thus keeping the Demorat agenda from furthering what Obama began.

That's because mccain and romney were merely bad Republicans.   But stumpy is actually evil.

[WAC]

Islam is truly a threat. But the greatest threat is the concentration of power in the hands of the executive, which is proceeding at an alarming pace.

Don't think of it as the Roman Empire. Think of it as the Roman Republic.

This nation isn't even close to what the Roman Empire was, nor the environment it was operating in. So that's just not a good comparison. I've heard that argument before and it just doesn't pan out given where we are as a nation today.

As for concentration of power....I don't see that changing more than as chairs on a deck....regardless who is in office.  It's the game they're all playing now.  Destroy it and you darn well better have something ready to replace it....fast.  Our government is what it is because we as a people are not numerically enough to have stopped it when we could....  Immigration has seen to that for over the years those coming here have no interest in becoming Americans, rather to move their culture, beliefs etc. along side ours and make America something else altogether.........and they have thanks to the left and they're agenda to transform us to fit their old.

[WAC]

That's because mccain and romney were merely bad Republicans.   But stumpy is actually evil.

I don't see him as evil anymore than most politicians today......they just hide it better which makes them far worse. 

Nobody knows what Trump will or not do, they really don't..... But we do know what Hillary will do without question. .....furthermore "many"  Christians made their bed  by not voting for any of the principled leaders that represented the Republican party , therefor  there is no candidate in the two major parties who represents Christians. ....

So I cannot approach this general election from the perspective of Christian values  principles of.  Rather 'as a citizen alone' of the nation I live,  who is given the two to choose from. ... And that's what I'm going to do.....apply the vote God gave me, the vote men died for, ...and for this nation as "best" it offers......which isn't saying much.

[geronl]

From your statements, I'm not sure you actually listen to Rush. He never blessed Trump. If you listened carefully, he backed Cruz and saw right through Trump.

Rush quite openly told listeners to vote for Trump in Florida and Missouri. That is an endorsement. That gave Trump the momentum and made him the real front-runner.

Rush basically nominated Trump right there.

[OldSaltUSN]

I have a very special putrid, smelly place in my heart for Hannity.

The memory of that talentless brainstem calling himself a conservative losing his temper with man in possession of 100 more IQ points than he, Sen Cruz, still makes my blood boil.

Agreed, that was Hannity's opus, as far as I was concerned.  What irritated me prior to that, at that point made me go "click", to Hannity and Fox News both.  The whole Fox enterprise was no longer, to coin a historical term, worth a warm bucket of spit.

[OldSaltUSN]

I wish Rush could write Trump's speeches.  That's why I hope Trump uses BOTH when he makes his acceptance speech. He can ramble if it makes him feel good.  I'm sick and damned tired "we're gettin' killed on Trade...China's killin' us!"

But twice yesterday, Rush spoke two or three sentences that, you'd wish you'd wish would come from Trump, verbatim.   

Man, if that's the case, let's all draft Limbaugh and be done with it.  Trump's not going to win, and if he does, he'll be Hillary redux anyhow.

As an aside, I hope they have enough protection around the Convention Hall that night.   Have a bad feeling.

Agreed, but maybe for different reasons.

The convention will be another of those famous, liberally inspired and directed, "gun free zones", i.e. one of the most vulnerable places in America.

Trump will have a couple of thousand Cruz delegates surrounding him, and every, single one of them, of this I am sure, would protect him or any other GOP nominee. 

"Hey, we can trash our nominees if we want to, but don't YOU start ..."   

Seriously, the GOP doesn't need someone else making our decisions, be it the MSM, the Donkey's, turncoat RINO's, or a "lone gunman".

[OldSaltUSN]

On the bright side most other prominent "conservative" talk show hosts showed their true colors as well. Its good, because I've spent far too much of my time listening over the past twenty years. I've suddenly cut WAAAY back & my blood pressure has benefited greatly.

Yeah, it's like those guys who were on the Titanic, all worried about their stocks and bonds and investments, and all of the worries of the world.  I'm sure they felt the same way we do.

"Well, George, ol' boy, it looks like we're all gonna die tonight.  No hope now.  Let's sit down, have a cold one, and then pull out our violins..".

Trump is the end, one way or the other, to the GOP, to the republic (whether he or Hil wins), and our lives as we used to know them.

After the end is in sight, ironically, it's quite easy to relax.

If that's what you believe,that's what you believe.

>>I voted for McCain and Romney holding my nose.<<

I quit voting for the lesser of two evils before the Boy Jorge first term.  I have been on record ever since saying "The next time I vote for the lesser of two evils it will be  race where somebody named Bush is running against someone named Satan,and I am going to vote for Satan as the lesser of the two evils."

I am still standing by that.

>> Trumps a fruitloop and then some but I do believe possible to contain him once he's in. ......if he really wants the Presidency he'll get it. <<

Ok,if that's what you believe,it's what you believe.

>>If he's looking for a way to go out, which is also likely, then we'll see another candidate surface in time. <<

Unless we see a sudden YUGE surge in the polls for Trump,that is what I see him doing,and have been saying what he will do since he announced he was running. I am still convinced he is getting paid with future bribes to run in order to insure a Bubbette! victory.

Given who and what he is,if it starts to look like he is going to win by a landslide,I see his ego getting in the way and him stabbing her and the DNC in the back and going for it.

I don't think that is going to happen though,and I think he is going to continue with the program and drop out if it even looks close because the ONE thing worse than death to that ego-maniac is to losing big and losing in public in such a way that he can't lie about losing.

What I see happening is him dropping out about mid-way through the election and then spending the rest of his life bragging about how "I COULD have been the president of the United States if I wanted,but I decided the job was beneath me,so I dropped out."  How much do YOU think he is going to claim the "Trump Trademark" will be worth if he does that? Right now he estimates it's worth half of his net worth.

>>But if not the choice we have with any power is to vote for Trump. Thus keeping the Demorat agenda from furthering what Obama began.

There IS no difference between the DNC and the RNC agenda. They are two sides of the same globalist coin,

Wish I could.  I did so love this country.......... 

[ConstitutionRose]

Yes, Limbaugh knew the score on Trump. He even praised Cruz (and Rubio) as being real conservatives.  He said Trump was not a conservative.
But he failed to mention any of the many anti-conservative things Trump has done and said over the decades. Any other candidate like Trump would have been destroyed by Rush.
So why did he give Trump a free pass?
I think (1) he's a buddy of Trump and (2) he thought he'd lose a very large share of his audience by slamming Trump.
His defense of Trump (like Hannity and the other Trump a**-kissers) usually amounts to attacking Hillary or other Dems as doing worse things than Trump. Gee whiz, what a great defense and argument for voting for Trump. Not.
So why I still listen to Limbaugh out of habit I've lost a lot of respect for him. And the rest of the Trump talk radio  a**-kissing clique.

I'm always late to these wonderful threads.  Just wanted to chime in because this post and others represent my journey with Hannity and Limbaugh.  I never much liked Hannity anywsy, but I try not t o listen to so much as a word out of his mouth even by accident.   I still turn on Limbaugh but often turn him off when he gets into what I consider excuse making for Trump.

[musiclady]

Yes, it was weird.  But, he went a couple of steps farther and 'splained and excused DT's odd utterances and past actions.  It was a "I'm a conservative, and Cruz is the only guy for conservatives, but let me tell you why DT is awesome."  Huh?

After listening to Rush talk about how awesome Trump was for hours and days, I ended my nearly 25 years of listening to him.

I don't care if he uttered a few kind words about the fact that Cruz was the only Conservative, he campaigned for Trump never mentioning his liberalism, and as far as I'm concerned abandoned every principle he always claimed to believe in.

[verga]

Well, he does look good next to stumpy.

I'm of a mind for Hoosiers, right now.  Maybe Mitch Daniels or Mike Pence?

My worst nightmare would be either Pataki or Bush. I could live with either Daniels or Pence.

[verga]

Why are "conservatives" letting Limbaugh off the hook so easily? No one else propped up the orange menace more than the moron behind the mike.

Hannity was/is the biggest Trump sucker of all.

[DCPatriot]

My worst nightmare would be either Pataki or Bush. I could live with either Daniels or Pence.

Then you'll be living with Hillary.  Unarmed.

Soyo-freakin'-nara!!

With no Conservative forum in which to communicate....  (maybe that will snap you the hell out of it.)   

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

I'm cool with Limbaugh.

Good post @OldSaltUSN

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

@geronl I'd need a transcript or audio to believe that.

[geronl]

@geronl I'd need a transcript or audio to believe that.

I can't find the exact thing I saw but this is close. Limbaugh was pretending that it would be good for Ted Cruz if Trump wins Florida and Ohio (I might have been wrong about Missouri)

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Thanks. I'll take a gander. If I recall correctly though, this was Rush doing "what ifs" on delegate  counts.

[XenaLee]

@geronl I'd need a transcript or audio to believe that.

Yeah.  Same here.  I listen to Rush almost every day and I never heard what some here are claiming to have heard.  It's almost like there's an alternate planet or reality somewhere there.
