and make it acceptable because the call screeners make sure no one gets in their face. when they get called racists they yell political correctness. most of it is sold with lies that are never challenged - from made-up and cherry-picked statistics to plain old racism.

trump is the talk raido president.

In the New York Magazine, April 3, 2016, Gabriel Sherman wrote a piece titled “Operation Trump”:

Throughout 2014, the three (Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, and Sam Nunberg) fed Trump strategy memos and political intelligence. “I listened to thousands of hours of talk radio, and he was getting reports from me,” Nunberg recalled. What those reports said was that the GOP base was frothing over a handful of issues including immigration, Obamacare, and Common Core.


thing is, it may have been the russians that told trump's guys to study talk radio.

limbaugh got trump through the primaries as his main supporter/excuser and attacker of the gop establishment and money candidates - that's how trump beat the big money. it's limbaugh now leading the attacks on susan rice and 'pencil necked' schiff.

fbi should be checking out limbaugh too.
