"Trump has been straightforward about illegal immigration, the Muslim refugee crisis, the minimum wage and taxes — and the public loves what he has to say."
Trump takes the lead on being straightforward concerning critical issues facing America!!! Go Trump!
Carson and Trump are comfortable in their skin and are fearless.
:Go do what Ben Carson’s done and then tell him and tell the rest of us that he doesn’t know what he’s doing, “
I can’t. I would never speak with Al Sharpton, praise him or have Farakahn supporters in my presence much less advising me. Nor would I ever tell people in cities they could not have guns.
So you got me there Rush.
What’s with the BOOM! Lately in every story? Are these editors middle school students?
Illegal Immigration Clarity, and Middle east insight is why I found Trump appealing after Walker fell.
I’m glad Rush is backing these guys but remind me how this differs from the ‘96 debates and Alan Keyes? Back when Rush would go ballistic if anyone breached his 10 point Kook test!
I think Carson has some issues especially immigration and illegals and he needs to have his feet held to the fire. We’ll see.
Oh, Rush, telling these yokels that you don’t give a damn what they think - that’s great - flies in the face of political correctness.
But telling people Trump’s personality is none of their business? That’s stupid. OF COURSE it’s their business. Trump is a public figure asking you to hire him, pay him, and give him immense power.
Stick with what’s true, Rush, and don’t go flying off the deep end.
Barely readable. Yes, I know it’s not your fault.
Shocka locka locka . . .
He sure is. Straightforward supporter of Obama's stimulus (porkulus) - Go Trump! Straightforward supporter of corporate bailouts - Go Trump! Straightforward supporter of Kelo v. Connecticut - Go Trump! Straightforward supporter of 'universal' healthcare - Go Trump! Straightforward the awful single-payer system in Canada - Go Trump! Supports continuing to fund all of the 'good' things Planned Parenthood does and winning praise from the organization - Go Trump! Straightforward in lecturing "you conservatives" that we'll "just have to get used to it - get used to it, conservatives!" when it comes to the government 'taking care of everyone' - Go Trump! Etc, etc, etc. (no, you are not deranged, an agent of the GOPe, etc. to be disturbed about all of these things being collectively in a single candidate - there is no perfect candidate, but this is too many ultra liberal positions for one candidate to have to feel exactly comfortable with him as a frontrunner for the GOP nomination)
In any event, this article is just a bit misleading in how it is setting the context of his remarks - Rush did not "unload" "on his website" - he stated this on his show and the transcript and archive audio is uploaded there. Moreover, this wasn't just about him defending Carson and Trump - the topic was the 'analysis' done that the GOP and its candidates are no higher than a middle school intelligence level. Hence, Rush's other mocking commentaries about Charlie Rose's "2nd grade level" questions he made the same day. Here is transcript of the remarks this article is referencing: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/10/29/who_are_these_people_to_tell_us_we_re_stupid - not the same context this article tries to reference - he is unloading on the media's attack that conservatives / Republicans in general are intellectually inferior and defends all of the candidates, not just Carson and Trump.
I like Cruz and Carson and find the attack distortions of their careers distasteful at the least.
Trump is the only one who can win...well,...it seems that the republicant circular firing squad won’t be happy until there’s once again a democrat in the White House....then they can do what they do best....bitch and complain to a conservative radio host for the next 4 years.
For so long, the GOP has not had many candidates who have been impressive. Despite their individual shortcomings, most of which are minor, Cruz, Dr. Carson, Trump all have excellent qualities and are fit to lead. No matter which of these head the ticket in 2016, all most certainly qualify for positions in a renewal administration. Most important is for those who support them to hold their feet to the fire, daily.
Rush has been trying to get the GOP to hear us for years. I think he’s pretty much given up on them ever hearing anyone but themselves. But Rush has new hope since Trump came on the scene. I do too.
Rush just wants someone to be the next President who will do something to stop the carnage. He knows there is no hope with the rep house and senate. He knows it will take a person strong and determined, to take on all of washington and the club that wants to control everything to their liking. Rush knows there may be only one who can do that .. and it’s Trump. Rush likes Cruz and Carson .. but not sure they are as strong in temperament and determination, to stop the damage from continuing.. to turn it around... to deport the illegals.. to build the fence... to drill baby drill.... to overturn obamacare and get insurance back on a doable footing... to deal with the middle east... to treat our military well... to stop the spending... to shut the gov down if it takes that.... to stop reaching across the aisle.... to do what is right and to hell with the repercussions... to be strong and get America back on grounds that our enemies fear us and our friends trust us again... to stop the killings that obama has as much as encouraged...
Just to get someone in there that looks and acts like he loves this country... and wants to get it back to greatness again. it’s not asking too much to the person who can do it and WILL do it..
And just think: We are only starting. As the election nears the treasonists are going to get even more vicious, probably, more than likely will start resorting to illegal methods out of desperation. People like Trump, Carson, Cruz are huge threats to the treasonists agenda of destroying this country and it’s citizens.
I should post this comment. On Bret Bair Fox Casino last night, Trump garnished I think a $5 bet, maybe one $10. Carson the same. Bets $50 on Rubio and $25 on Bush still common.
IOWs these political pundit hacks, are writing off these two, and esp someone who has been in first place for over 100 days.
This is like Larry Holmes knocking down Joe Frazier twice in one round, and ringside announcers saying, “Okay, this is it, Smokin Joe is going to get up now and really put it to Holmes.”
I recall the same disdain for REagan. It was deep and it was severe and from the Bush’s. In fact, I think Reagan lost New Hampshire, then came roaring back.
How can any true conservative, republican you name... or just plain American identify with Bush and Rubio. I like Cruz, but it’s not his time.
Trump resonates with me. I’m a doctor. I think I’m a smart man. Am I being duped by someone, whom I think is a great American and who truly understands Americans and their culture?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? $5 CHIP ON TRUMP? ONLY $5? SOME DIDN’T EVEN GIVING HIM A CHIP.
Rush is right... I just turned 50 this year, I am ready to give up my Republican registration and switch my registration to independent after 32 years, my republican beliefs went back farther than that, We had field trips one year to each of the candidates headquarters in Portland... and I just knew we were in DEEP trouble if Carter won. I stayed up way too late that night waiting for results... and I remember crying my eyes out when Carter beat Ford, I had just turned 11 a couple months before that night.
The GOP has left me! They wont support any of the top candidates and are actively working against them, in some cases, possibly damaging them for the General. Not only will they support anybody that currently has the bulk of the party’s support, instead are wasting $$$ trying to cram another hand picked loser down our throats like they have the past two presidential elections.
In hindsight, I don’t believe they wanted to beat Obama, McCain certainly did not! It’s looking like they have no interest in winning this time around either, I am sick of them and my days of supporting the party line are done. I am done voting for career politicians in general... I feel like I have no other way of showing my displeasure with my party besides ending the registration. Arizona fixed it so I can register independent and also vote in the primaries so I am leaning that way heavily right now.
I don't think there is any issue that he is NOT straightforward on.
I know some here dont like Rush but for my money he is right on target. I think there is more than one candidate that listens to his advice.....
“On his website, Limbaugh said, don’t care what you think of Donald Trump’s personality.”
I’d like to know what’s wrong with Trump’s personality. I think people can’t handle the fact that he’s honest when that’s so abnormal in politics now.
I’ve worked for men with similar personalities (bombastic, smart, funny, self confident, and honest) and they were the best bosses! They kicked ass when it came to accomplishments and successes. You always knew exactly where they were coming from, and where you and others stood. Work was always interesting. The icing on the cake was that we had fun!
I’d like to say the same things about when I worked for women but they were dreadful! They could never pull off the “self confident” thing — always paranoid and humorless. I love retirement.
