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, there’s 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.

1. Is he still alive?

I thought his own bile would have poisoned him by now.

[forest444]

2. I know. It's ridiculous.

What a waste of good Irish genes, that fat bastard.

6. Is the GOP still taking orders from this limp-d*ck?

He may have an immunity to his toxin, like rattlesnakes have to their own venom. (Not that I would EVER compare Rush*t to a rattlesnake, which controls pests and is much higher on the tree of life than that species of pond-scum, and not nearly as slimy....)

13. Snakes aren't slimy. Be nice.

[lastlib]

16. I know--not at all like Limpd*ck.

(I thought I was being nice)

[silvershadow]

3. He just wanted the plant a sound bite with Romney and Reagan in the same sentence.

As horrible as Reagan was, he looks like a leftist compared to Romney, who will NEVER be President.

4. Trump, Limbaugh, Beck

There's enough gas in just those three bags alone to lift the earth out of its orbit.

[lastlib]

7. Astronomers say that the gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.....

I say they're Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and Coulter--we can throw in Trump, too.

[sulphurdunn]

9. That's a virtual gas giant

solar system. I'd like to put them somewhere in orbit out beyond Pluto.

[lastlib]

15. The Kuiper Belt wouldn't go around that......

[underpants]

5. Limbaugh has absolutely no knowledge of the political process

None.

[truthisfreedom]

8. Drug addicts are not interesting to me.

[bemildred]

10. I saw Trump compared to Jesus today, seriously. nt

[houston16revival]

11. Delusions

Rush sees Mittler

Quick grab a fly swatter

[erpowers]

12. He Has No Principles

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. Who is to say what is a "true conservative"? The Base or The National Review?

The Republican leadership has happily used racial code words and dog whistles to energize its base. Heck, innuendos about race are a common feature of Rush Limbaugh's show, and when folks think conservative, you often think of Rush.

[blackspade]

14. WTF is he fucking talking about? Who tried to 'deny' Reagan?

Flush is so full of shit as usual.....

[jmowreader]

18. Denying Reagan...that would be GOOD, right?

[TomCADem]

19. Among the GOP, Denying Reagan...

...is akin to denying that Jesus is the messiah. Still, to compare Trump to Reagan is pretty out there.
