RUSH: Nathan, Tampa, Florida. Hey, Nathan, great to have you on the program.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Good to talk to you. Thanks for taking my call.
RUSH: You bet.
CALLER: I heard you just say something about the Republicans not having a chance to -- or not being careful about what they say, so they don't have to walk it back later. And I kind of like what Trump's doing right now, I like that he's telling the truth. But he's also telling the truth about the other candidates. He's saying what he thinks and it would be hard for him to walk back if somebody else is the nominee. So I'm wondering what scenario do you want right now? Do you want all the other Republicans not to say what they think about Trump and at the same time Trump can say these things --
RUSH: Oh, no. I haven't -- no, no. It's a good question because it's a logical conclusion. Okay, if I'm warning people about saying things you can't walk back, then I must have some idea of what I want to happen. No. I'm just making observances right now and quasi-predictions. Of course you're probably talking about, well, among others, Jeb Bush, when you talk about things Trump is saying that he would have a tough time walking back.
Don't forget, Trump is Trump. I think Trump, if he wants to, will be able to explain anything later on that he says about Jeb (imitating Trump), "Because Jeb called me, Jeb told me I was right, Jeb and I finally agree, Jeb's a great guy." That's vintage Trump to do it that way. Trump I don't think would have a problem walking back anything he said. That's really the major concern. The major concern is if one of these conservatives gets the nomination will the Republican Party rally around him?
You know, it's not just Trump, folks, that some of these so-called conservative media types are saying things are gonna be difficult to walk back. It's not just about Trump. Will the RINOs who want another McCain, let's be honest, they want another McCain, they want another Bob Dole, if they don't get that, will they support a conservative if one happens to be the nominee?
