Rush: Trump Tells Establishment to 'Go to Hell'
By Sandy Fitzgerald
Donald Trump is defying "conventional belief" by doubling down and refusing to apologize to Sen. John McCain for comments made over the weekend that at first questioned the senator's reputation as a war hero before saying that he is one, talk show host Rush Limbaugh said Monday.
"The American people haven't seen something like this in a long time," Limbaugh said on his radio program. "They have not seen an embattled public figure stand up, double down, and tell everyone to go to hell."
Limbaugh insisted that he is not a Trump apologist, but said the media and politicians are following a typical trail they use when they want to get rid of a public figure, and the talk show host said a similar pattern is often followed on his own controversial statements.
"Under conventional belief, a public figure makes a politically incorrect statement that offends somebody," said Limbaugh. "The Washington establishment and media react in outrage, and the media replays the offensive comment over and over and over."
Eventually, the establishment "gets together with the media" and all demand the public figure apologize, beg forgiveness, and withdraw from public life and "stay in chagrined irrelevance," said Limbaugh.
"This charade plays whenever this circumstance happens," said Limbaugh, and there is one fatal mistake made, when it is assumed that "the collective outrage of the Washington establishment and the media is reflective of the American people."
He noted that journalist Sharyl Attkisson wrote a "great analysis" of the Saturday incident.
"It is a fact that Trump did not say what he is being reputed to say," said Limbaugh, that "McCain's not a hero, and so forth. Four different times, he said McCain is a war hero."
"Facts don't matter in a circumstance like this," Limbaugh said, but instead, statements are "purposely blurred, lied about or ignored, much like my ill fated commentary on ESPN. Take something that wasn't said and blow it out of proportion."
He also pointed out that Trump said what he did "following McCain's insult of Trump's supporters, calling them 'crazies.' This ticked Trump off, [because] he doesn't want to think they're a bunch of crazed wackos."
But nobody is suggesting McCain apologize, but the media and Washington's establishment are all demanding apologies and saying that Trump's campaign can't survive, as is the usual pattern, said Limbaugh.
Latest News Update
"Except one thing hasn't happened: Trump hasn't apologized," said Limbaugh. "Not only he hasn't, but he doubled down and added to his original criticism."
And the "architects" of the scandal "don't know what to do...the guilty party is begging for forgiveness but Trump has not," he said.
Meanwhile, the outraged reaction takes for granted that the American public will find Trump's words "unpalatable, unforgivable, and unacceptable," said Limbaugh, because the assumption is that media is reflecting public opinion.
But Limbaugh said that didn't happen in his own case and he doesn't think it will happen with Trump either, as the assumption that everybody is outraged "is always erroneous."
"They're doing everything they can to destroy Trump by acting like he's destroying himself with voters," said Limbaugh. "That's what presumes this new political reality, but I don't think that's the case."
He noted that polls will likely come out that will show if Trump was damaged by his words, but the Republicans don't want to be seen as mean people.
"The conventional wisdom is...everybody is outraged the fact that he doesn't have a lot of public humility, that he's a mean guy," said Limbaugh. Meanwhile, McCain has "called tea party people hobbits, crazies."
And, he pointed out that Trump was not the first to question McCain's war service, but when attacks come from the left, "they're warranted because they're nice people, compassionate people."
Unlike others, "Trump is not following the rule that targets are supposed to follow," said Limbaugh. "Targets are supposed to immediately grovel, apologize, say 'I have the utmost respect for Sen. McCain' and everybody cheers because the the target has seen the light. [That] usually means another Republican has been taken out."
"There is an arrogant presumption that the majority of the American people are as outraged as the media," he concluded.

Others have criticized McCain & gotten away with it, but the republicans fear Trump's apparent success in his run for president with his successful polls & so they are out to destroy him. McCain was wrong in calling Trumps followers "crazies" & there in lies the rub. McCain started it & Trumps got carried away ...two wrongs don't make a right, which are the people going to follow?

Trump: 'I Will Say What I Want to Say'
I want to say this.....I am not a person to sugar coat anything to anybody, it's an Achilles Heel of mine, but so what? I am retired military and a Disabled Vet, and yes, just hearing the Donald's remarks at first from a quickie headline did make steam come out of my ears. Look, I made be rough on the edges, but let me read AND view all this in context. I firmly believe Donald Trump put it in his wry and dry sense of humor. As a registered Republican (want to see my card, I have one) he is still my first choice. Sorry to all the others with an (R) behind their name, but this country to put as one hero of mine, General George Scott Patton, needs a "swift kick in the pants." For two election cycles, I was astounded that the majority of voters acted like the animated Minions and voted for our closet Muslim, Chief Executive Occupant who only wants to fulfill his and the Mrs.'s agendas and nothing else. At least he couldn't pull a fast one like Adolph Hitler did and come up with some stupid exemption clause that our Constitution does not have and our checks and balances so far has precluded that idea.
As a result, we have a huge, bloated, inefficient, and self serving executive level bureaucracy that stomps on the very people to whom they are accountable, the citizensof the United States of America.
Let's encourage other to get a bit of thicker skin. Trump would be far better than the career politicians.
