Trump is showing he’s better than practically anybody in media in attracting an audience, in holding an audience, and he doesn’t need a producer and he doesn’t need a writer or writers and he doesn’t need a director. There’s a whole lot of people threatened by this on a whole lot of different levels. Like I discussed yesterday, Donald Trump has turned the standard operating political formula upside down. There’s a formula in professional politics about how you get elected.
You have to hire a consultant. You have to hire pollsters. You have to hire data analytics people. You have to hire spokesmen. You have to hire get-out-the-vote people. I mean, you have to hire, hire, hire, hire, and then you have to get the best who do what they do, and you have to listen to them. You have to plan to the Nth detail every minute of the day, every appearance. Trump’s done none of it and has, in the process, illustrated that may — if I were in the professional politics business, I would feel so threatened right now because I’m looking at somebody who has demonstrated that my expertise isn’t necessary.
I would think, if I’m a consultant, if I’m a spokesman, if I’m a policy analyst, I’d look at this whole Trump phenomenon and go, “I’m not needed. People are gonna realize it. People are gonna realize I’m not needed.” Let’s say you’re a foreign policy advisor for candidate X. Trump doesn’t have any. He’s leading the pack. So it’s no wonder he’s gonna be criticized for everything he’s doing. People have turf to be protected here, folks. This is huge, what’s happening here, in all kinds of ways.

Bingo, people who making a living off a corrupt system that protects the rabidly incompetent usually fear change.
Agreed, and I like the fact that Trump is exposing all the “self licking ice cream cones” that deem themselves so self important and essential to society today. Most of them produce nothing of value.
Gosh.. blogs must be doomed.
We know, Rush.
Did this fat dope ever apologize for going after Corey Lewandowski?
people who making a living
Yeah, that right there kind of paints you as incompetent too.
Write English much?
C'mon, Rush. Sooner or later isn't the country going to realize that its president needs some kind of policy advisers and foreign affairs experts?
No, he commented that Donald put him out their election night to be up in the medias face. Nothing about being falsely accused. Rush can’t walk back something he has said since he is the expert in his mind.
Yes. And Rush also knows that he is not needed either. Trump is making Rush’s typical analytical role irrelevant as well. Hence Rush’s latent hostility.
It was a good analysis. But I’m listening to him less and less. He seems to be playing both sides against the middle rather than taking any hard stands. IOW, I’m left wondering what his true convictions are and not certain whose side he is on.
Ultimately he seems to be on the maximize ratings and paycheck side. Fine for him. But to me it doesn’t make for good radio (or a good country).

Look in the mirror Rush...you festering bilious carbuncle.
Much better then you snark
Plus he’s coming across as a regular guy rather than the manufactured cookie cutter politician that we have seen over and over who come across as total frauds, the ones who use the JFK thumb and forefinger gesture, who have immaculate hair, ridiculous pre-rehearsed lines “I’m John Kerry and I’m reporting for duty”, Mitt Romney with his rehearsed Reagan mannerisms, who are completely over the top politically correct, who you can tell have umpteen advisors going over every last thread, every last nuance as if they are selling a car in showroom. I remember saying that to my brother last election, “what normal people talk like this?” Nobody does. Someone talked to me like that at a party I would think they were on drugs. Trump on the other hand by talking like a normal person, like a drinking buddy, puts himself on the same level as the people, he doesn’t look down on them like that arrogant buffoon John Kerry or ever worse Al Gore.
Now, see.. right there.
You screwed up two words and failed at punctuation.
And that was just a five word fragment.
Then does not equal than and you clearly meant "your" and a sentence ends with a period.
Are you retarded?
Rush, wrong again. Donald has plenty of pros helping him.
Donald has instinct, a crude but accurate understanding of individual and group behavior. When he needs detail and pros briefing him, he has a team that knows how to evaluate and retain the best, and importantly how to spot problems early and let them go.
What Limbaugh is alluding to is the political class who not always the best but know how to blast rhetoric that sounds good.
But isn't that the way it's supposed to be if your policy is to remain neutral and not endorse anybody?
One of the problems with Trump supporters is that being neutral is judged akin to being anti-Trump. And that being for another candidate is judged as a capital offense.
There is no tolerance for opposing views.
Someone really needs to get Mr. Trump or his associates to cook up a ‘commercial’ featuring the Blazing Saddles scene, “We’ve got to protect our phoney baloney jobs!”
Something like that would probably resonate quite nicely.
For the last decade they have depended on the consultant class to tell them what to think and do - in return for millions of dollars.
The Washington money for nothing crew of elite political consultants are a bunch of unprincipled, money grubbing grifers and charlatans who make millions dispensing advice to the know nothing political class
Many of these so called experts are also receiving serious big money under the table from foreign and other special interests who pay these consultants to weave the special interests into their advice
Many are also in the pay of the opposition party to induce the consultant to sabotage their candidates electability and throw the election their way
None of these consultants could give a damn about the future of the country and the welfare of its people
The DC Pundiots, tv/radio mediots and others sucking at the hind udder of the Gope open borders thugs will be out of a job when President Trump is sworn in.
Their so called job skills will be in as much demand as buggy makers and buggy whip makers, when Americans fell in love with the automobile.
That will be a good thing for Americans, who work for a living and don’t get a government check.
