The Turtle Gets the Biggest Ovation of His Life
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | October 16, 2018 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 10/16/2018 12:54:47 PM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: I want you to hear the standing ovation the Turtle got. This would never have happened… I don’t know how long it’s been since Mitch McConnell was greeted with this kind of love and respect and excitement by a Republican audience anywhere. But Donald Trump brought him on the stage at a MAGA rally in Richmond, Kentucky, on Saturday thanking the Turtle for standing firm on Kavanaugh. And listen to the reaction.

Trump says Mitch McConnell "Kentucky tough"

THE PRESIDENT: Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. Come up here!

CROWD: (loud cheers)

RUSH: George Will is watching this and just unable to control himself. Wait a minute. Keep… Stick with it here, folks. The Turtle is gonna speak here in a minute.

MCCONNELL: Thank you, Kentucky. Aren’t we proud of President Trump?

CROWD: (cheers)

RUSH: Right on! How long do you think it’s been since Mitch McConnell got that kind of a reception at a political event? I don’t think he’s gotten a reception like that even on an election night victory party that he’s had. And I’m gonna — I’m gonna — I’m gonna go out on a limb and say, you know, Mitch might have liked that. Everybody likes that, especially people that are unaccustomed to it. And everybody in the world knows that it was the Trumpster that made approximate happen.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By the way, at that rally on Saturday night, Kentucky, Trump did remind McConnell that that ovation was because of Trump. But that’s okay. Mitch still got it. It was legitimate and I’m sure he appreciated it. (interruption) No, no, no, Trump should not have called her “Horseface” in the 60 Minutes interview. No, no, no, no. Don’t — just take what you get and be thankful for it. Okay? Don’t ask for more.

You have a leader at the helm.

Mitch isn't supposed to have a leader.

Mitch is supposed to BE a leader.

You know a great deal about it.
Seems that Blankenship never owed up to his part in the tragedy. 29 families either destroyed or forever damaged.

I will no longer mock McConnell, Graham, or even Collins. However, it is fair to flack Flake.

President Trump is like a wise parent...punish jerks and reward good little boys and girls. LOL

Apparently he spent some money on an accurate wind vane.

I stopped and had 2 beers at a bar the other night and the President was on TV.

A Moonbat my age came in and started the antics.

I asked him what was the problem with the President and he went on about how DJT was getting credit for the Obama economy, I kid you not.

1) The d'Rats are delusional. All of them.

2) Half the population is below average.

100-0 vote against allowing the President recess appointments.

Married to a de facto communist Chinese agent.

No applause here. None. Zero. Nada.

"That pigeon’s name was “Schumer”."

Fitting since, as far as humans go, Schumer IS a rat with loads of frequent flyer miles.

He was one of the few RINOs who had me half (half!) fooled. I still had the nagging question of why Willard the Rat would pick him. Now I know.

When he took the stage and looked around, he was momentarily stunned at the crowds cheering & adulation and perhaps thought "wow, so this is what real fame, popularity & being loved feels like! Compared to the daily crap & struggles in DC with the democrats, I could get used to this!"

So yeah, all this time he's been used to being weak and slow and thus earning the title as Mc.Turtle. But in a rare instance when it was crunch time, he delivered and stiffened his backbones in resolve and along with girly man Graham, they surprised the entire country and the mean cabal of senate democrats who was piling on to Judge Kavanaugh.

What Mitch experienced is on par with what Doc Johnson got when he spoke to the crowd of Afghan refugees in Pakistan as depicted in the movie Charlie Wilson War.

He may have been a lifetime bureaucrat before, but after facing & talking to the crowds he was a changed man and he was critical to securing all the funds from to defeat the Russians.

He is a key player in completing Trump's continuing agenda to get this country back on track, but he needs a massive infusing of fire in his bones and to become alive again.

If there was ever an example of what a well placed SPY & BRIBE can do for you: when you look it up in the encyclopedia you see Ryan’s face.
