Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right, 99.7% of the time.
The reason for that is that the views expressed by the host of this program are the result of a daily relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
And we find it and we proclaim it.
It drives a bunch of people crazy.
Your tune the most listened to, the most talked about, the most talked about host.
Radio Talk Show in a country, 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, Rush Limbaugh here serving humanity.
So you see how this works.
We have an innocent lion named Cecil killed in a game preserve by an American dentist who paid $50,000 for the opportunity, and now claims he's very, very sorry and he didn't know the circumstances, and he feels horrible.
He's in hiding.
Thehill.com has done everything in an imitation of Brian Rush.
Remember, after the Aurora Colorado movie theater shooting, Brian Ross claimed that the Tea Party membership roster out there had a name exactly of the shooter.
Could it be?
Brian Ross asked one, maybe that the shooter, the Aurora Colorado movie theater, was a Tea Party member.
We can't confirm it.
We can't confirm it, but we are actively looking into it.
Turned out to be totally bogus, and the Aurora shooter was just a you know a stoner leftist.
What?
That's what he was a stoner leftist.
So now, same thing, the Hill.com, we've got this dentist whose name is Walter Palmer, and they've dug deep and they found out that Walter Palmer donated $5,000 to the Mitt Romney presidential campaign.
And they ran a tweet.
Cecil the lion killer, Walter Palmer donated to Romney.
Here's a picture of Cecil dead on the left, with a portrait of Romney in front of a bookcase on the right.
Remember now, Mitt Romney, the guy who put his dog on the roof of the family station wagon on a vacation trip.
Remember Mitt Romney, the guy who didn't care that the wife of one of his employees died for lack of health care.
Remember Mitt Romney, who Harry Reid said didn't pay his income taxes for 10 years.
Mitt Romney, who would no more kill a lion, evade taxes, or harm a dog, or be uncaring about some employee's wife now, total character assassination and destruction.
And now they're continuing.
Here's what the pressure's gonna be next is for Romney to give the $5,000 back, even though he's no longer running.
And what do you think if that claim is made, just to ask you, Mr. Snerdley, if the media puts pressure on Romney to give the money back, what do you think Romney will do?
He'll give it back with an apology and so forth.
So I this is just on the on the heels of all Rolling Stone Magazine's about to be sued out of existence for a fake, totally made-up story of campus fraternity rape at the University of Virginia is now out with a story today headlined what the Trump and Cosby allegations reveal about rape culture.
Even though the phony Daily Beast allegation of Trump rape has been blown to smithereens, it didn't happen.
Meanwhile, over here is Hillary Clinton who is swimming in Planned Parenthood donations, practically drowning in Planned Parenthood donations, and not a word about it.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, I I since Cecil the Lion here has the story has found its way back into the mainstream political soap opera today.
CNN points out near the bottom of one of their dozen articles on C, and I'm not kidding, CNN has a number of stories on the death of Cecil the Lion On their political page on their webpage.
And near the bottom of one of their articles on Cecil's death, I'm going to read to you.
Cecil's death this month is likely to have a damaging effect on his pride, officials said.
Now, for those of you in Rio Linda, and for you LIVs out there, low information voters, we're not talking about Cecil's self-esteem, because he doesn't have any more.
Cecil is dead.
when you talk about Cecil's pride, talking about his family, his crib, a pride of Lyons is a family of Lyons.
It's not self-esteem as you've attended those classes in school.
Okay, so the saddest part of all is that now that Cecil is dead, the next lion in the hierarchy in his pride is Jericho, the lion.
Jericho will most likely kill all of Cecil's kids.
Cubs here, but I didn't want to confuse you.
Jericho, reading from the CNN story.
Cecil, who will now interpret or inherit the uh crown from Cecil.
Jericho will most likely kill all of Cecil's kids so that he, Jericho, can insert his own bloodline into the females.
This from the Zimbabwe conservation force.
They continued with this is standard procedure for lions, which is going to compound the problem.
The females of the pride could actually die trying to defend their babies from the new king of the hill, Jericho.
Now, can we talk about equality and uh animal rights here for just a second?
The concept of equality.
You know, our young children think it's the coolest thing.
And it's something that can be achieved.
And when you try to point out to them what happens in the animal, the concept of equality just vanishes.
The concept of equality and fairness just gets blown to smithereens in the animal world.
There's no such thing as equality.
And there's no such thing as fairness.
And these guys, by the way, at the conservation, they're exactly right.
This is exactly what happens in a pride of lions.
Now that Cecil has succumbed, Jericho's going to move in there and make it all his.
Now, Jericho may be an animal, but he instinctively knows that he's got to get rid of Cecil's bloodline.
And he does that by killing all the Cecil's kids.
And the female lions, the mothers, are going to defend their kids as all mothers do.
And Jericho isn't going to care because he's like Bill Cosby here.
Or Clinton or take your pick of any of these abusive males.
He's going to move in there and he's going to try to wipe out Cecil's kids and anything standing in his way, which will be the kids' mothers, which are Cecil's wives.
I mean, so the low information voters understand this.
People in reality, what?
Well, that's this is true.
I was getting to it.
If you if you just let me look, I know where my sentences are going.
If you would just let me.
You're like Phil Donahue.
He used to, when I was on with Phil Donahue, he always tried to finish my sentences.
I knew where I was going and he didn't.
Now the next thing that happens is that the females, the mothers of Cecil's kids, they understand the jeopardy they're in.
Because Jericho wants to wipe out any vestige of Cecil's existence.
There's not going to be any memorial service for Cecil among the lions, folks.
It doesn't happen.
There's not going to be a funeral.
There won't be a memorial service.
There won't be any of that.
Jericho's going to move in there and try to dominate everything and take over this pride.
Well, now the mother of Cecil's kids, knowing full well that their babies are in jeopardy, might automatically go into heat to try to distract Jericho with sex, like women always do, from their other activities.
If they can go into heat and get Jericho all hot and bothered, then Jericho go in there and produce more lions with the mothers of Cecil's kids, thereby saving their own kids and giving birth to Jericho's kids and give a brand new pride birth.
You've got half brothers and half-sister lions.
And the only thing that matters then is is the conservation department going to be fair with the welfare payments.
And the food stamps.
Because proof of uh parentage and lineage, I mean the conservation bunch gonna have to watch this very carefully.
But I have not made any of this up.
That is exactly what the female line, in order to protect themselves and their babies, they'll go into heat to try to distract Jericho.
Because, you know, male lions are like male humans.
Uh get them all hot and bothered down there between the legs and they'll start thinking there instead of with their heads.
These female lions are like women everywhere.
They know that.
They don't mess around.
There's no feminism or any of that stuff.
It's just standard operating procedure, nature the way it's always been, which is survivable.
Survive.
It's just all about survival.
I'm not this is exactly what this is all about.
And you might have a trouble believing it, but Jericho, the male lion is going to interpret the crown now from Cecil is a threat.
He's not like the vice president is assuming office here and uh benevolent and loves it.
No, no, no, no.
This is competitive is bloody out there, and it's all about survivability.
Now, you if you're asking, how do these female lions know to go on it?
It's good, folks, that's called nature.
They're not actually, they don't go to school to learn this.
It's just nature.
Call it pre-programming by the creator uh part, even chalk it up to climate change.
The lions knew what they have to do to survive in the midst of climate change, and that's produce more lions.
I don't know.
Whatever.
But it's nature.
The female lions don't have to be taught this.
They don't read Cosmo.
They just know exactly what to do.
And when you look at it, there's nothing cuddly about nature at this point.
It is, as the poets say, it's it's red in tooth and claw.
But all of that isn't gonna matter because all anybody's gonna see is that picture of Cecil next to the picture of Romney with the story that the dentist who killed Cecil gave Romney $5,000.
No, Jericho is not gonna.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not gonna happen.
No, no, startly, what are you trying to get me in trouble?
Jericho, the replacement lion for Cecil, is not gonna run up the rainbow flag here.
And no, no, no.
That's that isn't isn't gonna happen.
That's that doesn't happen here, folks.
That somebody raises the rainbow flag and they're gonna run them out of the pride.
In the lion world, that at least.
Anyway, that's that's what's next to happen.
And it's at CNN and the, I mean, I'm translamp for, I'm putting it in English or human behavioral terms for you, but that's exactly what's gonna happen here.
The wives of Cecil know the only chance they have of survivability is to go into heat and get Jericho in the bedroom with them rather than in nursery trying to kill her kids.
That's it.
It's no more complicated than that.
Now, we finish this, we're done with that.
We're gonna get brief time out, we'll get back to whatever it else was we.
Well.
No, no, I've not forgotten where I was uh in the in the Trump story about the Trump campaign, and a mistake that the Republican Party is making, thinking they need to improve their standing with Latinos and Hispanic voters to win.
Now, there's nothing wrong if they do that, but that's not the road to victory.
That's not what they have to do.
Romney's already proven it.
And when you hear me run the numbers, that will report the numbers that have already been run on what it would have taken.
Let me just I'll cut to the chase.
For Romney to have won given everything else that happened in 2012, he would have needed 70 percent of the Latino vote.
Not gonna happen, right?
However, given everything else that happened, if Romney had just secured an additional four percent of the white vote, he would have won in 2012.
Now, which of those two is more attainable, more doable.
Romney, nor any Republican is going to get 70 percent of the Latino vote.
Now, you know, I say that, I I can actually see where I'm wrong about that given certain circumstances.
But Romney wasn't gonna do it.
And the Republican establishment is not gonna do it the way they're going about it.
They're not gonna get a significant increase in the Latino vote by being Democrat Party light.
They're not gonna get it by being for amnesty.
They're not gonna get it by not criticizing Obama.
They're not gonna get it by reaching out to Hispanics on the basis of liberal type issues.
And even if they did, if they knew exactly how to do it, they're still not gonna get 70 percent of the Latino vote, which is what Romney would have needed if everything else was the same.
But achieving four percent additional white vote, well, that's that's much more doable than getting enough of the Hispanic vote to win.
Well, now what does it also tell you?
It tells you why Romney lost.
And we all know the reasons why Romney lost.
There were a lot of Republican base that stayed home, and many of them happen to be white.
Now you're see, here's the thing.
You're hearing all this talk of whites are a minority or soon to be a minority.
People of color are becoming the majority, and the days of white dominated America are history, and forget about them because it's never gonna happen again.
It's about time you came to peace with that because your people's days have come and gone.
And your day of running this country is over.
Well, it's wishful thinking on the part of leftist identity politics experts.
But the fact of the matter is, if Romney had just achieved four percent more support of uh white voters, he would have won.
And seventy-one percent of the country to this day still white, seventy-three percent still Christian.
So these people on the left are just they're they're they're they're relying on getting away with intimidation and lies and dispiriting attacks on things that people hold dear.
And they're succeeding.
The Republican Party's helping, by the way, at this succeeding, getting voters to stay home.
But I'll give you the details of all this, how you get there in uh in mere moments.
And yeah, we're gonna get to the Patriots thing and the Brady suspension being uphill.
We're all gonna get to it, folks.
That's why we're three three hours here every day.
It takes that much.
I mean, I could do all this in the first 20 minutes and go home, but all I would be able to do is tell you what happened, you would not benefit from my own analysis of it, which is why you're here.
And uh that analysis, as long as the reportage consumes uh vast majority of the three hours of the program.
And I'll also have to get some phones in.
We're gonna start that now with uh Allen in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Glad you called, and I appreciate your patience.
And hello.
Hello, Rush.
Uh, it's good to talk to you.
I'd just like to uh talk for a moment about Jericho Trump.
Uh this is a guy.
Oh, wait a minute.
I got that mixed up with your past story.
Yes.
Uh Donald Trump is a man of monstrous eagle, but I think people love him because he's he doesn't even pretend to be humble.
But my suggestion is this, Rush.
He doesn't want to be president.
And he has he doesn't even want to be nominated.
But he he has something to do.
He has a company to run, but he loves America.
And I think he sees that the nomination process uh is broken.
And he's trying to teach Republicans how to run for president.
And I think when he finds that candidate that most closely uh aligns with his with his thought processes, he's gonna throw his support in behind that candidate.
Well, now that's an interesting uh observation.
It's because you know it's not just his thought processes.
I don't can Trump follow your theory now, can Trump teach somebody else to be like he is.
I mean, Trump, we're all unique personalities.
No Trump Trump is unique and different from everybody else, but he is really showing how unique he is in the world of politics.
Well, that's true.
But I think what he can do is draw those positive qualities from a candidate or candidates that are out there now among the fifteen or so.
And when he finds the one that's closest to him and what he wants to accomplish has maybe similar strengths to his.
So Trump really doesn't want to win.
He just getting in this to show the others how it can be done.
And at some point he's gonna watch whoever is best at emulating him, he's then going to get out and endorse them.
I think that's what's going to happen here.
He I don't believe he even wants to be president.
He wants to fix something that's broken.
That's what he's been doing for years and very successfully.
Um this, I think, is where the smart minds, the wizards of smart in the Washington establishment are beginning to scratch their heads.
Because I think from the beginning of this, they've all said what you just said.
He doesn't want to win this.
He doesn't really want to get the nomination.
He doesn't want to be president.
And they used that to comfort themselves that this had a lifespan and he was going to get out or implode.
I think they're starting to ask themselves now.
Wait a minute, are we wrong?
Does this guy actually intend to run and win?
And I think both parties are starting to very seriously ask themselves that question.
Stay with the phones for a couple minutes here.
Lewis in Omaha, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
It's an honor to talk to you.
Uh believe the first time I heard you on the radio was around uh September, maybe October of 1988 when I was stationed in Camp Hamilton near San Diego on a station down there.
So you're a lifer.
I mean, that's practically day one.
Get to listen to you uh consistently for the probably the next ten years.
I kind of caught up with you again when I've moved out to Omaha after I got out of the Marines, so I'm glad you came back.
It's great to know that you're still there.
Yeah.
Well, the reason I'm calling is because I consider myself to be a very hardcore conservative, and I don't like Trump at all.
I d I mean I remember him way back when he was a liberal, and I don't see anything that's changed.
I mean, he's been a liberal for about sixty-nine years, now for about three months, he's talking conservative talking points, and suddenly that makes him one of us.
I haven't seen him change his actions, just change the words that he's saying.
And I just just do not understand.
It feels like people around the way they follow Obama around.
Well, you're you're you're not alone in this.
Um there are a number of conservative uh media types.
Not uh not a bunch, but they're not.
I'm not I don't definitely don't consider myself to be establishment type.
I mean, I probably disagree with McCain ninety-nine percent of the time, except for when he talks about national defense, but Trump went after his being a POW.
I mean, he could have attacked him on so many different other ways, but that just kind of rubbed me the wrong way as a veteran.
But I know there's veterans that like Trump.
I mean, I don't understand it, but you don't like the way he went after McCain on the POW.
Well, not with the POW thing.
I mean, there's a host of different things that you could.
Well, you really want to get into that because that's the one of the reasons why honest to God now, Lewis, one of the reasons why Trump is resonating so well with veterans is be you are you not aware of the anger a lot millions of veterans have aimed at McCain over this?
They think McCain's a sellout on POWs and MIAs.
But I mean, there's I mean, n like I said, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, I'm against John McCain, what he stands for.
But you know, the one thing that he went after is probably about the only thing that I actually would uh honor McCain for.
You know, I mean, what he did for our our country is what most Americans would never be able to endure.
But, you know, anything else is fair game.
Why he went after that, I don't know.
Well, he actually didn't now start to get into repeating old history here, but he was misquoted and misreported about what he's he didn't say.
What the Washington Post and the media then ran with supposedly he had said about McCain.
Look, I don't I don't want to revisit all that.
My my point to you is that when I tell you there's a lot of conservative media, I'm not talking about the establishment media.
I'm talking about some conservative bloggers who think Trump's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
They don't trust him, they don't like him.
They say the same thing you said.
This guy has given money to liberals, he's been a liberal, he's got public statements in favor of Obamacare that you can find and all these things.
And I know that there's some people who um who support Trump who will tell you they don't care right now what he's saying, that he represents something else that they want.
And it's it's the willingness to fight, it's the willingness to tell the media uh what's what, uh, and various Democrats what what, what's what.
Some people think that it's possible for anybody to evolve.
Some are saying, yeah, yeah, I doubted Trump, but I think any American right now that's paying attention that doesn't disavow what's been going on in a Democrat Party for seven years would be suspect.
So uh never gonna you're never gonna have universal total support for anybody doing anything.
So we'll just have to see how this plays out.
This one's him serving here, folks.
I'm doing objective journalism here in reporting all this stuff, but you have no idea what I think about any of it, do you yet?
I mean, in terms of people, supporters, endorsement, you have no idea, right?
I am the ideal drive-by journalist.
Well, no, no, I'm the ideal real journalist, real anchor man here, just telling you what's going on and endeavoring to uh to understand it.
Take the occasion of this call to go back to this story that we dredged up from the archives, it's by Byron York and the Washington Examiner in uh 2013, maybe it's almost just a little over two years ago.
Now, the point here, folks, is you you take a look at the establishment of Republicanism.
You can you can talk about Trump all you want, Lewis, but there are plenty of Republicans who have been voting Republican for years and are fed up by what those Republicans are not doing.
The Republicans said, well, we can't do anything unless we have a majority in the House.
Voters gave them that in 2010.
Next, the Republicans, well, we can't really do anything until we get a majority in the Senate.
Oh, gave them that.
Now they're saying, well, we really can't do anything because we don't have 60 votes.
And the voters are saying, screw this.
We have given you majorities in both houses, and we don't see any evidence of it.
And they're livid.
It's not just you know, Trump is coming off as more authentic than the people these Republicans are voting for.
Many of them.
And the authenticity is a big deal.
So many people today, more than I think in my entire career here behind the golden EIB microphone, have suspicions about the kind of people that go into politics.
Meaning that they they're robotic, they're programmed, they're phony, but not authentic.
They're not really real.
You never get the real person because they're so on guard, don't want to say the wrong thing.
And adopting that kind of existence personality, not saying the wrong thing means you don't say anything.
And you find clever and creative ways to say nothing.
And people are sick and tired of politicians saying nothing, or even worse, saying things that voters want to hear, but then not seeing any accompanying action.
Uh it's it's much like how many of you um pay attention to commentary, say, uh, well, anywhere.
Uh written, published commentary, say on blogs, or here on radio or on TV.
And you see.
Hey, let's just stick with conservatism here for a second.
So you can you have a conservative commentator, not important here to mention names, because mentioning names would distract people's attention from the point I want to make, which is that on our side, folks, and I was conversing about this with a good friend of mine before the program today.
You look at the left is made up of what activists.
Yeah, they have their beliefs and they have their words and you know, sick and and sighting and so forth as they are, but they also have lots of action.
They're out there protesting, they're agitating, they're doing whatever they can to implement what and they've succeeded.
They're a minority.
They are a minority, they're bullying their way to victory.
Our side.
What have I always said about conservatism?
That it is in large part to understand conservatism.
It's a it's an intellectual pursuit or application.
It shouldn't be because it's just common sense.
Liberalism is simply the pursuit of emotions.
And it's much easier to tap into emotion and motivate emotion than it is to tap into intellect and motivate that.
And I've I've seen it over and over again.
Uh we have a lot of smart people on our side who are satisfied with intelligent commentary and words, but there's never any action behind it.
Very rarely any action behind it.
There's all kinds of commentary and analysis.
This is wrong, that's wrong, this is good, that's good, but it ends there.
There's no effort behind the words to implement any beliefs that appear to be apparent by virtue of what someone says.
And I think that people on the right happen to be satisfied when they think they have succeeded in winning a verbal argument.
The left is not interested in that.
The left doesn't care winning, losing verbal arguments.
They don't even want to get into debates.
They don't give a rat's rear-end about that.
All they care about is getting rid of us as a viable political opposition.
Just getting rid of us.
That's all I care about.
They don't care about winning arguments.
They're not satisfied when they they really celebrate the people that do.
Look at I'm convinced they looked past all of Bill Clinton's negatives because Clinton routinely, in their eyes, made mincemeat a conservatives, and that was his value.
And it's the did Obama.
And Obama's been a disaster for the black population in this country economically.
Let's just face it, he's been a disaster for everybody economically.
But he's loved and adored by people that love and adore him because he makes mincemeat of conservatives all the time, and that's all that matters to these people.
We're not making mincemeat of anybody.
But that's what Trump's doing.
Trump is starting to make mincemeat out of people.
And the people he's making mincemeat out of are leftists.
So people are shoving aside the news when they hear it, hey, you know what, you're being fooled.
This guy's not one of you.
This guy's a liberal Democrat, and he's running the biggest scam you've ever seen yet.
You're gonna end up paying the price.
People are willing to look past it at this stage.
It's still early.
And there are a lot of other factors that make this fun for people.
But when you start talking about the actual winning of elections, and then doing something with the victories, Republicans are winning elections, but that's where it stops, as far as their voters are concerned.
So if you go back to the 2012 presidential race, and you listen to what the Republican establishment today is saying they need to do, their candidate needs to do to win the White House, you find out how off track they are and how greatly they are misjudging what they have to do to win.
The headline for Byron York's piece back in 2013 is winning Hispanic vote would not be enough for GOP.
But winning the white vote would be everything.
After six months, this just six months after the election here.
After six months of mulling over November's election results, many Republicans remain convinced that the party's only path to future victory is to improve the party's appeal to Hispanic voters.
But how many Hispanic voters do Republicans need to attract before the party can again win the White House?
Well, they need a lot.
They need more than they're ever going to get.
They cannot win the White House pursuing the Hispanic vote.
And yet this is the singular belief the establishment has.
They can't win unless they get the Hispanic vote.
The truth is they're never going to get enough of it to win.
Because they are losing the support of other demographic groups in the process.
And that base that they need to win is exactly what Donald Trump, two years later, is tapping into.
And this is what has them so under.
Folks, at the Republican establishment level, you know as well as I do that if they could throw away the Christian right and the conservative base of the Tea Party, they would do it.
Even if it meant being in the wilderness of defeat for a couple seconds.
They would do it.
For whatever reasons that they don't like conservatives, for whatever reason they don't like Christian voters, whatever it is, they would do it.
But Trump is their worst nightmare.
Trump is tapping into the exact group of voters, and the group of voters made up of different demographic groups of people.
But Trump is tapping into that universe of voters the Republican Party can win with.
And he is demonstrating to them how they can win.
They don't like it.
It's like a kid being shown if you had a magic formula to show your kid eating spinach would make him live to a hundred.
He'd still reject it because he doesn't want to do it because you're saying so.
This is what we're dealing with here.
And I gotta take a break.
I'm a little long here, and still much to do.
Sit tight, my friends.
We'll be back before you know it.
Okay, very simply, cutting to the chase.
Donald Trump, love him or hate him, worried about him or not, there's something that's happening.
You can see it.
All you have to do is admit it, and the Republican establishment doesn't want to.
Trump is showing their theory to win the White House is not going to work.
They want to stick to the theory no matter what, because they actually do want to win with it, but they won't.
They simply the formulas don't work.
It's this simple.
And this article in 2013 provides all the data from Byron York.
Romney needed 70% more Hispanic votes than he got to win the presidency.
If they're focused on one demographic, and the Republican establishment is right now, Hispanics are it.
That's why immigration is it.
That's why amnesty is it.
Romney already won a majority of the independence.
Years ago they told us that's what you had to do to win the White House.
The independence, he who wins the independence wins the election, right?
Well, somehow that went out the window because we're now winning independence, but we're not winning the elections.
So what happened?
Well, fooled again.
Next up, win the Hispanics.
Gotta get the Hispanic vote.
Don't get the Hispanic vote, you're histoire.
Romney would have needed 70% additional Hispanic vote.
Never gonna happen.
But he needed only 4% more white votes to win.
If he would have just gotten 4% more of the white vote.
Now, the Democrats don't want to hear this because the Democrats are in the midst of trying to break down the old order, which they think is white patriarchal power structure discriminating against everybody.
It's the root of all evil.
From the days of the founding of this country, the white male majority is the root of all evil.
And everything the left is doing is bent on destroying the power of that particular block.
They're doing it with guilt.
They're doing it with the law, they're doing it by upending the culture, they're doing everything they can as a minority bullying their way in to blow up.
And Trump is reviving it, folks.
It's no more complicated than that.
And that's why there's so much, it's not a racial thing.
It's a numbers thing.
It's how it's coalescing groups to win elections.
The Republican Party has chosen the impossible route.
70% more Hispanic votes than Romney got, but 4% additional white vote would have won.
Why?
The white vote is so large.
The white population is so large that getting 4% more of it, going from 60 to 64% of whites who vote would have won the race for Romney.
So they got to ask themselves, why didn't they vote for Romney?
Who'd they vote for?
Did they vote?
But it's a lot easier to get 4% of 65, 70% of the country than to go get 70% of 18% of the country, or 25%, whatever it is.
And yet, who are the Republicans angered?
The Republican Party joining a Democrat Party and angering white voters.
And there's Trump tapping right into them.
Blue collar white voter Democrats, you name it.
That's why everybody is out of sorts in the establishment today.
Okay, on to other things.
