Rush Limbaugh: Bill O’Reilly Departure Was Not ‘Natural’ — It was a ‘Campaign’
Anyone who doesn't think that this was a witch-hunt, is either a FOX-hater or a liberal. Or both.

Rush Limbaugh Assures: Donald Trump Won’t Be Able to Get Away with Acting Like Obama in Office
Mediaite.com:
Rush Limbaugh assured a caller on his radio show today that even if Donald Trump ends up acting a lot like President Obama, it won’t matter because he won’t be able to get away with it.
Limbaugh has made it clear at this point he doesn’t quite share the concerns about The Donald many other conservatives do, and said that Obama’s been able to “get away with his authoritarianism” because Republicans have refused to actually oppose him.
“If Trump gets elected,” he argued, “you’re gonna see more unity between the Republicans and Democrats in stopping any Trump authoritarianism… because they’re gonna hate it, they’re gonna despise the guy.”
He practically cried, “Trump is not gonna be able to get away with Obamaism because Obama has a compliant Republican party!”RELATED: Why talk radio coronated Donald Trump

CNN’s Jake Tapper Thinks KKK Interview Flap Will Help Trump Win GOP Nomination
Mediaite.com:
CNN’s Jake Tapper conducted the Donald Trump interview yesterday where the GOP frontrunner refused to disavow support from ex-KKK leader David Duke, and he thinks the flap will actually help him.RELATED: Rush: Maybe Trump dodged KKK questions on a Sunday show so as not to alienate people who might vote for him
Yesterday morning, Tapper repeatedly confronted Trump about that endorsement. Trump said he just doesn’t know enough about David Duke and the groups involved (the KKK) to make a judgment, telling Tapper he would have to look into it more.
On CNN this afternoon, Tapper told his guests, “I think that my interview with Donald Trump yesterday will actually help him win the nomination.”
Ramesh Ponnuru doubted that would be the case, despite the excuse-making from some.

To Liberals Delight, Donald Trump Evokes 9/11 To Make Fun of Jeb Bush
Mediaite.com:
During his presser Monday afternoon from Hanahan, South Carolina, Donald Trump moved from his open criticism of Texas Senator Ted Cruz onto the Bush family, continuing the rhetoric that was hotly-contested during this weekend’s GOP debate.Trump really sounds emotional going after the Bush's like this. To think, Jeb Bush is too wooden and too prone to fumbles to win the GOP nomination. Still, Trump just can't put aside his huge ego and utter disdain for Jeb to leave him alone and let him die a slow death on his own.
On the same day that former President George W. Bush is set to stump on behalf of his brother Jeb in South Carolina, Trump called out the frequent talking point that “George W. Bush kept us safe after 9/11”.
“What about during 9/11? I was there,” Trump told the press. “I lost a lot of friends that were killed in that building. The worst attack ever in this country — it was during his Presidency.”

Hugh Hewitt on Donald Trump: I Don’t Think It’s a Gotcha Question to Ask About the Forces Surrounding Israel
HotAir.com:
Equal time for a man dismissed this morning by a grumpy Trump as a “third-rate radio announcer” because he asked him about the differences between Hamas and Hezbollah. That wasn’t me running through a random checklist of names to see if I could trip him up, Hewitt tells CNN here. It was me trying to lead him into a discussion of the strategic threat facing American and Israeli interests. A man with presidential ambitions should be able to talk semi-intelligently about that in 2015, no?RELATED: Limbaugh: Hewitt’s Questions to Trump Help Push Narrative That Republicans Aren’t Bright
Matt Welch wonders: Is there any reason to think that a deeper knowledge of foreign policy before becoming president leads to a better foreign policy as president?
I don’t think there’s a straight line between better knowledge as a candidate to having more success abroad once in office, but I doubt Hewitt would say so either. The questions he asked Trump were really proxies, I think, for testing how seriously he takes the threat from jihadis. As a general but certainly not firm rule, the more worried you are about Iran, ISIS, and expansionist Islamist groups, the deeper into the weeds you’re willing to go to learn who they are. (Interestingly, Rand Paul the most dovish candidate in the GOP field and a strident Trump critic otherwise, sided with Trump today in knocking Hewitt’s questions as gotchas.) That’s also why, I assume, Hewitt presses nearly every candidate he interviews about whether they’ve read “The Looming Tower,” Lawrence Wright’s book about the rise of Al Qaeda and 9/11. He’s probing their intellectual curiosity about jihadism, I take it, as a measure of how alert they are to the risk and how committed they’d be as president to defeating it. How’d Trump do on that metric?
The correct answer, I think, is “voters won’t care.” Like I said last night, how you view the sufficiency of Trump’s answer depends almost totally on how seriously you take Trump as a candidate to begin with. Here’s Josh Rogin, picking through the Hewitt interview to build a case that Trump not only doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he seems unconcerned about correcting that problem:
Trump also suggested he would, as president, dismantle the system of deterrence that currently underpins our strategy toward potential major adversaries. When asked by Hewitt what he would do if China sunk a Japanese ship, Trump said it was a secret. “You don’t want to let people know what you’re going to do with respect to certain things that happen. You don’t want the other side to know,” he said. “I don’t want people to know my thinking.”That answer is Trump’s go-to response whenever he seems to get into trouble answering foreign policy questions. He has said he doesn’t want to telegraph his plan to defeat the Islamic State — which he nonetheless described as “very beautiful” — although at other times he has promised to surround its oil fields with American troops, or to bomb the fields and later send in Exxon to rebuild them…More likely, the truth is that Trump has no defined worldview, does not understand how diplomacy or warfare works, and has no real plans to solve the world’s problems. Other Republican candidates similarly have little foreign policy experience, but at least they are trying to study up. When Chuck Todd of “Meet the Press” asked who he consults on foreign policy, Trump replied that he watches “the shows.”Yes, cheer Trump-haters. He’s a doofus whose doofus fans are actually celebrating his doofus-ness!
