A Trump Schtick Explainer for "Experts" (Rush nails it)
rushlimbaugh.com ^ | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 03/09/2016 12:36:44 PM PST by RoosterRedux

How they losing this? "Trump's opponents are getting beaten by a man who uses election-night press conferences to peddle his brand of steaks and bottled water."

That's not what he did last night. That's what you saw. But that's not what he did. How do these people continue to miss this? You know, you have to understand, sometimes this stuff gets frustrating. I've given these people the answers to every question they've had for the last five months. They don't listen here, and they don't go to my website and read what I've said. They spend their time at Media Matters reading these out of context so-called excerpts of what I've said or they don't even do that, they get into their heads that I'm one thing or another and just assume things.

*snip*

Who in the world is gonna believe that Trump vinegar is in any way comparable to what they produce in Bordeaux? But he says it and people eat it up. The thing that people don't get, you have these people like at Politico or anywhere, the Washington establishment party officials, both Democrats and Republicans and they watch this and they wring their hands, and they say, "Oh, my God, oh, this is so embarrassing, oh, this is so bad, oh, oh, this is so offensive." They do not understand that Trump knows he's putting everybody on and the trick is that he knows his audience knows.

I'll give you an example of this. Donald Trump knows that his wine is not the best stuff in the world, but his schtick is that everything he does is the best in the world. He's got the best friends. He's got the best clubs. He's got the best golf course. He's got the best this, and everybody says so. And you laugh about it, you laugh at it. He's not the kind of braggart that offends people. He's a braggart that endears himself to people. It's a personality thing.

Nonsense.
They ‘get it’. They are trying to rewrite it to fit within the framework of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

Freeze the target and attack.

I used to think that of Rush, but for the past 3 months, I have decided that Rush is a ‘globalist’ he has to be to keep his show on the air for the millions of dollars he is making...

Anything he says, which I don't listen to anymore, and I quit buying his children history books, I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth...

He is the darkest, lost soul of the universe along with Levin, and Hannity....all ‘globalists’ because if they stand up to the ‘establishment’ they wouldn't be where they are...

It's so plain to see once you open your eyes...

Nice to see that Rush is spending time dissecting the idiocy of the liberals at Salon (which is what he’s quoting here). Classic Rush we all know and love!

I hope all those Cruz supporters take note. It’ll save a ton of bandwidth in idiotic threads.

Rush over analysis again...Trump is winning because we’re sick and tired of politicians making promises and doing nothing but caving into Obama for 8 years...and we aren’t going to take it anymore. Trump is merely the vehicle for our frustrations.

Those morons out there? Shucks, I could take chicken fertilizer and sell it to them as caviar. I could make them eat dog food and think it was steak. Sure, I got 'em like this... You know what the public's like? A cage of Guinea Pigs. Good Night you stupid idiots. Good Night, you miserable slobs. They're a lot of trained seals.

For one thing, Rush said that the establishment will grudgingly side with Cruz, even though they consider Cruz intransigent... But - now get this - the establishment will not side with Trump even though they consider Trump flexible.

The aforementioned makes any sense at all. Fact is, it makes as much sense as saying that the DC post office, remodeled into a hotel, will not be the best... or, that Trump's golf courses are not the best... or, his New York buildings (and the skating rink) are not the best.

Rush, ole buddy... pal... chum... you've become a hack.

Rush is being sneaky in the way he attacks Trump which is by constantly elevating Cruz and Rubio whom he declares are true Reagan Republicans/conservatives.

Me, when I look back at the Reagan I love I see more Donald Trump than either of those two!

Establishment! Tear down those walls so the voice of the People can be heard and acted upon!

In the cold war not too many shots were taken but in this war they have tried to Nuke Trump DAILY and like Reagan before him he takes the hits and just keeps on talking to We the People:-)

So Trump is the Baghdad Bob of political candidates?

...Rush has a serious man crush for Cruz, who can do no wrong. Today was no exception as he brushed off the Neil Bush connection to Cruz. His long soliloquy trying to rationalize why Southern evangelicals have not stepped up for Cruz was a new low for the sinking talker.

Lonesome Rhodes, A Face In The Crowd

Ole Ted 'boots n belly' Cruz is Lonesome Rhodes with the small flock he emotionally fleeces.

And Rush helps him along. After all, how dumb do you have to be to convince folks you have a chance getting elected President when you can't get 50% in your home state or even 20% in Florida and Michigan.

Even Rush had to admit that the angry Sanders vote would no doubt go to Trump in the general and give Trump Michigan. Trump is a gold plated guarantee and the party will not take it.

It’s the Uni-Party and its army of bureaucrats and media handmaidens that treat the public like “a cage of Guinea Pigs.” Not Donald Trump.

Oh and P.S.

Limbaugh hasn’t “nailed” anything in years.

I had to turn Rush off today after about 20 minutes of rather disjointed babble that supposedly passed for political analysis.

For those who did listen, did Rush ever even mention the fact that Cruz has brought over Neil Bush and all of Jeb’s financial team to work on the Cruz campaign??? I’m guessing not ...but I could be wrong.

His brand? There are no Trump steaks, that venture failed, and those steaks came from another company, the water was generic water with labels slapped on them, Trump magazine folded long ago, Trump Vodka also is no longer in business, and he doesn’t own and is not affiliated with the winery. If these are what he touts as successful, I’d hate to see what he calls failures.
