Conservative Talk Radio Hosts Don’t Reject Trump In Wake Of Muslim Ban Proposal
Buzz Feed News ^ | December 8, 2015 | Rosie Gray

“Now, folks, the conventional wisdom is that Trump is scum, that Trump is a reprobate, that Trump is dangerous, that Trump is obscene, Trump’s insane, Trump’s a lunatic, Trump’s dangerous, Trump’s got to go. Why join in with that phrase? Why join that crowd?”

WASHINGTON — Conservative talk radio hosts didn’t endorse Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslim immigration on Tuesday — but they certainly didn’t condemn him and almost uniformly refrained from criticizing him or his plan.

Talk radio heavyweights Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin showed different levels of sympathy for Trump’s idea on Tuesday. These hosts, who boast large audiences of conservative listeners, have been pro-Trump to various degrees for months, and have been the most significant media engine behind Trump’s startling rise, echoing and reinforcing Trump’s rhetoric, particularly on immigration....

As the Reagan campaign developed through ‘79 and into 1980, I began to lose my fear as I realized that RR knew what he was doing and could handle the brickbats and phony outrage.

I don’t feel that secure about Trump at this point, but I am beginning to believe that he doesn’t open his mouth without being absolutely sure he is in the right and can handle the blowback.

“The Fox News crew seems to be siding with Jeb Bush/ the Democrats...”


Depends, the usual suspects have been doing what they do. Kelly might as well make it official and move over to MSNBC at this point.

But for the most part they have reporting fairly and acknowledging most Americans are in agreement with Trump.

Everyone ignored that poll when it came out that half of American Muslims support Sharia and a quarter support using violence to get it. Just like they have ignored polls like that for years. Well, Trump won’t let them ignore it this time. He just needs to keep repeating it until they acknowledge it’s a problem.

I turned 59 last week myself, though i’m out of the country at the moment i’m pretty glad America has finally found a legitimate spokesman of the people.

Its pest control time, even if it requires tearing down the house. Its going to upset those that are weak, but it also shows real patriotism, bottom line is this, its a problem, time to fix the problem.

The elites are arrogant nothings. They think they run things. There might be as many as maybe 10,000 total. Then there are the voters and there are tens of millions of those.

Trump realizes that it is a matter of who has the most troops. It is that simple. Right now Trump has 30 million on his side maybe more. I suspects it will grow to around 70 million.

The elites can scream all they want they have already lost. They are upset because when voters wake up and realize how much power they have the elites are out of business. That is what this is all about.

The elites have lost already. A few weeks from now this will have blown over because to prolong it would make Trump even stronger. So they will shut up and Trump will be well over 40% support probably mid to high 40’s. Checkmate by President Trump yet again.

She also lost about 500,000 viewers with the stunt she pulled in the first debate and fell to third place behind Bret Baier!!! That is why she hates Trump.

You do not understand Trump yet. Trump has a plan but you need to know a little more about him.

Check this out and see how he follows his own advice in the campaign.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prt50LcQLe4

Trump has already written a book Called the Midas Touch. He has posted a series of 5 videos on youtube 2-3 minutes long. Watch the videos and you will understand what Trump is doing and that he as a solid plan.

It is fascinating to watch Trump run his campaign and that he is following exactly the principles in the Midas touch. He is not that hard to figure out. These principles are what have given him his mega success. Take time to understand and you will really enjoy watching Trump succeed.

after watching Red Eye tonight, it was pretty clear they were all undermining his candidacy and I have listened to Lindsay Graham calling Trump a race baiting xenophobe on Fox news tonight at least a dozen times tonight. Over and over and over they’re airing negative statements and comments about him. They are very much against Donald Trump.

I’m not real thrilled with Kimberly Guilfoyle either. Her bit on O’Reilly was pretty disgusting. Apparently we can’t even put a temporary halt on Islamic immigration because of the United Nations. Her words.

I saw that segment by accident while clicking around while a Christmas movie was in commercial. I feel dumber for it. You are quite correct, even understating it. I would say that Kimberly Guilfoyle is one of the dumbest broads I have ever seen embarrass herself on TV - well, if it wasn't for the fat blonde sitting next to her, who is even dumber yet. If a bound copy of the Federalist Papers fell from the sky and landed on their heads they still wouldn't know what 'Constitutional' means.

I have heard people praising Guilfoyle for years, ( for what? Her uber-makeup moderately good looks? ). She and Princess Megyn are two prima facie examples of affirmative action law degrees, and are on the air solely because they possess legs, boobs and vaginas. Their massive epic fail of incessant over-talking, stammering and stuttering of treaties and UN rules to define un-Constitutionality illustrates the inch-deep tabloid nature of Murdoch's Fox News, and especially Bill O'Reilly.

BOR has always said our researchers are looking into this or that, and now I hope and pray that everyone sees exactly what that means. It means ... nothing. They research nothing and then drag out the legs and boobs to make that nothing presentable - to the tabloid lovers.

He did this for Dumbo's lack of natural-born-citizenship eight years ago ( all the while adhering to their no-"Hussein" agreement between Axelrod and Murdoch/Ailes ). He did this over the 14th Amendment dispute with Anchor Babies. He did it for practically every legal or Constitutional issue that rolls down the pike. At this very moment he is being exposed as a fraud for the Reagan book ( listen to Levin from Tuesday 12/08 when he skewers him by name ) which will hopefully be his downfall.

Yep, that segment on O'Reilly really encapsulates the nature of that show. It is unfortunate that anyone still takes it seriously. It is utter Idiocracy.

Somewhere tonight I heard either Grahamnesty or his 'spokesman' accusing Trump of being a Democrat plant.

Yes ... Grahamnesty accused someone of being a Democrat plant.

There must have been a lightning rod installed nearby because he did not instantly get vaporized.
