CALLER: For you to sit here and say that now that he adopts all the positions of everybody he ridiculed as not even being a flip flop and it's no big deal? This is why so many Republican voters have such a hard time going to the con man. 

RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): Well, in the first place, I don't think Trump has actually changed that much from what he said, and I'm also not aware that he told every Republican they had to agree with him or else -- whatever he was going to do to them he did. I'm just -- the point -- what is it --

CALLER: With all due respect, Rush, on Chuck Todd's show, he specifically said when asked the question, “you mean you're going to rip the families apart,” he said, “no, I'm not going to rip the families apart. They all have to go, even the U.S. citizen children.”

[...]

Come on. You were watching the debates as well as the rest of us were. You know exactly what he said and you know exactly the way he ridiculed everybody on that stage. 

LIMBAUGH: Yeah. I guess the difference is -- or not the difference. I guess the thing is -- this is going to enrage you. I could choose a path here to try to modify you. I never took him seriously on this.

CALLER: Yeah. But 30 million -- 15 -- 10 million, excuse me, 10 million people did --

LIMBAUGH: Yeah, and they still don't care. That's my point, they still don't care. They're going to stick with him no matter what.
