Dr. Krauthammer: Dems Fear Trump
EIB The Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | March 18, 2016 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 03/18/2016 12:15:56 PM PDT by onyx


RUSH: I need you to grab a sound bite here. If I can find it real quickly. It's gonna be... Sorry, I should have done this during the break but I was doing something else. Grab number 15, audio sound bite number 15, last night on the Fox News Channel, Special Report with Bret Baier, speaking with Dr. Krauthammer about Trump's campaign.

And Bret Baier says, "You look at the Democrats and their reaction to Donald Trump. It appears that some of them are getting a little scared about the prospect of facing Trump. If you look at the turnout rate so far in the Republican primaries, it's exponentially higher."

original


KRAUTHAMMER: He's demonstrated the ability to bring out people who aren't regular voters, aren't regular Republicans. And he could alter the map. I think Democrats who thought six months ago that he was a joke -- I thought he was a joke as a nominee for the Republican Party, and a lot of people thought as well, and we were all wrong.

So he has the capacity to appeal. Democrats are beginning to think that this is not a slam dunk and this guy, he doesn't play by the rules; he makes 'em up. And under a new set of rules, she could lose to him.


RUSH: So Dr. Charles Krauthammer at the Fox News Channel said last night he was wrong for laughing at Trump, that Democrats are worried, and that Trump is actually bringing a bunch of new people into the Republican Party, and the Democrats are worried. That is true. I don't care what others tell you about where the Democrats are, but they'd be silly not to be. If they're smart politically, they would have to be concerned, which they are.

Nicely said Charles.

More than that.
It’s not fear that is driving people to vote for Trump.

It’s the promise of a return to American exceptionalism, shunning the leftist creep into mainstream society like acceptance of Bruce Jenner, illegal immigrants, etc., etc.,

Trade just brings us all of Bernie’s voters.

If Krauthammer is right about the GOP trying to knock Trump out of this race....I am guessing that most of us who want TRUMP to have his message also, will either drop out of the GOP or/and, decide not to vote. That would be an awful choice, but so be it.

On the other hand, the GOP, which is not smart politically, is doing everything it can to try to get rid of Trump.

They will eventually come back into the fold, hat in hand. That's what they do, they're dishonest. Hopefully Trump will kick them to the curb.

Trump’s history of supporting liberal causes and lack of depth when it comes to conservatism is drawing many away from the Democrats. His rhetoric as pertains to immigration is drawing many away from the Republican establishment vote. As for what Trump would actually do if/when he enters into public office for the first time: I suspect he will do what every other politician does, namely try to please everyone and thus prove ineffective. After all, he’s got a nation of little children to please.

Of course Dems fear Trump that’s why Trump is getting smeared all over the place. The Reps also fear him because they don’t control him but, after all, Trump is a Republican for the patronage race.

I like fear. Fear is good. I like it even better when my enemy’s fear is realized and becomes ANGUISH.

Onyx,

The Sultan of Smart and the Dr of Democracy finally catch up with what Freeper's felt in their gut last summer when he burst on the scene.

I am so over all of them, thank G-d for Kuhnerman, the only sanity lately, him and Laura Ingraham...

I never thought Trump was a joke. The punditry is a prisoner of its own ignorance.
