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.

Thanks for the links.

My sports bet has a notional value of $2 billion. Should I be worried?

This is nothing new. Reagan won two landslides and appealed to a wide range of people, yet the GOP spent years purging Reaganism out of the party once he left office.

Yup. When they got nothing else - out comes the canard about being anti-Semitic if you say anything about anyone who happens to have a Jewish surname ... So, I guess if I speak out against Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, then I musty be anti-Catholic - even though I am a traditional Catholic!

Conversely, I have a real problem with those in my fold who always use the asinine canard “It’s because of the Jooooooos” That crap pisses me off to no end.

here, see if you can follow along for 2.5 hours (8 parts) ... And then perhaps you will be able to answer your own question. This is the real world - not some idiotic game of imaginary bets:

Yes, in the real world, your link showed their derivatives were in the money by $49 billion.

If you knew what notional meant, and what their actual value at risk was, you might stop making silly claims.

Why would I need to listen to Ann for 8 hours to point out your confusion?

The gop-e wants a broad coalition. They just want them willing to support a crap sandwich of policies totally opposed to the coalition's own best interests.

“Why would I need to listen to Ann for 8 hours to point out your confusion?”

To discover why you are wrong - and whistling in the dark.

Oh, BTW, do negative interest rates bother you at all?

Moreover - READ THIS, ALL OF IT!

Then you’ll understand “the connections” that exist between the proposed negative interest rates, the resultant cashless economy, AND the derivatives market / credit default swap racket:

You claim to be conservatives but many of you just rolled over for Romney when the time came. “Conservativism” went out the window in the end and those who stood on principle and refused to vote for Mittens were bashed and nearly driven off FR.

Hypocrites.

Exactly. I left the GOP over Romney, but will switch back over to vote for Trump. Wouldn’t do it for any of the other candidates.

Rush is pro-Rush, nothing else. That’s ok, he’s made millions upon millions doing it and in that way he ‘gets’ Trump.

I’m ok either way: Trump/Cruz Cruz/Trump

But the fact of the matter is we HAVE to go far, far, far, far, far right because the dims, over the last almost 8 years have gone far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, uber incredibly, ginormously left into north korea statist territory left.

The farther left the western world goes, the more it proves to the Islamo fascists that the west is the “Great Satan” â„¢ Which in turns spikes terrorism, which in turn inspires the left to continue left and placate the Islamo fascists.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

It was a shame when Ann went around the bend. How does her 8 hours of video help your confusion about Goldman and derivatives?

Oh, BTW, do negative interest rates bother you at all?

Should they? Why?

I know enough about the global derivatives situation, in real numbers as a function of dollars and man hours.

You don't know squat about derivatives which is clearly evident from your ridiculous rant. It's the ones who know the least that rant the most when it comes to CDS, or any other forms of derivatives....or about banks in general.

It's the same with your fixation on GS. They do nothing different than any other huge bank but you single them out for some unknown reason. The Donald and GS do business on a regular basis. Does that disqualify him from contention? Like I said, there must be something else about this company you don't like.

People fear things they don't understand. Please stop pretending you understand banking or ignoring that Trump and GS are business partners. No other candidate is in bed with Wall Street as deeply as Donald Trump. Don't you think you should at least pretend to be consistent?

I also understand the fraud of derivatives and how it is going to crush the monetary system

Right. Then please explain to us how it will crush the monetary system when it isn't a zero sum game. One side wins and another side loses. No wealth is lost. If I bet $20.00 on Carolina in the Super Bowl and have to give that $20.00 to another person, how will that have any impact on the monetary system?

You guys should try and find something legitimate to rant on Cruz about. Your crazy conspiracy theories may be entertaining, but they are bat s*** crazy.

I did NOT support Romney. He was Governor when I lived in MA. He was a disaster. I knew enough about him and his policies to know he was no conservative by any stretch. His forcing of sodomite “marriage” on the state, when neither its supreme court nor the state legislature required such was the pivotal moment when all doubt was removed about Romney being anything but a blue-blood liberal butt hole.
