Rush Limbaugh: No Question Democrats Are Doing Everything They Can to 'Sabotage' Trump

by Josh Feldman | 9:58 am, February 19th, 2017

Rush Limbaugh made a rare television appearance on Fox News Sunday today, and he told Chris Wallace that there is clearly a liberal effort to “sabotage” President Trump going on.

“It is preposterous to believe,” he said, “that the Russians had any effect on the outcome of voting in this country.” Limbaugh said people need to better understand Trump and what his supporters like about him, not to mention the earnest belief many of them held that “they were gonna lose the country if Hillary Clinton won.”

He discussed the idea of there being an Obama “shadow government” of people who are pushing leaks to damage the Trump administration, because of the Democratic party’s inability to win at the ballot box and their shrinking influence.

“The left, which is run by Obama and Hillary and the hierarchy of the Democrat party,” Limbaugh said, “is doing everything they can to undermine, sabotage, and to prevent Trump from implementing his agenda. There’s no question about it.”

Limbaugh: ‘The Media Did Not Make Donald Trump, and They Can’t Destroy Him’

Rush Limbaugh weighed in on President Trump‘s tweet calling the media the “enemy” today, saying, “I think there’s something to it.”

As they were talking about Barack Obama‘s first few months compared to President Trump‘s, Limbaugh said on Fox News Sunday people didn’t want to get in the way of the first black president’s agenda because people didn’t want to be accused of racism.

He talked to Chris Wallace about the resistance to Trump not just in government but in the press, saying, “The media did not make Donald Trump, and they can’t destroy him.”

Limbaugh said the liberal press has a “blueprint for destroying Republican political officials they don’t like,” but it won’t work on Trump because he’s not a typical Republican.

...get a majority of the popular vote. Only "technically president" that fellow was. No need to accept anything from his administration as binding on the nation, it was all ripe to be rescinded the moment the pretender could be cast from office.

That was in 1992.

Rush "Big fat idiot" Limbaugh has no grounds to complain. He was chief cheerleader for Republican obstruction of President Obama. BTW that "shadow government" stuff is nonsense. Suck it up buttercup. He won by a thin margin in the EC and massively lost the PV. Lots of people just don't like Trump and GOP policies it has little or nothing to do with what Democrats or former President Obama are doing.

If they had a fair and square election, no gerrymandering with all the votes counted the rethugs would have lost the Senate and house. And we would have president Clinton.

More democratic votes for the house, senate and president.

I can't believe he didn't get kicked off the air for the whole Sandra Fluke fiasco. But he's stirring in his own juices. And as I said, Trump is doing everything he can to sabotage himself. The press conference this week was a clusterfuck, as was yesterday's self-congratulating campaign rally. Trump is destroying himself. We're just sitting back and watching the fireworks.

Their base is eating it up. Going on about how victimized they are and why can't we give Trump a chance. Fuck that. If Trump succeeds, the country fails.
