| Rush: Pub Establishment Will Vote For the Beest Over Trump In Order To Keep Power |
| 2016-04-20 |
| [Daily Caller] Rush Limbaugh says that instead of voting for Donald Trump, "The Republican establishment is prepared to vote for Hillary Clinton if it means holding onto their fiefdoms." During "The Rush Limbaugh Show" on Monday, Limbaugh said, "The Republican Party is prepared, if Ted Cruz gets the nomination, to not care whether he wins or loses." Reiterating a question that he received from a caller, Limbaugh said, "If the guy gets close to 1,237 but still has the majority in delegates, and they take the nomination away from him, we’re gonna lose the voters, right? What’s gonna happen? Folks -- Patience. Patience, Rush. The Republican establishment is prepared to vote for Hillary Clinton if it means holding onto their fiefdoms." Later Limbaugh argued, "In fact, if Ted Cruz is the nominee and loses the general, the party will be happy. They’ll be able to blame the loss on conservatives and conservatism and be done -- once and for all -- with conservatism in the party." |

| #13 If Hillary gets indicted, it's because O slipped the dogs. I've not seen any polling on Donald v. Michelle. |

| #12 Trumps negatives are sky high, and that's before the dominant progressive media starts its dirt dump and hatchet jobs on him. Trump is dead meat, anyone thinking otherwise is delusional. The thing is he might still win, because: What happens if Hillary locks up the Dem nomination and sails thru a very divisive convention, and by some miracle, gets indicted? Does whoever her VP is become the nominee on the ballot? Elizabeth Warren perhaps. Then again, in that scenario, Cruz could win too - and unlike Trump he would truly wreak havoc upon the beltway leeches and power brokers who hate him so much for that very reason. He actually believes in smaller government and Constitutionalism. Whats the likelihood of the government being force to act against Hillary? The Obama corrupt justice department sure isnt going to do it on its own. Congress does a Special Prosecutor? |

| #11 ..and most likely so is Trump at sometime or someplace, but as the GOPe chimes, he did it "by the rules", otherwise an 'outsider' like him would have already been nailed. |

| #9 I saw a headline that predicts Bernie supporters will vote for Trump because they think that Hillary is crooked. |

| #8 If you can't get them one way, get them another. Vote for Bernie. |

| #7 Time for a third party. Pull the conservatives from both parties. I think moderates from both side would join to crush the extreme leaders of both parties |

| #6 Or, as Mrs. Bobby says, "I'm more afraid of Cruz than Trump because I'm afraid Cruz really means what he says!" How refreshing! |

| #5 My point is, I suspect Trump would continue the gravy train as far as Congress is concerned. |

| #4 They oppose the Donald because he might actually win the General. I'm not saying that Ted wouldn't but the Don has a greater chance simply by name recognition and the Establishment has been dragging Ted's name thru the muck for years simply because he is a true conservative (unlike Trump). If the establishment can't get it's 'man' in there (Jeb for example) then they would rather have Hillary (or even Bernie) as long as the gravy train keeps running on time. |

| #3 Yet if Trump wins they'll probably continue along with the crony capitalism that has made them all rich. So you have to wonder why they oppose the Donald so strongly, perhaps they fear they'll stop being invited to the real dirty parties the Democrats throw.. |

| #2 They would rather lose the presidency than lose their power. This is what the rot has done. The GOP is dead, it just hasnt stopped moving yet. |

| #1 They’ll be able to blame the loss on conservatives and conservatism and be done -- once and for all -- with conservatism in the party. Cause conservatives have held their nose for two decades voting for the establishment's nominee. That's how much respect you got in return. |
