I heard that this morning and thought the same thing. In a 5 minute interview, he also repeated the exact same talking points verbatim about 3 times each.

I'm actually thinking this could be the first time in my life that there's a chance MN doesn't go D in a Presidential election. After all, the same sort of voter backlash gave us Jesse Ventura.

I almost miss having Christie around to point that out to Marco.

Trump has won more votes at this point than either Romney in 2012 or McCain in 2008.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/...2012/article/2001230

Donald Trump has yet to win an outright majority in a primary or caucus – though he's getting closer, pulling in 46 percent of the vote in Nevada. But he's winning massive numbers of votes.

Mitt Romney won Nevada's caucus in 2012 with about 50 percent of the vote. He did so by pulling in roughly 16,000 total votes – roughly the same number that second-place finisher Marco Rubio pulled in this year. Donald Trump, by contrast, more than doubled Romney's total, garnering 34,500 votes.

That pattern has played out across all of the early states, which are seeing huge Trump-inspired (and, at some level, anti-Trump-inspired) turnout.

All told, Trump has now won approximately 420,000 votes. After the first four states had voted in 2012, Mitt Romney had won about 311,000 votes. Back in 2008, meanwhile, eventual nominee John McCain had won a little more than 250,000 votes after Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada had voted.

Before the primaries got underway in earnest, many assumed that Trump would fare more poorly than his poll numbers indicated because so many of his supporters had rarely voted in the past. But with this election, the past has not been a reliable predictor of future events.

They wind him up and they send him out. When they get him back, they give him a cookie and a pat on the head. And wind him up again.

I've heard he's getting the nickname of Marcobot.

He had very good security prior to the addition of the Secret Service.

Yes he has a good team but any security can be breached.

In Nevada yesterday. I count at least 8.

Yeah he has good security. Unfortunately I agree with Para that some BLM fuck, etc will attempt to kill him.

A very long, but very good Rush Limbaugh show

sample:

You said that we need to have somebody bring the country together, and a lot of people talk about bringing the country together, unifying us, making factions of people who disagree somehow come together. I don't think that that's gonna happen.

We're too divided. And they are not interested in it, Pam. The people on the left, they don't want to reach common ground with us. We are gnats to them, or worse. We are the Gestapo to them. We're Nazis to them. We are standing in the way of whatever they want.

These people have to be defeated. They have to be overwhelmed. And then after they're defeated they cannot be allowed to bully whoever wins into cowardice and caving in. It's going to be tough. Winning an election is just a tiny first step.

After we win the election, it's gonna take perseverance to prevail over all the attempts to subvert the winners of the election and to corrupt what's going on, knowing they still own a lot of the bureaucracy.

But if you believe in a certain cultural America, it's under siege. There's nothing to join with on the other side in preserving it. They want to tear it down, transform it, and rebuild it. They have to be defeated. This is why the Republican Party's worthless. They don't even think this way.

The Republican Party's thinking about showing they can work together, they can cooperate, make Washington work. Sorry; we're so past that, we're so far past that , it's irrelevant. We're talking about holding on and preserving the country as founded. And it's gonna be really, really hard.

The second thing is, "Rush," -- and this is not just you -- "Rush, we can't deport 12 million people. We're never gonna --" Who says? All that is is a conversation stopper.

We are the United States of America. Who says we can't get rid of people who are here illegally? It's not a question of we can't. It's a question of do we have the resolve to? Do we have the desire to? Does it makes sense to do it?

Are we gonna do it -- and, believe me, even if we win on this, the people opposing it are gonna be firing ammo at whoever wins like you can't believe.

But if we're serious about stopping this transformation of America, it isn't gonna be easy, and winning an election is not gonna send a signal to the other side to stand down, you lost. They don't look at it that way.

This is a fight between socialism and capitalism, freedom versus tyranny, however you want to categorize. There isn't any overlap.

It's the cult of personality.

When he becomes President, I want to see his face coming out after the first pre-inauguration briefing. That's where he learns the truth about Area 51.

Elections mean something only if the democrats win. This rule needs to be changed.

The endorsements for Trump just keep pouring in.

First, China can go f*ck themselves when it comes to sticking their nose in our business (though it is an interesting cultural commentary that they think The Powers That Be can just cut Trump off.)

That being said, Trump is a conservative wolf in sheep's clothing and his 2A statements can't be trusted considering his background.

He wants to fund Planned Parenthood and backs the gov't over Apple in the right to privacy - the facade is crumbling, but will it crumble fast enough? (The Constitution was setup not to simply protect the popular, but the unpopular, even more importantly - in such things we find the true definition of freedom.)

So a lifetime member of the NRA who also carries regularly is a threat???? You really think he is coming for your guns?

Planned Parenthood he said no funding if they do abortions........

Apple, well the guy thinks a court order getting info on terrorism should be followed.

Anymore grand conspiracy to report???

Haven't been watching Beck have you..... after all Trump is Hitler you know.

Haven't really been reading history, have you, when Trump came out in favor of an assault rifle ban?

Life time memberships to the NRA are cheap and mandatory for Rep candidates. And carrying is an elitist position in NYC.

Michael Bane cites Trump's sons as chasing his (Trump's) mind on the 2A, but I doubt family has that much of an affect on him.

I could have written Trumps 2A statement, doesn't mean he means it.

Wake up. Read the history. Don't believe election cycle rhetoric. GB has nothing to do with this.

LOL peace man. Of course his family has influenced him. They are pretty tight. You really haven't looked at how his family works or how he delegates yet have you?

Really this whole game is just beating the system at their own game. He has played them like fools.

Look how he has shaken the establishment already.

I'll be honest, the more I've really learned about Trump the past few weeks and months, the more I fear that he is playing all of us like fools.

Cause let's not kid ourselves, everyone here is taking a chance on him and taking Trump at his word that he's changed. His word is all one can go off of. Because we certainly aren't going off of his record.

Thing is if you dig into the people that really know him and for many decades they are saying he is for real. He really does believe we need to get to work and fix shit.

I can't give you the hundreds of interviews of people that know him. One that stuck out was the guy from rich dad poor dad talking about him.

Do I think he is perfect? Hell no! Do I believe he wants to clean house, kick ass and chew bubble gum but he's all out of bubble gum? Hell yes.

I would vote for Cruz if he is nominated even though he was for the TPP the first vote and his wife is a CFR member and former big wig at Goldman Sachs.

Me I am ready for an outsider who doesn't owe the Washington machine.

Anyway the ultimate goal is to make sure the commie democrats don't win.

Trump also has shown that he can bring in voters outside the normal base.
