Top 5 Influential People Who Gave Us Donald Trump

3. Rush Limbaugh

Rush-Limbaugh-vs-Donald-Trump

While Limbaugh never “formally” came out and endorsed Trump in the primaries, he certainly gave him pass after pass for his lack of right-leaning politics. With an audience of millions of listeners, Limbaugh is undoubtedly one of, if not the most, influential voice(s) in the conservative movement. Yet since the announcement of Trump’s campaign, Limbaugh, while never formally endorsing, certainly promoted the rhetoric of Trump and his campaign all along, seemingly in the name of ratings.

Limbaugh even admitted that he didn’t believe in Trump and the entire cornerstone of his campaign: immigration. On his radio show, despite propping up Trump’s immigration policy, most notably of which was “The Wall,” Limbaugh stated as much:

Caller: With all due respect, Rush, on Chuck Todd’s show, he specifically said, when asked the question, “You mean you’re going to rip the families apart?”

He said, “No, I’m not going to rip the families apart, they all have to go, even the U.S. citizen children.”

He then got into the middle of the debate, and the argument between Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, when Ted wanted legalization and Marco wanted citizenship as part of a comprehensive plan. He said that they were both wrong, that they were both being absurd, that they all had to go “or we don’t have a nation of laws.” Come on! You were watching the debates as well as the rest of us were. You know exactly what he said and you know exactly the way he ridiculed everybody on that stage.

Rush Limbaugh: Yeah, well I guess the difference is—well not the difference, I guess the thing is, this is gonna enrage you. You know, I could choose a path here to try to mollify you, but I never took him seriously on this!

Caller: 10 million people did.

Rush Limbaugh: Yeah, and they still don’t care. My point is they still don’t care. They’re gonna stick with him no matter what.

In a rare moment of complete transparency, Limbaugh admitted what many #NeverTrump conservatives and Republicans had been stating for months: Trump sells, regardless of substance. And if that means sacrificing principles in the name of ratings, so be it.
