Conservative talk radio show giant Rush Limbaugh told Chris Wallace during a rare TV interview on Fox News Sunday that “there’s a much bigger upside than downside” regarding Donald Trump.

“His dad did much the same thing against Barry Goldwater with a cabal of Republicans, establishment guys, back in 1964,” Limbaugh said about Romney. “This is not new. The establishment not wanting outsiders, not wanting conservatives is not new… They were this way with Ronald Reagan before Reagan was elected. They tried to deny Reagan in ’76 and they tried to deny Reagan in 1980. They’re not conservative.”

Rush also weighed in on the controversy between Mr. Trump and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, saying the vicious attempt by the Republican Establishment to take down the insurgent frontrunner is nothing new. Limbaugh noted how they tried to do it to Ronald Reagan and, in fact, pointed out how Mitt Romney’s father was part of a similiar plan.
