In December, after a particularly rough attack by Trump on rival Ted Cruz and Trump has certainly not backed off on the Cruz bash-and-trash rhetoric Limbaugh told his audience, A genuine conservative, even in the Republican field, would not go after Cruz this way. So, that just raised a red flag for me.
Following Saturdays South Carolina debate, Limbaugh said he heard even more rhetoric from Trump that, in his opinion, should not be coming out of the mouth of a Republican candidate.
<snip>
Limbaugh also criticized Trumps defense of Planned Parenthood, insisting such a position would be more at home on the other side of the political aisle.
Folks, he told his listeners, there were a number of occasions where Donald Trump sounded like the Daily Kos blog, where Donald Trump sounded like the Democrat Underground, sounded like any average host on MSNBC.

(58,785 posts)reported over here. In fact some people bring in ANYTHING they imagine trashes someone they don't like, or the Democratic Party as a whole. We're like the story about the Bible -- Trump specializes in slinging mud at others and could find whatever he needed here.

Ex Lurker
(3,816 posts)He calls the Democratic Party the Democrat Party, too. Something about Democrats not being Democratic. I guess it makes sense to him.
elljay
(1,178 posts)Possibly another Frank Luntz technique. They all do it- I can't recall the last time I heard a Republican using the term "Democratic". Part of it is that Democrat rhymes with rat; the other part is that they don't want to give us the favorable association with "democracy."
Moostache
(9,897 posts)They think it is cute to draw parallels with Democrat and rat.
To be fair, I think we on the left look just as stupid with things like RepubliCON and the like.
If the worst thing about Limbaugh was this tid bit of idiocy, I think he would still be very popular instead of a fading foot note in history.
History is moving on Rush, and the great cocktail party of fame and relevance is moving with it...you're just no longer invited to stay on board...and THAT is awesome cosmic retribution that makes the verbal gymnastics and foolishness so great. You no longer matter (if you ever REALLY did at all).
And that is the best thing for these blowhards...they never really believed 50% of their own tripe, but they 100% needed the adulation to feel good about themselves. Just look at Limbaugh as a case of karmic retribution done right.

(9,090 posts)once limbaugh starts backing off of seriously criticizing him he's done.
cruz depends on him too.
after limbaugh kicked rubio's 'treasonous' ass for dealing with dems on immigration now he's backing off. probably got a serious talking to, buyoff, or threat (after forcing palin on mccain) to sacrifice some of his royal certitude and make way for rubio to get the nomination.
basselope
(2,565 posts)But there was a moment where I found myself agreeing with him.
When Jeb bush used the nonsensical "Bush kept us safe" thing, when Trump reminded the world that 9/11 happened under bush's watch I thought.. WOW. Someone on the GOP side SAID IT!

(36,885 posts)It's truly funny that some republicans feel that Hillary/Trump know more what the republican/conservative base wants than the 'legitimate' GOP candidates do.
That makes the rest of the GOP field a bunch of RINOs.

BTW part 2 Trump was right w and Cheney were warned about al Qaeda prior
to 9/11 (8/6/01 PDB), the inspectors told w and Cheney that Iraq had no WMDs,
and ISIS is the result of w and Cheney's war in Iraq.
