Rush has a helluva lot better insight and perspective into who Trump is than most people do. He has known Trump personally for years and I am absolutely certain he would not be saying the things he is about Trump if he did not trust The Donald.

Donald Trump represents ethno-cultural-civilizational identitarianism. That's all there is to it.

The same people who hurl at the thought of socialism when advocated by "people of color" or the Left think it's a great idea when advocated by populist white farmers of the 1890s or Huey P. Long or Father Coughlin. The Lefties are "them;" we're "us." And the reverse is true as well (Leftists can't stand the socialist Father Coughlin).

We're becoming like animals. Religion as the supreme loyalty was obviously never true. It always gives way to blood and genes and chromosomes. And while Donald Trump may not be a committed chrstian, he's something obviously much more important to many people: he's ethno-culturally "one of us."

Black and Hispanic chrstians hate this country and want to destroy it in tandem with atheists and moslems and homosexuals. White chrstians are ready to join hand with white atheist racialists and "civilizationists" to defend it. White chrstians accept non-white chrstians only if the latter identify with white "culture;" Black and Hispanic chrstians fellowship self-hating white chrstians who support "gay rights" and abortion (and islam).

We may very well be at That Time of History.

Trump phenomena circa 2015 is actually quite simple to understand. We do not need long essay’s to understand it.

Career politicians who use words such as “liberty” and “freedom” and “constitution” generously, have been in charge for 3 decades. Simple truth is they have delivered fewer jobs for the middle class.

People are angry and frustrated over the lies from career politicians, again and again. Trump is for the middle class, and not in the pockets of rich donors controlling his actions and votes in congress. Any wonder why Trump is leading the polls?

he is indifferent to the size and scope of big government and quite indifferent to Constitutional guarantees of citizens’ rights.

Damnit! He's a Republican, not a conservative.

I think Rush honestly feels the same way that most of us do. Lately you can tell that he is holding his tongue as he flirts with coming right out and saying the kind of things we all say and think about the GOPe. His comments about the Iran nuke deal have been right on the edge of accusing Corker, McConnell and Boner of treason. You can tell he’s as fed up as we are and is only walking the fine line because of his position and concerns about losing sponsors if he gets embroiled in another controversy.

I agree. Trump will not bow and scrape to the PC Lords in the media.

The media is biased and 70% agree. Pre-TV media was biased but there competition. Most towns had a conservative newspaper and a liberal newspaper.

In the age of TV, media pretended to be objective while biased toward liberal.

They get away with it because there is not enough competition in media. It operates more like a cartel. Yes, they compete for eyeballs but with same pablum.

The entry price is pretty steep to start a national network. Rupert succeeded because there was a vaccuum but it seems they are moving left as well.

To open up the media marketplace of ideas, we should move to a more competitive market for our entertainment, news.
In other words, customers should cut their cable tv and move to the internet for their tv needs. If the customers move, the networks will follow.

There are plenty of devices out there that show the internet on your tv, roku, etc.

I watched the debates livestreaming on cnn.com. I really do not miss much not having cable tv and I am saving money.

If enough people switch, there will be more competition in the media marketplace.

I am not suggesting that the frustration may not be justified; I’m suggesting that the rage buoying up Trump’s campaign is a very dangerous and ultimately counter-productive political emotion, one which threatens to trump (pun intended) the principles on which the movement has been based on for the last 60-odd years.

Where can I get a job writing cr@p like this?

What are the conservative principles he believe animates the likes of The Man With No Name (Jeb) McConnell or Boehner?

If Buckley were alive today he'd be roasting them.

If there is ONE thing Rush Limbaugh ISN’T .. it’s a phony.

Rush has been pointing out the GOPe for as long as I can remember. And, he often relates how he was asked to speak before the open of Congress one year - the year we had so many NEW congressmen.

If Rush likes you, or doesn’t like you .. he doesn’t pretend about it. I don’t know how anybody can listen to him and believe “it’s just a business decision”. It’s never been that way with Rush .. NEVER .. EVER.

Geraghty has noticed a telling reticence on TrumpÂ’s part to utter such words as "freedom" or "liberty."

He means RELUCTANCE, not RETICENCE. This is a bit of illiteracy that really needs stamping out.

Rush's point---and he wouldn't put it this way---was really Biblical. He said we had NRO and (suddenly) the GOPe who talk about Liberty and freedom and do nothing. It is from Jesus's parable about the man with two sons. He said to the first, "go and work my fields," and the don said yes, then did not. The man said to his other son, "go and work my fields," and the son said no, but did anyway. Which son was obedient?

The GOPe and NRO say "yes" to Liberty, then do nothing. Trump does not use "Liberty speak," but does the things we want our leaders to do. Which is more "conservative?"

Walker didn’t have a hellacious,y good immigration and gun plan. Not a fan of subsidies for anyone, but that’s like throwing a wild pitch after six straight strike outs.

I am hearing Rush say the same too, and it behoves the establishment in the GOP to get thei heads straighgt and understand that Rush is saying stuff we are all thinking. Levin is even closer to the T word than Rush. He has already called Obama Treasonous and the GOPe congressional leadership accessories.

Oh noes. Trump doesn’t use the right words. To sound good.

These GOP elites just love to talk and write. But are too chicken sh*t to actually do anything they talk or write about.
