That\u2019s the story, or that\u2019s the news. There were stories left and right about how the establishment\u2019s decided that it\u2019s gonna be Trump, and they want it to be Trump. They don\u2019t want to it to be Cruz, because Cruz is conservative. That\u2019s why they don\u2019t like him. They also don\u2019t like Cruz because he\u2019s better than they are. They don\u2019t like Cruz because he\u2019s smarter than they are.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t like Cruz \u2019cause he\u2019s committed to it.<\/p>\n<p>When they say &#8212; and this is what they\u2019re saying. The establishment\u2019s saying, &#8220;Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can make deals with Trump. We can coexist with Trump.&#8221; What they mean by that is that they think they can peacefully coexist with Trump because they can moderate Trump or make deals with him that are not ideological in nature. But they know, they are fairly certain, that Cruz is not gonna compromise what he believes in order to strike deals or have peaceful relations with \u2019em, to have a relationship. That scares them.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116487\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trump-SIlent-Majority.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nThey know he\u2019s smarter. They know he\u2019s more committed. They know his supporters are going to be the same. They know there\u2019s no way that they can soften him and have workable deals with Democrats as the establishment must do inside the Beltway. But they think Trump can be bent, shaped, flaked, formed, what have you, in ways that will make cooperation with the Democrats, who are also legitimate members of the establishment and ruling class, and make all of that cooperation possible. So it\u2019s an opposition to conservatism at the establishment level.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a personal dislike of Cruz and resentment; he\u2019s smarter, he\u2019s more consistent, he\u2019s unbending on the core beliefs and things that matter. And then I think it was the Daily Caller last week, there was a story about how the establishment was deciding to step up and get in bed and do business with Cruz. I mean, it was&#8230; I saw both stories last week. The predominant one seems to be that the establishment has decided Trump would be the lesser of two evils for them. But now it all may be out the window with Bush in South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, look, here\u2019s another thing, folks: As you go through the primary, you get mad at Cruz; you get mad at Trump. Do not take your eye off the Republican establishment. Do not let yourself get sidetracked. &#8216;Cause, I\u2019m gonna tell you what: If the Republican establishment, which&#8230; Say Ted Cruz wins this. They\u2019re gonna do their best to undermine him. They might even do so if Trump wins. See, right now the Republican establishment calculation&#8230; Keep in mind who these people are. They\u2019ve been trying to drum conservatives and their influence out of the party in various ways for quite a while.<\/p>\n<p>The donor class is who they prefer to listen to, for the most part, and the consultants who are every bit members of the establishment as well. They have been doing their best&#8230; Well, they\u2019ve been doing two things. They\u2019ve been hoping that everybody would eventually see Trump the way they see him. And they see Trump as a pretender, a charlatan, a Barnum &amp; Bailey Circus act who\u2019s unserious, maybe not even a Republican when you get right down to it. But more importantly than that, somebody they can\u2019t control and can\u2019t do business with.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116503\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrumpDC-Skyline.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nThey\u2019ve been doing everything they can to undermine him, thinking it\u2019s gonna happen, trying to urge it. And over here they\u2019ve got Cruz who they literally despise because he\u2019s principled, conservative, and they can\u2019t deal with that. They don\u2019t want to deal with that, and they are intimidated by it. Make no mistake about that. So that\u2019s why the hateful comments come about Cruz, his personality and so forth and so on. But in the midst of all this, like I was saying just in the last hour &#8212; and I commented on Friday, in fact &#8212; how the establishment\u2019s now decided that Trump may be inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>And so they are going to sidle up. They are going to&#8230; In an effort to keep this all away from Ted Cruz, they are going to make an accord, so to speak, with Trump on the theory that Trump is nowhere near as principled as Cruz is and thus would be open to making deals with them as they wish to deal with the Democrats and other accredited members of the establishment or ruling class. When it comes to Cruz, they don\u2019t see there\u2019s any way of Cruz bending and shaping to them. So they\u2019re thinking maybe they have a better shot at having a coexistence where they run the show here or there with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m not gonna whether they\u2019re right or wrong. It\u2019s not the point. The point is that in this campaign, as you let your emotions get ratcheted up in one direction or another, don\u2019t forget that, at the end of this process, there is still the Republican establishment to deal with. And maybe in the in the midst of it, in the midst of the process, in the midst of the primaries. Trump, they think they can deal with as of today. If it\u2019s Cruz they probably would do what they could to &#8212; well, you\u2019ve heard \u2019em say they\u2019d vote for Hillary.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, you\u2019ve seen it; I\u2019ve seen it. There have been numerous stories out there &#8212; some of them have even allowed themselves to be quoted &#8212; that if it\u2019s Cruz (and some of them have said it about Trump), that they would vote Hillary. Now they\u2019re moderating in their attitudes about Trump. And that\u2019s only because they haven\u2019t been able to stop him and they don\u2019t see&#8230; Jeb\u2019s certainly not rising to the task, and you see Rubio with some problems here. So they\u2019re at their wits\u2019 end.<\/p>\n<p>My only problem is just keep your eye on them during all of this as you do with the two candidates or three or however many you think are viable.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Steve Schmidt ran McCain\u2019s campaign. Normally huge, big, anti-talk radio, pro-establishment guy. He\u2019s on Meet the Press, and Chuck Todd says, &#8220;Is this fight, the one between Cruz and Trump, is this the fight the establishment\u2019s been waiting for?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116516\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schmidt_large.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/><br \/>\nSCHMIDT: Look, right now you look at Trump\u2019s strength across the country and the national polls, all these establishment candidates &#8212; Kasich, Rubio, Bush, Christie &#8212; they need Ted Cruz to beat Donald Trump in Iowa. If Ted Cruz doesn\u2019t win the state of Iowa, Donald Trump is gone. He\u2019s gonna win New Hampshire. He\u2019s gonna be very, very tough to catch as this race moves south and moves into the bigger states.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Fascinating. We analyze this one, too, when we get back.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So what Steve Schmidt was saying here, the establishment right now is rooting for Cruz in Iowa because they think if Trump wins in Iowa, he\u2019s gonna run the table and it\u2019s over. And yet there are stories about how the establishment is now thinking they\u2019ve gotta pretty much get in bed with Trump. But don\u2019t forget what I think is the blockbuster of last week. This guy\u2019s last name, his last name is O\u2019Connell. He\u2019s a young Millennial. He\u2019s a Republican consultant, strategist, advisor. He\u2019s at their retreats and so forth. He\u2019s the guy who wrote and believes that if Cruz is the Republican nominee, that\u2019s the worst thing that could happen. No, that\u2019d be the second worst thing. Then the worst thing that could happen would be Cruz elected president.<\/p>\n<p>This is a Republican fundraiser, consultant saying that Cruz winning the presidency would set the Republican Party back a generation in the modernization it must have if it\u2019s to survive long-term. The Republican Party must make peace with the gays, he said. We must make peace with the LGBTs. We\u2019ve got to get serious about climate change. And what else did he say? Oh, yeah. We have to understand once and for all that the Reagan fetish is over and done with. We\u2019ve got to cast it aside and never, ever go back to it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he\u2019s not alone. There are a lot of Republican establishment types, that\u2019s why I\u2019m telling you, keep your eye on them. No matter how this primary works out, because they\u2019re still gonna be there after we have a winner and thus a loser. If they don\u2019t get what they want here, don\u2019t be surprised if they undermine&#8230; this is, this is&#8230; well.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s the guy. Ford O\u2019Connell. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">He is the author of that piece we quoted Friday<\/a>, maybe Thursday, late last week. But he\u2019s not the only one. I want you stop and think of that. And if you didn\u2019t hear this last Thursday or Friday, whenever, I want you to hear this now. Ford O\u2019Connell is a Republican establishment Millennial &#8212; young guy, fundraiser, strategist, whatever these guys call themselves. But he goes to the establishment meetings, the retreats and so forth of the party leadership and actually has written that for the party to succeed long-term&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img id=\"eZObject_116513\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzFlag.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/a>It\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ve heard them all say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve got to reach out to Hispanics if we ever hope to win the White House again! We\u2019ve got to stop our War on Women,&#8221; as though we\u2019re conducting one, &#8220;if we ever hope to win the White House again.&#8221; So inside the party there is this apparently evolving strategy. &#8220;The party must &#8216;modernize,\u2019 and if it doesn\u2019t, it will cease to exist very, very soon.&#8221; And by &#8220;modernize,&#8221; it must stamp out all of the conservative vestiges. We have got to reach out to the gays and embrace them and tell them we love them, and we\u2019ve got to wholeheartedly embrace gay marriage and the whole LGBT agenda.<\/p>\n<p>We have to do comprehensive immigration reform. We can\u2019t any longer stand in the way or oppose this. We\u2019ve got to get rid of this fetish that some of the old Republicans have with Donald Trump. We\u2019ve got to broom that. As long as we keep having this &#8220;fetish&#8221; with Reagan, these ties to the eighties, we\u2019re gonna forever remain a backward minority party. We have got to &#8220;modernize,&#8221; and this guy went as far to say that if Ted Cruz &#8212; or take your pick of any other conservative nominee. If any conservative nominee wins the nomination and wins the White House, that will set the party back.<\/p>\n<p>Now, stop and think of that.<\/p>\n<p>If a conservative Republican wins the White House, this guy and others like him think it will set the party back and bring to a screeching halt this much needed modernizing. You know what this is? This is a bunch of newfangled Republicans (and I use the term very liberally) who are deciding the Republican Party consists of A, B, C, D, and E. And within that A, B, C, and D is conservatism. Let\u2019s face it, the Republican\u2019s number one identity is conservative, small government, less intrusive. Now, we know that hasn\u2019t been in practice for a long time, but that\u2019s the imagery.<\/p>\n<p>They want to broom that.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116514\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPEstablishmentWash-DC-Rush-B.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nSo they don\u2019t really want to become Republicans. What they are trying to do is redefine what &#8220;Republican&#8221; is under the existing umbrella of the party and have it change. You can call it a silent coup d\u2019etat, so to speak, if you will. Some people look at conservatives as running a coup against the party. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what\u2019s going on. The party, to one degree or another, has always been known as the party of low taxes, pro-entrepreneurism, pro-innovation, pro-liberty, pro-freedom, freedom, Constitution, all of that, smaller government, smaller taxes, less intrusion, fewer regulations.<\/p>\n<p>This new bunch wants no part of that.<\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t they just become Democrats?<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t it just being simpler to join the Democrat Party? That stuff that you want\u2019s already there. And if that\u2019s how you want people to think of you, that you don\u2019t like Reagan, that you\u2019re very much into gay marriage and all that, just become a Democrat. I\u2019m sure they\u2019d love to have you! But no. They want to come in, and under the theory of &#8220;saving&#8221; the Republican Party, they want to modernize it and turn it into something it really has never been. And that\u2019s the battle that\u2019s been going on here the past 20 years, and you could even take this battle back and say it was being fought during the eighties with Reagan.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s really intensified. I don\u2019t know why they don\u2019t just sign on to the Democrat Party and be done with it. Because it is they, actually (if you ask me), who are trying to take over the Republican Party. It looks like it\u2019s conservatives trying to, but we\u2019re actually being pushed out, or marginalized. And we\u2019re at a point now where the establishment, the people we\u2019re talking about, don\u2019t like either of these two front-runners, because neither of these front-runners take the party where these brainiacs think the party needs to go. Trump doesn\u2019t for whatever various reasons, and Cruz doesn\u2019t because he\u2019s a conservative.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think these people have the slightest idea how to win. I don\u2019t think they understand putting together majorities. I don\u2019t think they at all understand a majority of the American people. What they understand is what the media says. They\u2019re totally in prison to what the media says or whatever world the media creates is the one they believe actually exists. And they\u2019re out of touch. And that\u2019s why there\u2019s so much anger, and that\u2019s why the circumstances here have got so many people roiled &#8212; r-o-i-l-e-d. It\u2019s not hard to understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So as I was saying last week, we had the establishment, who\u2019s been upset at me for not taking on Trump, all of a sudden now deciding to sidle up to Trump.
