Brilliant GOP Strategerist Discovers How to Find Out What Happens on This Show

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: This is Mercedes Schlapp, yesterday afternoon, The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson. After a discussion about the presidential campaign and Donald Trump, Mercedes Schlapp -- she's a Republican strategist, by the way -- this was her comment.

SCHLAPP: I think we need to understand the Trump voter. When I was listening to Rush Limbaugh a couple weeks ago it was very clear a Trump voter called in and said, "I don't care what Donald Trump says, I'm gonna support him anyways. I want things to get done." And that is a sentiment of the Trump voter. The question will be, can he expand his coalition based on his different comments that he's made? That's gonna be his biggest challenge, and, quite frankly, we might not have an answer 'til March 15th.

RUSH: You know, Mercedes Schlapp is, obviously, quite brilliant. In order to find out why Trump voters do what they do, she came here, she turned on this program. You want to find out why certain people vote certain ways, you want to find out why the American people think the way they do, tune in to this show. Imagine if all the Republican consultants did that. Can you imagine? No, seriously, Snerdley, if every Republican consultant tuned into this program to get an idea of the thinking of the Republican base and mainstream America, can you imagine how much it would help them?

Here they are trying to figure out Trump, they're trying to figure out why people like Trump. They got Kasich running ads. Now the Kasich super PAC apparently has got an ad comparing Trump to Hitler. Kasich says, no, no, no, no, is not doing that, whatever. We got the sound bites of that coming up, too, as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears.

But Mercedes Schlapp says, "You know what? I'm gonna tune into the Limbaugh show, that's where I'll find out." And she heard this Trump caller, Trump supporter call, and she understands it, rather than try to analyze it herself or figure it out. I mean, what would you call it? Well, it's an opportunity, it's a golden opportunity for these Republican consultants to tune in here and find out what voters actually think.

You mean, the inside-the-beltway echo chamber’s not the way to understand flyover country? Who knew!

If she understood the reason why Trump is popular she would be terrified. Because the reason is he is not one of them. It simply boils down to that.

the reason why I think trump is popular with everybody but the insider republican establishment is that he is an insider that knows the shit the rest of the insiders have been pulling and they know he will put an end to a lot of the money making off of government crap that both republicans and democrat business men do.

Politicians got us into this mess. It’s going to take non-politicians to get us out.
