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.”

Very well stated. Reagan was Reagan and there will never be another.

We have to concern ourselves with what we have today both in terms of what problems there are to solve and who that are actually running that can solve them.

I’m looking forward to Trump in the WH and trying to get legislation through Congress. You know, people beholden to the Super PAC’s. Government is not top down management like Trump has in his companies. Someone isn’t on the program gets dispatched pretty quickly. He can’t dispatch representatives and senators beholden to Super PAC’s who stop his plans or those who simply see things differently. He isn’t walking up PA Avenue to Pelosi’s office and announcing “You’re fired”.

[joesbucks]

And that’s cool. Just pointing out Rush can flip flop depending on the circumstance.

[Axeslinger]

I find Trump to be a pompous ass and revolting most of the time. I am still going to vote for him. He blows through PC crappola like a blue berries thru a goose.

Just like he will blow through his newly found conservative beliefs if they stand in the way of his statist goal of the day.

Dear: Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and those of your similar professional circle.

After the fiasco that was Mitt Romney, for over two years each of you at one point or another have called for the broader conservative electorate, the generalized right or center-right, to unite in support behind one candidate who can defeat the leftist advancement and larger progressive agenda.

While railing at drive-bys, corporate interests, manufactured politics and various catch phrases, you have engaged a national audience and delivered opinion.

Did you actually mean it ?

Or was that all BULLSHIT ?

Because for the past six months a Republican front-runner has not only emerged, but has worked his ass off to earn the massive support he holds.

Have you noticed a campaign rally for Ted Cruz with 10,000+ in attendance? Have you seen Democrats switching parties just so they can support Marco Rubio? Are there grass roots websites helping Jeb-Democrats to register as primary supporting Republicans?

See the point?

Have you noticed another, as in any other candidate, willing to put his butt on the line to unapologetically discuss, advocate and advance the same issues important to your audience?

Well?

For six months only one candidate has waged war, when needed, against a corrupt industrial media complex in order to insure the delivery of his message, our message.

Only one candidate has pushed forward against the strongest adversaries in the media -forcing them to engage in policies, platforms and issue discussion they would never allow- and never backing down, always forward.

For six months only one candidate has put his entire brand, reputation, financials and honor at risk – with zero self-benefit as an outcome of the effort. For six months one candidate has campaigned for the most support, generated the most excitement and coalesced the largest base.

One candidate. Working exhaustively.

Have you seen another candidate with polling showing such diversity in support? Have you seen 25%-40% black support for Cruz, or Rubio, or Jeb? Does anyone else carry such a consequential broad base?

No, and no you haven’t.

Have you seen any other candidate lead the polls amid 18-32 year-olds with such dominance?

Have you seen another candidate hold so many campaign rallies in all of the important states? with packed audiences? with filled arenas? with thousands-upon-thousands in attendance? day-after-day-after day, often in the same week?

Have you seen another candidate’s audience response so committed, so engaged, so enthusiastic?

No, no you haven’t.

Have you seen any other candidate directly align with the principles and positions of the majority of the patriotic working class, the middle class, The American Class?

Have you seen any other candidate willing to take on Tom Donohue and the parasitic U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is no longer representing national best interests but promoting globalist best interests ?

No, no you haven’t.

Have you seen any other candidate who is not beholding to the financial corporate interests of Wall Street?

Have you noticed any other candidate with such overwhelming real and grass-roots financial support from Main Street?

No, being honest with yourself, you haven’t noticed that either.

So what is it exactly you are advocating for. You advocated for a specific action – for center-right Americans to come together and support a single candidate. These words were spoken by each of you, repeatedly, over the broadcast airways for the past several years.

These are YOUR WORDS, not ours – YOURS.

While coming together we have been ridiculed, marginalized, assaulted, called names, belittled, disregarded, attacked, besmirched and ignored. We battled through, and retained our assembly.

So here we stand. Millions of us – right here in a big, broad, united group; the largest single mass of people in the entire center-right country; standing directly in front of you, just like you asked; and we have selected our candidate.

As we stand here staring directly at you, we present a single question:

Well?

We are currently tuned-in, reading, watching, and listening to the various punditry saying the Republican Party is now collectively engaged in destroying the person we support and have outlined above.

We’ve done our part. Now it’s time for YOU to put your effort where your mouth was – put every single one of those Republican Donors and Operatives on notice….

Or, was everything you said previously – just BULLSHIT?

Please advise.

Warmest regards,

America

You’ve just shattered the trumpeter swans whole reason for voting for the schmuck

[DrPretorius]

I have never voted for a Dem...er, Marxocrat in my long life, for any office, at any level. I’ve voted every year since I’ve been eligible, which is over 40 years. I have voted for scumbag Repubs time and time again because, as I foolishly told myself, over and over, they were “the lesser of two evils”. After witnessing the collapse of my country during the Hussein era with the complicity of the Repubs, I decided that voting was now a farce and a charade, just like it must have been in Soviet Russia. I was determined not to vote at all, but watched with interest what Cruz was accomplishing. Then Donald Trump surfaced and blew the lid off the entire, sordid mess that is contemporary American politics. I have now decided to leave Cruz behind and go “all in” for Trump. And I am a Christian, Catholic, college graduate, US Navy veteran, retired IT professional. Rush Limbaugh is making a claim that can’t be substantiated.

[free_life]

Trump’s policy objectives and the manner in which he intends to carry them out are more conservative than any other candidate. Trump has the ability to win and that is the clincher for me. No Trump option and we will be watching Clinton being inaugurated .

[FourPeas]

Of course, Trump not being a conservative is not news, but Rush saying it so plainly is. It would be difficult to believe anyone is surprised by Rush stating the obvious.

[joesbucks]

I understand the support. I understand the frustration. I just don’t think a lot of his supporters are thinking beyond the words. I may be very wrong, but I believe a lot of this is no deeper than the shallow end of the baby pool.....drained.

[conservativejoy]

Cruz is not against Free Trade, he is just against TPP, which is far more than a trade agreement. TPP cedes our sovereignty and immigration laws, among other bad things.

[central_va]

I have not heard many statist goals, please tell me?

[Axeslinger]

You need to put down the crack pipe and step away from the drugs if you really believe that. Trump v Hillary the election is over as soon as she plays the gender card.

[Axeslinger]

No, no....you tell me what smaller government solutions does he have? If it ain’t smaller govt, it’s increasing govt: statist

[LS]

Well, I could say of Ted that despite his fantastic conservative credentials, what has he done? He has temporarily filibustered a shut down; he has voted for the Corker Bill (I know, after opposing it, or something); he voted for TPP (again, after supposedly voting against it).

The rationale on all this might be good, but the bottom line is that he has done---actually accomplished---no more than Trump.

[rrrod]

correcto

[central_va]

He is in favor of dissolving major government agencies. That would be a start to smaller govt. By eliminating it.

[gogeo]

Yes.

[Stentor]

LOL.

[Twinkie]

So. You think Hitler-y has “gravi-tas”?
