21. establishment GOP did not want trump but talk radio gods limbaugh/hannity did

Apr 2018

trump beat the establishment money because he had most of the talk radio gods behind him.

limbaugh made excuses for trump, his mini me hannity followed, and journos need to be looking for evidence limbaugh hannity have been getting russian trump money. limbaugh attacked rubio and bush as establishment pro 'illegal immigrant'.

trump guy sam nunberg said he studied talk radio for trump in 2014 and it informed their primaries strategy and may have been used to coordinate with their kremlin trolling ops.

jounalists/investigators need to dig into the possibility that limbaugh and hannity were being compensated for their support and coordination with trump and the russina trolling, especially in the primaries vs establishment gop candidates while trying to appear objective. altho libaugh has probably been getting side money for close to a decade.

it would be their job to support trump in the general, to the extent limbaugh thinks up and is fed excuses for trump and then they put them out for the base to pick through to help them deny reality and continue to rationalize their support. as well as continuing to attack hillary, which they have both been doing for 25 years.

it’s possible hannity and limbaugh have been getting russian money for many years, especially since rove lost the white house and central control of them. like selling 'climategate' in 2009 from a kremlin email hack. putin would love that and so would the kochs. and then selling debt default in 2011, which i doubt the kochs would want.

If Russians/Trump wanted to coordinate they would study talk radio. Trump did that in 2014. (said sam nunberg to gabriel sherman - new york magazine 4/3/16)
