Trump Sparks War Within Conservatism

RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites, because this is the next phase of this, and that is this internecine war going on within conservatism.

First up, CNN's Reliable Sources on Sunday morning, Brian Stelter the host, and he brought in Jackie Calmes from the New York Times who wrote this big, long piece last week about how talk radio is steering the Republican Party down the wrong path and everybody's afraid of talk radio. The Republican Party, it's just a shame. Washington was so much better before there was talk radio, Washington was so much better before there was Fox News, and now this has messed everything up.

So she's studying the impact of conservative media on national politics, and to start the discussion, Brian Stelter said...

You see? You can talk sense when you try.

I talk sense all the time, you just lack the ability to see it. That's a reflection on you, n00b, not me.

The thing about your litany is that it's true.

I don't mind people being excited about Trump sticking it to the media and the left, but we have to be clear-eyed about what we're getting into.

“making it sound” vs “I thought I had an opportunity to attack you”

You know the difference, so do I, so does everybody.

“Curz is still a candidate”

Are you ‘curzing’ me out? You made it sound like it. (victim-like sigh)

Just in the past few minutes, I’ve seen a thread on which Trump fans say there’s no point in following the Constitution, and another where they say “I trust him!” in reaction to Trump’s desire to “police” the Iran deal instead of tearing it up.

I’ve never ever witnessed conservatives completely throw aside common sense in favor of blind, fervent devotion to a celebrity.

LOL, and that right there is enough to destroy every shred of credibility you might have had.

(And you had none).

Ask them to name any other liberal they trust. My guess is they can't name a one. So why trust liberal Donald Trump?

Because he’s awesome, and he says good stuff, and he’s going to do all these things because he has superpowers, and...

Seriously, that one stance of his-—refusal to tear up the Iran deal-—is reason enough for any thinking, serious person to dismiss him as a candidate.

That one?

How about these?

Donald Trump heaped praise on Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire in a Friday interview with a Concord radio station, calling the idea of having a woman as his running mate “absolutely great.”

Donald Trump mentioned 'terrific' Warren Buffett when he was asked about potential cabinet picks

If that doesn't say he can' be trusted what does?

Trump says what the other(Cruz excepted)candidates wont due to lack of intestinal fortitude or owing allegiance to the chamber of commerce which is my bet.

Oh huh. Is there some reason you left out all of his accomplishments as a Senator? The point you tried to be clever to avoid

The first time I ever looked at Trump I could tell he wasn’t someone I’d trust. Research has only confirmed it.

I gave a direct answer to the quotes I took from your post. So far, all Trump has done is talk about what he will do as president. Don’t let me start on his political record of contributions and who he has supported in the past.
