My Gut: Trump Beats Hillary in Landslide. (Rush)
Rush Limbaugh ^ | May 4,2016 | Rush

Posted on 05/04/2016 3:06:32 PM PDT by Hojczyk

But we'll get into all that. Let me give you one little thing: My instinctive feeling right now is that Trump is gonna win, beat Hillary badly, that it could be landslide proportions.

I still don't think people understand why Trump won this. I don't think they understand at all the reason people support Trump. And the deeper people are entrenched in politics, and the more they are accustomed to the templates and the handbooks and the theories and the playbooks, the less they're gonna understand it. The more they try to plug Donald Trump and his campaign and his personality into the professional politician candidate playbook that they use, the farther and farther from the truth they are going to get.

I've tried to help. During the course of this entire campaign, I've gone to great lengths to try to explain to people what it is about Trump, why he has his supporters, why they support him, and what you have to do to separate them from Trump. Basically, you can't. That's the bottom line. There's nothing any professional politician can do. They've done everything that they knew how to beat a candidate. They threw everything they had at Trump. I mean, the negative ads that they ran against him, these #NeverTrump guys and their PACs in all these states?

In indiana alone the amount of money spent on negative ads against Trump? And it didn't work. And in their world, negative ads always work. So they're out there scratching their heads today. You've got #NeverTrump people saying, "I said I was never gonna vote for Trump, and I'm never gonna vote for Trump -- and I mean it." You've got some people thinking about looking for third-party candidate. Others, it's a matter of honor, a matter of principle, to never vote for Trump. But they're caught between that and Hillary Clinton becoming president.

Because, as he said numerous times this election and past elections all the way back, he doesn’t endorse candidates in the primaries, and that would obviously be seen as an endorsement.

If Rush thinks this B.S. is going to get his listeners back, he is wrong...

He has called us Trump Supporters “Trumpets and other things” NO THANK YOU...go suck up the Koch Brothers for more money!!!

I have felt the same since last summer and it’s the primary reason I jumped on the Trump Train very very early on!

I thought any Republican would beat Hillary. Therefore I thought we should select someone who has demonstrated a consistent Ideology. He wouldn't have won by the margin that Trump will win by, but he would have won all the same.

Trump pulls heavily from Democrat constituencies. He's going to cut out sections of voters from Hillary that will make it impossible for her to win.

Agree. Trump is going to take the fight to Hillary in all 50 States.

He is going to beat her like a baby seal.

Mowing the Dems down decisively has a definite value. Everyone is put on notice that this isn’t just a sliver of victory.

Rush went after the #Never Trump Crowd hard and I hope he continues it.

He claimed that anyone who thinks Hillary Clinton is no different than Donald Trump doesn't know what is coming with a President Clinton the worst nightmare for the Country

". . . I've gone to great lengths to try to explain to people what it is about Trump,. . .

Funny thing about that, it didn't sound like explaining much of anything except why people should fall down at the feet of Rubio or Cruz.

LOLOL....he won’t get me back as a listener. I also cancelled my (10 year +) Rush 24/7 membership (once I realized he was a cRuzbot, a few months ago) and removed his app from my iphone/ipad.

I haven’t listened in months and haven’t missed him a bit.

you are so right! Limbaw lost many listeners and his crap wafted through the airwaves. Peeps understand what he did and what he is about, a total phony.

He has been repeatedly accused of being a Trump fan.

He has also repeatedly been accused of being in the tank for Cruz.

He makes on excuses for wanting to beat the Democrat nominee, and thinks Hillary would be a disaster.

They already have. Two nights ago a Trump spokesman(Pierson I think) and hit the “Bimbo eruption” head on. Talking about her letter to a friend calling Monica Lewinsky names.

I’ve already known this for months, even as the Cruzers and the media were swearing up and down that Trump would win 3, 4 states max.

The Trumpening. It is happening. Like it or not.

Rush has been pretty fair all the way through the process. He admitted he is friends with both Trump and Cruz, and golf buddies with Trump. I think he’s done a good job, but the attention span of people is SO bad these days that they’ll listen to a 10-minute segment of his three-hour show and think he’s dissing one or the other.

I listen three hours daily. He has celebrated Cruz for his conservative creds, he has celebrated Trump for changing the entire game and making people feel their voices are part of the process again.

Rush is a true conservative and I hope he plays lots of golf with Trump.
