Who told Trump to pay Sam Nunberg to listen to 1000s of hours of talk radio in 2014?

I wish the media would do some homework on Sam Nunberg.

From New York Magazine, Operation Trump, by Gabriel Sherman April 3, 2016

Throughout 2014, the three (Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, and Sam Nunberg) fed Trump strategy memos and political intelligence. “I listened to thousands of hours of talk radio, and he was getting reports from me,” Nunberg recalled. What those reports said was that the GOP base was frothing over a handful of issues including immigration, Obamacare, and Common Core.

They studied talk radio to form their strategy for the primaries, at least.

Limbaugh helped Trump in the primaries by attacking the GOP ‘establishment’ big money candidates Bush, Rubio, etc. He regularly made excuses for Trump. That’s why Trump beat the big money. He is still making excuses for Trump, every day. Limbaugh keeps all the other radio blowhards in line. And together they keep the GOP in line.

Who told Trump to pay Nunberg to listen to “1000s” of hours of talk radio? Who would be able to tell city boy Trump to pay for that?

Most of the most effective Russian trolling piggybacked months and years of talk radio bullshit aimed at Clinton. Some of it was repeated here by trolls and even by regulars.

What better way to coordinate with Kremlin trolling without regular coaching and coordination than  to just follow the talk radio scripts that have worked for years before social media? If they were going to steal the over-50 Republican teabag base from the GOP establishment they would use talk radio, not social media.

Where would a bunch of Russians who didn’t know American politics get their best material from? Why would they just throw a bunch of crap on the social media landscape and hope some of it would stick? What would troll team leaders use to guide their work?

And did the Kremlin figure out years ago how to feed Limbaugh? 

Someone needs to ask Nunberg about studying talk radio in 2014 — that would certainly put the Trump presidential bid back to that point in time, at least.

1. Limbaugh Russian agent??

[certainot]

4. he's the guy who spent three + days selling the "climategate" hoax, based on a russian hack

of east anglia university emails

and that derailed obama for the copenhagen climate conference 2 weeks later in 2009

and that delayed action on climate and every year that's delayed makes putin billions more in oil revenues

he also serves the kochs in that, but would they want limbaugh to spend 2 months pushing the US to default on debt in 2011?

or to destroy the GOP establishment with trump?

2. Good question.

Recommended.

I believe the answer would be Roger Stone -- call him the "missing link." The reason Sam is in a panic is he realizes that the grand jury will focus on Stone on Friday. Stone was (is) Sam's mentor.

5. i was also thinking stone might direct it but who would pay for it?

stone would still have to convince trump to pay for it. 1000's of hours might be an exaggeration but it's still an effort and he pointed to it. stone might direct it but who told stone?

stone has a prev history with talk radio and if he has a prev history with russia that might relate. if the kremlin was going to communicate it would be through a guy like stone

3. Rec'd! Can you imagine? Feeding Limbaugh

would be easy, I imagine.
