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

RUSH: Here\u2019s John in Tallahassee. Hey, John. Welcome. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great. Thanks, Rush. I appreciate it. Major dittos. So excited to talk to you I jumped on my iPad trying to get to the phone so I\u2019m gonna have to wing this. It\u2019s concerning Trump. Some of the critics of Trump have referred to him as a progressive equal to that of Bush. While I have had always had hopes for maybe a strong conservative such as Cruz, Walker, and Carson, I do like the fact that Trump is not a politician and he\u2019s not beholden to the party establishment in any way, as far as I can research and the way I feel. But I figured you know him, and I\u2019d love — you lived in New York, and your wide knowledge on the subject, I\u2019d love to know what you think about that. Does he have a more progressive agenda or do you feel he has more of a constitutional love for his country? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He seems to be doing this for the right reason in my opinion.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I have a minute and a half to answer you, so let me answer with what I think are the most important things you\u2019ve asked. I have been with Donald. The last time I saw Donald, he was being honored as the annual honoree for great contributions and work for the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. It\u2019s an annual dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria, and he was seated with his wife at Roger Ailes\u2019 table. I was the next table over, and I went over and talked to him. This is a really pro-Americana group that was honoring Trump that night. I have been honored. Ailes has been honored by these people. <\/p>\n

The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation<\/a> is just a wonderful thing. They contribute 99 and a half cents of every dollar donated is passed through to the children of Marines killed in action, college scholarships. I\u2019ve played golf with Trump a number of times. Well, the first time we played after Obama had been elected, it was a year or two into Obama\u2019s first year, first term, and he says, “I don\u2019t know, Rush, this guy, it doesn\u2019t sound like this is a good guy to me.” And I agreed with him. <\/p>\n

The other thing I can tell you is that Donald around me has never uttered anything that made me think he was a Democrat or a liberal, but he\u2019s donated to them. He lives in New York, he\u2019s had to do that. He\u2019s also very smart. He may not talk about Democrat things with me because he knows that\u2019s not how to get close to me. I\u2019m running out of time. I wish I\u2019d a taken your call sooner, \u2019cause there\u2019s other things I can say, but, damn it, I am just sadly here just out of broadcast time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
