Because he is completely unafraid of PC and its ridiculous censorship and intelligence-insulting reality inversions, he’s actually more of a “real person” than any of the other ruling-class-elite politicians in Washington.

They can’t deal with that. That does not compute.

I have been thinking about this GOP senate campaign memo, and I think Rush is a little off here. They DO understand Trump, except that either a) they do not want to embrace his positions (the wall/no amnesty, tough on ISIS, not bowing to the politically correct gods), or b) their record is such that even if they did try to "copy Trump," their opponents will crush them with their records.

Here are two examples: Rob Portman and Kelly Ayotte. Neither supported Cruz's shutdown; both supported TPP; both supported Corker; they have been in McConnell's pocket since they got there.

Someone tell me how Portman or Ayotte could possibly make anyone believe now that they are serious on Iran or Refugees or anything else.
