It\u2019s a primary campaign.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t tell you how plainly (and multiple times) I made the point yesterday. It\u2019s silly to expect that Trump and Cruz aren\u2019t gonna be critical of each other. There\u2019s no bromance going on here. There\u2019s no united front where these two are not gonna criticize each other. That\u2019s not how this works, \u2019cause only one of them\u2019s gonna win. They both want to win. Criticism. Attacks. All of this is tactical and strategic. You plan it, you come out with the way &#8212; or up with the ways &#8212; you think will be most effective, and you target what you want to go after.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like I say, I think Cruz first started out by saying that Trump\u2019s not a genuine conservative, not a real conservative. And I think he\u2019s gonna give that up. My guess. I\u2019m wild guessing. I haven\u2019t talked to anybody about it. I just think he\u2019s gonna end up going after Trump\u2019s populism. That\u2019s Trump\u2019s hook. That is Trump\u2019s appeal. This is what confounds the GOP. You know, they\u2019re sitting there thinking that conservatives in the Republican Party have all abandoned the party and have gone on over to Trump. That he isn\u2019t it. How many times do we have to say this?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116578\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trump_VS_Cruz-BW-2.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nThe Trump coalition\u2019s made up a whole lot of people, not just conservatives. Twenty percent of it may be Democrat, and an increasing number just beyond that 20% may be Reagan blue-collar Democrat. Then you\u2019ve got some Hispanics (unbelievably to people) and women. The demographics are all covered. The Republican Party\u2019s sitting there thinking that Trump\u2019s support base is all conservative, and it isn\u2019t. So that\u2019s why going after Trump as a legitimate conservative? I don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna work because that\u2019s not his appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s not out there campaigning as a conservative. He\u2019s campaigning out there as a populist. He\u2019s campaigning out there as a guy who\u2019s fed up with whoever it is that\u2019s doing bad and making mistakes and ruining the country, whoever they happen to be and wherever they are. And his support base is made up of people who think, &#8220;Damn right! That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening.&#8221; It\u2019s why I said yesterday, &#8220;You can have a lot of people who are not conservative supporting Trump\u2019s position on immigration and so forth. It\u2019s not uniquely a conservative position, opposition to amnesty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I think Cruz recognizes this. Even if he doesn\u2019t, even if he continues the attack on Trump is not a real conservative, that\u2019s what they decide to do. But the point is these things are gonna happen. There are going to be serious efforts to take the other guy out. It\u2019s politics. This is what happens. And the expectation these guys are joined at the hip here and united in purpose is a big mistake to make. That\u2019s not how this works. There was an indication that that was the way they were behaving, up until Trump lost the lead in Iowa to Cruz.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116575\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrumpCruzRushThought-Trump.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nThat just changed everything about how both decided to conduct their campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is focusing on the fact that everybody hates Cruz. So people came out and said, &#8220;You\u2019re gonna lose some of the conservatives in your base if you go after Cruz that way, because they love Cruz.&#8221; What does Trump do? He doubles down on how much nastier Cruz has become and how many, many more hate Cruz. He\u2019s not backing off from it at all, which ought to illustrate something else. And that\u2019s for all of you people out there waiting for somebody either in the media or in talk radio or somewhere to take Trump out or to take Cruz out or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve gotta get off this idea that people out there &#8212; voters &#8212; are unable to think for themselves. Most people are not sitting around waiting for marching orders. Some, yeah. But most people, at least in this audience, they\u2019re intelligent. They are informed. They know what they think before they turn the radio on. They\u2019re not turning the radio on here to find out what to think. They have their opinion of Trump. They have their opinion of Cruz. If they get mad at me, it\u2019s may be I don\u2019t agree with them. It\u2019s not that I am somehow not being true to myself or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s personal. I\u2019ve always respected the audience, you in this audience as intelligent and informed. I certainly don\u2019t hold you in contempt. I certainly don\u2019t look down on you like the Democrat Party does, or like most of the Washington establishment. So, you know, I\u2019m not under the illusion here that any candidate wins or loses based on me telling you he should win or lose. Now, admittedly there are some people influenced. I\u2019m not gonna deny that, but it\u2019s by no means a majority. And the proof here is Trump. So Trump gets warned by powerful voices in the media.<\/p>\n<p>What does he do?<\/p>\n<p>He doubles down on it.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t back off.<\/p>\n<p>Although the media thinks he has. I read a couple stories: &#8220;Trump stopped mentioned Cruz\u2019s name here ever since Limbaugh piped up!&#8221; Well, I don\u2019t know. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2016\/jan\/18\/trump-ups-ante-everybody-hates-ted-cruz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Washington Times<\/a>: &#8220;Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is stepping up his attacks on [Ted Cruz] declaring on Monday: &#8216;Everybody hates Ted.\u2019 &#8216;He\u2019s very unpopular in Washington,\u2019 Mr. Trump said on &#8216;Fox and Friends. When you have somebody that can\u00c2\u2019t get along with anybody in Washington, you\u00c2\u2019re not going to get deals done,\u2019 Mr. Trump said. &#8216;I mean, you have to get deals done &#8212; we can\u2019t always keep invoking executive orders like Obama does, [because] he can\u2019t get deals.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116591\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cruz-Trump.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nNo, that\u2019s not why he does it. That\u2019s not why Obama does executive orders. Well, he would love for the Congress to go along, but that\u2019s not why he does it. He does it because he\u2019s an Alinskyite. He\u2019s an authoritarian who has been on a mission to transform this country for seven years. He\u2019s got one year left. He\u2019s not doing this \u2019cause he can\u2019t make deals with anybody. He\u2019s not doing it because people won\u2019t cooperate. He\u2019s doing it because this is what he wants to see happen in and to the country. And to hell if people don\u2019t agree with him, even more so he\u2019s gonna do it on his own or find a way.<\/p>\n<p>I was reading my tech blogs last night. I always do this as an escape. It\u2019s my hobby. I ran across a story that Trump is gonna make Apple stop making iPhones and iPads in China. &#8220;Yeah, we\u2019re gonna make Apple make their damn computers in America.&#8221; And it was fascinating reading these little tech bloggers react to that. Most of them hate Trump because they think they should. Most of them chime in. I mean, you talk about a monolithic group of people. They\u2019re all journalists, for one thing. They all think Trump\u2019s a buffoon. They all think he\u2019s insane, a lunatic. They can\u2019t tell you why. They just think that he is.<\/p>\n<p>So when Trump comes along and says he would make Apple manufacture products in the US, it totally escapes these guys that presidents don\u2019t have that kind of power. It totally escapes them that that\u2019s impossible. Trump cannot tell a company, he can\u2019t tell Nabisco where to make Oreos. He can\u2019t tell Ford where to make cars. He can\u2019t tell Apple where to make computers or phones.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he can come up with tax proposals, tariffs, any kind of incentive he might want, but he can\u2019t order it like a king of America could. These guys actually started debating whether or not it\u2019d be a good thing. (laughing) Maybe it would change their minds on supporting Trump \u2019cause wouldn\u2019t it be great if Apple were indeed making phones in America. Just totally escapes them. This is the danger. I mean, with Obama doing what he\u2019s doing, all these young acolytes of Obama think authoritarianism is great. Oh, yeah. If Obama was ordering Apple to make phones in America then they\u2019d probably support that, too, but they don\u2019t get that these things are not &#8212; And Trump knows it, too, if you read further in his comments, he lets it be known that he knows. It\u2019s the way he communicates. It\u2019s the way he sends the signal of what he thinks. He\u2019s decisive and he\u2019s not gonna take any guff.<\/p>\n<p>Washington Post: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/why-so-many-evangelicals-have-faith-in-donald-trump\/2016\/01\/18\/636ce386-bdfd-11e5-83d4-42e3bceea902_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why So Many Evangelicals Have Faith in Donald Trump<\/a>.&#8221; Meanwhile, everybody in the media is trying to make fun of Trump \u2019cause they think he botched the biblical scripture yesterday at Liberty University.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ted Cruz, for his part, punching back at Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ted Cruz is continuing to throw punches at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, telling reporters in New Hampshire on Monday that Trump is different than President Ronald Reagan, but also adding that he won\u00c2\u2019t engage in attacks on the campaign trail. &#8216;Donald did an interview where he described that he thinks that he\u00c2\u2019s bigger than Ronald Reagan &#8212; I think the American people will make that determination,\u2019 Cruz reportedly told reporters while campaigning in New Hampshire on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cruz challenged: I would note that Ronald Reagan spent decades as a principled conservative, spent decades traveling the country sharing his conservative, free-market views [and] defending the Constitution. Ronald Reagan did not spend the first 60 years of his life supporting Democratic politicians, advocating for big government politics, supporting things like the big bank bailouts, supporting things like expanding Obamacare to turn it into socialized medicine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That\u00c2\u2019s not what Ronald Reagan did,\u2019 Cruz stated. &#8216;Ronald Reagan was a voice of consistency, and I\u00c2\u2019m pretty sure that Ronald Reagan didn\u00c2\u2019t write checks and support Democratic politicians like Andrew Cuomo, like Anthony Weiner, like Hillary Clinton. I\u00c2\u2019m pretty sure Ronald Reagan didn\u00c2\u2019t write a huge check to Rahm Emanuel in December of 2010 after the big Tea Party wave.'&#8221; Which is all true. But the point that Cruz goes on to make is he says he thinks that Trump is rattled for the first time. He thinks that that Trump is very, very dismayed.<\/p>\n<p>This is the message that Cruz is putting out, that Trump has had an unsurmountable lead for 95% of this campaign, that the presumed front-runner, Jeb Bush, hasn\u2019t been able to get higher than 6%. Trump\u2019s always been, depending on the poll, 28 to 35, 38, maybe 40 in one poll, until Ted Cruz came along and started getting serious, creeping up on the Iowa caucuses. And then all of a sudden Cruz\u2019s point is Trump does not know how to deal with this adversity. He\u2019s dismayed, he is rattled, and it\u2019s forcing him to say some dumb and crazy, stupid things. This is the attack mode of Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116598\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/505279148_large.jpg\" align=\"left\" \/><br \/>\nI mean, he mowed him down, or tried to, or immigration. Cruz going after the issue that put Trump on the map. He says, &#8220;I like Donald Trump. I respect him personally. And in this campaign he\u2019s talked a lot about illegal immigration and amnesty.&#8221; Cruz goes on to describe how he was fighting this fight in the recent past, last two, three, four years, whenever the votes came up, it was Ted Cruz and some allies that were at war every day succeeding in stopping the Barack Obama and Republican-Democrat coalition and implementing amnesty. He goes on to talk about how many years, how hard everybody fought, how he was leading the fight, and then he wraps it by saying, &#8220;And during all this time, Donald Trump was nowhere to be found.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So his contrast is himself, a guy who\u2019s put everything on the line, who has been in the ring, gloves on and off, trying to stop amnesty. Trump comes along, announces his campaign, says that he\u2019s gonna build a wall, immigration is it, and Cruz\u2019s point is, yeah, okay, fine, I welcome him to the fight, but the fight\u2019s three or four years old here in the modern era, and he wasn\u2019t there during any of that.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s the way Cruz is going after this. You can see here it\u2019s getting, some might call it brutal. I just think it\u2019s politics. You people have forgotten &#8212; and it\u2019s understandable &#8212; South Carolina in 2000. McCain is still fuming over some of the things, some of the innuendo that he thinks the Bush camp put out there about illegitimate kids and affairs. He\u2019s still fuming about it. I mean, this is the way it happens. And to expect &#8212; I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s part of the way education has been going the last 10, 15 years, and those kids get out of school, they become young adults now, conflict resolution 101 or whatever, and they, &#8220;Don\u2019t criticize people like this. This makes me nervous. I don\u2019t like the shouting, oh no!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And for those of you who are reacting this, this is nothing. This campaign hasn\u2019t even gotten up to medium heat yet, compared to where this is headed.
