Rush Limbaugh is a marketing/entertainment/semi-conservative genius. He deliberately asked the question "Why would anyone want to vote Republican?" knowing the desperate Democrats & media propagandists would jump on it to TRY to discourage people from voting Republican.
The leftist liberals swallowed the bait whole as Rush played sound bite after sound bite of liberals quoting Rush as having questioned Trump. As they claw to swim to the top of the political pool in which they are drowning and gasp for air, they fell for it hook, line and sinker. ROFL.
This is hilarious. The amount of free advertising of Rush Limbaugh’s name from this one incident alone is a de facto free multi-million dollar gift.
Trump used the same ‘echo chamber’ tactics during his campaign. The left kept on ringing his bell for him, then reacting to the ringing, thus saving Donald billions in free advertising.
I believe the term du jour is trolling and it was masterfully executed, IMO.
Rush didn’t “play” anyone. He pointed out (mildly in my view) the obvious. The CR of was a gift to the Rats and a betrayal. The fact that Trumps team is out there trying to spin it as a win instead of Vetoing it does not bode well.
Rush is pumping his own ratings and trying to restore his lost credibility with conservatives.
So what?
We are in a civil war at home, and stand on the brink of war abroad.
The enemy is the Uniparty at home and a multitude of enemies abroad. We will LOSE that war unless we fight SMART. Going to battle at a time and place of the enemy’s choosing is a time honored way to LOSE.
Thank God President Trump is not that stupid.
Anyone who thinks President Trump is not a fighter is wrong. Anyone who thinks he is stupid is wrong.
President Trump will go to battle at the time and place of HIS choosing, and ONLY after he has his own team in place and is READY for that battle.
Consider the alternative: Does anyone really think we should go to battle at a time and place of the enemy’s choosing? Before President Trump even has his own team in place, and we stand on the brink of war with North Korea?

Agreed. Pres Trump has squandered an opportunity if he does not veto. HATE TO BE CYNICAL,but it would not surprise me if he touts the reduction of illegals at the border as a reason for not building a barrier, ignoring the national security issues. After all...he has a heart re DACA.
Very good points.
