Limbaugh makes urgent plea to outsiders like Trump
WND ^ | 04/12/2016 | Joe Kovacs

Posted on 04/13/2016 6:28:46 AM PDT by detective

In the wake of national outrage over perceived rigging in the presidential primary process, talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh is urging political outsiders such as Donald Trump to learn the rules of the game if they wish to achieve success.

On his broadcast Tuesday, Limbaugh reminded listeners that both the Republican and Democratic Parties are private organizations, and are akin to businesses who don’t want an outsider coming in and taking over the show.

“The first order of business of any business is to stay open. The second order of business is to make sure the people who run it continue to run it. To stop coup d’etats, so to speak,” Limbaugh said.

What amazes me is that there are people here who support this unethical, lying, two faced bastard.

Rush sold out. It happened so slowly he doesn’t recognize it, but he did. He once would have been with those who have been shouting that the “rules” and the people who forced them on us are the reason for the mess we’re in. Now he says that the clever thing to do is to learn them and use them. And he’s wrong about that. They need to be changed, and they will never be changed from within, because the people who learn them and use them become their beneficiaries, and the rest of us, their victims.

‘Cruz keeps losing and losing.’

More importantly, the general election is NOT a straw poll. It’s not delegates.

The general election is a campaign trail, and that is where Trump runs rings around Cruz. That is also should be the best measure of success in a sane primary process.

Glad I quit listening to Rush Limbaugh. Ugh. Not bothering until he quits pushing for Cruz.

Just this one sentence:

‘Rush Limbaugh is urging political outsiders such as Donald Trump to learn the rules of the game if they wish to achieve success.’

Disgusting.

He wants Trump to go back to school and let the campaign trail loser take over.

It’s the campaign trail that matters most to the people, to the voter, to the base.

Everything else is process-tripe.

Good grief, Rush just quoted Alan Dershowitz praising Ted Cruz to the hilt, and agreed with every word of it - somehow imagining that the word of a liberal lawyer somehow “proves” that Ted Cruz is the stand-up, honest, forthright, amazingly brilliant guy he pretends to be. Sheesh.

Isn’t it Rush who’s said, for DECADES that our enemies will always tell us who they fear? Yet NOW he laps up this pro-Cruz crap from one of our enemies and ignores everything he’s ever told us simply because it’s what he wants to hear.

On the other hand, he dismisses Trump’s appearances as “schtick,” before returning to heap still more praise on Cruz. Pathetic.

R/L MUST know (or will know soon) he screwed-up bigtime.......so many are turning him off.

R/L hitching his wagon to a creep like Cruz means trouble.

The next generation isn’t listening to radio. Rush knows this. The future, no matter what the politics, isn’t going to talked about on radio.

And he has been on for a long time. 30+ years! I imagine he will retire sooner or later.

‘Good grief, Rush just quoted Alan Dershowitz praising Ted Cruz ... and agreed with every word ...’

But when it suits Rush, ignore original intent if it’s said by Professor Lawrence Tribe.

By some definitions Winston Churchill was eligible. [By Cruz too apparently.]

Can you believe that????

Churchill was a die-hard Brit nationalist. He sent agents to the US to blackmail pacifist politicians. Dirty tricksters willing to assassinate US citizens. Good thing he was that determined, but it is exactly the kind of person natural born status was designed to prevent.

The primary aim of natural born status was to prevent men such as Churchill from becoming president, and it was never redefined by a single constitutional amendment.

So come this Convention, McStain and Mc-Conman [already on record] can quote Professor Tribe and pull the rug right from under Cruz over eligibility if they need to.

Trump’s 15% corporate tax undercuts China’s 25%. Sounds conservative to me too.

But Rush doesn’t like someone who is too conservative either. Such as Alan Keyes. He ruthlessly ridiculed Keyes supporters.

Colorado Republicans Passed Around “Resolution to Deny Trump Delegates” Back on March 22
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3420335/posts

‘... and The Colorado Republican Party asks its delegates to national convention to pledge on their honor to do everything in their power to help secure the presidential nomination for someone other than Donald Trump.’

[Note the last words — ‘other than Trump’. Only exibit needed to prove that Cruz is just their cats’ paw.]

[Cruz blows it once again. This elitism is an eye-opener, and what is he doing to distance himself from it?]

-- Only after Reagan won did the Republican establishment pretend to like Reagan. --

"Pretend" is exactly right. The "eastern establishment", "Rockefeller Republicans" have been in charge for at least 65 years, and they DETEST nationalistic tendencies.

I normally defend Rush, but not now.

There is only one possible front runner capable of uniting us.

Since Rush is part of the problem, his career is expendable so far as I'm concerned. We drank salt water for Rush when he was in legal trouble. He might find that changing soon if this keeps up.

It is the GOPe that is manipulating the rules, not Trump. They are in charge, or think they are - how can Trump control the rules or the system when he has no say in it?

Of course Trump and his voters want rules; BUT they need to be fair and based on votes.

The establishment deserves to be tossed out.

The GOPe has no system other than to make it up as they go along in order to rig the system against the voters.

“It is the GOPe that is manipulating the rules, not Trump.”

Nonsense. Trump isn’t even aware of the rules, ignores them, and then whines when they dont work in his favor.

The “establishment” needs to go. The only way to do it without burning down the house is to replace the people running it, not the organization itself.

Destroy the organization and we’ll end up with a one world govt and dictatorship for sure.
