Rush Limbaugh mockingly asks: How many of you “support Trump because he is a paragon of moral virtue and financial rectitude?”

RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): Here’s the bottom line, and we’ll get into a deeper analysis. The bottom line here, ladies and gentlemen, is that these rulings today from the Supreme Court are of no immediate political value to the Democrats in their quest to get rid of Donald Trump before the November election. And I’m going to tell you this — I’ll bet you that you don’t even hear much about these two rulings after tonight. After the nighttime, the primetime cable shows have their spin with this, come tomorrow, the next day, you’re not going to be hearing much about it.

And you know why? Because nobody’s getting what they want. They’re not going to see Trump’s tax records. They’re not going to be able to use them — the Democrats are not gonna be able to use them in any way prior to November. And after November, it doesn’t matter. If Trump loses, big whoop — you know, they’ll go after him at the Southern District or maybe New York state, just because of their vendettas. If he wins, I think they’ll continue to try to get him thrown out of office, whatever they try.

But — and here’s another bottom line. After everything that’s happened with Donald Trump, how many of you Trump supporters support Trump because he is a paragon of moral virtue and financial rectitude? How many of you support Trump because he is the crème de la crème when it comes to character, decency, morality?

That’s not why Donald Trump is supported. Donald Trump is supported because a majority of people in this country fear we are losing the country, and they think he is the only guy in the Republican Party that has the guts to try to save it.

And when the Access Hollywood video did not take him out, everybody should have figured a bunch of things out, and they keep holding out hope.
