Will the Limbaugh thing backfire on Trump...

[Jade Fox]

and turn more people against him?

Please say yes. I'm beginning to feel desparate!

1. One can only hope at this point.

[Submariner]

2. The Tuskegee Airmen kicked Nazi ass and saved all those B-17 bomber crews over Germany

from annihilation, and they deserved the Medal.

Instead we get a racist, misogynist, opioid snorting drug addict pedophile suspect who got his jollies making fun of, and insulting, Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton when they were young girls.

The dittohaeads won't turn against him.

3. He would have never received the medal if he was not the walking dead.

6. This needs to be pointed out to every veteran and servicemember

Genuine 100-year-old HERO = No medals

Racist hatefilled piece of shit = MEDAL

4. CNN right as I type this is playing a Greatest Hits of Rush clip...

Rush telling women who use government-paid-for contraceptives they should post sex videos (i.e., because Rush Limbaugh believed only promiscuous women would use contraceptives).
Rush making fun of Michael J. Fox's parkinson symptoms.

People will remember what Rush has spent the last thirty years doing, and feel revulsion.

I hope it backfires on Trump badly, because Limbaugh was a human garbage pit totally undeserving of awards and sympathy.

11. I think it will backfire

Anybody who loves Rush Limbaugh would already have been prepared to crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump.

CNN's showing non-right-wing-radio listeners these clips of the bile he spews will result in normal people being even more repelled than they already were.

5. nothing ever backfires on him

he doubles down and his friggen party all say nada. or they will start coming out and supporting rush getting the medal too. deplorable is too nice a word for these pricks.

Trump is their king.

7. Book: Confessions of a Former Dittohead by Jim Derych

I read this book years ago, and just remembered it.

It gives a lot of insight into how/why someone gets enamored with Limbaugh, and how one man got over it.

10. Thanks. Limbaugh has provided lots of evidence....

that he is a pig. And much of it is already widely known.

That is one reason to be hopeful.

[lunatica]

9. It is fodder for devastating ads against him.

If used as such it will be a nail in Trump’s coffin, both politically and for any personal legacy his miserable life will leave.
