	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
	Hi, folks, how are you?
	Here we are on yet another busy broadcast day, right to you from the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
	A telephone number if you want to be on the programs 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
	A big Republican debate tonight, but it has a chance of being really different because only six people on the stage in the primetime debate, the pregame meal at 6 o'clock's got three people, and then the main event at 9.
	And there's a bit of news being made about the 9 o'clock debate tonight on the Fox Business Network.
	And it comes from Chris Steirwald at Fox News.
	Apparently, an accord has been reached between Chris Christie and Jeb Bush.
	And the objective tonight is to team up to take out Marco Rubio.
	There is a battle on for the uh select choice to be seen as the establishment's candidate.
	And right now that's perceived to be Rubio.
	And this kind of reminds me a little bit.
	Go back to uh what was it, 2008, when um what's his name, Huckabee, tossed all of his delegates to McCain in West Virginia in an effort to take out Romney, and that worked.
	And shortly thereafter, the Florida primary came around and McCain won it, and uh by by February, March, the Republican nomination was over, which then gave birth to Operation Chaos here in order to keep the Hillary campaign alive, a Democrat campaign alive, so there'll be something here to talk about through June, keep the audience engaged since the Republican primary was essentially over.
	But the uh story from Steirwald here is the longest standing alliance in the field has been broken as Donald Trump started attacking Ted Cruz and Cruz started responding with several salvos of his own.
	He said that the theory has been that Cruz and Trump have been hands-off to each other, and as such, they've been the number one and two in the recent polling data.
	And that's all out the window now since you know Trump's gone after the Berther angle.
	Now he's going after the Goldman Sachs angle, which uh something popped up about Cruz.
	Details and all this coming up.
	We're setting a table here.
	And in the midst of this alliance having fallen apart now, to whatever degree it existed, uh, we're now hearing of an accord between Christie and Jeb Bush that will manifest as a materialized tonight in the debate tonight with one objective, and that is to stop Marco Rubio.
	Not Trump, not Cruz, but to stop Marco Rubio.
	When we left the program yesterday, I had a I had a teaser of a story that was coming.
	And it came later to the New York Times about how the establishment is warming up to Ted Cruz.
	And it's a stunner.
	It's a New York Times story, so therefore you have to hold it at arm's length.
	But the essence of the story is that the donor class is starting to realize that you can't win the presidency without the base.
	So this whole strategy of trying to win the nomination and the presidency without the base in the Republican Party, apparently, I say apparently, because I'm still not believing this yet, but apparently has been tossed overboard, and now there is a if if if not a warming toward Ted Cruz,
	a relaxing of the chill toward Cruz from the establishment wing of the party, because at the end of the day it is said in the story that they want to win, and that they have realized they're going to need the base to win.
	It's kind of a shocker.
	Uh, and again, the story has now appeared in great detail.
	We'll have uh all of this explained in detail as the program unfold.
	Now, in addition to Christie and Jeb Bush with this new accord here, supposedly, to align tonight to join in universally attacking Rubio to take him out.
	There are long knives out for Rubio.
	Every George Will has a piece that just destroys Rubio today, along the lines of the pieces he has written to try to destroy Donald Trump.
	And as I I look at all of these anti-Rubio stories and posts on blogs and so forth, it really strikes me that it wasn't that many years ago that Marco Rubio was considered the last great hope.
	When Marco Rubio was a local Florida politician.
	What was he in the state senate or the some and he was running around and he'd had this state, the conservatives in this state were totally captivated.
	Rubio was literally considered the next Ronald Reagan, or potentially could be the next Ronald Reagan.
	So he runs for Senate and gets elected.
	And since then, it's amazing.
	I'm I'm I'm sitting here, I sent some friends' notes today, just observing the I don't know how else to describe it, the efforts to to destroy Rubio's future as a presidential candidate, not just in this.
	I mean, the things that are being said and written about Rubio today are intended to take him out for life, I think.
	Untrustworthy, scheming, deceitful.
	It's amazing.
	And it it hit me again, I have to tell you, whether it's warranted or not, it hit me again how remarkably easy it seems to be for us to take out people on our team.
	It it's just here in one primary season, it is seriously up for grabs that Marco Rubio's political future is in the process of being whittled down to nothing.
	And the Democrats aren't the ones doing it.
	And I uh I sent this observation to a couple friends out this morning.
	They wrote back, well, it is what it is.
	Um guys using deceit, the guys this and that.
	I said, Man, it just uh seems like overnight.
	And it's it it predates the presidential campaign, the presidential campaign is just highlighted, you know, right there in the middle of it is the gang A and the apparent disingenuousness on amnesty and and all that show you how serious an issue this is to people.
	If you waver from it, if you are appearing to be scheming, if you are trying to deceive people on it, and it's discovered, you may as well uh wrap it up.
	It is too important an issue, it's the central issue around which so much else is revolving on the Republican side, and there isn't any grace period.
	There doesn't seem to be any do-overs permitted here.
	You get it wrong once, and that's the end of trust that people have for it.
	Seems to be, among many things, what has um befallen Rubio.
	Yeah, he was he was a member of the Florida House, and then he was a speaker of the Florida House.
	I mean, folks, I'm sure you remember this now that I bring it up.
	You talk about a rising star.
	It was Marco Rubio, and compared to the energy and the hope and the I mean, you couldn't, you couldn't attend uh if it was give you an example.
	It was it discovered if it was learned that somebody was hosting a fundraiser for Rubio here, everybody in the world wanted to go.
	I mean, he was the golden boy.
	His story, everything, his ability to articulate conservatism with uh articulation and ease, convinced people that it was from his heart, that there was no stratagem involved.
	It's just who he was.
	He had the uh the story of how his family had come here from Cuba, and how hard working that the typical uh up from your bootstraps to success in America.
	It was a great story, it's true story.
	I'm not I'm not being critical of it, don't misunderstand.
	I'm just sitting here as an observer, literally amazed at how little time it takes to wipe somebody out.
	And tonight they're gonna try, they're trying to dot the I and cross the T on Rubio with this accord between Jeb Bush and Chris Christie.
	Speaking of Jeb Bush.
	I assume by now that many of you have seen the little GIF floating around the GIF.
	Jeb was in.
	Have you seen this, Brian?
	Well, then maybe some of you haven't seen this.
	A GIF is like a live photo on your if you have an iPhone 6S or 6S Plus.
	It's actually uh two or three-second video that's looped over and over again.
	At any rate, Jeb was in an editorial board meeting with the Des Moines Register recently and his watch and an Apple Watch.
	And it rang.
	Somebody had called him, and he had no idea what was happening.
	Now he has been highly touted as an Apple Watch user.
	It has been reported over and over again he loves the Apple Watch.
	His only problem with it he says is it doesn't have good battery life, which I have to tell you I don't understand because I mean I use my Apple Watch every day, and when I hit the hay at the end of that, he's got 40%, 45% battery on it.
	So I've never understood this claim of lousy battery life.
	Anyway, the GIF shows Jeb looking at his watch, he can't believe what's happening.
	And all it is, you watch will answer phone calls for you, and then you transfer them to the phone if you want to pick them up and say if battery life on your watch.
	And it has a ring or some other kind of alert that lets you know.
	And apparently, for the first time, Jeb got a phone call, the watch picked up, and he didn't know what was happening.
	And the look on his face, I have to tell you, was sheer joy when he figured out that his watch can answer the phone and make phone calls.
	It was a fleeting glimpse, but it was sheer joy, like a child discovering some magic.
	Is real.
	But what people are saying is, yeah, yeah, now next show him a supermarket scanner.
	You know, the old story about his dad not knowing what a supermarket scanner was when they took it.
	That was a made-up story.
	And then there's there's this.
	The AP.
	Jeb Bush says that he misjudged the intensity of anger among Republican voters before his White House campaign, and he now believes the country in 2016 is dramatically different than in past elections.
	He has just discovered this, or he's saying that he just discovered this.
	In other words, a subhead would be Jeb Bush Conservative Lives Matter.
	I just think it's important to fight this fight, a reflective Bush said in an interview with the AP.
	I don't know what the consequences politically for me are, but I do think it's important that the Conservative Party nominate a conservative and someone who understands the role of America in the world.
	This is dramatically different because the country is dramatically different, and people are reflecting their anger and angst in a way that is very different than any time I can recall.
	And I have been involved in politics for a long while.
	Bush said, so recognition of that, what I want to do is make sure that the conservative cause is advanced, not just in talk shows and think tanks, and wherever conservatism's talked about in all sorts of different ways, but in governing.
	What's your reaction to this, folks?
	I mean, Jeb is, for all intents and purposes, been in this campaign.
	Well, what would you say since last April or May?
	I mean, as soon as it was possible to get in it, everybody's known Jeb was running.
	And here we are, it was yesterday that he realized this, January 13th.
	Says he misjudged the intensity of anger among Republican voters before he began the campaign and now understands, now believes that the country's dramatically different than in past elections.
	Can I translate this for you?
	And by the way, there's a strong chance this is true.
	There's a very, very strong chance that this is actually true, that he only now did figure this out.
	I think, as part of this giant disconnect that I have often referenced, most recently yesterday, between people who live and govern in Washington and people who don't.
	The people who live in Governor Washington have the slightest idea what life is like for everybody else.
	It's strange, it's foreign, they do not know.
	They do not understand the fear, they don't understand the rage.
	Nikki Haley running around criticizing the anger, criticizing the rage.
	They don't understand it.
	To them, see, this is the key.
	To the people in Washington, this is just your average Democrat president with your average Democrats in charge cycle, and there's going to be an election coming up, and it's our turn to win.
	And if we win, cool.
	If we lose, the Democrats will stay in, but that's about it.
	No realization of how the people in this country view the last seven years and the president and what he is doing to this country and to their future.
	There has been a total lack of recognition.
	A total lack of understanding, a disconnect to the people in Washington.
	The only thing that's different is that the Democrats are in the White House, but that's a cyclical thing.
	It changes.
	There's nothing unusual other than that.
	Obama's just your average Democrat.
	He's like LBJs like JFK's like any other Bill Clinton.
	It's no big deal.
	What Obama's doing is nothing any other Democrat hasn't done.
	We're up against Democrats.
	We're the Republicans and yada yada.
	A total ignorance of how the people who I think make this country work the people leaving this country and where the country is and where it's going.
	Total lack of understanding of the real fear that people have for themselves, for their families, for their yet-to-be-born grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and their fear overall for the country and thus the world.
	I can firmly believe that Jeb hasn't understood that.
	In fact, when they hear about it, they mock it.
	They laugh at it and make fun of it, and they start thinking of people who think this way is kooks and oddballs.
	And angry white males or what have you.
	That's how Nikki Haley can go do a response to the State of the Union and criticize the people who are angry and tell the people who are angry to shut down.
	You only would do that if you really, really don't understand how people feel and why.
	Nikki Haley, too.
	I uh need to close the loop on that too.
	There's been a whole lot of reaction to that.
	Uh my monologues on it yesterday.
	And guess what else happened?
	Bob Schiefer was dragged out of retirement to talk about me and Trump on CBS.
	So we have that coming up.
	And I watched in its entirety last night on YouTube, Trump's rally in Pensacola, Florida.
	Comments on that too as well, plus your phone calls, all coming up as we get back to it right after this.
	No, I think this is a, it's an important thing to take note of.
	Jeb Bush admitting that he misjudged the intensity of anger among Republican voters and only just recently learned of it.
	Now, this anger has been going on since 2010.
	Now you might also say the anger predates 2010.
	The anger, I think, actually began with the stimulus package, the porcelain steal in 2009.
	But 2009, 2010, Obamacare, the anger has been the focal point, the anger has been responsible for two Republican landslide victories in midterm elections in 2010 and 2014.
	How do you miss this?
	How does anybody miss it?
	Or do they not miss it and just disregard it as illegitimate because it's the Republican base, and it's really not that many people, and it's not the kind of people we want to be in business with anyway because they're just perpetually mad and they don't understand how Washington works, or what other rationalization, but how in the world do you miss it?
	It's been the identifying aspect of the Republican Party, a legitimate anger and rage.
	And the rage has only been compounded with each of those two midterm elections, as Republicans campaigned and promised that they would go back to Washington and stop as much of this as they could, and they haven't tried.
	They haven't even tried.
	The Republicans facilitated the Iran deal, for example, with the Corker bill.
	Removing the whole prospect for the whole the whole thing from uh from the concept of being a treaty.
	And then there have been all of these faux votes on stopping and repealing Obama here, which never amounted to anything.
	There hasn't been any serious effort to stop Obama when it comes to illegal immigration or amnesty.
	How can you miss the anger?
	I don't know how you miss it.
	You you have to have known it's there.
	Anyway, back in a sec.
	So Nikki Haley does her response to the State of the Union.
	It draws quite a pointed reaction from several in the Republican base, who are quite frankly shocked because the last person that anybody would think would be part of the Washington Republican established Nikki Haley.
	She appeared to be more closely aligned with Tea Party types, genuine, real conservative and so forth, and targeted by the left as such.
	So anyway, she comes out, she does her response, and she focuses not on Obama and not on the Democrats, but focuses on people and things going on in her own party she doesn't like, which is exactly what establishment types do.
	They run around and they criticize various elements of their own party.
	They focus in the number one thing they focus in on is behavior, don't like the anger.
	The anger is very unbecoming, that's not who we are.
	We don't want people to think we're mad.
	And then shortly thereafter, after the reaction of Nikki Haley is registered, Jeb Bush tells the AP that he has seriously misjudged the intensity of anger among Republican voters, and only recently,
	only now has figured it out, and is now promising that since he realizes things are much, much different than he thought, that he's gonna go pedal to the metal on bringing conservatism to the campaign and to the White House if he wins.
	How do you miss this anger?
	Clearly the establishment hasn't missed the anger.
	Nikki Haley talked about it.
	She's not the only one inside the Beltway Republicans talk about the anger, angry white men, or they they disparage it in any number of ways quite frequently.
	How did how do you miss this?
	How in the world do you I don't even if you if you caught a five as, well, I knew the anger was there, I just didn't realize it was as intense as it.
	Come on, how do you miss the intensity here?
	It's responsible for two how do you overwhelming landslide midterm election defeats?
	How do you not have that register if you're a Republican?
	Why do you not want to align yourself with the people showing up to vote and making those landslides happen?
	Why do you purposely reject them?
	It's just it's dumb politics more than anything else.
	I don't know if it's ideological rooted or what, but it was dumb politics.
	The Republican Party had a built-in coalition of anti-Obamacare Americans from all across the spectrum, and they did not seek to align themselves with that majority of American people.
	Obviously, Jeb does not listen to this program.
	No crime there, don't misunderstand.
	But if Jeb had just listened a couple days here, he would understand the intensity of the anger out there.
	But it's also clear, ladies and gentlemen, that many in the establishment, they don't like this anger.
	They think it's an immediate disqualifier.
	To them, anger equals low intellect.
	Anger equals bad manners.
	Whatever else they think It's not reserved and it's not mature and it's not responsible and it's not reasonable.
	It's out of control.
	It's uncontrollable.
	Whatever it is, everything they have about anger is a negative every correlation or association they have.
	And yet it's warranted.
	The people who are not mad at what's been going on in this country, who are not mad that there haven't been any serious efforts to stop it.
	Those are the people you have to question, in my view.
	Thank you.
	This is no different than Bill Clinton being elected president in 1993, being inaugurated and canceling his promised middle class tax cut.
	You know what?
	I had no idea how bad it was.
	Bush people, when I did my orientation with them, they hid all kinds of data for me.
	It told me this economy is in so much worse shape.
	Nobody had any idea.
	We didn't know how bad it was.
	Obama did the same thing.
	2009, the reason for the stimulus.
	Bush hadn't been honest with him about how bad things really were.
	It was so bad out there, we even knew you'd move more drastic action than anybody even knew.
	But as I say, here, the strange thing is, I I think Jeb could be serious.
	I think the disconnect is that big.
	I think that there are all kinds of different people that see the anger and reject it as illegitimate, irresponsible, not who we are.
	It's uh it's it's it's low character.
	You know, it's it's it's not it's not becoming to run around acting mad all the time.
	What it is, I mean, it it it this refusal to be angry or show it is a sign that you're not affected by it.
	It's a great indication that it doesn't affect or impact you, and you don't really care.
	And that's the reason for the disconnect among many.
	Now, anyway, Jeff C sees it, and he realizes the intensity of it, and so now he thinks it's important that the Conservative Party.
	What is the Conservative Party, by the way?
	I would ask Mr. Snerdley, but he's busy screening calls.
	You know what the Conservative Party is?
	Jeb says that it's important a conservative party nominate a conservative.
	I'm sure he means the Republican Party, but who talks there is no Conservative Party?
	That's the whole point.
	And it just dovetails back with the fact that Jeb and Christie have formed an accord to go out and take Rubio out tonight.
	That's the reported plan from Chris Snierwolf.
	Now, moving back to Nikki Haley, just for a brief moment, starting with a couple of sound bites here.
	Jonathan Carl on World News Tonight last night.
	South Carolina's Governor Nikki Haley, the rising conservative star, who famously called for the Confederate flag to come down, included an attack on Trump and the official Republican response to the State of the Union.
	The line caught conservatives, including Rush Limbaugh, by surprise.
	First time in my life I can remember the response to the State of the Union, not going after the president, but rather going after the front runner of, in this case, her own party.
	It is remarkable.
	And not just Trump.
	She made it clear later that she wasn't just talking about Trump.
	She was talking about some in the media.
	Now, some of you out there say she, hey, Tid, uh Nikki Haley, she's not establishment.
	She's uh Tea Party, she's one of us.
	Fine.
	I that's what I always thought, but this is clearly an establishment angle of attack.
	To go after this mythical anger out there, and to try to distance Republicans from it as oh my God, those people they embarrass us.
	We're not don't think of us as one of those.
	We're not mad here in Washington.
	We want to cross the aisle and work with the Democrats.
	We want to cooperate with the Democrats.
	We want to be bipartisan.
	We want to show we can govern.
	We can make government work.
	We want to show what Washington can work.
	So don't accuse us of being mad.
	I mean, that's how the establishment talks.
	Of their own people.
	Here is Aaron Burnett on Aaron Burnett out front last night on the CNN.
	Haley said she was referring to Trump and others last night in her State of the Union rebuttal when she warned against following, quote, the angriest voices.
	Her speech bringing a brewing battle within the Republican Party out into the open.
	Some praising Haley for the message.
	Others, like Rush Limbaugh slamming the governor, saying it is the first time in his life he can remember a response to the State of the Union, not going after the president, but after one's own party.
	That does concern me, and I want to thank Jonathan Carl and Aaron Burnett for focusing on the thing that I said, rather than making something up.
	Just to wrap this up here, folks, and then moving on to other things involving me, because we have them.
	And I've got I want to give you a review, by the way, at Trump's rally in Pensacola last night.
	I really watched it, and I've seen them before, but I watched this on YouTube.
	I don't watch it on the iPad.
	I didn't know if it was televised, didn't bother to find out.
	I just didn't want to go to the effort of turning on the TV.
	My finger didn't need the exercise, and the iPad was open right there, so I just I had the link, I tapped on it, finger got exercised, and there it was.
	IPads 13 inches, uh HD screen, watched it, great audio.
	You know what, snerdly, you know what?
	I felt I felt like I was back in time.
	I felt like I was watching a rust to excellence performance.
	It's exactly what this is.
	It's just rolling stream of consciousness for 90 minutes.
	Whatever pops into his mind, loses its place, but goes back to it.
	Exactly what it just whatever pops into his mind, he can be in the middle of a sentence and say something and it'll stop him.
	That reminds me, he'll say it, get back to where he was.
	He did not take but two or three breaths in 90 seconds.
	He watched the audience behind him, they're mesmerized.
	They're laughing, they're just mesmerizing.
	I can't believe anybody can do this.
	There's no notes.
	Um us and um uh when Trump is doing his thinking is when he repeats himself.
	I just give you a little hint.
	When he says, it's true, it's true.
	I really, really it's true.
	When he repeats himself, that's when he's thinking about what he's gonna say next.
	That's why he's repeating it's not that he's run out of things to say, it's he's thinking about what he wants to say next.
	And the repetition is a uh it's an oratorical aid to avoid silence and dead air, just keep saying what you just said while you think about what you want to say next.
	It doesn't last more than a couple seconds, and you're bam, you're off.
	Anyway, wrap up this Nikki Helly Haley thing.
	What what bothers me, and what what bothered me about the response is with all of this damage that Obama and the Democrats have done and continue to do and promise to do,
	all of the wreckage that they have made of this country, focusing criticism in a response to a pathetic Obama speech on people in your own party and to criticize them.
	I don't understand that.
	That was sadly I do understand it.
	It it comes from a position of almost guilt and defensiveness.
	If if you think that in the middle of the opposition party, literally transforming and destroying the founding and the principles and the moral fiber, everything else that's under assault.
	In the middle of that, you had you can't comment on that.
	You've got to go out and attack people in your own party for being mad or for being uh outrageous or or or what have you.
	It just seems really to miss the point.
	It seemed misguided, it seemed not helpful at all, and I think it it it's either one of two things, and one of the things is a defensiveness and a guilt, uh, a belief that, in this case, Trump's behavior, yeah, isn't making us all look bad.
	It's making the media look right, it's making all of our critics look right.
	Oh my god, oh my God, I don't want to be associated with that.
	So I have to criticize it so that they won't want me in with it.
	It's either defensive with a little tinge of guilt making it happen, Or else it was strategic and comes from a position of trying to make sure or deny Trump the leadership and the nomination.
	But I don't care.
	Whichever those two it is, it doesn't make sense that when the opposing party gets a nationally televised shot to tell the American people what's wrong, why it's wrong, and how we're going to change it.
	You don't do that.
	You go out and start ripping criticizing people in your own party.
	It doesn't connect with me.
	Anger over what's going on in this country is legitimate.
	So is loud anger over what has happened and continues to happen.
	And the Republican Party's continued focus on criticizing their own members as though they are embarrassed of them confuses me.
	I don't understand or appreciate defensiveness, the seeming need to send a message to the whole country that you disagree or embarrassed of people in your own party, because it's also interpreted as questioning their sincerity and motives and competence.
	And it doesn't seem helpful to me.
	And I don't know, well, I do know who it's designed to impress who the intended audience for that kind of thing is.
	And that's all it is.
	It's not personal.
	Like I told you, I like Nikki Haley.
	I've always, I thought she's had a great, great future.
	That's why all this came as a huge surprise to me.
	And a sadly missed opportunity.
	But that's that.
	Enough of that.
	Brief time out, and we continue after this.
	Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
	Al Rushmore behind the Golden EIB who Microphone.
	Look at this headline.
	This is from the uh from redstate.com, the blog Democrat Special Forces who were on the ground in Benghazi are liars.
	This takes a lot of nerve.
	Next thing you know, they're gonna call the people on board the two boats in Iran liars.
	Takes a lot of nerve to say somebody in the special forces, you're a liar, especially when you're a Democrat politician and your allegiance is not to the truth, so much as it is to seeing Hillary Clinton elected president.
	They're talking about the movie 13 hours.
	You know, the strangest thing happened.
	I was offered a DVD of this movie with captioning, because I can't watch it without captioning in it.
	And the very next day I got a note, so the offer has been withdrawn for security reasons.
	We're just not going to let a DVD out of it.
	Okay, that's fine, but how did it get cleared in the first place?
	So anyway, I will not see it till it comes out on whenever unless I get a pirated cut.
	Just kidding, just to screw with Paramount there.
	Stephen in Merced, California, great to have you on the EIB network hello.
	It's an honor to talk to you, Professor.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	Just one quick point.
	Um Jeb Bush says he doesn't understand the intensity.
	They all understand the intensity of the anger.
	It's the breadth of the anger that is a shock to them.
	If they didn't understand the intensity of the anger, they wouldn't be calling us kooks.
	That's what the intensity is all about.
	Well, you know that's that's many people that are angry.
	That's what they don't understand.
	I think that's that's a pretty pretty brilliant conclusion out there, Steve.
	Not surprised you're in this audience.
	Because I think I think that's exactly right.
	I think that they they see it's impossible to miss this anger.
	That's not my whole point.
	But I think you're right.
	I think they have misunderstood how widespread and how deep it is.
	And by widespread, I mean it's beyond the Republican base.
	There's anger all over this country about a whole lot of things.
	And they have been in denial about that.
	So I think you're right.
	They understand understand the intensity, because they couldn't call us kooks if they didn't.
	What are we kooky about?
	But I think Jeb probably is shocked at the at the wide spread demographic nature.
	These are the same folks, establishment rhinos who condemn Obama for capitulating to Iran with the with the ten hostages, but don't understand that that's exactly what they're doing internally when they capitulate to Democrats themselves.
	I gotta take a brief time a little long, but hang in there, be tough, because we'll be right back.
	I kid you not, I went back here and I found there's a a pew poll from late November, and the headline in the story is this Jeb Bush viewed unfavorably by most Republicans angry at government.
	Probably not reading his own polling data either, but it's get this?
