Elections Rush Limbaugh: ‘Compared To Reagan, Trump Is Not A Conservative’ [VIDEO] Photo of Steve Guest Steve Guest Media Reporter 3:59 PM 11/24/2015 981

Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that Donald Trump is “not a conservative” when compared with former President Ronald Reagan.

Limbaugh explained, that “compared to Reagan, Trump is not a conservative, and the bulk of Trump’s support is not the Republican base.”

“As we mentioned yesterday, if you look at the demographics, at least as expressed polling data, the bulk of Trump support is what we all have been led to believe the Republican Party wants: blue-collar people, moderates and independents,” suggested Limbaugh. “I mean there’s the fact that they don’t control Trump, and the real thing is they don’t have any money invested, and as such they have no say-so over what he does at all.”

Facts:

1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.

2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.

3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.

4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?

5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.

Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.

Rush is right of course but Trump MAY be the only candidate able to get us going in the right direction. Something to think about folks.

I thought I heard that discussion yesterday. I don’t remember him saying that. This is out of context.

Well, I did miss that part. Trump’s base is not Republicans?
Looks like Rush can have his head up his ass also. That is a stupid remark.

Agree. That is what I got from that discussion yesterday. That is why I thought the quote was out of context. When you talk for that length of time every day, some things will get mangled. At least I hope that explains it.

There is a lot of hot rhetoric here on FR, which is as it should be. But none of Trump's defenders think he is "conservative" on a litmus test of issues. In fact, on such a scale Rubio is probably "more conservative."

But then you get to two key components that take priority over everything: 1) immigration and 2) does he love America over some international order?

When these are prioritized, he is clearly first with Cruz very close.

But then you add "trust" which is not only do you trust him to do the right thing but do you trust that he will have the financial, party, and mental independence from the "machine" to do what we want to see done? I think on this he is well above Cruz.

The comparison isn't perfect, but in WW II the British chose Churchill even though they (wrongly) didn't like any of his social philosophy because they needed to survive first. Our priority is to survive this invasion from two fronts.

True, and since Reagan can’t run again, and his physical condition would exclude him from doing anything but voting democrat, we will have to give up on him for now. Trump, and/or Cruz are good choices,IMHO...

On fact 1. That is why they have to keep bringing in more and more third world immigrant as it ensures their power grab and wealth.

Trump is the battering ram to the White House and he will hopefully take Cruz in with him. Get the cleanup underway and Cruz can take over in four years.

But that would again mean a true conservative wouldn’t be running and the theme has been not running a true conservatives won’t get us the White House.

Once again, Rush agrees with me. I know Trump is no conservative. Not being a conservative in no way disqualifies him from my vote, it just means I have questions about his vision and plans for this nation.
I find some of his past associations and statements troubling, but he ,like Carson and Fiorina has never voted to raise my taxes, commit this nation to a war, take away my freedoms, debase our currency saddle us and our children with unbearable debt and oh so many others.
Damned right I would/will vote for Trump.
