....”Why did Limbaugh use the snarky term “Trumpbart” when referring to Breitbart”....

Nothing wrong with calling it what is is....it's popular now to add hyphenated names to Trumps now...most are pretty use to it and not offended...rather it's identifying with Trump...a good thing.

‘that loser Pence.’

Hmm...that sounds just like the way DU would describe a fiscally and socially conservative committed Christian.

Limbaugh is vanilla conservatism made with powdered skim milk.

100% Agree! He came off pompous - then ignored the speech until 2:40-ish. My giving him the benefit of the doubt as being supportive of Trump is reaching its last straw.

Rush - either get fully behind Trump or become more insignificant!

Very interesting article. Looong!

As I read through it the screen scrolled to a great pic of Breitbart. Made me sad. I cried when I heard that he’d died.

None of the Propagandists have ever built a building, or a business, or a lemonade stand.

Trump with the people, versus Lies & Deceit.

I wonder if those same bedwetters had a problem with White House Press Secretary Tony Snow?

I keep hearing ‘shake up’. Before this they were all saying he needed to broaden the campaign. He does and they all call it a shake up. All he did is hire 2 more people. Jeez.

another quote from a ‘second Republican congressman...’

““I think Trump wants to lose but have media control over 25 percent of the party so he can make money off of them.”

What an idiot. Yeah - Trump is going through all this just to make some coin.

I agree...he is widening his base of top-flight people to help his campaign

I said the same thing. It’s the friggen media and they’re narrative. Even the ones supposedly who are kind of, sort of fair.

The difference:

Paul Manafort: "The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath."

Steve Bannon: "I will crush my enemies and drive them before me. I will rejoice in the lamentations of their squishes and metrosexuals."

Rush is seeing the man in Trump that he wishes Biy Cruz could be, and it bugs him.

A presidential candidate should not have to fight against his own party and the opposition party as well. It drains vital resources.
In every other election, the losing primary candidates are out campaigning for the nominee and bringing in their supporters. That’s not happening with Cruz, Kasich, Bush, and Rubio.
>

Well, this DOES appear to be a one-in-a-generation election...where there’s *ACTUALLY* an opposition.

Dole > Romney, have all been the, “Gosh! I think so TOO...but it’s NOT Socialism\Fascism when ‘we’ do it!”.

Does anyone, anymore, believe ANY other (R) candidate would have given the Islam or inner-city speeches Trump has recently? Or vs. the media shills? HELL no. IMO, Nov is going to be crushing.

Thanks, to Trump, this election continues to be one of the best ever.

This has to be sending chills up any back bones left in the GOPe, the DNC and Clinton’s thugs.

The thing is, Steve wins. He doesn’t just “try.”

Bingo!

It's his very unpredictability that is keeping people on their toes. They want to "know" how and what he will respond to or not..he's not going to give them that.
