Rush Limbaugh: Romney's Attack On Trump "Is Nothing New," "They Tried To Deny Reagan"

Well there you have it. The right wing whisperer Rush Limbaugh saying that Donald Trump is the spiritual successor to Ronald Reagan.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/03/06/rush_limbaugh_on_trump_much_bigger_up_side_than_down_side.html

National Radio Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh joins Chris Wallace for an exclusive interview discussing his take on the feud between Donald Trump and Mitt Romney, and Trump's prospects in the election going forward.

"His dad did much the same thing against Barry Goldwater with a cabal of Republicans, establishment guys, back in 1964," Limbaugh said about Romney. "This is not new. The establishment not wanting outsiders, not wanting conservatives is not new... They were this way with Ronald Reagan before Reagan was elected. They tried to deny Reagan in '76 and they tried to deny Reagan in 1980. They're not conservative."

"I think with the case of Trump, there’s a much bigger upside than downside,” Limbaugh concluded. "A lot of people disagree with me on this but the people who want somebody not of Washington, it's serious this time. It's real."

A Sander's White House would be almost as good for him; a close second for sure. Pushing his people towards Trump or even Cruz ensures he will get to retire (or keel over) at the "top of his game."

Letterman called him that once. Hurt his feelings so bad he only guested on Faux exclusively after that.
