Limbaugh: Trump Doing A ‘Great Service’
foxnews.com ^

Posted on 11/22/2015 4:24:15 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Rush Limbaugh stood up for the "great service" Donald Trump is doing by taking on the media.

"Trump is, I think, doing a great service," Limbaugh said on "Fox News Sunday." "He is showing that you do not have to fear attacks from media." "He's showing you do not have to fear being politically correct or violating political correctness," Limbaugh added.

The radio host also weighed in on other 2016 candidates. He said Ben Carson is "one of the most decent human beings in the country," but not equipped to be president "at this stage."

.....”activity starts January 2, 2016 ...it’s almost useless to discuss any “big shifts” at this point”.....

Those are yet to be seen..with certainty....and you can bet the media will be gearing up for that as well so they can “frame’ the candidates according to their bias.

Next year will surely be an interesting one......it will be most interesting to see how Cruz and Trump operate between one another.....quite possible how they interact and who steps back as things go along will show what ‘they’ve’ decided is to win.

Oh, look. It's the Cruzette TrumpTroll twins jumping on a Trump thread to bash Trump, again.

No. Actually it was entropy12's low-info attack on Cruz in post #26 that invited Cruz defenders and truth defenders in.

The biggest weasel words of them all are Trump saying that he is going to expedite the good ones back in, after claiming that he is going to deport them all.

The historical GOP FRONTRUNNER Trump is the ONLY candidate not owned by PACs/Cheap Labor Express.

More low-info crap from a Trump supporter.

Cruz has about 38 million in PAC's. Document your claim about Cruz's PAC's.

Ah. I see. As opposed to recognizing the non-weasel words of a politician who signs a written pledge not to run 3rd party, and less than three months later, claims that he only signed the pledge with it being known that the pledge would be invalid if he decided that the GOP hadn't treated him "fairly."

Pure gobbledygook, Trump did not sign a suicide pact. If the GOPe is going to use all of its resources to force Trump out of the race, Trump has every right to consider the pledge null and void. All your post to me have been a day late and complete conjecture based on nonsense. Don't waist my time.

You cruzers just don't get it. You have to align yourselves with the GOPe and msm to defend Cruz and attack Trump. Then you have the nerve to say Cruz is anti-establishment.

I have found it is very hard to convince liberals that just because you keep saying it, it does not make it true. But I'll try one more time. Trump is very clear about what he intends to do, that is not weasel words, that taking and owning a position. Something a politician like Cruz will not do.

Throw away nonsense.

Sure expediting the good ones back in is as unambiguous as....as mud. Gotta love that clarity.

Rooster, do you think I "hate" Trump? If you do, you're badly mistaken, as mistaken as I would be if I said you "hate" Cruz.

It's in black and white. Rush Limbaugh had the most lavish and profound praise for Ted Cruz, politely wrote Carson off, and had the most circumspect and apolitical praise for Trump. Yet this story puts Cruz at the bottom, Carson in the middle, and Trump at the top!! And makes the headline about Trump as well!!!!

Yet how is "Trump the news" in what Limbaugh actually said? He's not -- the media you claim hates Trump so much spun it as if he was, and ignored Cruz even though Cruz actually was "the news."

It's right in front of people's faces, and they refuse to see it. When it is pointed out to them, many have resistance so strong that they attribute pointing it out to "hatred" for Trump. It is comparable to Trump's attributing Club for Growth's justifiable campaign to reveal Trump as a supporter of unconstitutional eminent domain seizures to his refusal to donate money to the group. Yes, he really did, read the link. It's there in straight-talking politically-incorrect black and white.

Open your eyes. If conservatives want to save this country, they need to coalesce behind a conservative candidate soon. Trump is only a politically incorrect patriotic showman celebrity businessman candidate with zip political record but lots of promises -- the evidence is overwhelming and even Rush found "political incorrectness" the only thing to praise in Trump in the story linked at the thread. Cruz is who Rush praised as "conservative."

The sooner people wake up to this, the better, because Trump will betray everyone who votes for his "politics" -- it is inevitable because Trump lacks a political compass. He's switched political parties three times since 1987! Just being a sincere patriot and successful businessman falls short of what's needed.

It's the lack of msm coverage and the self full-filling prophecy produced by the msm paid-for push-polls that says Cruz the conservative can not resonate with the voters.

Yep. And the story -- stories, actually, in the link for the thread's article, are a stellar illustration of that at work. Imagine if Fox and the Hill had come out with headlines stressing Rush's praise for Cruz and posted his actual words in quotes up-front, while relegating small mention of Trump at the bottom?

Think Cruz would begin to resonate then? Because I do.

The media and news orgs are doing what they can to prevent Cruz from ever resonating, and they are being devious about it, as the story linked demonstrates. The story was actually about Cruz, they made it about Trump.

Oh, look. It's the Cruzette TrumpTroll twins ...

It's all I need to read to know that reading your posts (unlike other Trump supporters here who keep a civil tongue) is a waste of time, so I will skip them. When you receive no response from me if you address a post to me, that is why. Other folks here have better things to say even when they're saying them to support Trump.

.....”The biggest weasel words of them all are Trump saying that he is going to expedite the good ones back in, after claiming that he is going to deport them all”.....

He’s not going to do that....about as much that might happen is he’ll clear out the gangs...maybe....and any wall will simply be to streamline and expedite the ‘human capital’ across the border.....but it will be presented to the public with a different twist.

Sounds great!!

The feeling is completely mutual.

I’m tired of the BS being spread about Trump on both Trump and Cruz threads, so that sounds perfect. Looking forward to it.

I know, the truth hurts. Lol.

What part of Trump’s not owned by ANY PAC/Cheap Labor Express isn’t true??

You’ve proven this is what gets some Cruzer’s all out of sorts. Talk about low-info.

Go peddle your angst on a Cruz thread.

LOL.

I see you are trying to slither your way out of your first post.

Obviously there is a logical distinction between saying "Trump is the ONLY one not owned" and "Trump is not owned".

You even screamed capped the word "ONLY".

LOL.

Document your claims, please.

Document what claim? The the GOPe is pulling out all the stops to stop Trump, or that you are aligning yourself with the GOPe and MSM. One is obvious and the other is self evident.

In other words, you are stating opinion as fact.
