Limbaugh: Romney's Attack On Trump "Is Nothing New," "They Tried To Deny Reagan"
realclearpolitics.com ^ | March 6, 2016

National Radio Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh joins Chris Wallace for an exclusive interview discussing his take on the feud between Donald Trump and Mitt Romney, and Trump's prospects in the election going forward.

"His dad did much the same thing against Barry Goldwater with a cabal of Republicans, establishment guys, back in 1964," Limbaugh said about Romney. "This is not new. The establishment not wanting outsiders, not wanting conservatives is not new... They were this way with Ronald Reagan before Reagan was elected. They tried to deny Reagan in '76 and they tried to deny Reagan in 1980. They're not conservative."

"I think with the case of Trump, there’s a much bigger upside than downside,” Limbaugh concluded. "A lot of people disagree with me on this but the people who want somebody not of Washington, it's serious this time. It's real."

Isn’t this article about something Trump and Reagan have in common? That’s a comparison.

I hope some folks will compare even more, the differences are startling.

That’s why God will step away from our lives when we kick Him out.

John 10:27-29
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

I disagree on both counts!!!
RUSH has been right all along and although I’ve disagreed some with The National REview it will stay up there also.

Most people listen to Rush to confirm what they already believe, not to learn what to believe.

I am sure he could care less but I think I am not the only one who has stopped listening to Rush.

Are you suggesting Rush is anti-Trump?

We need to get a “Clue” on how to win in the modern political landscape and the drastic change to our electorate. No way 73 year old Sanders should be attracting so many people.

And class-less Trump should be much less attractive as well.

If you’re going to become part of a value-less culture in order to win, you’ve won nothing.

If you cannot win the major battles in the arena of governing, then you can change the electorate through creating enormous upward mobility that the majority can feel. It is the only way to bypass the 80 percent if liberal professors indoctrinating through the perceived need of upper education. What has the 2010 and 2012 conservative winners done to change the course of America. Not much...too few of them...sometimes you have to become the enemy to beat the enemy in numbers that make a difference in the lives of 350 million people.

The country also had different needs back then than now.

Now the country does indeed need Trump “to make America great again” And this is not just a slogan

No because he is up Cruz behind and anything that damages Trump he sees as helping .cruz. That is until Cruz is in the lead and the GOPe tear him down. Cruz in a way is actually protected by Trump.

Rush pulls no punches. If he thinks Trump deserves criticism, he will criticize him.

Stopped listening a few weeks ago when Rush tried to tell his audience that Rubio was the closet thing to a Reagan conservative running. TUNED in the day when Rush admitted to attending the big secret amnesty meeting- not for any other reason that he was outed. Rush won’t miss my listenership. Doubt I will miss Rush much.
