The Democrat Plan for the Plugs Presidency
Sep 9, 2019
RUSH: We got a Democrat debate on Thursday. It looks to me like no matter where you look in the polling data that Joe Biden as a commanding lead. If you had to say today based on the way things are today — polling at that time and everything else — you’d have to say Biden is the nominee. You’d have to say he’s gonna get it. Now, Fauxcahontas is sneaking up out there. A lot of people think that she’s playing it right. She’s sneaking up slowly but surely, staking out positions that are different from Biden’s in a way that makes her more palatable.
But for some reason, Biden, no matter the gaffe, no matter the lack of showing up, no matter… Look, folks, he’s stumbling with his mouth. He has got no energy. It is the Hillary Clinton campaign redone, and yet you go to Real Clear Politics and their average of polls and he’s still far and away… Even after saying that they may not even participate in the Hawkeye Cauci because they don’t even need to win there in order to win the nomination! The Hawkeye Cauci are the first things to happen before you get to New the Hampshire primary.
If Biden is the nominee, then it’s clear to me… If this is what the Democrat establishment wants because they are looking at electability — and I’m telling you, there are some people on the Democrat side that are looking at this field, and they know they have no prayer of beating Trump if they get Kamala Harris, Mayor Pete, Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders. None of these people have a chance, in the Democrats’ frame of mind. But they’ve got their wacko lunatic base that they’ve gotta placate somehow. They’ve gotta keep those people on board.
That’s why Jerry Nadler’s ratcheting up impeachment in the House. It’s to keep feeding this Democrat base, the steady diet of Trump hatred and radical socialism they demand. But the fact that Biden is still leading in all of these primary polls indicates that primary voters don’t want any of these radical leftists. But that doesn’t mean the radical leftists are going away. I think what’s gonna happen if things don’t change — and everything will, by the way.
If things don’t change, Plugs is gonna get the nomination and they’re gonna have dreams of Plugs becoming president, at which point they’ll put him in formaldehyde. He’ll be president in name only and the radical leftists will actually assume his presidency. And it won’t be that hard to do because he may not know where he is from day to day. But I really do think that that’s gonna be the plan if they’re not able to dislodge him, that they’ll get behind him on the pretext that they can take over his presidency once he gets elected, if he does.
I think there’s some of them that are gonna conclude he’s the only person has a chance of beating Trump because of what they think are mainstream Democrat voters. I think they’re whistling Dixie. Ah! Let me rephrase that. I think they’re fooling themselves on all of this. I’m sharing with you the way Democrats are looking at this, not the way I’m looking at the Democrats. I think they’re frustrated beyond our ability to measure it. I think they are beside themselves, because their wish list would have somebody like Warren or Kamala Harris or one of these radical leftists win it going away.
But none of them are. None of them are showing up in any way other than Warren that gives the radical leftists any kind of confidence. But it all boils down to beating Trump, and it comes down to traditional Washington, D.C., political consultants who still believe in this idea that elections are won by getting most of the 20% undecided or the moderates or the independents, whatever you want to call them. And that’s where I think that’s not the case in this election. And I don’t know how many recent elections it has been the case. But we’ll have to see how it all shakes out.
Back to this Republican special election tomorrow. As I say, it’s easy to get caught up in it. This is North Carolina 09. That’s the district, and the Drive-Bys are saying, “Well, this is it. If Trump loses this, if the Republicans lose this, that’s the surest sign that Trump is damaged and can’t win reelection,†and that’s how they’re setting this up. So that no matter what the outcome is tomorrow night, this election is going to be the beginning of the death knell for Donald Trump, like Robert Mueller was, and like Russia collusion was, and like Kavanaugh was, like all these other hoaxes have been.
This is the next one that they’re going to try to utilize as the indication, the signal that it’s over for Donald Trump. But I don’t know how big a test it is. Politics is name recognition. This guy running on the Democrat side, McCready, has had the name ID in this district. He’s been running for 27 months. He’s been running for this seat for over two years. The Republican candidate, Bishop, is largely unknown — and whoever wins has to immediately start running again since the next election is just over a year away. So it’s a special election in the middle of the term.
And it’s really hard to extrapolate special election turnout into election-year turnout. Trump’s in Fayetteville tonight. I’m sorry. Did I say tomorrow? He’s in Fayetteville tonight. Which would indicate that Trump thinks that this is important and is in there to try to sway thinking, which will happen. But McCready has been running since 2017. He said last week that he “has used his 27 months on the trail to try to appeal to voters across the spectrum, not just Democrats.â€
You see, the dirty little secret is that these Democrats, they can’t win with their base. It’s the exact opposite of what… I can’t tell you . Starting in 2012 and then in 2016 there’s a parade of Republicans candidates that troop through here. They come in to kiss the ring, as you can well imagine. They come in to say hello. Snerdley greets them and seats them out there in the very, very impressive living-room area, and then I look walk in and greet them.
And to a person, to a man who’s come in, it’s, “Rush, we can’t win with our base alone. We’re gonna have to find a way to peel off some Democrats, and we’re gonna have to find a way to peel off some of those independents.†I said, “Why can’t we win with our bace?†We don’t have enough of them, Rush! If we get all of our base, we can’t win. The Democrats have flooded the country with a bunch of illegal immigrants and all this and that.†I said, “Well, okay. That aspect of it makes sense.†But then Trump comes along and wins with his base.â€
“Yeah, but, Rush, Trump wasn’t running as a Republican.†Yes, he was. You know what’s amazing to me? You go to the Sunday shows yesterday, Meet the Press. Who do they bring to on to explain the Trump voter? Who was the guest on Meet the Press yesterday? Jonah Goldberg. Who does CNN…? He doesn’t know about Trump. He’s a Never Trumper. He doesn’t know about Trump. I maintain that nobody outside of the Trump aura has no idea why Trump was elected and who his voters are.
They’ve spent the past 2-1/2 years making fun of these people, mocking them, ridiculing them. Then you go to CNN. David Frum is then the expert to explain the Trump voter. So you’ve got Never Trumper on the Drive-By networks on the Sunday shows trying to explain the Trump voter. They need to ask me. (Except I would decline the invitation.) But I maintain that these people don’t know the Trump voter. They don’t know the extent of it. They don’t know why people voted for Trump. They think they do, but they don’t know. And in their minds right now the way they talk to themselves, they can’t imagine Trump being reelected.
They are convinced that enough Trump supporters have gotten sick and tired of the things they’re tired of. They’re tired of Trump’s mannerisms. They’re tired of Trump’s hairstyle. They’re tired of Trump’s lack of character and morality. They’re tired of Trump’s tweets. So they think all of you are too. They think the only choice, the only hope Trump has is the Democrats blow it. But Trump won with a base election, and Trump’s job is to turn it out again. Hence my need today to try to remind everybody what this was always gonna be if Trump were to win, which he did.
