Limbaugh: The indispensable man in the forging of Trumpism

Limbaugh: The indispensable man in the forging of Trumpism 

Rush blended what was base with moral self-righteousness. More than anyone else, he led the pro-life movement to the dark side. He played on the good intentions of his audience and their belief that the world of their youth and early adulthood was somehow blessed. Clinton was his first, and most effective foil. A usurper who came to prominence before paying his dues. This trope was repeated with the young Obama. His audience longed for a golden age, not new ideas, even those that would benefit them. In essence, he was a symptom, not a cause. A reflection of the ugly American grown old. Where he goes, the Invictus Generation will soon follow.
