GOP frontrunner Donald Trump declared war on Fox News and he’s not backing down. Conservative Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh gets it, and he tried to explain it on his Wednesday show. In my opinion, the political establishment is trying to size Trump up with political eyes when that’s not who he is. Rush broke it down more eloquently.
From Rush Limbaugh:
“It’s very simple: He had an unpleasant experience in the first debate,” Limbaugh explained. “So he says, ‘Screw this, I’m not putting myself in position like that. Screw the rules,’ he says, ‘Why should I willingly give them another shot at me, in a circumstance they control?’”
Limbaugh argued that Fox News does, in fact, have it out for Trump — the whole political class does — because his success calls into question the wisdom of every political expert and all the rules by which American politics is played.
“The political business is like every other business. It has its people who are considered the elites in it, and they hate outsiders,” the host said. “And Trump is functioning outside this structure, and as such, the people who are only familiar with this structure, who cherish it and want to protect it, feel threatened in ways you can’t even comprehend.”
Limbaugh didn’t criticize Fox News for refusing to remove Megyn Kelly from the moderator’s table, as Trump has demanded. But he did say he was “stunned” at how the network had rewarded Trump’s provocations with wall-to-wall coverage.
“Donald Trump knows that by not showing up, he owns the entire event, and the proof of that is Fox News last night,” Limbaugh said. “Fox News was acting like they were jilted at the altar. If Trump made a big to-do about not showing up for me, I’d report it and move on. Don’t devote the rest of the night to how a candidate’s not showing up because of you.”
The host added that, despite the network’s claims, Trump is not afraid of Fox News. “There isn’t any fear,” he said. “What there is, is a desire for control.”
