Rush is not stupid. Neither is Palin or Trump-They know how to make bigot dollars because hatred and stupidity sells. Trump even tells them they're stupid and they cheer.
Limbaugh: Kasich, GOP establishment 'truly delusional'
'This operation is theirs. It has been their life'
In the wake of Tuesdays e******n results, radio host Rush Limbaugh is calling John Kasich and those in the Republican Party establishment truly delusional for working to ensure the Ohio governor secures the GOP nomination at a contested convention this summer.
Kasich scored his sole primary victory by winning his home state Tuesday, and then Wednesday morning appeared by phone on NBCs Today show to proffer his analysis of the win:
Neither Cruz nor Trump can win the general e******n, Kasich said. You know they cant come into Ohio with the philosophies they have and win. If you cant win Ohio, you cant be president.
Nobodys gonna get enough delegates to win at the convention. Everyones gonna fall short, and thats what was so big about Ohio. Im not out to stop Donald Trump or stop anybody else. By winning yesterday in Ohio, Ive dealt him a very, very, big blow to being able to have the number of delegates [to secure the nomination].
Hillary for prosecution, not president! Join the sizzling campaign to put Mrs. Clinton where she really belongs
An incredulous Limbaugh immediately commented on Kasich during his national broadcast Wednesday:
What the hell are you talking? What do you mean, Im not out to stop Donald Trump or anyone else, and then, By winning yesterday, Ive dealt him a very, very, big blow? Were stuck in the middle of a bunch of people here who are truly delusional.
Limbaugh noted the powers that be who run the Republican Party will stop at nothing to prevent Trump or even Sen. Ted Cruz from becoming the partys standard-bearer in the November p**********l e******n.

We had Republican establishment types promoting John Kasich on CNN and on Fox last night, because John Kasich represents the last stand, the last chance theyve got, he explained.
The wise men and the smart money says that there is no way that the powers that be will deny Trump or Cruz once we get to Cleveland. They just wont do it. It cant happen. It wont happen. Too many people will have v**ed. And Im sorry, folks, I dont think thats automatic because of the way I know the people in the Republican establishment that we are all talking about here.
This crowd is very stubborn. They have not come to grips with whats happened to them here. They by no means have accepted that the top two delegate getters are outsiders and are not part of the Republican Party ranking establishment in any way.
And the reason they havent come to grips with it is that they dont want to. This operation is theirs. It has been their life. They trained for it in college. They trained for it with family connections. They trained for it, they got involved in it, and they climbed the ladder within it from the moment of young adulthood, those that wanted to be in it that early.
Some have been recruited, of course, over the years because theyve recently acquired a lot of money and therefore have influence. But for the most part these are lifers. They fear losing their virtual professional existence. They fear losing their self-worth, the thing that gives them swagger. The thing that validates their success is their position in this club, the establishment, the Republican Party, and in fact the entire Washington establishment.
Theyre not just gonna let some outsiders come in and take it. It just isnt going to happen. The thing to keep in mind here, these people to whom Im referring, they have all of this whether the party wins or loses e******ns. Thats the key. They have all of the perks and the power, the lifestyles, the connections, even if they lose e******ns. As long as they run the party, as long as they run their part of the, quote, unquote, establishment. They fear losing their standing in this club more than they fear the party losing the presidency or any other e******n.
And lets talk about other members of the establishment. Lets talk about other conservative media types. How about the people who and this is not personal. But how about the people whose very lives are dev**ed to the intellectual pursuit of conservatism, supposedly? They may have magazines. They may be at think tanks. They may be policy aides. They might be legislative aides. But their existence is to continue to write about the superiority and the preferability of conservatism. Thats the role they play in this whole arrangement. Thats the reason for their existence. Thats what gives them their swagger. They are considered leading opinion makers and opinion leaders. They are considered superior intellects when it comes to the intellectual pursuits of conservatism.
What is the reason for their existence if Trump wins the White House? The think-tank people, what would be the point? Trump has not welcomed them, they havent welcomed Trump, Trump is not going to be identified as a movement conservative who is going to be seeking the advice of these people. You think theyre not paranoid? Their whole lives have been rooted and based on that identity. Theyre the go-to guys to explain the conservative view of the Middle East. They are the go to guys to explain the conservative view of Putin and the Ukraine and China and wh**ever. And now theyre on the outs because nobody will be interested. Theoretically.
Now, they could make a move here and try to sidle up to Trump if and when the day comes, but they dont want that to happen. Theyre scared. I mean, their identities, their self-worth, theyre just not going to peacefully let all this happen.
