Just How #NeverHillary Is Rush Limbaugh?
Nationally syndicated talk radio host Rush Limbaugh hasn’t always been the biggest fan of Donald Trump, but he made it clear Monday afternoon just how far he is willing to go to prevent Hillary Clinton from winning the White House.
He’s willing to give up everything he has built over the past 30 years.
“The principle here is ‘Never Hillary,'” he said. “As long as I have breath, that is going to be my message.”
Noting he doesn’t need a Democrat in the White House for his show—arguably the most listened to radio program in America—to be successful, he said his goals with regard to the 2016 are far from financial.
“If Hillary Clinton losing meant the end of this program, then that’s what I would be for,” he said. “If that’s what it took to save this country—meaning she loses, and that means my radio show goes away—then that’s what I would do.
“I have no self-interest in this whatsoever. I’m not looking forward to Hillary Clinton being in the White House so I can seek greater advertising revenues. I don’t have a problem with that as it is. I don’t need Democrats in office to be successful. My success is not determined by who wins elections and it never has been.”
Calling Trump the candidate “we have” and Clinton the candidate “we have and don’t want,” he said there’s no comparison between the two as to whom would be worse for the country. He said it’s “not even close” to him.
“It’s instant disaster to do anything that gets that woman in the White House!” he exclaimed. “I think she and the Democrat Party are the equivalent of a giant wrecking ball that is intentionally being aimed at institution after institution every day …
“They’re crumbling things that used to be strong, that people could believe in. It’s gotta stop, politically.”
