Blueprints Quote by Rush Limbaugh
“I just think the more the media uses their time-honored blueprint techniques to destroy Republican politicians... It hasn't worked on Trump yet, and they've been trying it a year and a half, folks. We're dangerously close here to the definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result." It's not Trump who's insane. Trump's having the time of his life.”
