Dems Awakening to Slow Motion Explosion
Apr 29, 2019
RUSH: Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. What do you know, the Drive-By Media, the Democrat Party are starting to wake up. I don’t think they can become fully woke, but they’re starting to wake up to reality. That the Mueller report was a bomb, the Mueller report was a dud, and that they are not prepared to deal with Trump on any issue of substance. They put every weapon they have in that Mueller report, in Trump-Russia collusion, and they are slowly awakening to the fact that it has bombed out on them. You can see it in the headlines all over the place. Let me just share with you some of the headlines. You can even see it in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night that nobody watched because Trump wasn’t there. Trump went out to a rally in Wisconsin. Wait ’til you hear the journalist that won the award of the night, the prize winner. The Merriman Smith Memorial Award went to some guy at the Washington Post. Wait ’til you hear why and what the story was.
But some of the headlines. “The Clintons Are Nervous About 2020,†is one story. This is about their fading — you know, they’re doing this tour where they sell tickets to go out there and speak to people on stage trying to prove they can draw crowds like Trump does. The Nation magazine telling the left that it the Mueller report doesn’t just dispel the conspiracy theories that have engulfed political and media circles for two years. It puts to rest the most popular recent one, that attorney general William Barr engaged in a cover-up. Leftists everywhere are telling each other, gulp, gulp, it didn’t work. Here’s another one. This is from the Chicago Tribune. “Remember the #NeverTrump Movement? It Collapsed.†From Barron’s, sister publication of Wall Street Journal — they do a poll every now and then of big-time money managers. And their most recent poll of the big-time money managers they always survey, “Trump Will Win in 2020,†and it’s a four-page story when you print it out complete with all the data backup. These money managers believe that it will be Biden who gets the Democrat nomination.
How about Trump out there tweeting and warning Crazy Bernie: they’re out to screw you again, Bud. Are you gonna let ’em get away with it this time? “Democrats Sweat Trump’s Economy: ‘We don’t really have a robust national message right now.’†Politico: “One top Democrat fears that could be ‘a recipe for disaster in 2020.’†Dems sweat Trump economy. Quote: We don’t really have a robust — no kidding. You guys haven’t been talking about issues for the longest time since Obama, actually, because, well, they’ve got ’em, don’t misunderstand. They’ve got the issues. They’re just not eager to talk. The Young Turks are, the socialists and all, they’re promising all of that. The women in the Democrat Party, as it turns out, are livid that it looks like none of them are gonna get the Democrat Party nomination. They’re fit to be tied.
Here is a story from NBC News. “Can a woman beat Trump? Some Democrats wonder if it’s worth the risk.†Holy smokes! What a headline. Is it worth the risk to nominate a woman just to nominate a woman? This sounds like what they did with Mondull in 1984. You know, they gave Mondull the Democrat nomination against Reagan running for his second term ’cause they knew it was gonna be a slaughter. And they knew it was gonna be a disaster. And so they rewarded an old war horse, Walter F. Mondull with the distinct honor of being a Democrat presidential nominee knowing he was gonna get shellacked, but it got him out of the way, paving the way for Democrats they thought could win later on. That’s what this headline sounds like. “Can a woman beat Trump? Some Democrats wonder if it’s worth the risk.†Meaning, do we nominate a woman just to say we nominated a woman? Do we nominate a woman just to say that? What if we go down to defeat? Is it worth it? “Three influential activists have launched an organization to mobilize women in U.S. politics.†Wait a minute. Mobilize women? I thought women had been mobilized ever since the soccer mom days. I thought women determined who won elections. I thought woman determined who won the presidency. What do you mean, mobilize women? This is a story that is a tantamount admission to failure. If they haven’t motivated women by now, what the hell is gonna do it?
Next headline. This is from QZ.com. “Why do Election 2020’s male candidates get better coverage than women?†Another story indicating that the women in the Democrat Party are not happy. You know the old saying, “Happy wife, happy life.†Well, it may not be working out. And some news — it’s not news — reminders of exactly who Biden is and what he’s done policy-wise over the course of his career are starting to surface now. These are not flattering. They’re not gonna sit well with the others in the Democrat Party.
Another headline here, this from The Guardian U.K.: “Time to impeach? Headache for Democrats over how to take on Trump.†Wait a minute! See what I mean? Two years ago it was a slam dunk, Trump was gone, Mueller was gonna get the goods, Trump-Russia collusion. Even Pencil Neck, Pencil Neck went on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday night, and Bill Maher called him a Trump stalker. (imitating Maher/Pencil Neck) “Wait a minute, pal. You got nothing.†“I do I have collusion.†“Well, where is it? Where’s the evidence? Mueller didn’t have any. There wasn’t any evidence of any collusion. Mueller didn’t have it. You put all your eggs in the Mueller basket and we got nothing.†He ended up calling him a stalker, essentially saying, “Pencil Neck, get real, babe. I mean, wake up to reality.â€
Another headline, PJ Media: “Trump winning the 2020 money game for now.†The statistic here is that Trump and the RNC (Are you ready for this?) have raised 21 times the amount of money Barack Hussein O had raised at this same time in The One’s reelection cycle. Now, that’s just gonna change as the days and weeks of the future unfold. Here’s another. This is from TIMEmagazine.com: “Americans Are Some of the Most Stressed-out People in the World.†I wonder why. Could that be the Drive-By Media with all these promises? I mean, the news every day is a daily dose of poison, and the poison is pessimism. The poison is negativism. Now, those are just some of the headlines that make up one of the many themes today that the Democrats are slowly awakening to the fact that everything they counted on has blown up in their faces. There are, how many? Four women are now in the Democrat primary list, or is it…?
Let’s see. We’ve got Kamala Harris. We’ve got Kirsten Gillibrand, who someone called “the whitest woman in America.†I can’t tell her from one of the White Walkers on Game of Thrones, actually, now that I think about it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: At any rate, back to what I was saying about Kirsten Gillibrand looking like a White Walker. So you got her; you got Kamala Harris. Who else? Who are the other women? You got… Oh, yeah, Tulsi Gabbard, who wants to serve. Amy Klobuchar. It’s not Klobuchar. It’s Klobuchar. Amy Klobuchar. Okay. So there’s at least four, and what we’re hearing is, they’re not happy. It looks like they think none of ’em are gonna get the nomination. Remember, this has happened before. Patsy Schroeder, who we saw on TV on Friday, and I could not believe it.
(That’s as much as I’ll say.) Remember, she ran for president once back in the early nineties. She was a member of Congress from Colorado and now lives somewhere here in Florida. She quit the race when she realized she couldn’t win, and she broke down in tears, and it looks like we’ve got much the same thing kind of happening here. Now all this attention on Mayor Pete and his husband? So it’s just… Don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying it’s all lost for the Democrats.
(interruption) No. I’m just saying that they are awakening to the fact that everything they bundled together, that they told themselves meant they were gonna win in 2020 — and then never, ever lose again after that and get rid of Trump before 2020 — they can see the explosion in slo-mo. It’s a slow-motion explosion right in front of ’em heading their way. They can see it now. The full force, the full effect hasn’t hit them yet. But they know it’s coming, and we’ll have the backup for that on the program today.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is Lawrence. It’s great to have you, sir. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?
RUSH: Good!
CALLER: I just wanted to say that I’ve been listening to you since I was a baby and my ma always jokes that I should have gotten child support because you raised me more than my dad did.
RUSH: (laughing) Yes.
CALLER: I wanted to just real quick, ask a question and get your thoughts: You know, I go to school out here. It’s one of the most Democratic schools around, but the big argument that I have is essentially since the Democrats put all their cards into the Mueller report, what do you think is gonna happen next? Kind of, what do you think the next attack on Trump is going to be or the Republican Party in general and how do they go and ride that wave, you know, into the future?
RUSH: Well, it’s kind of telegraphed in these news stories. The next… They’ve seen the explosion. They haven’t given up on this yet. It’s that they are starting to realize it’s a total bomb, and there are various elements within the Drive-By Media telling other people on the left, “Hey, there’s nothing there, and we’ve got a lot of soul-searchin’ do. We had two years of falsehoods and lies and things that never came true and apparently weren’t even close to being true. We’ve got problem.†Others are still in a state of denial.
Now, the next thing to happen is they want to talk to Barr, the attorney general. They honestly — some of them and members of Congress — still believe that Barr is hiding and shielding from them evidence in the report of collusion. They want to bring Barr up and have him testify. They’re gonna subpoena the attorney general. They want to know what’s been redacted because they are convinced that there’s a cover-up. They are convinced that Trump colluded with Russia or obstructed and that Barr is covering for him.
So the argument now is that Barr has agreed to go, but only if it’s just members of Congress asking the questions. If they’re gonna have their staff lawyers ask the questions, he’s not gonna go. So we’re gonna have a standoff here, executive branch versus legislative branch, with Trump openly saying, “I’m not sending my people up it there to be persecuted. I’m not doing it. This is done with. It’s over with. Let’s move on.†The Democrats don’t want to move on.
But some of them are starting to realize that they’re gonna have to. I don’t think they can give up. You ask, “What’s gonna be the next thing they try to use to get Trump?†They’ll never abandon their belief that Trump is a scoundrel, that he’s unfit for public office because he’s just human debris. So they’re never gonna give that up. That’ll continue to be one of their many items of objection to Trump, with all the itinerant insults:
Racist, bigot, misogynist, sexist, homophobe, all these things. They really, at this stage… As the Politico story points out, they’re beginning in certain circles now to get a little panicky because of the economy. That 3.2% growth rate last week and the fact that there’s no inflation has just sent a lot of them reeling. But they can’t. They are physically, they’re constitutionally incapable of giving up on the notion that Trump simply is unqualified and disqualified because he’s human debris.
