RUSH LIMBAUGH: TRUMP’S ATTACK ON CRUZ RAISES RED FLAGS – [AUDIO]
TheRightScoop ^ | 12/14/15 | TheRightscoop

Posted on 12/14/2015 11:11:04 AM PST by gwgn02

Rush Limbaugh said today on his radio show that Donald Trump’s attack on Ted Cruz over the weekend, calling him a ‘maniac’ given the way he’s dealt with McConnell and others in the Senate, is not an attack a genuine conservative would make and it has raised a red flag for him: While I would certainly vote for Trump if he were the nominee, I’ve never thought he was a genuine conservative. But I do think he’s tried in some ways to bridge his positions with conservatism and I think he generally leans in that direction.

At the end of the day though, if he becomes president, I expect a lot of compromise with Congress, especially on his more conservative positions — and I know that going into the voting booth. If you expect something different you might be in for a big surprise.

This is also why I support Ted Cruz. I do expect him to compromise with Congress as well, as he has said as much, but I don’t believe he will go so far as to compromise his principles.

He did explain. I agree with you. And he talked of it being modular.

He thinks they can get it up in a fairly reasonable time.

He’s not talking about Cruz’s chain link fence either. He wants it 60 feet tall.

He thinks it will be called the Trump Wall, and he wants it to represent him well.

Gotta love it.

That’s precisely the point. Evangelicals and conservative Christians pray. A lot. Media folks, secular liberals, and a lot of trump supporters don’t pray much. Or at all.

Have you even read any of his policies/position papers. Immigration for instance starts with enforce the law. You show off your ignorance with your witty insults.

I’m not muddying the waters. I didn’t make any assertions about the conservative base being for or against Trump.

Trump mania is a movement and not just among conservatives. Trump has support from unions, minorities, women, and millenials, all of whom are atypical GOP voters.

The KKK has nothing to do with this discussion. It’s primary season at FR, put on your big girl panties, darlin’. You shouldn’t make assumptions about where I stand regarding Trump or Cruz.

Charts, graphs, polls, etc. are skewed by the group defining the data. I’m a DBA. I know how to present data in a way that is favorable to some predefined conclusion that those requesting the data prefer.

As a conservative, you know that there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. They do it. We do it.

When I addressed who was supporting Trump, in what context did I address it?

Are you capable of being honest?

I did it in the context of the vote showing a 41 to 16% lead by Trump. What data did I provide to make a larger claim? None, because I wasn’t making a larger claim.

Of course, outside that group he is going across all demographic lines, but that was not what I was addressing.

Where did the Conservatives break out in that poll?

Overwhelmingly Trump.

Anything he gets in excess of that, is pure gravy.

Let me add to that, since I did mention Liberals.

We are getting rank and file Liberals, but are we getting the GOPe, the RNC, the MSM talking heads, the MSM pundits, the MSM print media, the Blog spots...? No

So large Liberal groups are not flocking to Trump.

Some thoughtful people are crossing over, but we are not taking all Liberals by any means.

So Trump is not appealing to “Liberals”. He is appealing to folks who may not have been as “Liberal” in their thinking as they may have thought they were.

If we get 5% more penetration in Democrat or Independent circles, and an extrs 20% of Blacks and Hispanics, we’re talking a very big majority.

And I didn’t dispute any of that. I disputed only your claim that liberals aren’t supporting Trump. Because that claim is incorrect. I know quite a few libtards who support Trump. I know just as many conservatives who support him, but that wasn’t the point.

I look at the demographics of who is supporting each candidate.

Here on the forum the claim is often made that only Liberals are supporting Trump, no Conservatives.

In that context I addressed the figures in that poll from self-proclaimed Conservatives.

I don’t think most folks who read that post thought I was addressing anything more than the Conservatives taking that poll.

If you want to think so, go ahead.

Trump’s biggest support groups are the ones that are dead center of what this forum is supposed to stand for, Conservatives and like-minded Tea Party members.


Excellent. Thanks ;-)

I don’t think that. I read your post. As I am wont to do, because I am a pedant, I responded to one specific statement with which I disagreed.

And if you’re satisfied you corrected a big error, so be it.

You didn’t.

and a lot of trump supporters don’t pray much. Or at all.


LOL!!

Pull facts out of your, er, apron much? You have no idea of knowing that.

Same could be said for any of the other candidates, as well.

Um, no. It was pedantic, which I implied. There is no need for us to get sideways over it.

And that tells you who prays and who doesn’t?
