RUSH: Here is Shari in Valparaiso, Indiana, as we stick with the phones here on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi, Shari. Great to have you here.
CALLER: Hi, Rush, glad to talk to you again.
RUSH: You bet.
CALLER: I have a question for you. First of all, do you remember how people have been calling you over the months and they've been all depressed about the country and upset with the direction we're going and saying that, you know, they think America is over and stuff like that? And you said to them that you didn't know what was gonna happen, but you're an optimist, and you didn't know what would happen, but you thought something would happen to pull us back from the brink. Well, my question is, do you think that Trump was what you were waiting for?
RUSH: Well, no. I'm answering your question specifically. I mean, I didn't know what the event would be. All I knew is that something was likely to happen that would reinvigorate people, or that would illustrate to them that all isn't lost, or that they're not in a minority in terms of the way they're thinking about the country. In other words, something would happen to make everybody realize we haven't lost the country yet, there's still a good chance here of saving it. Now, I didn't anticipate, I didn't know what it would be. I had no idea. If anything, I was thinking more along the lines that something would happen that would expose Obama as a giant, total fraud.

I see that you didn’t bother refuting any of the facts that I presented. I should know better than to expect that from those emotionally charged by Trump’s rhetoric.
Rush gets it around the edges, but it's worse than he thinks. Conservative DC Elites want a President who will sit with them in DC drawing rooms and chat in the style of William F. Buckley, Jr... someone who will make THEM feel good about themselves.
Establishment Conservatives want connection, status, someone to prop up their 'airs'... someone to 'converse' with... not 'talk' with - 'converse' with...
They don't get Trump - they don't understand the county's turning into a hellhole... they don't care about the anguish in flyover, the jobs lost, the vets mistreated... because they're little part of the world - upscale DC - is just fine...
