As you know, on yesterday\u2019s program, it was either a caller here or something I was reading in the news, something that happened on the program, I just reacted in a semi-visceral way to the idea that all of a sudden Marco Rubio has become this establishment candidate, which to me means that he\u2019s a RINO, a moderate Republican tending toward even maybe a liberal Republican and all that.  And that\u2019s just not who Marco Rubio is, to me. <\/p>\n<p>I think I made the point analyzing the results in Iowa that Rubio is heavily influenced by Reagan, as was Ted Cruz, as was Dr. Carson.  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4303\">Three of the four top finishers in Iowa<\/a> &#8212; and I think it\u2019s momentous.  I think it\u2019s remarkable.  &#8216;Cause the Republican Party establishment they are trying to tie Rubio to is actually the group that wants to get rid of Reagan and Reagan influences, the Reagan fetish, the era of Reagan is over.  And I think Rubio\u2019s a Reaganite. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117405\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marco-Rubio-Flag.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Rubio is somebody whose life story and ideology are much closer to Reagan than, say, a Mitt Romney or a McCain or take your pick of whoever, Bob Dole, the establishment people happen to love.  And I know that a lot of people are very nervous about Marco Rubio because of the Gang of Eight and Rubio\u2019s out there saying (paraphrasing), &#8220;I don\u2019t think we have enough support in our party alone to get elected president.  We\u2019re gonna have to branch out.&#8221;  Some people look at Rubio as an interventionist in foreign policy, which, to them, means globalist. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>I understand the fears people have of Rubio.  And I understand the conservative contrasts that can be made between Rubio and Cruz.  There\u2019s no question that you can make that contrast, that one, Cruz is top to bottom, checkmark after checkmark after checkmark no doubt is Ted Cruz a conservative.  I understand Rubio\u2019s given people reason to be less confident, Gang of Eight bill alone, the argument over whether or not he does favor ultimately, at the end of everything, amnesty.  I understand all of that. <\/p>\n<p>I would, too.  If the New York Times came out and said this is the best talk show in the country, I would panic.  I would think it\u2019s over.  I would say, &#8220;What am I doing wrong?&#8221;  That\u2019s exactly right.  If the New York Times came out and started treating me the way they treat &#8212; I don\u2019t know, take your pick of any liberal personality or actor, if they started treating me that way, I\u2019d say what in the world did I do wrong?  I would think it is about over if I\u2019m being praised by the New York Times.  That\u2019s exactly damn right. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4303\"><img id=\"eZObject_117428\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ReaganButtons1-b.jpg\"\/><\/a>Look, I\u2019m walking on eggshells all day today.  I\u2019m trying not to crack the eggs.  But, friends, I just, at some point I know we need to run against the establishment.  I\u2019m leading the charge.  But Marco Rubio ain\u2019t them.  Now, I don\u2019t doubt that they are trying to make him them.  I don\u2019t doubt that they\u2019re putting pressure on him.  They don\u2019t have anywhere else to go. <\/p>\n<p>Their guy isn\u2019t gonna go anywhere.  Their guy is Jeb.  Then their next guy is Christie.  They\u2019re not going anywhere.  They\u2019ve gotta find somebody.  And they\u2019re glomming on to Rubio.  But let me tell you something.  You know what really made it reality for me? I\u2019m listening to people analyze Iowa, and they\u2019re tabulating the votes by percentage and leaving Rubio out when discussing the percentage of the Iowa caucus vote that went to conservatives.  <\/p>\n<p>And they would say something like, &#8220;If you look at it, 51% of the caucus-goers in Iowa tended to conservative.&#8221;  That would be the total of Cruz and Carson, and somehow Rubio got left out of that.  Which&#8230; That\u2019s what made me start scratching my head.  &#8220;How can you not count the support that Rubio got?&#8221;  Rubio, in many people\u2019s minds, is a conservative.  He clearly is not a RINO.  He\u2019s not the kind of Republican you think of when you hear &#8220;establishment Republican.&#8221;  To me, anyway. <\/p>\n<p>And so I think you have to add the votes that Rubio got, the percentage that Rubio got, and if you do that, you\u2019re well over 60% of the Hawkeye Cauci electorate that chose conservatism.  Trump, you would not throw in that mix.  Trump himself doesn\u2019t want to be identified that way, or it\u2019s not that he doesn\u2019t want to be, but that\u2019s not his&#8230; It\u2019s not the angle from which he\u2019s coming.  That\u2019s the only point that I was trying to make here.  We have Politico story here.  &#8220;GOP Establishment Rallies Behind Rubio &#8212; Top Republicans are urging several of his rivals to drop out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4298\"><img id=\"eZObject_117426\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RubioConservatism.jpg\"\/><\/a>And from Breitbart: &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/02\/02\/republican-establishment-candidates-go-full-throttle-after-rubio-in-new-hampshire\/\">Republican Establishment Candidates Go Full-Throttle After Rubio in New Hampshire<\/a> &#8212; Republican establishment presidential candidates Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and Chris Christie have focused their fire on as part of the GOP nominees\u00c2\u2019 campaign to&#8230;&#8221; This is all about a quest for money.  The donor class of this&#8230; I understand that. But when you get down to discussing ideology? I don\u2019t know, folks.  I don\u2019t know how else to say it.  I know Rubio.  I don\u2019t know these people intimately well. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not what you would call best friends with them, but I know them.  I\u2019ve spent a lot of time with them, a lot of time talking to them about any number of things, not just their careers and not just politics.  But whereas Jeb Bush, I would have no qualm with anybody describing Jeb as establishment.  He is the definition of it.  He is the poster boy this year.  I think the establishment really has nowhere to go.  They\u2019ve gotta go get somebody here.  Everyone in this race that the establishment&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>By that I mean the RNC, the GOP, the elites, inside-the-Beltway cadre, whatever. If they had their druthers, it would be Jeb, and then after that it would be Christie, and after that it would be&#8230; I mean, some of them might even want to glom onto Kasich.  But Rubio is the last chance they got to have a horse in the game.  I don\u2019t know if Rubio wants to take it and run with it as that, but I\u2019m just talking about in a vacuum.  Vacuums don\u2019t exist. But Rubio just, as he stands and is.  I listened to his speech after the Iowa caucus.<\/p>\n<p>I did not hear somebody embarrassed of or afraid of conservatism, conservative ideology.  I heard somebody, on the contrary, who understands it, who can articulate it cheerfully, happily, confidently.  The idea to peg this guy as an establishment type, knowing what that really means, is just something that doesn\u2019t compute with me.  But I\u2019m not even finished with this.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Linda in Tampa.  I want to squeeze a phone call in here before the half hour expires.  How are you, Linda?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Nice talking to you.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117430\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/507342208_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Same here.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  The sad thing is, I\u2019m gonna have disagree with you.  I can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (sigh)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But on Rubio, I disagree.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I think he\u2019s nothing more than an opportunist who will say and do whatever it takes to get elected. When he was testing the waters here in Florida for his Senate run, we held a meet-and-greet for him with lots of grassroots in attendance.  He introduced himself and immediately started in on the immigration plans he had.  And, you know, &#8220;out of the shadows,&#8221; &#8220;pathway to citizenship,&#8221; all that stuff. <\/p>\n<p>We all rose up and let him know that we did not approve; we were not interested in that. He said he heard us, he understood, and a lot of us went out of our way, did everything we could for him to get him elected. He got to DC and the first thing he did? Gang of Eight.  Now we\u2019re hearing the same slick talk and speeches that he said in Florida, and we think amnesty has always been his first priority.  And now we find out there\u2019s been over two dozen immigration enforcement plans introduced up in Washington, and he has not cosponsored even one.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  I\u2019m out of time.  The guy\u2019s horrible. The guy\u2019s rotten. All right. Fine.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I want to apologize to the last caller.  Linda, it was just a quick stab at humor.  I had five seconds left when you finished.  I was not trying to be flippant and not take your comments seriously.  I do take your comments seriously. In fact, you expressed them fabulously well.  You didn\u2019t hesitate or stutter or pause at any point.  I don\u2019t doubt you.  I\u2019m not saying Marco Rubio is perfect.  I\u2019m just saying that I do not believe that Marco Rubio is representative of what we all mean when we talk about &#8220;the establishment.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I know he\u2019s got a lot of things to explain on immigration and amnesty.  I know it\u2019s something he may never be able to get past because the issue is too important and people don\u2019t want to take a chance on it.  I understand that.  But I\u2019m not&#8230; I just don\u2019t want to sit by&#8230; I don\u2019t like throwing people overboard.  I don\u2019t like throwing people out and getting rid of them on the basis that somehow they\u2019re impure.  The guy is not a liberal! He\u2019s not a squish moderate.  He\u2019s not the kind of person that\u2019s responsible for the messes we\u2019re in.<\/p>\n<p>Not even close. <\/p>\n<p>But I also am not seeking perfection because, aside from me, it doesn\u2019t exist.  And I say that flippantly with attempted humor, too.  I watch the forces here that are attempting to take Rubio and plug him into that hole.  I don\u2019t think he\u2019s seeking it.  Look, I had a conversation with him Monday morning for a half hour here, and I asked him if I could talk about the conversation.  He said I could.  And he didn\u2019t put anything off the record or any disclaimers.  One thing he told me was how frustrating it is to be in the Senate, and I\u2019ve heard the exact thing from Ted Cruz. <\/p>\n<p>Not word-for-word, but thematically I\u2019ve heard the same thing, how frustrating it is that the only thing anybody in the Senate cares about from morning to night is reelection and maintaining their position.  He said, &#8220;I\u2019m not staying there.  I\u2019m out.  If I don\u2019t win the presidency, I\u2019m going to the private sector. Not politics.  I don\u2019t want to stay in the Senate 30 years. I don\u2019t want to have to stay there that long to acquire any power.  The place is just not built for somebody that wants to move as quickly as I do.&#8221; It\u2019s what he told me.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there isn\u2019t an establishment person in the world that wants out of it.  There isn\u2019t an establishment power broker that wants out. The reason for their existence is to be in the club and to climb the ladder of success in the club and to be anointed by your betters and elders in the club and be given a hand up.  And Cruz has told me the same thing.  Cruz has talked about it publicly.  Cruz took it public with his direct criticism of McConnell and the claim that McConnell lied to his face about a number of things.  They can\u2019t get anything done there. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117432\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RubioFamily.jpg\"\/><BR\/>They can\u2019t get anything done there as conservatives because the place doesn\u2019t have very many.  But besides that, it doesn\u2019t have an agenda anyway, other than self-preservation. So they said.  Both of them have said this to me, and they\u2019re not the only ones.  I\u2019ve heard it from members of Congress.  The Republican freshman class of 1994? Those are the people that made me an honorary member.  Within, what was it, four terms, they were all gone?  They were all dynamic private sector successes, and they showed up with fire in the belly and they were gonna reform the place &#8211;and after two terms, they got out.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Allen West.  I remember being at a cocktail party in Washington after a very important vote when Allen West was serving in his first term.  And he shows up just beat up.  He\u2019d been told by whoever runs the House, &#8220;You Tea Party guys? You\u2019re nothing! You don\u2019t get a vote unless you vote the way we want.&#8221;  He said, &#8220;It\u2019s just&#8230;&#8221; They show up eager. They show up with fire in the belly, they show up motivated and inspired, and they get beat down and beat back.  And it\u2019s not that they don\u2019t have the stick-to-itiveness.  It\u2019s that the prospect of hanging in there and making change&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thirty years is what Marco Rubio said to me.  That\u2019s how long he figures it would take him to acquire any kind of genuine power, in terms of the institution &#8212; which, you know, it\u2019s its own universe in there.  He did not sound like a guy who can\u2019t wait to be adopted by the establishment.  He didn\u2019t sound like a guy who can\u2019t wait to do their bidding.  And every time I\u2019ve spoken with him, he has sounded like he\u2019s talking to me. It\u2019s like I\u2019m talking to myself.  I don\u2019t know what else to tell you.  Now, I have a piece here, David French, National Review.  This is from yesterday. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/430704\/marco-rubio-and-different-definitions-establishment\">Marco Rubio and the Difference Between Being &#8216;Establishment\u2019 and Someone Establishment Voters Can Support<\/a>.&#8221; Here\u2019s his take on it: &#8220;&#8216;Let\u2019s begin with a simple proposition &#8212; unless a candidate is seeking to fundamentally transform the GOP coalition (see, for example, Donald Trump), then winning a general election means uniting every GOP constituency under one banner, and happily so. Thus, we want a candidate whom establishment voters will want to support, along with populists, Tea Party conservatives, and every other wing of the GOP. It\u2019s one thing to campaign against establishment politicians. It\u2019s another thing entirely to shun establishment voters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>French\u2019s point is: Throw the establishment politicians out left and right, but you can\u2019t throw away their voters, even though they will throw us away.  Establishment people will throw conservative voters over left and right.  In fact, they can\u2019t wait to do it.  So don\u2019t think I\u2019m naive about anything here.  French writes, &#8220;[T]his brings me to the persistent allegation that Marco Rubio is nothing but yet another &#8216;GOPe\u2019 stooge, a loser in the Dole\/McCain\/Romney mold and the tool of the Washington political class. As I\u2019ve noted before &#8212; along with my colleague Jim Geraghty &#8212; in many ways Rubio is an odd fit for the &#8216;establishment\u2019 charge.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117438\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rubio-2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;After all, he\u2019s the original Tea Party senator who [beat] Charlie Crist, he\u2019s been the target of tens of millions of dollars of negative ads from the ultimate establishment candidate, Jeb Bush, and his voting record &#8212; with the notable exception of the Gang of 8 &#8212; has been not just reliably conservative, but extraordinarily so. Indeed, [Rubio]\u2019s the architect of the single-most effective legislative assault against Obamacare since its passage.&#8221; He says, &#8220;There is a difference between an establishment candidate and a candidate whom establishment voters can happily support.&#8221; David French, National Review writer, in his view, &#8220;Rubio is the latter. &#8230; a candidate whom establishment voters can happily support.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Now, that, I can imagine, would scare a lot &#8212; &#8220;We don\u2019t want somebody the establishment likes, Rush, don\u2019t you get it?&#8221;  We\u2019re talking about establishment voters out there, not in Washington.  We\u2019re not talking about the donor class.  We\u2019re talking about your daily, regular, run-of-the-mill GOP registered voters.  Rubio is the latter.  &#8220;That\u2019s why talking heads speak of Rubio filling the &#8216;establishment lane\u2019 going forward. And that\u2019s why the Bush Super PAC is spending tens of millions of the Republican donor class\u2019s money attacking Rubio. If a Tea Party senator can fill the establishment lane, then millions of establishment voters are moving right, and the traditional political class truly is losing its influence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is opinion.  You may think it\u2019s all wet.  You may think, &#8220;My God, Rush, I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re falling for this.  There\u2019s no difference in an establishment voter and an establishment politician.&#8221;  Well, Mr. French thinks there is.  By no means through with this, folks.  And there will be many more phone calls on this, and again, I didn\u2019t mean to shut Linda out or be flippant.  I had three seconds to come up with a quick reply, so I thought I would let her think she convinced me.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, if some of you are saying, &#8220;Well, that explains it.  Rubio called Rush on Monday.&#8221;  Folks, they all call, I talk to them all.  You think that, &#8220;No wonder Rush is supporting Rubio.  Rubio called him.&#8221;  They all do.  I just never talk about it because most of the time it\u2019s off the record.  But I asked Senator Rubio specifically if I could mention this, and he said, yeah.
