2 conservative radio hosts really really mad at Trump
“Donald, you dumb son of a b*tch,” Lonsberry begins his letter, and it only gets more comically hostile from there.
“Tens of millions of Americans invested in you, not because they gave a damn about you, but because they love their country,” Lonsberry thundered. “And because you convinced them you could lead their country out of the doldrums of decay created by progressive globalists. They bought into you. A whole political party bought into you. And you crapped the bed.”
“You’ve gotten so stupid, so decidedly self-destructive, that it doesn’t seem like an accident,” he continued. “It seems like you’re a political suicide bomber, intent on destroying not just the Republican Party, but also the United States.”

Conservative radio host: ‘We’ve created this monster’ of fact-hating right-wing voter
In an interview with Business Insider’s Oliver Darcy, a conservative radio host lamented the fact that conservative media has conditioned its followers to distrust the mainstream media so much that they have become fact-free “monsters.”
In a tweet promoting an upcoming piece on rightwing media, Darcy posted an excerpt from an interview with conservative radio host Charlie Sykes who claims candidates like Donald Trump can say anything on the stump without fear of being fact-checked by the likes of Fox News or conservative websites.
“We’ve basically eliminated any of the referees, the gatekeepers. There’s nobody. Let’s say that Donald Trump basically makes whatever you want to say, whatever claim he wants to make. And everybody knows it’s a falsehood,” he explained. “The big question of my audience, it is impossible for me to say that. ‘By the way, you know it’s false.’ And they’ll say, ‘Why? I saw it on Allen B. West.’ Or they’ll say, ‘I saw it on a Facebook page.’ And I’ll say, ‘The New York Times did a fact check.’ And they’ll say, Oh, that’s The New York Times. That’s bullshit.'”

Oh my! My dad isn't even alive to call into him and prod him to that! 
Seriously - he always took my dad's calls years ago. He called him his rational Vietnam vet! A lot of times my dad would end the call with "That's all old sport" then hang up.
He was a troll of the highest order before trolling was a thing.
