Rush is saying Trump has some virtues and some vices just like all of us. What really matters are the policies he enacts, and I dare say Trump has a lot more virtue than previous Republican presidents and presidential candidates who actively worked against the interests of those who voted for them. Trump tries to do what he promised!

We watched the Leftist media excoriate W and then kiss Obama’s ass for a total of sixteen long years. Bush couldn’t articulate a defense to save his life. Now we have a president who fights back to do what’s right for We the People! You can’t get much more virtuous than that. Think of what Trump sacrificed for us. The left will attempt to destroy him and his family by any means possible for the rest of their lives!!!

MAGA!

Mormons worship Satan and think they come from planet Kolob.

Rush stated......" Romney represents the 25-year-old Republican establishment. He also represents the Never Trumpers, which are part of the out-of-touch Republican and in some cases conservative establishment. They are so out of touch and they're so focused on things that are not relevant today that were 25 or 30 years ago.".....

Men who follow Joseph Smith ought not bring up the matter of character.

You cracked me up with that one.

Not terribly familiar with Smith or the Mormon religion. Please enlighten me. I know about the polygamy stuff. Is there something else?

I like Mark Twain's take on it since he was closer to the events. This does not discuss the kidnapped wives, daughters and sisters along the way but it does touch on the fact that Mormans have always hated with a burning passion the United States of America and all of us so called "Gentiles" who they feel persecuted them through time.

The distinction is simple: the elitists would rather have someone who says the right thing, but does the wrong thing. And we'd rather have someone who says the wrong thing (well, he sometimes does) but does the right thing.

Rush could have revived one of his slogans from back then - "style over substance". That's exactly how Romney and his ilk prioritize things.

Our relationship to government and our 'leaders' has changed. We've learned the limitations of "character" the hard way. We used to vote for character because we wanted the president, for example, to make decisions and policies we couldn't comprehend or follow. The Bushes were men of high character, and they killed the country.

We've learned the hard way that 'being ruled by our betters' isn't working. We figured out what the country needs, and why. In that sense, we're the true descendants of the Founders. That's why we have no interest in any more Bushes or Clintons. We want someone who won't insult our intelligence.

In the case of Trump, we voted for him because he promised the policies we believe the country requires...and we believed he would follow through.

That's why Trump. And the last two years has only strengthened our resolve, reinforced our beliefs.

We don’t need any more politicians. That’s why we elected a businessman.

"Trump has exposed the elitists in both parties that believe their superiority entitles them to tell us how we should live and what our values should be. They’re wrong; as wrong as the king of England was, and as wrong as the Axis Powers were."

That is exactly the primary issue, and why they hate him so much. He makes it clear that being a politician, and getting elected, does not mean in the slightest that you are bright, superior, or even marginally competent.

“We don’t need any more politicians. That’s why we elected a businessman.”

Yep! Put another way, we don’t need any more politicians. We need people who actually have skills.

Part of the reason “character” wasn’t seen as important when Clinton was President was that the Republicans were seen as hypocrites on moral issues at the time. A case in point is Mitt Romney himself. He talks the GOP line, until he benefits from acting otherwise in the most self aggrandizing way possible.

“I can’t spare this man, he fights.”

Lincoln said it of a general in the civil war. That general drank, he wasn’t well kept. When he travelled to Washington to accept the promotion to the highest command since George Washington, he was initially given a closet for a hotel room because his uniform was dirty (travelled non-stop to DC after breaking out of Chattanooga), unassuming, and not buttoned, and acommpanied by a single servent (his son whom he picked up in Ohio along way). His name was Grant, and he aggressively attacked the south until it collapsed. Lee feared him, for good reason. Battle tested, tough as nails, and could predict Lee’s movements, and pushed until victory.

Trump is Grant. He isn’t cute, isn’t nice, says the wrong things, but he fights and wins for the United States.

The problem: Trump had to endorse the swamp & political jellyfish Romney’s senate bidding.
