Don't Panic, Folks! The Establishment Is Supposed to Be Against Trump

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We also have another round of 50 people, and it's many of the same people who've signed yet another letter. GOP foreign policy experts saying they will not vote for Trump. We have Maine Senator Susan Collins saying she will not vote for Trump. She's a Republican.

Now, a lot of people are getting upset about this, but you ought not. I mean, if you're a genuine Trumpster, what this is is just the establishment rising up against him. That's all this is. I mean, Trump's right about these 50 in the foreign policy letter. These are people that are gonna lose their jobs if he gets elected, and they know it.

I don't know what Susan Collins' problem is. She's mostly day in and day out not even really a Republican, but she calls herself one, so we will. But this is exactly what everybody should have expected. The establishment, I don't care whether it's made up of Republicans or Democrats, the establishment comes first. Ruling class versus us country class. Many Republican establishment members have made clear that they put the establishment and its primacy over party politics, and even over the direction the country is headed.

So while a lot of people panic about it... Well, they don't panic. Some people say, "Oh, my gosh, how can Trump possibly win? All these Republicans come..." You gotta look at it a different way. You can't look at it that way. That's the standard way of looking at it. It would mean something if they came out against Romney or if they come out against George W. Bush, but coming out against Trump makes all the sense in the world.

These are the people Trump has been calling out throughout his campaign. These are the people Trump has effectively been blaming for "ineffectiveness" and -- in his terminology -- "stupidity" for making bad deals. And they are clearly aware that, if he is elected, that he's gonna get rid of them or that they will not survive a Trump administration.

She never was much of a Republican, anyway. No loss!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Maine Senator Susan Collins saying she will not vote for Trump. She’s a Republican.

Allegedly.

Snowe left her position because conservatives were turning up the heat. She complained about it.

[Mr. Mojo]

I agree with Rush on this. All the criticism by the establishment will only help Trump.

[EnglishOnly]

GO TRUMP GO ..............all the WAY TO VICTORY!!

TRUMP speaks the TRUTH!!!

Can’t wait to see the Donald take the office of President!

[Sasparilla]

And most of the 50 security experts who disparaged Trump have a great responsibility in the chaos, turmoil, and death toll in the Mideast.

[coon2000]

Donate to Trump. I did today. Donate to Trump.

Love it - Once again Rush 'gets it'... he's got it figured out...

[jazminerose]

Good! We have also donated and will again.

We have to stay steady in this. All of this was expected, the hysterical death spasms of the ruling elites, the Uniparty. I'm not whistling past the graveyard here, but I am of the school that Trump is not peaking too early. He's only a hair behind right now and Hillary is an extremely weak candidate. I have read and heard Trump will begin the carpet bombing of Ads after labor day, keeping his powder dry. Allowing Hillary's deteriorating health and ever evolving and mounting scandal to stink up her campaign.

Hillary at best in the mid 40's, is not good. I would be worried if I were her campaign manager. The Republican party will get behind Trump, they will do the right thing. Those old crusty Neo-Con traitors the 50, I hope they die and rot in their NoVa manicured lawned mini mansions. Useless Bush toadies. Remember how we feel now and remember election night when the polls show Hillary with a 2-4 point lead and then she gets beaten. Trump is not doing a Willard, blow your wad early then fade after Labor Day, cede to the Democrats. I am supremely confident the Democrats will sh*t the bed come November. They have a nag running in the Kentucky Derby, which is hopped up on amphetamines and steroids and blew out the gate to a back stretch lead. She will fade, she did against Obama in 2008. She's not a closer. Trump doing well now, staying on message, staying out of the personal side fracases, raising money, forging alliances. Chin up folks
