Rush Limbaugh

We knew that the referee [in primary debates] is on the side of the Democrats because the referee, whoever the referee is, is a Democrat first and a so-called journalist second. I mean, we know that Lester Holt did not challenge Hillary [Clinton].

I\'m a lovable, harmless, lovable, little fuzzball.

You need a positive attitude nationwide.

That is like in my parents\' generation, Walter Cronkite. If you were gonna go into broadcasting, if you weren\'t gonna be Walter Cronkite, you may as well not go into it. Even after I\'d try and tell my parents that he was the epitome of left-wing bias. Well, my dad knew it. My grandfather wouldn\'t believe it.

I am fundraising gold. Democrat donors hate me so much, they hear my name and they run to their checkbooks.

North Carolina used to be reliably red. Now it\'s a battleground state.

Donald Trump has defied practically every playbook or blue book technique in dispatching an opponent.

One thing I do know, you can\'t change hatred by showing those people that they\'re wrong about us.

The media has been trying to undermine Donald Trump from the moment he got into the race, and he has triumphed over them at every turn - and they can\'t stand that, either. And they\'ve realized they alone don\'t have the power to get rid of Trump. So now it\'s join forces with the deep state, the sabotage going on with the Obama army that is working in quiet and invisibility within the shadow government, if you will. And even that is not distancing Trump\'s supporters from him. They know full well what\'s happening, and they\'re infuriated by it, and they\'re furious.

We want people to take care of themselves. We want people to provide for themselves. We want people to enjoy the fruits of their labors. We want people to enjoy reaching out and making their dreams come true. We want people to realize their life\'s dreams and passions. You need a growing economy for this.

Young people have been ill-educated, mis-educated, propagandized. I see it in everything I read written by young people. You can spot it a mile away, their ignorance. And it\'s coupled with they think they\'re the only people that know. They\'re arrogant. They\'re a little bit smarmy about what they think they know and nobody else does, which is a characteristic of young people anyway. I was that way when I was young.

Young people have been educated and raised to believe that that aspect of our history disqualifies America from ever being anything that you can justify, from ever being anything great, from ever being anything with any goodness in it, that the United States is forever blemished.

This is a typical liberal trick, by the way: Stack the deck so the whole thing fails leaving only one option, the government to go in to save the day.

We do not force things on people. That\'s not how we want things to eventuate. That\'s not how we want things to happen. We have what we consider to be, anyway, a respect for our form of government, a constitutional republic. We believe in it. We want legitimate mandates. We win an election, we want it to be because the genuine majority of people who share our beliefs. We don\'t think we accomplish anything by forcing something on people. But that\'s not the way the left looks at this at all. They can only get what they want by forcing it on people.

Barack Obama got ten million more votes than John McCain. I\'d like to believe that none of the millions of people laid off during Obama\'s time in office will vote for him again. If that happens, a conservative will be elected in 2012 and we can work to fix what Obama has broken.

We had the story in the Politico, they\'ve done their market research or focus groups. None of this stuff, the Russian collusion, none of it is working. It just bounces off Donald Trump. They\'re frustrated. That\'s why they\'re focusing on trying to separate Trump\'s base from Trump. That\'s the objective now. And it has been for really the whole period of time, but now they\'re just changing their tactics about bringing it back. But it\'s not working on you, it doesn\'t sound like.

State-controlled Associated Press: \'The gross domestic product declines 1% in the second quarter, better than expected.\' The bottom line is the economy is still shrinking! It\'s contracting. There\'s negative growth. One percent, big whoop, we\'re supposed to feel happy about this? The only thing that would make me happy about this is if I saw a story that said the government shrunk by 1%. Then we\'d be making progress.

I\'m usually one of these guys analyzing what does happen and putting it in focus and context.

I don\'t think either party has any idea what\'s headed their way. Their business is to remain mired in process. They call it deliberation, thoughtful, reasonable deliberation. Trump doesn\'t know any of that. Trump is not a process guy. To him, process is delay. Process is obfuscation. Process is incompetence. People engaging in process are a bunch of people masking the fact they don\'t know what they\'re doing, and he has no time for \'em and no patience.

Where do you think all these attacks on conservative media are coming from? They\'re not coming from the Democrats exclusively.

The Never Trumpers, no matter what is learned about Hillary Clinton, they will not vote for Trump.

Socialism, technically, is when the government owns the means of production. And they don\'t yet. I mean they own a couple car companies and they\'re mucking that up. But fascism is where the private sector still owns businesses but the government runs it.

Everybody thought that Hillary Clinton was gonna win. That\'s the problem. Everybody thought, nobody was paying attention.

The state sovereignty is key here in the Electoral College - and if you\'re going to start divvying up the power of each state\'s elections, you are destroying state sovereignty.

I want people to realize their life\'s dreams and passions.

In the past, I have made a point of pointing out that Donald Trump is not ideological. Now, to me, that means more than he\'s not just conservative or liberal. But I guess I\'m gonna need to add to that. When I say he\'s not ideological - and I\'ll explain that again - he\'s not a conservative, and he\'s not a liberal. He knows what both things are. It\'s just not how he looks at the world, and it\'s not how he sees people. Now, to some people that\'s refreshing and it\'s good. To other people, it\'s alarming.

I don\'t think [Donald] Trump was playing rope-a-dope. He probably said, \"Look, I\'ve done these. How many debates did we do in the primaries? I know what\'s happening.\"

There is so much closed-mindedness, there is so much closed-off thought, there is so much bigotry and prejudice within knowledge that it, I think, is stunting the actual intelligence growth of our population. Not our capabilities but our actual intelligence growth because all of the stigma that\'s attached to people that don\'t have formal educations as opposed to those who do. But the people that have formal educations have been programmed and indoctrinated in many cases, not in all the disciplines.

This isn\'t Republican versus Democrat. This is not right versus left right now. This is not conservative versus populist. This is globalist, America-is-not-first establishment versus those of us who believe America is first. This is an establishment/anti-establishment fight that\'s going on.

I\'m telling you, the disconnect is big, and the gap of understanding between the people in Washington, in news media, the New York/Boston/Washington corridor and the rest of the country, that gap is widening.
