Limbaugh: Trump supporters 'getting nervous' #DonaldTrump

[Sanguine]

I've been listening to Beck each morning. Problem is he comes on after I am in the office. He gets a little "out there" but otherwise I feel like I see eye to eye on him, same thoughts, etc. Surprising, because I never liked Beck previously.

Yeah, I agree with you.  Beck can be very histrionic and those bits, taken out of context, can sound pretty wild and weird, but he's actually been very solid and informative. 

And, this is my argument with Rush:  this was not about his ratings or some promise he made to stay above the fray - if ever there was a time to get into the fray, this primary season was it.  Instead he sat on that "fair and balanced fence" as if it were a primary like any before it.  Nope, sorry, Rush, this was the time to declare and do what you could to move the country right instead of waffling and wavering.


Modified to say: and what @goatprairie said!

I give Beck a lot of credit for remaining staunchly anti-Trump.  For that reason, I've given him a second listen, and I'm pretty much liking what I hear.  Except for the times when he gets all breathy and emotional; then he goes off, lol.

As for Rush, I wouldn't listen to him again even if he denounced Trump as a fraud.  I started listening to Dana Loesch, who's very conservative and a huge 2nd Amendment supporter.  She's also laugh-out-loud funny; I've almost choked on my lunch a couple of times while listening to her.  I find Rush stale and boring in comparison.

I'll have to give Dana a listen. 

[Silver Pines]

Let me know what you think.  She has a tough-chick edge to her that I like.

[DCPatriot]

This only proves that sub-categories are crap.

This is an OPINION piece at best.  ...let alone buried in RADIO SHOWS.

It was placed in POLITICS to get a hive reaction....just like all the other stuff posted by the opposition in here.

"rules for thee but not for me".....

Here is where I will give rush full praise and admiration. There are millions of conservative people that only became interested and active in politics because of Rush's radio program. We became political junkies.    When other prominent radio talk shows of the time were still discussing Area 51, Bigfoot and the JFK assassination, here was this new guy discussing American politics and the dangers of liberalism.  A guy saying just what we think. And hundreds of thousands of conservative-leaning Democrats as well who, thanks to Rush broke the yoke of the Democrat Party, and became Republicans. My mom and dad included in that number. 

Rush changed talk radio forever and maybe even saved AM radio all together.   But that is also the reason for his decline. He is no longer the only Conservative on the radio, and many of us old-time Rush listeners have new favorites, who voice opinions and commentary closer to how we think. At one time I would listen to Rush every day. I even bought one of those radio show recording machines so I could replay what I missed during work.   I eventually stopped listening to him on a daily bases, but stopped all together when he was starting to use his show to promote Trump, though he denies he ever did. But he did, and there is no denying the fact that he was influencing people how to vote in the primary

Easy on the eye too.   One plus for subscribing to The Blaze TV, you get to watch her radio and TV show.

[skeeter]

I gotta say...I pretty much feel the same way.   That barking fool Hannity too.

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.

Hearing that scammity interview with Senator Cruz was the last time I watched a single minute of any program on FNC. 

[XenaLee]

Hillary will have long lasting consiquences, not just SCOTUS, but all the departments she will fill with all her fellow traveler bureaucrats. They are almost impossible to get rid of, like a case of the herpies.

Only......Hillary's "long lasting consequences" are more akin to full-blown HIV on steroids ...rather than mere herpies.   Considering the damage the Obama leftist Democrats have already done to America, we will never survive another four years of the same or worse. 

A pox on Trump, on Hillary, on all of the Democrats and on everyone that has helped in facilitating this further slide into oblivion.  I wish nothing but the worst for them.

Same here, except my boycott started with just Hannity's show early in the primary season so I only heard about and seen clips of the Hannity Cruz interview.  Turning on FOX News in the afternoon was routine in our house. I would get home from work, turn it on until our local news started, then back to FOX.  But now FOX is banned from our house all together.  We haven't watched the channel since Cruz dropped out, when FOX became unwatchable.

Yeah, Sean (pronounced Shuan) is in full Trump-lap mode these days.  He has drunk the Kool-Aid and he is lovin it.  Addictive, apparently.

But....not just saying what we think or were thinking.  Saying it with class, with style and with a keen insight on the truth.....

unlike what Trump says.

[sneakypete]

I would not have included Bill O'Really on that list, personally

Me,either. He reminds me more of Hay-Raldo Rivera than he does any conservative I have ever known about.

Please feel free to substitute "Braying Jackass" for the words "Hay-Raldo Rivera/Jerry Greene" if you like. They are virtually synonymous anyway.

[sneakypete]

Trump's conversation level is more like a 4th grader, which explains some of his supporters...

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".

[sneakypete]

Factually, Rush AND EVERY OTHER talking head votes GOP no matter what. They do not vote conservative. They vote for who and whatever the GOP brings to the dance...who THE VOTERS brought to the dance.

I do not remotely blame these 'conservative media" types for milking their audiences dry. They are very open in their words and actions. They spout 'conservatism' every day until, the one day that actually matters. Election day. Then 1.9/3.9 years of "CONSERVATIVE OR DIE!" rethoric becomes "Well, this time we gotta...BUT NEXT TIME we will stick to our guns  because THIS TIME is the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER!!!"

Rinse and repeat every election.

And there you have it,the condensed explanation of how we got from Reagan to where we are today and where we are going to be tomorrow. Thanks!

I'll tell what's a shame.

I'll be going down the highway, listening to Rush "get going"...in a pure stream of thought. 

And I think...gee who wouldn't love to see Donald Trump even read this off a teleprompter, if necessary? 

I mean we must admit, Donald Trump agrees with Rush Limbaugh the vast majority of the time.   

And yeah, let's argue whether Trump wants to ban certain guns somewhere else.

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.   

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

[WAC]

Well....I don't vote according to pundits or who the media might suggest.....But to topic...'Trump supporters "getting nervous" about Trump. ......

I'm not a supporter as yet...but with the Islamic push in this country, the issues of borders and immigration he's willing to address these head on......the question being will he?  We know Hillary will open all the doors wide and bring them here. Thus endangering further this country with Islamic attacks. She's in way too deep with the Islamic countries to do otherwise.........I do not see her doing more but appeasing and appointing more Islamic people into the government.....

I see Islam as our greatest threat.......in fact it's a world wide threat because the Muslim communities worldwide are not fighting against the Militant Arm of their so called "religion"....they can't as this opposes Islams very teachings of "duty" to Islam itself.

Further the so called "Moderates", who are simply are playing both sides of the fence so they can live here without fear of death for leaving Islam, can speak out against the violence and attacks,  They CAN BE Apostates, under Islamic Law, without being threatened with a death sentence. So they have both bases covered.

Therefore if Trump can be reeled in by those who would do so in Washington.....I might be persuaded to vote for him if the choice is between Trump and Hillary..........otherwise people are going to die here, in numbers, babies are going to be slaughtered and parts sold if Hillary wins......"Life" matters first and foremost .

[Henry Noel]

I see Islam as our greatest threat.....

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.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

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. He never would have gotten anywhere without Limbaugh's blessing?

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.

My beef is that he should have been more obvious.

[Norm Lenhart]

And there you have it,the condensed explanation of how we got from Reagan to where we are today and where we are going to be tomorrow. Thanks!

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.

However despite the protests, the facts remain. Not one of these icons of conservatism EVER does anything but vote for whatever liberal the GOP puts up. No exceptions. That's simply history. I didn't force them to tell their audiences one thing one day and the polar opposite election day. They did.

IIf they wanted to do something for conservatism and for America, they'd stop telling their listeners to vote GOP No matter what. But they want to do something for their wallet first and America a distant 'whenever'.

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.

[skeeter]

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.

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.

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

Yup. Once the International bankers and CEO's take over,Islam will cease to be a problem as they are the very ones promoting and financing it at this moment as a tool to destroy independent nations. Once they are firmly in charge,radical Islam will immediately start to die off as the Saud family will start killing the leaders with no fear whatsoever of any international sanctions or criticisms. The bomb vest loons are nothing more than the tools of the globalists,and they and their compatriots will disappear the instant they are no longer needed.

Yes, she's very pretty.  I bet you like her book cover with the tight red dress.   ^-^
