\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Grab a quick phone call here in the first hour. We\u2019ll go to Greg in the steel city. Greg in Pittsburgh. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m good. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, with Mr. Trump\u2019s latest victory last night, I think the Republican voters have to start getting in the mind-set of not so much as, you know, Trump, you like what he says and kind of entertaining and spontaneous and however crudely, you know, during his rallies. I think we have to start looking at him in the Oval Office, as president. It\u2019s all good and well to reject the Republican establishment I think. Many, many people understand that. But can you picture a President Trump representing the country, like at a state funeral, representing the high —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Greg, it\u2019s interesting that you — \u2019cause Trump himself addressed this on the NBC Nightly News<\/a>. I\u2019m looking at the clock. We can squeeze these in, but I\u2019m gonna have to play them again to analyze \u2019em. Trump was asked by Lester Holt last night, how different a Trump presidency would be from a Trump campaign. That\u2019s essentially what the question was. <\/line><\/p>\n

HOLT: Last night you used a pretty vulgar term, repeating something someone in the crowd had said. And I\u2019m wondering to myself, would you say that as president of the United States —<\/p>\n

TRUMP: No.<\/p>\n

HOLT: — with that seal on the podium? <\/p>\n

TRUMP: Much different. Much different.<\/p>\n

HOLT: So are you gonna be a different guy as president than the one we see out here?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: I went to the best school; I was a good student; I have an uncle who was, you know, one of the top, top professors at MIT. I mean, there\u2019s a good gene poll right there. I have to do what I have to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “So Donald, you\u2019re saying this is an act?”<\/p>\n

TRUMP: No, it\u2019s not an act. Last night I had thousands of people, we had a great time, and it wasn\u2019t my word; it was a word that a woman kept shouting, and I repeated it. I only repeated the word. And the place was wild. Standing ovation, everybody —<\/p>\n

HOLT: But that doesn\u2019t mean it was in good taste.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Well, no, but I\u2019ll tell you what. When you\u2019re president or if you\u2019re about to be president, you would act differently. It\u2019s not a question of acting. I want to be different. You\u2019re being hit from 15 different sides. I want to be different. When you\u2019re president, you act in a different way, there\u2019s no question about that. And I would do that.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Okay. I don\u2019t have time to get into it now, but he\u2019s gonna be different. You have to be, you have to be different when you\u2019re president. Donald Trump. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Sarah in Darnestown, Maryland. Great to have you. Appreciate your patience, and hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, great to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I agree with your point earlier that the Republicans have missed a huge opportunity, but I just think Trump is not the answer, really for two main reasons. One, he\u2019s not a conservative. And I think after Mitt lost we all spent so much time reflecting and saying, “Well, that\u2019s what we got for not electing a conservative.” And I think the other main problem is his demeanor. It\u2019s just not presidential. I mean, we\u2019ve spent years still revisiting Clinton and what a disaster that was. And I just think it would be such a mistake for the Republicans to elect someone or nominate someone who\u2019s so boorish and classless and have him associated with the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And I want you to keep listening because in the next hour we\u2019re gonna gets back to these two Trump sound bites where he\u2019s asked about this and he admits that it\u2019s all gonna change when he becomes president, that there\u2019s a different set of requirements when you\u2019re running and you\u2019re campaigning in your primaries, but when you actually win the whole thing and become president, you gotta change; and he assures people he\u2019s going to change. It was a question specifically related to the kitty cat name that his female audience member called Cruz. <\/p>\n

But, you know, this conservative angle, your question about Romney is good, but here\u2019s the difference. I know that it\u2019s true, we had a bunch of Republicans sit home in 2012 because Romney wasn\u2019t conservative enough, and you\u2019re asking what about Trump. I think a lot of conservatives — and don\u2019t forget, look, this is gonna irritate a lot of people, but you look at the exit polling and how it\u2019s backed up by the actual returns in New Hampshire, conservatives are not the majority of Trump\u2019s coalition. They are not. <\/line><\/p>\n

He\u2019s got a coalition made up of virtually every group of people and every demographic and every nationality, every ethnicity. And the conservatives that are in his — I think it\u2019s not about the conservatism anymore to them. They\u2019re saying, “What good has all this conservatism done us anyway?” Now, Sarah, if you have further questions, hang on. I\u2019ll be glad to answer \u2019em. I just am out of time right now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
