Great to have you on the EIB Network, Bruce. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello. Good afternoon. Just wanted to let you know, Rush, that I\u2019ve been a lifelong Democrat. I have to admit also that I had voted for Obama twice, but as of last week I changed my party affiliation to Republican so that I could vote for Donald Trump in the Republican primary coming up in Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, welcome home, sir. It\u2019s great to have you with us.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_120535\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trumpocrats.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nCALLER: Well, I\u2019ve been listening to you for years. I don\u2019t always agree with much of what you say, although I am getting more and more into it. But it\u2019s always been great entertainment. The reason I\u2019m for Trump is basically Albert Einstein says, &#8220;The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.&#8221; You keep electing these politicians &#8212; whether they\u2019re Republican or Democrat &#8212; and we keep ending up with the same thing,&#8221; or in the case of the last eight years, nothing. So it\u2019s about time. Let\u2019s try a businessperson. I am a very small businessman. I started my business, bought a franchise here seven years ago. I work very hard and very long hours for my customers to make them really excited, and I think that what I see from Donald Trump is a businessman who gets people excited.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right, the question I have for you is only because time is dwindling here. You\u2019ve been listening for a long time; you\u2019ve been in politics a long time. Trump comes along. Trump\u2019s been around six, seven months. Why only last week or whatever it was did you change your mind? What was the catalyst?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I saw all the noise that\u2019s going on. If people don\u2019t want Trump because they don\u2019t think he could be a good president, that\u2019s one thing. But all this other stuff that\u2019s revolving around, I decided that I needed to make my voice heard to say stop listening to all of the other stuff and think about the country.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_120522\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrumpIowa-C.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nRUSH: What other stuff? You mean people nitpicking at Trump over tweets and this kind of stuff? Is that what you mean?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir. And the abortion thing. So he didn\u2019t say it politically. His whole thing is, &#8220;I may not be political, but I can help this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, that\u2019s what I thought. I think many Trump supporters did react to it that way. Many Trump supporters, this is not what\u2019s animating them. These are people haven\u2019t had a raise in 15 years. By the way, do you know some of the things being written about Trump\u2019s supporters now? It is some of the nastiest stuff I have ever read, and it\u2019s being written by conservatives. I\u2019m gonna cut \u2019em some slack and not mention their names, but this stuff is outrageous, what they\u2019re saying about your &#8220;average white Trump supporter,&#8221; the way they\u2019re being characterized. It\u2019s&#8230; Man, there\u2019s a lot of fear out there. That\u2019s what it has to be.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019ve got some conservative bloggers writing about &#8220;white Trump supporters&#8221; like they deserve to fail. They\u2019re losers. The fact they haven\u2019t had a raise in 15 years is their fault; they deserve to die. I mean, this anger! It\u2019s like they\u2019re taking support of Trump personally. It\u2019s the strangest thing.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, look, I\u2019m not&#8230; I don\u2019t want to mention any names. I\u2019ll tell you why. Because these conservatives that are writing these pieces, they\u2019re gonna regret this. This campaign is gonna be over at some point, and people are gonna have long memories, and I really think it\u2019s &#8230; I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s unfortunate. I\u2019ll give you an example of what I\u2019m talking about here in just a second. Now, what is happening &#8212; and it\u2019s been going on for a couple of weeks, maybe even longer. There is a contingent of conservative media &#8212; and I guess it probably includes some people on TV and radio, too, primarily at one blog or another.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_120525\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trumpcrowd34.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nAgain, I\u2019m not gonna name any names because that\u2019s not the point. You might not even know these people anyway. But I\u2019ll give you an example. Let me read something that was written a couple weeks ago, a column about Trump\u2019s appeal. Everybody trying to figure it out, and it doesn\u2019t make sense to a lot of quasi-establishment types or pure establishment types. It doesn\u2019t make sense to a lot of people who consider themselves to be just straight-down-the-line mainstream conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>So they\u2019ve exhausted themselves. They\u2019re trying to diminish Trump. They\u2019re trying to diminish his support so that it goes elsewhere. They\u2019re scared to death Trump\u2019s gonna get nominated, scared to death\u2019s Trump\u2019s gonna go to elected, for all the reasons that I\u2019ve discussed. I don\u2019t need to rehash those. But since that hasn\u2019t worked, since writing critical things of Trump hasn\u2019t worked, the frustration has now begun to boil over, and these people are writing about Trump\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n<p>These are people that work at publications that ask for donations from people. These are places that sell subscriptions to people. &#8220;Donald Trump\u2019s appeals to the white working class are &#8216;immoral\u2019 because that demographic\u2019s way of life deserves to die out.&#8221; The white working class deserves to die out. &#8220;It is immoral because it perpetuates a lie: that the white working class that finds itself attracted to Trump has been victimized by outside forces. [N]obody did this to them. They failed themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re already failures. It\u2019s nobody\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not NAFTA\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not TPP\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not Mexico\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not the fault of illegals. They\u2019re failures. The people supporting Trump are failures. They\u2019re angry. They know they\u2019re failures. They know they\u2019ve failed in life, and so, rather than blame themselves, they\u2019re seeking to blame anybody else. They\u2019re nothing but victims, and Trump comes along and makes \u2019em feel like they\u2019re special and makes \u2019em feel that Trump\u2019s gonna get even with the people that screwed them.<\/p>\n<p>But since they\u2019re already failures, they deserve to die out. White middle class working lifestyles deserve to die out. The white working class that finds itself attracted to Trump has been victimized not by outside forces nobody did it to them), they failed themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities&#8221; of white working class people &#8220;is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible.&#8221; They are drug addicts; they are alcoholics. Man, I\u2019m aware of Democrats and the media insulting Republican voters. When the Democrats and the media start in on that, it\u2019s unusually Southerners who go to church, who are pro-lifers. They make them out to be hayseeds, uneducated Bible-thumping hicks, the people Obama calls bitter clingers.<\/p>\n<p>But I am not aware&#8230; It\u2019s probably been thought before. I have not seen these kinds of really angry, vitriolic things written about people that support Trump. Obviously what\u2019s happening is that the efforts these people have made to warn Trump\u2019s voters that he\u2019s not what they think he is and he\u2019s inexperienced &#8212; that he\u2019s charlatan and he\u2019s a carnival barker, that he\u2019s not worth your time and he\u2019s dangerous &#8212; that\u2019s not working. They have failed to harm Trump by criticizing him. So in their desperation, they\u2019re going after Trump voters.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just one or two of them. It\u2019s become a theme in several places. The problem is that all this is gonna be over at some point. You know, there is going to be a Republican nominee at some point. And there will be the usual call, as there are every four years, there will be the usual calls for unity. But I don\u2019t know what people who have been told they deserve to die, that they\u2019re immoral, that they\u2019re inherent failures, that time has passed them by; they\u2019re basically a bunch of incompetents. You couldn\u2019t blame them if they don\u2019t forget about it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the theory is they\u2019re too dumb and stupid to even know this is being written about them. And another theory is that nobody in the Trump camp will admit that they are one of these people, so nobody\u2019s gonna take it personally, because nobody\u2019s gonna admit that they\u2019re a loser and deserve to die out. So there may be some safety in it, you know, for psychological reasons. But still, it\u2019s really over the top kind of stuff. You start blaming voters for the fact that you can\u2019t persuade people, you start blaming voters that your guy is losing, or maybe you don\u2019t even have a guy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=3791\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img id=\"eZObject_120524\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTapeTrump.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><\/a>You just don\u2019t like the front-runner in this race and you resent had you seen success or what have you, I\u2019m telling you, folks, within the Republican establishment all areas under, a lot of people deathly afraid of what a Trump victory would mean for their and their lifestyles. This guy Michael Gerson, former George W. Bush speechwriter and columnist at the Washington Post. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/rush-limbaughs-defense-of-trump-is-killing-conservatism\/2016\/03\/28\/9f0c2b16-f522-11e5-8b23-538270a1ca31_story.html\">He had a very, very caustic piece about me recently<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently what really ticked him off is when I opined that one of the reasons establishment people so feel threatened by Trump is that they might lose their standard of living, because they might lose their position in the power structure, which might&#8230; He really took offense that I was in any way saying that their virtuous attitude about Trump was in any way related to personal wealth or money. And I\u2019m telling you, when they tell you it\u2019s not the money, it\u2019s the money. It\u2019s the money for everybody.<\/p>\n<p>The people that are voting Trump, many of them&#8230; Not all, by the way. It\u2019s impossible to typecast the Trump supporter. They come from too many different places. They\u2019re not all monolithic, just like most constituencies aren\u2019t. But to go down this pathway claiming that these people who haven\u2019t had a raise in 15 years just \u2019cause of their own incompetence, their own inability to modernize, their own inability to get with it? They deserve to be sitting there in poverty if they\u2019re gonna be that stupid.<\/p>\n<p>These are people that have voted Republican time and time again. They probably&#8230; These same people probably voted for McCain. They probably voted for Romney. Some of them, they probably voted for George W. Bush. Some of them probably subscribe to some of these websites and magazines now where they\u2019re being insulted. So there\u2019s a lot of people who are very personally frightened by what\u2019s. And I\u2019ve been making the point from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And this is Sheldon in San Francisco. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Yeah, I\u2019m first-time caller. I think your intelligence and outlook is very refreshing. I want to thank you for your show. I was a Democrat before. I\u2019m a Donald Trump supporter. I\u2019m also a black American. I think Donald Trump is just what America needs, and I think it\u2019s really annoying how the nitpickers, every time they get a chance, they just try to act like&#8230; They\u2019re so arrogant about the nitpicking too. They act like they\u2019re so perfect and Donald Trump can\u2019t make a mistake. The man is not perfect. He made a few errors as far as what he responds to. But he really cares about America, and he is a doer, not just a talker. This man has been very successful. He\u2019s a very successful person, and all they do is nitpick the guy. Why don\u2019t they be billionaires? If they\u2019re so smart, how come they\u2019re not billionaires? I think Donald Trump is just what America needs, and the fact that he is rocking the boat &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What would it take for you to become disgruntled or dissatisfied with Mr. Trump?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_120533\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TRUMPmania-A.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nCALLER: Nothing. Nothing he do would make any disgruntled. Call it intuition, call it whatever you want to, but I think he\u2019ll really be good. I don\u2019t think he will do these things that will make me switch.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me ask: Does it bother you that lately he\u2019s had to revise what he\u2019s saying, in some the cases two or three times?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, it doesn\u2019t because he\u2019s not a politician. Politicians are so smooth talking to each other. They pretend like, &#8220;Oh, well, the response is incorrect! That means that (unintelligible),&#8221; they say. That\u2019s a joke, that\u2019s really a joke. This (unintelligible) the fact that he does (unintelligible) &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Are you ever&#8230;? At any point in the past few months, as long as you\u2019ve been paying attention to Trump, has anything happened that has really worried you, frightened you, has made you ask, &#8220;Does this guy actually know what he\u2019s doing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely not, \u2019cause I realize (unintelligible) talking (unintelligible) setups, they\u2019re just trying to (unintelligible) the public. That\u2019s what politicians do. Nothing he has said has worried me about Trump. It worries me about the other people that have attacked him. That\u2019s what worries me. What Donald Trump has done does not worry me at all.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Donald Trump says that in eight years, two presidential terms, he could eliminate the $19 trillion national debt. Do you think that\u2019s possible?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, anything is possible. I mean, he would make an effort, Rush. And we certainly need somebody that does that for sure. I mean, whether it\u2019s possible or not, I mean, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s mathematically possible. But he will at least make an effort, and I believe he\u2019s the first person to do so.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Sheldon, you\u2019re from San Francisco. Are you white, middle class, broke, poor, out of work for the 15th year? Are you a failure and blaming it on other people and Trump is your salvation?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. Not at all. Not at all. I\u2019m very successful. I have a college degree. I\u2019ve been very successes businesses myself. So no, I\u2019m not like that at all.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right. I\u2019m just trying to fit the profile here. There\u2019s nothing Trump\u2019s ever said that gave you pause? There\u2019s nothing Trump\u2019s ever said or done? Like, did you worry when he started tweeting out pictures of other candidates\u2019 wives? Did your skin crawl? Did you get nervous at any of that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No (unintelligible).<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me ask it to you. Sheldon, let me ask you: Are you worried at any time that Trump\u2019s blowing it? Are you worried that he\u2019s overdoing it, maybe too much outsider stuff and he\u2019s in danger of blowing it? Have you ever had that fear?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_120534\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trumpette.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nCALLER: Sometimes I fear that he shouldn\u2019t let people interview him that are gonna set him up. I think some of these interviews just try to set him up, \u2019cause they\u2019re all biased. They all agree with each other. If you notice on TV, they all agree with each other. They all have the same opinion, mostly. They pretend like they are flexible, but most of them, they all agree with each other. It\u2019s really a big joke. That\u2019s why I listen to the radio \u2019cause at least on the radio, you have actual different views. On TV, it seems like all the people agree with each other.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Not only different views, but different perspectives and generally rooted in truth and fact, honor and the American way. I totally understand what you\u2019re saying there. But, Sheldon, one more thing here before I let you go. You just said that he ought not do interviews with certain people.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Obviously you\u2019re talking about his interview with Chris Matthews but you have to understand that Trump thinks that he can persuade anybody. He can change anybody\u2019s mind. He\u2019s not afraid of talking to anybody. I mean, Matthews calls, and he doesn\u2019t see Matthews as an enemy. He doesn\u2019t see Matthews as a representative of the other side that wants to do him in. He sees an opportunity to straighten out a knucklehead.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) Yeah. That\u2019s true. I think Trump is a good person. He might be naive as far as how (unintelligible) other people can be, but that\u2019s not his fault that other people (unintelligible).<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, yeah. Like you just said, he shouldn\u2019t do certain interviews, and a lot of his supporters agree. There ought to be places he ought to know, &#8220;There\u2019s nothing to be gained going there.&#8221; No matter how good he thinks he is, no matter how pervasive he thinks he is, there are some places out to destroy him, and he ought to know that before he goes there. And so people say, &#8220;You know what? Does he have competent people behind him?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Does he have people trying to sabotage him on his own team? Does he have anybody that knows what they\u2019re doing?&#8221; And the answer always comes, &#8220;No, the guy\u2019s an outsider. Don\u2019t you understand, Rush? Outsider means outsider! You can\u2019t look at Trump and judge him in any way the way you would judge any professional politician. He\u2019s a totally different animal.&#8221; I get this all the time. You might be believe it, from people who think I\u2019m being unfairly critical of Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Bruce in Rockville, Maryland.
