Limbaugh: Trump Doing A ‘Great Service’
foxnews.com ^

Posted on 11/22/2015 4:24:15 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Rush Limbaugh stood up for the "great service" Donald Trump is doing by taking on the media.

"Trump is, I think, doing a great service," Limbaugh said on "Fox News Sunday." "He is showing that you do not have to fear attacks from media." "He's showing you do not have to fear being politically correct or violating political correctness," Limbaugh added.

The radio host also weighed in on other 2016 candidates. He said Ben Carson is "one of the most decent human beings in the country," but not equipped to be president "at this stage."

No. I wasn’t stating my opinion. I like Trump/Cruz.

view the video’s. They are self-explanatory. I believe the candidate recorded on a video more than posters.

If you view the video, you will not hear the words ^deport ALL illegals^. Instead Cruz is seeking a path to give illegals a legal status but not citizenship. Giving legal path to stay in country does NOT equal ^deport ALL illegals^ in my book.

Oh, yeah. I know what his plan is. It’s not what you want him to say. It’s more nuanced, more practical and more do-able, but not as satisfying as hearing someone say...send them all away.

What do you find ambiguous about fully enforcing deportation laws?

I'll tell you how you are making my point. That is not what Cruz said, it is what you inferred that he said. I and others can infer it differently. See, that is what we call weasel works. Politicians use them so they can never have to be nailed down to a specific position.

Re: Unfortunately, there are a large number of members here who don’t support that philosophy and thus have ignorantly joined ranks with the DNC and the MSM in destroying any of our candidates they personally are opposed to............

Exactly. The search and destroy mentality of far too many conservatives aligns with the Left far too often. After their brutal attacks on all candidates but their own, they leave those candidates for dead. Then when a battered Republican candidate manages to survive to the end, these conservatives refuse to vote for that person because the candidate has flaws. (In other words, the candidate does not agree with them 100% of the time). No doubt they will have flaws because throughout our nation’s history, Jesus has never once shown up to run on the Republican ticket. And if He did, many would do the same to Him that they do to the other candidates. But meanwhile, the candidates on the Left participate far less in the actual political battle. They have sustained minimal attacks in their race. The MSM has supported them. Whoever wins at the end will be supported at polls with their votes by nearly all Democrats. Their candidate does not have to be “perfect”. It is a winning strategy. For the Democrats.

Okay fine. Here's the quote...

" Deportations and returns have to be taken seriously. Ted Cruz has promised to rededicate the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to "fully enforcing the law."

What do you infer?

In Trump's written plan, you will not see the words "deport all illegals".

I'll tell you what it does not say, "If you are in this country illegally, you will be deported". No one can accuse Cruz of deporting woman and children based in that statement. Hence, weasel words.

How many video’s should I list where Trump says “all illegals must go”? Is that clear English or is that confusing to you?

I said, that it doesn't appear in Trump's "written plan". Is that clear English or does that confuse you?

Polls? This time 4 years ago Gingrich was leading the polls, and we know how that ended. I guess when the best thing Rush can say about your candidate is that he is a tool you'll grasp at anything.

Odd that Fox News -- at least in the story linked -- put Cruz at the very bottom of the story in a brief mention, even though Cruz was the guy who got the highest conservative praise from America's best-known conservative spokesman, Rush.

The MSM hates Cruz more than it hates Trump; truth be told, the MSM loves Trump because he is himself a media-made celebrity. If the MSM really hated Trump as much as his supporters claim, it would ignore him and refuse to take him seriously, as ES pointed out in another post. His poll numbers are assisted by his name recognition and favoring MSM coverage such as illustrated in this very story.

The MSM treats him like the pop culture celebrity he is, reports breathlessly his every "controversial" word, and contributes to his extreme name recognition already established 10 years prior thanks to Trump's well-executed self-promotion in media campaigns and a national realty TV show, Trump holds a lead in the polls. He ALREADY ESTABLISHED a carefully cultivated brand image of "brilliant fix-anything billionaire genius" before he ran for president. OF COURSE his poll numbers are high. He's a bombastic showman and an entertainer who tells people what they want to hear and manages to come across as politically incorrect as he does it.

As for an actual track record, he has ZIP except as a billionaire who arguably is not nearly as brilliant as his media-created brand image says he is.
