Is Donald Dumbing It Down for the Trumpsters?
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | Feb 29, 2016 | Rush Limbaugh/Caller

Posted on 03/01/2016 10:17:23 AM PST by JSDude1

RUSH: Here's Sally in Columbus. She's been waiting awhile. I appreciate that. And how are you?

CALLER: Fine. How are you, Rush?

RUSH: Very well. Thank you very much.

CALLER: Thanks for taking my call. Just as a... You know, you have always led us conservatives through some pretty dark times. And there were few places to turn. You never let us down. You always gave us perspective and truth. So I just kind of wanted to say that. But to get to my point, you know, last week you were discussing Trump and the way he talked about "we have to get rid of the lines around the state" during the debate. Well, I have a different take on that. Not only did he say it that way -- and you suggested it was because of his advisors that were kind of, you know, doing a tutorial for him for interstate insurance commerce.

And then also, the thing that bothers me is that when he comments regarding his and the Democrats touchback program -- which is theoretically what it is when he said we're going to do: Send them back and let the good ones back in -- you know, Trump isn't this inarticulate. I think he does it to dumb down his speech. I think he does it to mislead and not have to give explanations. And it keeps his comments kind of on the remedial side. And that's how I look at this. I know it's different from what you think, but it's how I feel. I think he's talking to a base that he doesn't have a lot of confidence in.

Trump supports foreigners with the clothes he’s making in China, too.

His name is spammer. Don’t get him started.

Comrade McGruff, founder of the "FR Putinistas 4 Trump" movement. It's no wonder you want to try to discredit my stuff as 'spam'. You are about the lowest piece of ___ on the site. It couldn't be more obvious what you and the other Putinistas are doing here, yet you and most of them are allowed to remain here, for years.

Nice GIFs but they’re not going to persuade or dissuade anyone.

Thanks for calling so many of your fellow Freepers braindead zombies. We truly appreciate it.

I say that only because you're allowing this obvious phony to manipulate you into supporting him.

[Here is the complete list of epithets to date: Trumpys Trumpholes Trumpaloompa Trumpsters Trumpanzees Trumpenistas Trumpers Trumptards Trump Cult Trump Diehards The Trumpkin Proletariat Trumpites Trumpsters Trumpkins Trumpettes]

First of all, half those aren’t epithets, any more than Reagettes, Reaganers, Reagan Diehards, Reaganites, etc. That just makes you look thin skinned.

And a hypocrite. Trump himself patented namecalling as a political devise -> ugly, sleazy, slimy, biggest liar ever, cheater, pussy, low energy, shlonged, bimbo, etc. etc.

So, Trump has opened the doors for anyone opposing him to use the same gutter tactics. You ought to be applauding, Trump sowed the seeds and now gets to reap the harvest of gutter talk. Too bad, so sad.

Was he a sitting senator when he did that? Cruz supported a law that permanently discriminates against Americans.

I find it hilarious that you have to bring Putin into any thread you comment on. I think here's some kind of subliminal behavior there.

He’s afraid of Trump just like the rest of the GoPe cause it will cost him cash.

Why would any serious conservative want Trump for president, as opposed to a guy like Cruz? Have you drank that much of his kool-aid?

Continuing to spout this distortion doesn't speak well of you.

I never have before, and I did just check the record. So that doesn't speak well of you.

Cruz has been a bit busy fighting for Conservative causes his entire life to take time out to run a business...

He is 45, and yet still has:

Graduated cum laude from Princeton University in 1992
Graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1995
1992 U.S. National Debate Champion representing Princeton
1995 World Debating Championship semi-finalist representing Harvard
Served a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist
Served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008, the longest tenure in Texas history
Authored over 80 SCOTUS briefs
Presented over 40 oral arguments before The Court
In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms
Presented oral arguments before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
Defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds,
Defended the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools
Defended the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States
Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission
Domestic Policy Advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign
Appointed vice-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee

What did Trump do in his 70 years? Needed 100 million from daddy to get started... failed at Trump Airlines... failed at Trump Vodka... four bankruptcies... Three marriages... failed at Trump Mortgage Co... failed at Trump Casinos ("Other than the fact that it has my name on it — which I'm not thrilled about — I have nothing to do with the company," despite owning 28 pct of the stock).

And a President does not need to make a payroll. Budgets are a shared responsibility with Congress, and the funds are rarely in doubt.

Trump funded Senators who kill babies and who support the alleged position you say you oppose. Trump’s been a conservative less time than Bruce Jenner has been a woman.

A Trump Supporter will tell you one of 3 things when presented with Trump Facts:

I Don't Care!

It Doesn't Matter!

Just Good Business !
