Rush Limbaugh Pressed About His Stance On Trump, Finally Gives His Answer

Christy Lee Parker Rush Limbaugh is an outspoken conservative personality. However, one caller felt he was too quiet on the topic of GOP front-runner Donald Trump and demanded to know why Rush isn’t warning his listeners. As the caller continued to press Rush on his stance about the Republican candidate, he finally gave a poignant answer that should open the eyes of many Americans — especially those on the right side of the political aisle.
The caller, only identified as “Terry,” called Rush Limbaugh’s talk show on Thursday, stating she was a “little confused” and began pressuring Rush to answer for not “warning” his audience about what she considers to be the “dangers of a Donald Trump presidency,” The Blaze reports.

After pleasantries were exchanged, Terry laid in to the real reason for her call, as she began, “I’ve been listening to you warn us for years about the Democrats, you say, ‘When you can’t win in the arena of ideas you resort to personal attacks,’ and that’s what Donald Trump does all the time,” according to an online transcript. She continued, pointing out what she sees as abhorrent behavior from Donald Trump, and she questioned whether he’d use “the IRS, the EPA, and the FBI to go after his enemies.”

Rush didn’t seem too worried or impressed, as he simply responded, “Yeah, isn’t it amazing how he gets away with this stuff? Why do you think that is, Terry?” After Terry replied that she did not know, Rush added, “Well, there has to be a reason.”

“Well, there has to be a reason, but we don’t need another know-it-all with a king complex in the White House,” Terry replied. “When asked who he consults on foreign policy, he said himself.” She continued her scathing assessment, saying, “Just like Obama, he always thinks he’s the smartest man in the room.”

Then, Rush’s stance started to slowly reveal itself, as he explained that he read a story which stated some Trump critics would support Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the general election, to which Terry responded, “If they say they’re voting for Hillary, then they are insane.”

“Well, yes. But that’s my point,” Rush said. “We’re getting a little bit off the path of your question. I’m like you, I’m asking. Look, you say I’m not condemning. All kinds of people are,” Rush tried to explain, but the answer wasn’t satisfying Terry, as she asked him yet again why he’s not condemning Trump’s behavior.

“I don’t think it needs to be. It speaks for itself,” Rush explained. “There’s a lot of people that don’t understand liberalism, Terry, there are a lot of people that I think, by definition, still need to be informed and educated that it isn’t the soft, loving, compassionate stuff that it’s portrayed to be. Trump speaks for himself. Who Trump is and what he’s doing is not a mystery to anybody. It’s the exact opposite of a mystery. It’s in your face.”

Terry was still confused by Rush’s behavior and his answer, as she explained, “But right now we have a candidate with all the qualities that you said for years that you wanted, and he’s a real conservative, and you’ve said real conservatives can win. But I hear you every day just talking about both sides, Trump and Ted Cruz, like you’re a disinterested observer.”

Rush attempted to correct Terry, “No, not correct. I talk about the news here,” he said. “I don’t do topics, and I don’t do causes. Yesterday’s entire first two hours was about Ted Cruz. It was in total support. It was defining what Cruz was doing. It was defending him.”

Terry still wasn’t sold, and after acknowledging that she’s never heard Rush say anything bad about Ted Cruz, she again pressed Rush about his warnings against the Democrats every day, but lack of such caution when it comes to Donald Trump, demanding to know, “Why aren’t you warning us? Why aren’t you warning people?”

That’s the moment Rush Limbaugh put all on the line regarding his stance, where Donald Trump is concerned, and it’s an answer ever right-wing conservative should carefully ponder.

“Because I’m not voting for Hillary,” he replied. “If Trump’s the nominee I’m voting for him.”

Rush elaborated, stating that the Democratic Party is “the most destructive force in this country today” and that he would not vote for Hillary “no matter what.” He explained, “Daffy Duck could be our nominee. He gets my vote. I am not voting for Hillary or Bernie or Biden or whoever ends up being the nominee, pure and simple.”

Rush makes an excellent point, and it should cause all those slinging mud on the right to pause and think. What happens if your guy isn’t the nominee? Refusing to vote for the Republican nominee, whoever it may be, is a vote for the Democrat nominee. Period. Even if I’m not thrilled about the current Republican candidates, I can guarantee they are better than the criminal or communist the Democrats are offering to the American people. So, like Rush, the Republican nominee will get my vote.

There’s one thing the political right does wrong — we are our own worst enemies in an election. Independents and those on the fence don’t need to wait for the Democrat nominee to tear apart our candidate leading up to the general election. We’ve already done it for them during the primaries. How else can you explain losing to Barack Obama not once, but twice? We certainly didn’t help our chances.
