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, theres 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."

Interesting. While Glenn Beck is comparing Donald Trump to Hitler, Rush Limbaugh is comparing Trump to Reagan.

(9,350 posts)This proves Rush Limbaugh has not principles. Donald Trump is not a true conservative. He is only running as a Republican because Barack Obama is a Democratic President and the right wing hates him. I guess someone can say Ronald Reagan flip flopped on issues just like Trump. However, it seems that Reagan was much more of a consistent conservative. It is likely Reagan did not change his opinions with the changing of the person in the White House. How many times has Donald Trump changed his party allegiance? A few years ago Trump was claiming Hillary Clinton would make a good to great President. Not too long ago Trump was saying the Republican Party was too far to the right.
Does Rush Limbaugh think having a nominating process is attempting to deny someone a shot at the White House? Was every Republican who disagreed with Ronald Reagan supposed to shut up and make way for Reagan to be handed the Republican nomination?
I assume Rush Limbaugh knows Barry Goldwater suffered one of the worst loses in political history? Does he blame George Romney for Goldwater's 1964 election loss? It seems George Romney was right about Barry Goldwater.

(17,387 posts)...is akin to denying that Jesus is the messiah. Still, to compare Trump to Reagan is pretty out there.
