Limbaugh: Trump Built the ‘Coalition’ the GOP Claims to Want —
Breitbart ^ | February 10,2016 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 02/10/2016 5:38:19 PM PST by Hojczyk

"Trump won, the exit polls were right," Limbaugh continued.

"Trump won men. He won women.

He won every age group.

He won every ideology. Liberal, conservative, moderate, Libertarian.

Every group Trump won a majority of voters. He won among people who had gone to college and people who hadn't. He won among people who only had a high school education; he won among people who did not have a high school education.

He won every single age bracket. He won those groups by huge margins. He won men 3-to-1 over second place finisher. Women he won 2-to-1. Voters under 30 he won 2-to-1. Nearly 40 percent of those who had not attended college voted Trump. A third of those who had attended college voted Trump. This is what the Republican Party's been telling us they need to win. I've had 'em come to my office. I've told you. I've had Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)94% here, Mitt Romney's here.

One thing they've all said in common is that Republican Party can't win with Republican votes alone anymore. We have to branch out, we have to reach out. This is what they were telling me to prepare me for some of the campaign tactics that I was gonna see. That they were gonna have to reach out and immigration was one of the ways of reaching out, supporting amnesty."

But instead of praising Trump for this accomplishment, Limbaugh argues the GOP is criticizing Trump instead.

"Well, all along Trump has built that coalition the Republican Party claims to want and they're out there badgering it and bashing it," he added. "It's exactly what they claim to want.

They could have had it. The Republican Party could have had the Trump coalition. They could have had it at health care.

You’re the worst kind of Conservative. The kind that would happily watch the country go down in flames rather than vote against your own rigid pure standards.

America’s is suffering but hey, you can claim the high moral ground, which helps no one but you.

That attitude is as much to blame for the mess we are in as anything.

Because of Trump, I ‘ditched and switched’ from a registered Libertarian to a Republican.

G.W., McCain, Romney, could not get me to do that. If it were Jeb!, or any sitting politician, I would not have changed my affiliation.

More and more I do not see Trump as any better than Bernie. Both are big government executive power grabbing control freaks.

I will answer that with answers coming for Trump supporters.
Read it.

This is not trying to be combative, just showing that this is what is being used as discussion.

Thanks.

This will not win people to Mr. Trump.

I have seen a lot of this(on both sides) and it turns a lot of people off.

Unsupported accusations is not a great position to use as an argument.

Would like to see a better articulate posts! (Again on both sides.)

I posted a month ago here on FR that after Romney lost the GOP spent a ton of money creating a document about what went wrong.

Conclusion: Need to attract exactly the voting coalition TRUMP is building.

Could you fart your Cruz gas on a non pro Trump thread. We need clean air. Might as well have a smelly bunch of pot, body odor and patchouli stinking hippies on here.

I have news for you, chief ... The only “blowhards” are you and your cabal of paid GOPe operatives, who troll FR when it’s convenient.

It is confirmed that 12-14 of your buddies disappear for 5 years, and then pop up like groundhogs at every election cycle ... Oh, but you’re all “conservatives.”

Tell me, Mr. CONservative, what private sector career has Ted ever succeeded in, besides that of a government-paid lawyer? The Congress is full of lawyers and their Wall Street cronies.

Goldman Sachs ring a bell? The revolving door between the federal government and GS is no secret. Goldman Sachs is THE most corrupt, most leveraged financial institution in the world (549:1 as of 12-31-2013) via derivatives exposure and credit default swaps. GS has its filthy hands into the sovereign debt of multiple foreign governments (credit default swaps). Heidi Cruz is an Operations Manager in GS’s Houston office ... And she is married to Ted Cruz, a sitting U.S. senator, having direct influence on the outcome of banking and financial legislation - but no conflict of interest there, right, Mr. “CONservative?

Oh, and what else is Senator Cruz connected into via Heidi? Well, she is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations ... She sat on GWB’s National Security Advisory Board ... AND Heidi Cruz is a sponsor and pusher of the North American Union. But that’s all quite in line CONservatism, eh? Heidi and Ted would never to push s into accepting the Amero,” nor even dream of remaking the United States into another European Union!

The fact is that Goldman Sachs IS the federal government - and you and your slick fellow establishment operatives are willing to seat a GS sleeper into the highest office of the land - because he is a “conservative.”

Nope, because Rush was later on praising the Canada born Cruz with a Cuban citizen father. I know for sure there are thousands of people sired by American Servicemen in Vietnam, who must all be NBC’s if they spout conservatism.

I had no idea conservatives like Rush practice convenient trampling of the US Constitution.
