Limbaugh has lost his influence, who IS leading the republican morons these days?

[J_J_]

Limbaugh absolutely hates Trump and bashes him constantly.

Trump is currently leading in popularity.

Who are these Republican followers listening to?

Who is telling them to vote Trump?

12. :) I think Donnie's just a silly wild card. He attacks anyone and anything for attention, and

pays big for more if the hot air doesn't carry him high enough.

[PoliticAverse]

2. Limbaugh actually said Tump's message "is gonna resonate with poeple",

so I guess he knows his audience.

3. Limbaugh lives right down the road from Trump. I don't think he has been invited to

any parties at Mar-a-Lago, especially when the Kochs are there...

[DrDan]

4. certainly not as influencial as limbaugh, but I was surprised by how many pro-trump callers

were calling into the herman cain show.

"We need a candidate who has been successful in business" . . . wow!

[PoliticAverse]

5. Do you think Trump outsourced that? n/t

[DrDan]

8. hmmmm - did not think of that . . . but would not surprise me

perhaps he enlisted/paid those callers . . . sounds reasonable and makes more sense than someone actually supporting that cretin because of his business "success" - what with his multiple bankruptcies, failed marriages, etc.

[Warpy]

16. He'd have had to

"Successful at business?" He's been very successful at going bankrupt with other people's money.

Then again, the country is full of moron businessmen who think government should run like a business. They're wrong, and trying to do so has caused many of the economic problems we face today, especially income and wealth inequality.

6. Even Palin The Quitter has lost most of her groupies.

O how the mighty have fallen.

[kairos12]

9. Palinistas are hold up eating Slim Jims and Cheetos waiting on the rapture.

[Kelvin Mace]

7. The inmates are now running the asylum

Limbaugh, et al, spent years riling up the crazies, now the crazies are loose.

[hifiguy]

17. And they're in the middle of the dinner party

pooping in the corners of the room and taking bites out of the dog. The cat bolted in search of saner surroundings.

The flatulent, sputtering cave orcs have boiled up out of the basement for everyone to see.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Still the same old pair of slime balls,

Roger Ailes and behind the curtain Karl Rove. And their day to day propagandist Frank Luntz.

[J_J_]

15. Rove is supporting Trump?

I assumed those guys would be for Jeb.

[Wellstone ruled]

18. Just a head fake.

Rove knows were his bread is buttered and it is not going to be Trump. This is one of many RNC false flag operations,do you think for one minute the Chamber of Commerce or the Adelson-Wynn-Katz Group as well as the Wall Street crowd going to back this Idiot. Not. It is all about John Ellis Bush and that is all folks.

11. It's like the Hydra

Cut off one head and two more spring up in its place.

[Rex]

13. Trump. He has his racist pulse on the racist GOP base.

The base LOVED it when he insulted Jeb and his family. I am beginning to think the GOP dinosaurs don't realize what Trump is yet.

[Matrosov]

19. It's a runaway train

The problems for the GOP is that it spent eons cultivating the crazies part of their base. People like Limbaugh have been exploiting this for their financial gain and have riled up that part of the base even more in the process.

It has essentially been another form of the Red Scare. Instead of fearing socialists and communists now, it's grown to include minorities, the LGBT community, foreigners, and non-Christians.

Now these crazies are out of control. I don't think Trump is one of them, even if he is speaking directly to them. He's an opportunist who understands that pandering to the most excitable of the bunch will provide him with the best poll numbers.

The GOP has lots control of its creation.

20. Alex Jones has influence than Limbaugh does. And that's scary to think about.

[Exilednight]

21. Limbaugh lost his influence years ago. He's

A bandwagon jumper of the first type. If America lost it's collective marbles and insanely elected trump, Rush would be the first to shout out his support and how Dems lost the White House and that a new day shines on America.

Rush is a lot of things, but most of all he's predictable.
