Rush made this point repeatedly. That President Trumps love of America dominates his positions but, he is not an ideologue and as an outsider when he got to DC didn’t quite grasp the hatred that The Swamp Dwellers had for the fact that he went down that escalator and totally disrupted politics as usual in our country.
Rush said in his talks with President Trump that the president was not shocked at the Dems reaction. President Trump was shocked at the Republican’s total lack of support (with some exceptions) for his winning the presidency.
He expected when he won the primaries and especially after he won the presidency that the Republicans would be 4 square with him.
He was totally unfamiliar with the term RINO. He is very very familiar with those bastards now.
Let the record show Trump was elected by a slim margin after he in shocking fashion destroyed both the GOP and Democrat parties. He faced a candidate in the General that the independents hated.....in Hillary Clinton.
His transition team was headed up by Chris Christie, until he was summarily dismissed, and his Chief of Staff was Reince Prebus.
You might say he hit the ground stumbling. His pick of Sessions doomed him to 4 years of playing defense.
Had he picked the right AG...things could have been dramatically different.
