Trump said during the second debate regarding the question what he admired about Hillary...”She’s a fighter”. He had to say something kinda nice so he came up with that. But I disagree. A fighter, in a positive sense, suggests she’s doing it for good motives, but she’s a power-hungry, ruthless bitch. She fights for her own interests. I don’t know Trump’s motives. But as flawed as Trump is, he’s fighting back against a yuge effin’ machine...right, left, media, Dem sycophants, foreign regimes, and globalists with tons of money. I admire him for that. Not many people could do it. He’s not giving up. I can’t give up either.

The traditional top-down Republican leadership, likes polite losers. You know really nice guys like Romney, McCain, Ford, Dole. This election has seen the “general public push from the bottom candidates.

For Democrats, the bottom-up candidate was Bernie Sanders. For Republicans it was both Cruz and Trump. We have seen Wikileaks expose how the DNC rigged thing to insure that a top down candidate was the Democratic Presidential nominee.

Among Republicans it was pretty clear that the Party elite wanted anyone but Cruz, then later they didn't want .

I think this is very true. Rubio, Kasich, Cruz, and the rest would have been beaten up like hapless pinatas by Hillary and crew, and not mounted any kind of response.

The more I see here, the more I agree. I was for Cruz from the beginning.. but he would not have weathered this at all. He was weak in defending the made up National Enquirer story. Trump is fighting and that is what we need. He won't back down....

“Yeah, I thought RushRINO read, or at least he used to read”

You know, today, for the first time in ages, I believe Rush was all in, and I mean totally all in, for Trump. He admires that Trump will never give up or give in, and it showed today in everything Rush was saying. I feel the best about Rush today than I have in a long, long time.

I believe Rush is now 100% with us, and any residual Cruz scrappings, have pealed off of him for good. And we really need Rush as an ally, because when he is on, he is completely on. Today Rush was on. Welcome aboard Rush. It took you long enough, but your total advocacy for Trump from this point on will be invaluable. Please don’t backslide. Our Country depends on people like you fighting tooth and nail for us. Keep at it!

We all need to be all in!!

How Can Any American?

How can any American support anyone, running for President, who does not respect the stated purpose of the Constitution, she has repeatedly sworn to preserve? The Preamble to the Constitution states that purpose:

We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Our "posterity," of course, are our lineal descendants. A purpose that is 100% consistent with Donald Trump's call to put America First. It is 100% consistent with the Fifth Commandment, and traditional Western values, in general. Mrs. Clinton's call for open borders, and the failure to properly vet immigrants from lands with very different value systems, is 100% inconsistent with the Constitutional purpose.

How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump, who not only understands & accepts what the Constitution requires. He strenuously exposes Mrs. Clinton on issue after issue!

Trump is willing to risk a lifetime of success--his whole career & fortune--to take on a corrupt media, that tries in every unfair, intellectually dishonest, way to cover up Mrs. Clinton's crimes and repeated acts of betrayal, in order to stand for us, our Constitution and our clear interests, on a host of vital issues. Consider:

1. Trump supports and has been endorsed by the border guards. Mrs. Clinton has shown only disdain for those trying to keep America safe from a flood of unauthorized invaders.

2. Trump supports the rights of Americans to efficiently arm themselves, both for their own protection and for the protection of America! Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly sought means to disarm American families.

3. Trump has supported local Police in violent confrontations with neighborhood thugs; while Mrs. Clinton & Obama have allied themselves with virulently anti Police groups--some funded by George Soros--groups determined to deny their law abiding neighbors, the Police protection, necessary to make those neighborhoods safe.

4. Trump understands that making any neighborhood safe, is the key to increasing constructive activity in such neighborhood;--the key to people being able to start local businesses, with some hope of success; the key to better job opportunities, better credit ratings, etc. Mrs. Clinton has shown herself more intent on encouraging and supporting those Soros funded groups.

5. Donald Trump supports all forms of American energy production! He wants to let the coal miners get back to work; to take advantage of improved technology that allows a cleaner use of coal. Mrs. Clinton has insulted the coal miners, by refusing to help them get back to work, while she patronizes them; offering them a new dependence on even more Governmental meddling.

6. Returning to the Constitution--the solemn compact (or contract) that authorizes us to even have a Federal Government;--the charter, that once--when truly honored--made us the envy of the earth:

Donald Trump has pledged to appoint only those who honor the clear intent of that charter, to the Federal Judiciary. Mrs. Clinton has promised to only appoint Judges who agree with her ghoulish view of Feminist issues: such as the idea that it is O.K. for a woman--on mere whim--to have a healthy, already half born baby, killed in cold blood, in something euphemistically labeled a "partial birth abortion!"

7. Donald Trump, daily addresses great rallies, to discuss these and other vital issues; such as the damage to American workers & communities, resulting from trade deals, and immigration policies, that do not protect our rooted population. Mrs. Clinton has avoided in depth discussion of issues; preferring, instead, an incessant attack on Donald Trump's personality; his tone; his supporters;--in each case misrepresenting the same by a combination of lies, cherry picked but misleading data, gross exaggerations, and citations of spurious media smears, engineered by a slavish press, which covers up actual crimes, in a blind, but determined, support for the perpetrator.

Under such circumstances: How can any American vote for Mrs. Clinton? How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

Note further: There are thousands of organizations, some Faith based (both evangelical & social); some secular, but ideological; some based on Humanist arrogance (Return To Babel). Among them there is something to represent just about any imagined human interest. Our written Constitution is the sole organizational effort focused solely on the interests of the rooted American. How dare any American betray or trivialize our organization; the Constitutional Republic, as it was intended by the Fathers, who won it for their posterity?! How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

May the living God Bless all those who understand what is truly at stake!

Yes, the MSM thinks this is 2012, but this election is going to be totally different.

Has he though?

Or is he just getting bogged down in stuff that doesn't matter?

yup. Rush understands on this one. Maybe because he's been in Trump's shoes, fighting off unfounded accusations from the left?

IMO, the reason that neither the GOP(e) or Dems like Trump is because he's off-script. The way this election was supposed to go is that the GOP(e) would nominate someone who wasn't Trump. Doesn't matter who - Bush, Rubio, Walker, Kasich. The person doesn't matter, he's just a placeholder, and completely interchangeable.

Then - Hillary would "uncover" some dirt, or something politically inexpedient on him, with the media's help.

Then, the Republican candidate would whimper, and apologize, and look contrite ..... then lose the election.

That's been the script since 1992, with Bush II being an anomaly as he ran against two of the more unlikeable people in the country, or perhaps the free world, and it didn't matter because Bush II had the Democrats backs 80% of the time, anyway.

But now - here comes Donald Trump. He took the script and threw it in the trash. He tells it like it is: "Hillary Lies! The Media Covers for her!" and everyone looks shocked, because these loaded words have never been used before - although they're completely truthful, and most knowledgeable conservatives have been saying them for 20 years or more.

And, thus hearing someone speak the truth for the first time, the American People cheer. Will it be enough to get Trump elected? I hope so.

He mentioned O Keefe’s video going into a break, but only so far as to say it was breaking news. I had to tune out so not sure if he addressed it later. But to answer your question he did at least acknowledge it.

Trump is a patriot, NOT a "summer soldier", and in the same mold as many of the FFs.

Rudy was the political "JOHN THE BAPTIST" to Trump's Messiah. It's a shame that so many here couldn't see the forest for the trees back then.

Rush has not been on the ‘to hear list’ for a number of months this past year. He betrayed America/Americans, it seemed to me, and was no longer considered relevant. The transcript suggests that rethinking my opinion might be in order at this time.

Thanks for the post. I’ll once again attempt to become a listener tomorrow, when his show airs, and will give him an opportunity to change my mind.

Far more blacks, Hispanics, and Chinese are voting for Trump than the damned polls show/know about.

Far MORE usual Dem voters are voting for Trump this time around, than is supposed.

And far MORE women ARE voting for Trump, than we are being told.

ALL WE ARE GETTING IS STINKING PROPAGANDA; SO IGNORE IT AND WORK AS THOUGH TRUMP IS LOSING!

There's no reason to fold. All the previous candidates since Reagan have been wooses.

The dims always come up with groundless accusations this time in the campaign season. Only the idealogues, the illiterate and the stupid buy into the allegations.

This circus amounts to media terrorism, unnamed sources, allred marching out "victims" with perfect memories that they only recalled ten years after the fact and the shameful lack of vetting or balance in any reporting of allegations.

By george I do believe the light has finally dawned on Rush.

I am sick of Republicans who when attacked curl up in corner, cry for their mommies and then vomit apologies like Linda Blair.

No more. No more.

I want a bar room brawler, a street fighter that breaks off a beer bottle and yells, "You want a piece of me? Come and get it!"

That is the man I will follow, not the fellow sitting in the lounge sipping his tea with his pinkie raised while writing apology notes.

It needs to be restated every day by Trump and Pence, and their major spokespersons, this is a battle against the tyranny of globalism. This is why Trump is fighting back, other Republicans are just Democrat-uniparty-lite and they have no real incentive to run hard, their role was known from the start in both 2008 and 2012, make the election look legitimate and lose with class.

Globalism is the combination of a cleaned-up communist ideology (political correctness) and specific interests that are mainly financial but also special-interest. Whatever the merits of the arguments, the basic truth is that globalists represent unelected power bases that impose their will through elected candidates who only give away a small part of the agenda. Therefore people are not really voting for what they get, and the taxes and disruptions of free speech that come with what they get.

Trump is running against this as well as running for specific policies that people can choose to support. I can’t guarantee that Trump would follow through but what choice do we have at this point, we know what’s hidden behind the meaningless slogans of the Democrats. Just as with “hope and change,” something like “stronger together” really means nothing, it is all just a cloud to obscure the real agenda, enforced political correctness.

That is one step removed from a communist revolution. The one step is that things have been added to former communist templates, such as mass Islamic immigration. That is something that even communists would not really support, at least not into their own countries.

I think Trump’s answer to that dumb-ass debate question (that he admires her for being a fighter and for not giving up) was sheer genius.

Not because there’s any truth to it, but because of the way he cleverly seized the opportunity to send her a very forceful message: that HE will never give up. He was talking about himself.

He used the same back-handed tactic when Jeb finally showed some fight in the primary - Trump said something to the effect of “Jeb is more high energy this time, I like that!”.

It was really a put down disguised as a compliment. Like calling someone tough guy when you mean the opposite. I think Trump is good at trash talk and getting in his opponent’s’ head.

Trump keeps creating non-issues (Hillary my be on drugs) which allow the media to argue those, and ignore real issues....Ben-Ghazi, E-mails etc...

He is his own worst enemy.
