From the December 11 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:

SEAN HANNITY: And then you have this other Washington Post story. This is the one you got to pay attention to.

By the way, that's the establishment saying that you, you the people, that are polled in these surveys are stupid. You're not doing what they want so they want to pick their toys up and go home, some of them.

If you're not seeing why these guys -- you know, look at that Trump Luntz focus group on Trump last night. The more that he attacks the establishment, the more, the more angry -- the better they like him. And any establishment candidate that attacks Trump, it is dismissed out of hand as a joke. And if they try to do this, yeah, it would destroy the Republican Party. How many times have conservatives been told to suck it up for an establishment candidate? John McCain, Bob Dole, and we did suck it up, and we did lose.
