Rush Limbaugh went on FOX News Sunday to discuss the contentious Republican primary and recent developments including Mitt Romney’s scurrilous attacks on Donald Trump this week.
Rush Limbaugh told Chris Wallace – while Mitt Romney was listening – that Mitt did the same thing to Trump as his father did to Barry Goldwater in 1964.
Chris Wallace: Let’s start with Mitt Romney’s speech this week in which he basically joined the anybody but Trump movement. You say that that is going to backfire with Trump supporters and other voters are going to see it as the establishment trying to tell them what to do. With Mitt Romney listening explain what he’s missing.
Rush Limbaugh: Well, it’s all that and more but it’s not unprecedented. His dad did much the same thing against Barry Goldwater in a cabal with Republican establishment guys back in 1964. The establishment, this isn’t new. The establishment not wanting outsiders, not wanting conservatives, it isn’t anything new… Donald Trump is putting together a coalition that the Republican Party says is exactly what it needs to win. And, yet look what they’re doing. They’re trying to get Trump out of the race because they’re not in charge of it.

Romney is up after Rush if you want to elevate your blood pressure.
Judge Jeanine is awesomely supporting Trump however.
Yesterday, Saturday, I voted for Trump in the Louisiana primary and wore my 1964 Goldwater badge to the poll. I was active in the 1964 presidential election and back then the establishment existed and was called the “Rockfeller Republicans”, today called the RNCe.
Goldwater was doing quite well in the fall of 1963 against Kennedy but after Dallas the tide turned against him but he did carry Louisiana and five other southern states.
I have a recording of his acceptance speech in San Francisco that I will have to give a listen to today after I mow the yard.
Go Trump, Go Cruz...
Go to hell Rubio, political midget with a motor mouth...
Heh, heh. Knowing ahead of time that Rush invokes Mitt’s dad’s denunciation of Goldwater caused me to chuckle at Wallace’s opening tease about the “unprecedented attack on the front-runner.”
See post #2! We don’t have to give Fox anything!! :-)
“They’re trying to get Trump out of the race because they’re not in charge of it.”
Limbaugh is dead on right here. But I would add two words:
or Trump.
I will watch that several times to drive up the view count.
I have no problem driving up Faux News's ratings for a few minutes.
Love it. Some folks have longer memories than mine. I did not know the Romney connection to the ‘64 election.
Jeff Sessions is counseling Trump. That seals it for my doubts.
Besides which he is loveable and Cruz is all facade.
I like authenticity.
oh yeah i remember President Goldwater. ahem.
Will be joining you though not early on Tuesday.
This is key folks, and it really shows that the GOP cares nothing more about getting their chance to feed at the trough.
All these articles from the NY Times and Washington Post about how Trump is destroying the party is bogus. Voter enthusiasm for the Republicans is at its highest ever, and both Trump and Cruz are the front-runners.
I agree- I remember all of the constant insults and scare tactics used by both sides against Reagan and the treatment of Trump is incredibly similar. They also kept harping on about his age, even though he ran circles around them!
The crazier the insults, the more certainty I have that he is on the ‘right’ track!
Mitt Romney is a sad, quisling loser! What he and his ilk don’t realize is that a very large part of the American people are “pukeing sick” of of the cabal that rules America. A POX ON THEM AND OFF WITH THEIR HEADS. Go Donald.
Wallace actually referred to Reagan as soft and inclusive.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at his next Washington cocktail party.
The Romley apples don’t fall far from the trees, and Milt is no exception.
Not so. Cruz has walked the walk fighting GOPe in the Senate. He did as he promised the people of Texas he would.
I did the same over 10 years ago....tuned out “Fox”. I only watch snippets of shows or read articles that are posted here or on Drudge or Breitbart. As Bradbury stated—most MSM is a waste of time-—just a “dog and pony” show: “white noise”. “News” is like the Gladiator games during the Fall of Rome——the Romans were fat and happy getting “crumbs” from their elite masters, distracted and entertained, as Rome was invaded and burned.
I tend to read the Great Books and the biographies of the great thinkers and philosophers of Western Civilization, and the few from the East, so I soak in their wisdom of the ages and their understanding of Reality-—for a vision of the Forest, instead of being just focused on a few trees where I can’t make sense of anything.
The world remains incoherent without the Knowledge of the past (Classical Christian curricula) and is why our schools destroy the ability for children to understand anything in history-—it is all revisionism and erasing of Words/ideas/Christianity so we return to paganism/satanism (occultism as viewed in the Super Bowl half-time), put through a Marxist/Freudian irrational Lens, to warp all perceptions and emotions and create non-thinking “bots” like we see voting for the irrational, vile Bernie Sanders and a treasonous killer like Hillary Clinton.
MSM is about controlling emotions only—hardly a bit of “truth”, and elevating emotions to destroy Reason and Logic (which now is never transmitted by our indoctrination centers— skools).
Right on point.
My earliest political memory is my father’s strong support for Goldwater, AU H2O! I have been a Constitutional Conservative for a long, long time!
