Rush Limbaugh Rallies Listeners to Trump’s Defense

Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, “who has a substantial following among grass-roots Republicans, came to the defense of Donald Trump as prominent leaders in the party stepped up their criticism of Mr. Trump’s pointed comments about Sen. John McCain,” the New York Times reports.

“Such a defense is not entirely surprising, since Mr. Limbaugh’s distaste for the Republican establishment is deep and well documented. But the supportive words from Mr. Limbaugh may provide Mr. Trump with the inoculation he needs to survive the scorn of the party’s elders long enough to be included in the presidential debates.”

I'll definitely watch it, if I can remember how to unlock Faux on my receiver. Rump can probably hold on another two weeks, and it's going to be comedy GOLD, I tell ya!

Mr. Limbaugh, Trump's candidacy is not only a Just Cause, it is the Greatest Cause, and don't let any losers tell you otherwise.
in fact, Donald Trump's candidacy has at least 10X the Greatness and Justice associated with all previous causes combined.
