Limbaugh on Trump: ‘This Was One of the Most Effective Press Conferences I Have Ever Seen’
Breitbart ^ | 16 Feb 2017 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 02/16/2017 1:31:34 PM PST by detective

Thursday following President Donald Trump’s press conference to announce his pick for Labor Secretary, Alexander Acosta, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh applauded Trump’s performance on his nationally syndicated radio show.

Limbaugh while the media still won’t warm up to Trump, it was what his supporters wanted to see, which was a willingness to tout his achievements and take on some of the claims from the media.

Rush is good, but it is still hard to digest how he derided Trump supporters as being fixated on Trump, despite his primary difficulties, and despite the fact that a “true conservative with Cruz” was running.

Rush could not understand how so many could support Trump over Cruz, when we all knew Cruz was the only conservative running in the later months. Rush often said just that, as he was still trying to sound impartial.

He openly laughed at how Trump supporters could be okay with Trump, no matter what Trump did or said.

Rush can be a huge idiot. Cruz would have been a comparative disaster.

CBS This morning's reaction was predicable - They continued their fake reporting, I had to count about 10 instances of them not telling the complete story in order to make their left wing points, incredible. I could make a living critiquing fake news - give me a show FOX!

I keep telling the boy you've got to watch this - this is unique in American history -

The United States has never had a president like President Trump - Accountable only to the people - wonderful how he told the media point blank he won in spite of them. This man has never held political office and starts out at President. President Trump is incredible.

I kinda remember president Reagan he was funny, strong and smooth - President Trump is the American Revolution in your face cutting across time, class and culture. We missed out on something similar when Burr shot Hamilton.

There is a lot of little one liners and subtle things president Trump gets in that you only get if you've been following him intensely as lots of us have for the last going on 2 years now.

The man has an incredible memory and is wicked smart combined with being very fast on his feet. He is right now the greatest living magician - very little he does is by accident.

Just curious, where are the Rush haters jumping in and saying they stopped listening to the bloviator years ago. That Rush is nothing but a shill for the GOP............Maybe they’re still in bed

Rush was - at best he was lukewarm and on the bad days during the campaign Rush was AWOL - I listened, I participated he was not a rock solid supporter if a supporter at all - Rush was a Cruz guy he was smart enough not to go all in but "you don't get more of pure a conservative than Senator Ted Cruz" I'm paraphrasing-

Yesterday wasn't much of a Rush show as he JIPed most of the presidents news conference - not a criticism just that the Rush Limbaugh show yesterday was the president Donald Trump show except I had to jump to you tube because of the many commercials that litter Rush's show.

Maybe I've gotten older but I remember him being edgier, more spoof commercials just a better show - he still does a great job but its a bit flat - like I said maybe I've gotten older and what he talks about isn't as interesting to me - like football, ever since Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson couldn't figure out how to give Lynch the ball on the goal line to win the superbowl - I've lost interest.

Oh and then there was the revelation of Rush having lunch with Senator Lightweight Chuck Shumer.

This just in. Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago Thank you for all of the nice statements on the Press Conference yesterday. Rush Limbaugh said one of greatest ever. Fake media not happy!

The fake media doesn't know what hit them, they basically and predictably called the presser a Trump rant and rave and ignored the great stuff that he shared. The msm is fake, everybody knows it. Tuning in to the fake msm is absolutely no different than getting your news rom SNL.

I did not stop listening to Rush because of what he talks about. I stopped listening to him because of what he doesn't talk about.

michael mudhead said this proves Trump isn’t in control if himself.

Medved always has been a stealth Democrat. Understanding that one fact, resolves all the dissonant commentary coming out of his mouth.

I got to my destination and sat in my vehicle for 10 more minutes to listen to the end of it.

I was transfixed. I was due to leave the office around the time the presser began, but I couldn't tear myself away. I wound up pushing my afternoon appointmens back, so I could hear the whole thing.

"This guy is a master." A "master" in many ways. How many men could turn a one million dollar loan into TEN BILLION? How many men could single-handedly CRUSH the RINO establishment, the Bush Dynasty, the Clinton Dynasty, the Obama Legacy...AND THE LAME STREAM MEDIA!!??Donald J. Trump has in fact done all that!!?? 😲 Truly miraculous!

Parable of the talents.

Matthew 25:29-30

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Reads like the press conference itself, what the master is going to do to the media..

I recall that. Having listened to Rush since Sacto as a teen, you could feel the gears turning in his head during that period of uncharacteristic reticence. You could sense the gravity of what was happening dawning on him. Until the bulb fully came on he treaded more carefully than I’ve ever seen.

You could also tell his instincts were screaming at him he was missing something momentous. It’s now all quite sorted in his mind. I don’t think he’ll be pressing the “Okay, you asked to it, NOW is the time to panic and head for the hills” button in the foreseeable future.

I had three phones in my office all autodialing EIB for hours and hours re. Trump without success. I have dear friends who knew the future preside t and praised every aspect of his character, humanity and leadership and, like Bannon, et al, to a person they never doubted he woukd deliver.

It frequently doesn’t.

The Democrats tried the same thing to get Reagan.
