You\u2019re next.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. I know how to beat Trump. You\u2019ve got to use his own tactics. Ted Cruz\u2019s main selling point is his integrity. So what\u2019s Trump do? Calls him a liar, liar, liar. Well, what Cruz should say is: &#8220;How can we trust you to make America win again when you\u2019re such a loser? Go on and sue, you loser.&#8221; There\u2019s countless ways to characterize Trump as a loser. You just talked about it. His backtracking on calling Bush a liar. There\u2019s so many ways. He lost to the little old lady in Atlantic City! He\u2019s been bankrupt. He\u2019s been divorced. He\u2019s flip flopped. When you were for abortion, now you\u2019re not for abortion, were you a loser then or are you a loser now? Countless ways to go after him, and that would piss him off. And, you know, that\u2019s, I think, the way to do it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What\u2019s the task at hand? The task at hand is to, what, take some of Trump\u2019s support?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_118274\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzTrumpDebate_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER: Is to take Trump out.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no, wait.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: To get some of his voters to cash out.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You think you\u2019re going to take Trump voters and convince them not to support him by calling him a loser?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He\u2019s a loser every which way you look at it. I mean, whether &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no. Listen. You\u2019ve got Trump supporters; you know who they are. They\u2019re committed to the guy. Do you think by Ted Cruz running around calling him a &#8220;loser,&#8221; that you think he could convince Trump supporters to abandon him?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I think somehow, some way reasonable doubt has to put in people\u2019s mind because with him just saying, &#8220;I\u2019m going to make America win again,&#8221; is working. So somehow there has to be reasonable doubt cast upon that.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_118273\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trump-Winning.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: But, no. I\u2019m asking specific: The word &#8220;loser.&#8221; Nobody\u2019s going to associate that word with Trump. Nobody! You\u2019re not going to peel off one Trump supporter by having Cruz running around calling him a loser. If your objective is to tick Trump off, you can do that, maybe. But you\u2019re not&#8230; The objective if you\u2019re Cruz or Rubio, you need Trump supporters to abandon him. And you\u2019re not going to do it by calling him a loser.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>The reason, one of the many, that Trump supporters are locked in, is because to them he\u2019s a winner. And he\u2019s going transfer that winning to the country and transfer that to them. They\u2019re going to become winners! Trump to them represents an era of America that is almost over because it\u2019s been under assault and under attack. I would call it the Era of the Standard Majority. It\u2019s under assault, it\u2019s under attack, and people who have not been in that majority are mad and they want to get rid of it and replace it.<\/p>\n<p>Trump represents that to people who are very much aware of that, and he\u2019s the bulwark. He\u2019s not going to let the Era of the Standard Majority actually be taken away. Calling him a loser&#8230; I\u2019m just trying to help you out here. I know that you love Cruz and you want Cruz to win and you think there\u2019s ammo out there, and there may be. But it does not include calling Trump a loser. In fact, not only are you not going to take votes away, you may solidify the support that he\u2019s got from people already if you use that term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Mike in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Open Line Friday.
