18. We don't need them, don't want them, were NEVER going to get them

THEY don't matter. They ARE the Republican party base.

His core supporters are disaffected, supremely ANGRY whites who have had their nationalist, isolationist, racist tendencies, total lack of personal responsibility, and darkest fears stoked and nurtured several hours a day, every day for decades.

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

"Hu Jintao was just going, "Ching cha. Ching chang cho chow. Cha Chow. Ching Cho. Chi ba ba ba. Kwo kwa kwa kee. Cha ga ga. Ching chee chay. Ching zha bo ba. Chang cha. Chang cho chi che. Cha dee. Ooooh chee bada ba. Jee jee cho ba." Nobody was translating, but that's the closest I can get."

"Hey, Barack Obama has picked up another endorsement: Halfrican American actress Halle Berry. "As a Halfrican American, I am honored to have Ms. Berry's support, as well as the support of other Halfrican Americans," Obama said. He didn't say it, but -- anyway, there are those out there .

All of these are actual quotes by Rush Limbaugh


But when we discuss Trump's image in the greater population at large - that is an entirely different matter. It DOES matter. Normal people recoil at hearing/seeing Trump say things like "Look at my African-American over here."

It does matter. It will matter.
