“Donald Trump has the benefit of the fact that he's dominated media coverage, I mean, literally dominated media coverage because of the outrageous things he says and so forth. That's going to end here. There's going to be real fight now for the heart and soul of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. And it is not - I will do whatever it takes to prevent it from being taken over by a con artist.” HeartMeanRealSoulEndsFactsArtistFightingPartyTakenMediaMovementTrumpRepublicanBenefitsConservativeBeing RealRepublican PartyOutrageousHeart And SoulCoverageWhatever It TakesCon ArtistMedia Coverage Author:Marco Rubio
“Go back and read Sinclair Lewis - It Can't Happen Here or Babbitt. For a guy or girl who's going to do an hour of political comedy, it might be a little rough, sure.

“Trump doesn't need to spend a dime to get his message out. Trump doesn't have to run an ad. Trump doesn't have to run a series. He doesn't have to pay people to show up. He doesn't have to buy TV advertising, because he gets more coverage than the combined advertising the rest of the Republicans could buy. And aside from the overwhelming, significant upset that is, the very fact of all that ticks them off. Donald Trump has direct access to his supporters. And you know who gives it to him? The media.” PeopleKnowsNeedsGivingFactsShowsRunningPayMediaTvsTrumpRepublicanMessagesDirectSeriesAccessSignificantAdvertisingUpsetOverwhelmingAdsSupporterCoverageDimesTick Author:Rush Limbaugh
“It's just, "Hey,[Barack] Obama's the hero, and he wants Obamacare," and so the coverage is totally devoted to whether or not Obama's gonna get it.

“The states is where resistance is opposition to Obamacare is taking place. The states is where tax reform is taking place, starting. The states is where whatever opposition to the latest crisis of the day is, be it health care, immigration, or guns. The states - the majority of which have Republican governors - are where this is all being dealt with, and you're not hearing about it. They don't get a lot of press coverage, but that's where this is happening.” StatesCareRepublicanTaxesHappeningsGunCrisisMajorityPressesStartingHearingImmigrationResistanceReformHealth CareOppositionGovernorsObamacareCoverageTax Reform Author:Rush Limbaugh
