In the wake of national outrage over perceived rigging in the presidential primary process, talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh is urging political outsiders such as Donald Trump to learn the rules of the game if they wish to achieve success.
On his broadcast Tuesday, Limbaugh reminded listeners that both the Republican and Democratic Parties are private organizations, and are akin to businesses who don’t want an outsider coming in and taking over the show.
“The first order of business of any business is to stay open. The second order of business is to make sure the people who run it continue to run it. To stop coup d’etats, so to speak,” Limbaugh said.

“Right now the Republican Party’s number one objective is to save itself from Donald Trump and his supporters. It’s not to embrace them. It’s not to grow the party using Trump as the magnet. That’s the worst thing. They don’t want Trump to be the one that grows the party. That puts Trump in control of the party. They’re never gonna give that up. That’s gonna have to be taken from them.”
Rush seems to feel that Trump will not be the Republican Party nominee. He feels that the party insiders will never let it happen.
Rush may be right.
I read another Freeper comment this morning about how we have to cut Rush some slack. It’s hard work for him doing double duty talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Even Rush is drinking the Cruz-aide.
I guess one of Rush’s rules that has worked so well for him is to pretend he is one of “us,” patriotic conservatives. And I would still be believing it if the NYT hadn’t come out with a story that behind our backs Rush kowtowed to Chuck U Schumer et al, never told us he changed his show content to please the libs, and when caught doubled down on his lie by omission, , defended himself angrily, and called the rest of us “haters.”
If Russia could shed the Communist Party, we can damn sure shed both the Republican and Democrat parties and it’s about time we did.
no no, I listened to the entire thing. He quite properly used Reagan as an example. Reagan was the ultimate usurper. Here was a guy primarying a sitting president. They hate Reagan to a degree that Ted Cruz and Trump could only dream of.
The first time around in 1976 Reagan had more delegates but the establishment used the rules to win a contested convention. The next time around Reagan came prepared and used those same rules to smash the establishment’s control and seize the party. But seize it he had to, make no mistake about it.
What Rush was saying is that nothing has changed since the days of Reagan and if you want to grab this party from the establishment you need to use their rules against them.
Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizen, Cuban-Canadian, Pinocchio Ted attacking Big Donald at CNN freestyle match.
Cruz "character":
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.
2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a Seven Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.
4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.
5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.
6. Uses Trump's wife in advertising "vote for Cruz" and then screams that Trump hates women, while he "loves them" - keeping few extra mistresses.
Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?
Liar is the polite term for this Cuban-Canadian. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?
IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a "natural born citizen" is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

THINK FOR YOURSELVES!
One of you? Trump isn’t a conservative.
“The Rules” are made by the rulers, and designed to keep the rulers in power.
They are not designed to be understandable to the common man.
They exist to keep people like Trump OUT.
Yes he should learn the field he is playing in- but only so it can BE EXPOSED AND THEN RIPPED TO SHREDS
I think not.
He must be feeling the heat from his joyful embrace if “it’s is not cheating, it’s winning” stupidity.
The cards were stacked against Trump by the GOP; Trump could not have done anything about it even if he had memorized the punctuation in the rule book.
And on another note, I have noticed that the second someone makes an observation about what Trump is doing wrong or could be doing better they are instantly labelled a “Cruz Bot” or some such nonsense.
Rush has endorsed nobody in this race. He is making observations. He has also made some that Cruz supporters might not want to hear. The absolute lack of objectivity that the heat of this race is generating is alarming.
Here is my choice, Cruz, Trump, either as long as it is not the GOPe. I support Cruz but if Trump wins I am all behind him and will work to get him elected. I will do this because I know full well that if either gets the nomination you can bet your bottom dollar that our friends in the establishment will be working to undermine both.
Not so sure about this. The GOPe hates Cruz and right wing ideologs worse than Trump. They are going to use Cruz to inoculate themselves against the conservative wing.
America is no longer free to play the political kabuki of the past. That is how we got here. The nation will never again be a shining beacon to the world if the establishment from either party remains intact. I hope that before it’s too late, the people who have the ear of the people come to understand that we are at a cross roads, not unlike that of our founders.
Court cases won by technicalities is much like winning the nomination by rules. Both leave bad tastes in the mouths of everyone except the winners. But both are pyrrhic victories in the end.
Second (or third) place Cruz is now saying: “65,000 people voted in the state of Colorado. They just didn’t vote for you Donald Trump. They voted for our campaign."
Cruz is fond of that ploy-----labeling votes he received (or stole) as anti-Trump-votes.....but Cruz never applies Trump's voluminous vote-getting as being against him.
If Trump won by staggering numbers....that means Cruz lost by staggering numbers.....many many more rejected Cruz than they did Trump.
Does this look like Trump was rejected?
Trump.....8,256,309.... 37.0 1%....758 delegates
Cruz......6,319,244....28.33%.....533 (plus all he can steal)
Cruz keeps losing and losing. About time he bows out gracefully and admit he lost. And he should stop finagling the numbers.
================================================
Lowlife Ted ....the human cockaroach....is crawling around 24/7 grabbing delegates he is not entitled to.
If there were any failings, it's b/c the Trump people just did not envision the likes of a scumbag like St Ted, reworking the rules to HIS benefit.......the Saint is obsessed w/ Trump hatred, bent on undoing Trump's wins.
AS FREEPER SAM ADAMS76 POSTED: "Cruz would love to have Trump’s 'delegate problems.' Trump is hundreds of delegates ahead and about to ring up a couple hundred more before this month is up. What happened to Cruz’s much ballyhooed “ground game” in the Deep South? He had his head handed to him by a Yankee. I don’t see much Cruz ground game here in New York either. Except for some footprints in the Bronx where he made a rather hasty retreat. I guess Cruz isn’t in Kansas anymore." (hat tip Sam Adams 76)
My biggest gripe is con artist Cruz sees a "party rule" and connives to make it work only to HIS advantage. Crux is exactly the type of candidate w/ an obsessive thirst for power that the Framers of the Constitution wanted the new Nation to guard against.
When candidates lose, they gracefully bow out. St Cruz Gives a victory speech. His maniacal lust for power tags him as the kind of candidate the Framers of The Constitution wanted the new Nation to avoid.
One of you? Trump isn’t a conservative

Rush has been right side on every issue for 30 years and these people cast him aside for a guy that changes his position to suit his audience. The calls people liars when they bring it up. Unbelievable
The Insiders, Uniparty globalists, Crony capitalists, Goldman Sachs whores, want a rigged system. They are not really conservative and they are definitely not nationalist or patriotic.
