The Turtle Gets the Biggest Ovation of His Life
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | October 16, 2018 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 10/16/2018 12:54:47 PM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: I want you to hear the standing ovation the Turtle got. This would never have happened… I don’t know how long it’s been since Mitch McConnell was greeted with this kind of love and respect and excitement by a Republican audience anywhere. But Donald Trump brought him on the stage at a MAGA rally in Richmond, Kentucky, on Saturday thanking the Turtle for standing firm on Kavanaugh. And listen to the reaction.

Trump says Mitch McConnell "Kentucky tough"

THE PRESIDENT: Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. Come up here!

CROWD: (loud cheers)

RUSH: George Will is watching this and just unable to control himself. Wait a minute. Keep… Stick with it here, folks. The Turtle is gonna speak here in a minute.

MCCONNELL: Thank you, Kentucky. Aren’t we proud of President Trump?

CROWD: (cheers)

RUSH: Right on! How long do you think it’s been since Mitch McConnell got that kind of a reception at a political event? I don’t think he’s gotten a reception like that even on an election night victory party that he’s had. And I’m gonna — I’m gonna — I’m gonna go out on a limb and say, you know, Mitch might have liked that. Everybody likes that, especially people that are unaccustomed to it. And everybody in the world knows that it was the Trumpster that made approximate happen.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By the way, at that rally on Saturday night, Kentucky, Trump did remind McConnell that that ovation was because of Trump. But that’s okay. Mitch still got it. It was legitimate and I’m sure he appreciated it. (interruption) No, no, no, Trump should not have called her “Horseface” in the 60 Minutes interview. No, no, no, no. Don’t — just take what you get and be thankful for it. Okay? Don’t ask for more.

I think the remaining NeverTrumpers are going to get VERY lonely.

Come on board Mitch. No reason to be scared anymore.

You have a leader at the helm.

Trump is a winner. Period. Winning is infectious. People want to be with a winner. A lot of “undecideds” will vote Republican in November because they want to be on the winning team.

That trip to the podium might just have pushed McConnell a little further than he ever thought. Seeing and hearing the passion, hope and pride those people have for the President and the country. It’s not too late for McConnell to become a major part in it, if he chooses to. He has about a year left, to ram the America First agenda down the throat of every Democrat in Congress. Then ride the wave into President Trump’s second term and then hand it all off to the next guy and know that you helped make it happen.

OR

Get run over by the Trump Steamroller and go away in shame, like Flake and Ryan will.

Amen to that. Ryan proved to be a loser. But, whatever his limitations, Yertle learned that tickets to ride the Trump train are always available. Glad to have him on board.

Trump's influence turned the sleeping turtle into a snapping turtle.

I wonder if Mitch knows what his most common nicknames are?
There are at least two; The Turtle and Cocaine Mitch.

Cocaine Mitch was given to him by a politician Don Blankenship.
90 pounds ($7 Million Dollars) of cocaine had been discovered aboard a vessel owned by Foremost Group; founded and owned by Mitch McConnell’s father-in-law James Chao.
Blankenship said Mitch had connections to his “China Family”.
The remarks did not help Blankenship during the Primaries.

President Trump is slowly but surely SEDUCING his former “anti’s” into the #MAGA column.

Every time I think I know how smart he is, I find out I underestimated our President.

People are just People.

Mitch sees a leader that won’t back down to anything.

It’s nice to see these times.

The bodies of 29 coal miners, a Federal conviction and a year in Club Fed prolly had a bit more to do with his primary defeat, but what would I, a dumb West Virginian know about it.

Case in point. Lindsay 'the limp-wrister ball-gargling' Graham wants more democrat voters in the country...because 50 million plus is not enough. He says this sh!t as waves of illegals are trying to come to the United States.

The only thing that has changed is the gullibility of the IDIOTs amongst us who believe their crap
