RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): "For years, the religious right was attacked and maligned from within the Republican Party. They were accused of being backward, stupid, moralistic boobs. Political elites were ashamed to share the same space with them on the public stage. They just wanted them to go away.
Well, they didn’t go away, but they did listen. If morality doesn’t matter in politics, then just elect someone who will at least stop the leftist juggernaut (or slow it down) even though he’s immoral, unprincipled, egotistical, and not really much of a conservative."
In other words, the Republican elites told people to believe in right and wrong and morality and maybe Christians. Forget it! Don't concern yourself with that, don't concern yourself with vulgarity, don't concern yourself with character, don't concern yourself with things like abortion. We have got a bigger thing to fry. We have got to stop the left, we have got to stop the Democrats, and we can't do it if you people are going to be running around worried about morality all day. So, what did people do? They said OK, here's Donald Trump. The Republican base went out and nominated Donald Trump. And have you noticed that a whole lot of evangelical groups have not run away from him? Franklin Graham, others have stood right with him while other Republicans are running for the tall grass. Well, and the point here by Denise McAllister is you Republican elites, this is what you said you wanted. You wanted somebody hip, you wanted somebody cool, you wanted somebody who was not a prisoner to religious values. You wanted somebody who wasn't a stiff moralist, judgmental, demanding everybody be perfect character, have the right attitudes on guns, and gays, and marriage, and what have you. And the Republican party said, “We can't win with you people.” So Republican base voters, whether they intended to or not, whether the were responding to Republican leaders or not, ended up nominating somebody who clearly is not a disciple of the religious right or the moral majority and never claimed to be by the way. The Republican elites ought to be happy. This is the way we do it, this is the kind of people the Democrats like, this is the kind of people Democrats nominate, this is the kind of people Democrats vote for, this is the kind of people Democrats put on television. And they did put Trump on television.
