Time Text
Hi folks, welcome back.
Let me read one more little passage from this three-year-old autopsy report prepared by the GOP establishment.
After the Romney lost, they sat down, they wrote this big autopsy of what went wrong, and then their suggestions.
And in addition to everything else I've told you that in fact the conservative winning the nomination and becoming president be the worst thing to happen for the Republican Party.
It would set it back a generation in modernizing.
Honest to God, I'm not making this stuff up.
I'm not, I hadn't, I couldn't even make that up.
Not even I would have believed that until I had read it.
If you'd have come along and told me that there are forces deep inside the Republican Party who don't want a Republican conservative to become president because they set the party.
Well, wait a minute, I might have believed it.
But anyway, one more little passage.
We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform, the 2013 report said, because if we don't, our party's appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only, meaning all we'll have is the base.
And yuck to that.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
There's no sunny here, folks.
We got we have an El Nino winner going.
I tell you, all my golf buddies, I told them.
When they said this is going to be an El Nino winner, I told them what it was like here in 97-98.
He said, nah, no, Rush, that's that's not gonna.
So here we are in the high 60s, rain all the time.
Exactly what the El Nino was back then.
El Nino has nothing to do with climate change.
It's a meteorological event.
Anyway, welcome back.
It's great to have your Rush Limb Boy here behind a golden EIB microphone on open line Friday.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882.
Now let me move on to some of the polling data.
Oh, one of the things, too.
Jim Garrity, writing it to National Review Online, has a really funny, well, not funny, well, it is, but it's it's really insightful piece on the Democrat Party crack up.
And everybody's out there talking about the Republican Party and its factions and oh, whoa is us, depending on that faction dominating or not.
Well, Gardy is has really written a clever piece here on who and what the two factions of the Democrat Party are, as exemplified by people who support Hillary and people that support uh crazy Bernie.
And the poor Liberal Democrats and the elite liberal Democrats.
And basically that's the dividing line of the two Democrat parties.
But we'll get to that in a second.
Let's get to the NBC News Wall Street Journal poll because there's a lot here.
Now, the headline for this poll, as supplied by both NBC and the Wall Street Journal, Trump more than doubles his national lead in the NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
Now, in the Wall Street Journal story, you have to run the numbers yourself to get to Trump's number.
They do not give you the overall Trump number.
They do report that his lead is more than doubled, but they don't give you the number.
You have to run the numbers yourself, which of course we did here.
But the NBC News version is what I want to get to first here.
Donald Trump is more than doubled his national lead in the Republican presidential race.
He's the first choice of 33% of National Republican primary voters, highest ever in this poll.
Ted Cruz next at 20, Marco Rubio at 13, Ben Carson at 12.
Chris Christie Jeb Bush tied at five.
No other Republican presidential candidate gets more than three.
So Trump and Cruz have 53% of the vote between them, which is a nightmare.
It's a nightmare for the Republican ruling class.
And they're admitting it.
It's a nightmare.
Now, Trump's 13-point lead over cruise is an increase from last month.
He held a five-point advantage over Cruz.
It was 27-22 last month.
However, get this.
In a hypothetical one-on-one race between Cruz and Trump, Cruz tops Trump 51 to 43, while Trump beats Reagan.
Rubio 52 to 45.
Now, this aspect of the poll is referenced and written about over at the Washington Post by a guy named Philip Bump, who has a story that says only Cruz can beat Trump within the boundaries of the Republican primary.
Only Cruz can beat Trump.
It's become the conventional wisdom of the drive-by media...
And it is so stated by virtue of poll results here in the NBC News, Washington Post poll.
Again, even though Trump has a 33, so what's the lead?
It's uh 13-point lead over Cruz nationally.
33 to 20.
If you tell the same respondents, okay, it's a contest between Trump and Cruz.
Who do you want?
Cruz.
Beats Trump 514.
Now you might say, well, voters are confused.
No.
Maybe just answering the questions they're asked.
Who do you prefer for president Donald Trump?
Okay, if it's just Trump and Cruz, who do you want?
Well, we want Cruz.
By an eight-point margin.
Trump does beat Rubio.
That was seen as big news in the Washington Post, who decided to wrote it right about how only Cruz can beat Trump.
In a three-way contest, featuring Trump, Cruz, and Rubio, Trump gets 40, Cruz 31, Rubio 26, which it says here underscores the overall strengthing strength of the outsider insurgent wing of the Republican Party.
Trump and Cruz are considered outsiders.
So you got 71.
But maybe the most striking finding in this poll, and this is I'm reading from the story itself.
This is not analysis.
This is uh actually Mark Murray who wrote the story for NBC News.
Maybe the most striking finding in this poll is the growing Republican acceptance of Trump.
Back in March, only 23% of the Republican primary voters said they could see themselves supporting Trump.
Now that number is at 65%.
And that's why they are mad at me, nerdly.
Before the day is over, I'm going to be blamed for the Dow being down 500 points.
You know, I was thinking about that.
You know what happened when you go to your broker?
Portfolios down.
They went, well, of course, the uh what happened, and we can do Wall Street bad year, bad month, whatever you're talking about.
If the market goes way up, but your portfolio's not, you still get blamed.
You get blamed for a misallocation.
You get blamed for not having enough inequity, believe or not having enough stocks, too much in bonds, or what have you.
At any rate, uh this is a significant increase.
We're talking 10 months.
Trump's gone from 23% of Republican primary voters, so they could see themselves supporting him to 65%.
That's another thing everybody was told would never happen.
Remember, back in the early days of Trump, we had the drive-bys, the the noted experts in all this, assuring everyone, don't worry, don't worry.
Trump's never going to amount to anything.
He's just, he's a kook, you know.
He's uh he's a showman.
He's a circus act, he's in it for himself.
He's not even gonna last, but the majority of voters are never, they assured us that this would not happen.
Trump's support was to be very low, supposed to stay very low.
It was supposed to have a hard ceiling, he would never ever be able.
We've been at Trump peak for what, a couple months now, don't worry about it, they said.
And now it seems like these same people in the drive-bys are saying that it's Trump's race to lose.
Now we go to the Wall Street Journal version of the story.
Donald Trump widens his lead in Republican presidential race.
Businessman tops crews by 13 points in poll with less than three weeks to go before final votes.
And again, they highlight in this, which is, I mean, they should.
It's in their own poll.
65% of Republican primary voters could see themselves backing Trump.
At 23% back in March.
At the same time, the share of Republican primary voters who say they can support either cruz or Trump has grown to 71%.
So it's got some in interesting internal information here that none of it was supposed to happen.
I'm going to take a brief time out here so that the next segment is not so short.
We'll come back and get the phone calls because I know people are chomping at the bit here.
Sit tight, back before you know it.
Don't so I checked the email here.
Rush, what what's so wrong if the Republicans don't want to get taken over by conservatives and so forth?
I'll tell you why it matters to me, folks.
It's not, it's not a power thing.
I think conservatism is the only solution we have to our problems.
Liberalism is what's destroying this country.
I've made the case 27 years.
I don't need to be redundant, go through it.
Event by event.
The solution to our problems is conservatism.
As an ideology, as a political movement, as a philosophy, as economic theory, social theory, it's the solution to our problems.
I don't believe it is the problem.
And we happen to live in a day and age where a lot of people are so afraid of it, because it is the solution.
They don't want that solution.
They have to impugn it and try to relegate it to insignificance and so forth.
I give you a little story here.
Short little stories on the golf course.
And it was a uh typical Republican membership club.
Not so much conservative, although there were some.
And particularly vociferous guy spotted me and came up and started uh not quite yelling, but accusing me of standing in the way of the party moving forward and being backwards.
What do you think you're doing?
What in the world?
Why what you can't you just give it up?
And I said, What are you talking about?
This you you you you're just focusing on all this stuff that doesn't matter.
You're you're the reason you're talking about things you stand for things is the reason why people hate us and think we're this and that and so let me ask you a question.
Sure, ask away.
This guy's a he's in his 60s, late 50s.
I said, was there a day when you were younger that that you oppose gay marriage?
Oh, hell yes, he said.
I assume in your teenage years, if you thought about it, you thought it was a crazy idea.
Oh, hell yes!
What about in your 20s?
Hell yes, no way.
What about when you're 30s?
Hell yes!
There's no way.
I mean, we never even thought of it.
What do you think about it now?
I think it's well, um I don't know.
It's it's uh I I don't think it.
Well, where are you then?
Why the why what you for your whole life you thought as a dumb thing, a bad idea.
What?
You're the one changed, not me.
What's what made you change?
Why do you accept it all of a sudden?
It boiled down to his kids.
He's got young kids that are going away to school, are coming back to think it's cool, wants to say hip to his kids, but he never has I got him to admit he still opposes it.
He thinks it's damaging, but he won't stand up against it.
But I am a problem because I am perceived as somebody standing up against all this stuff.
I said to me, you got a bigger problem, and you have more to explain than I do.
Because you're willing to stand aside and let all this stuff that you don't believe in happen.
Seems like you're the one who owes me an explanation, not the other way around.
And I headed off for the first T. Haven't seen him since.
Anyway, as I said, phone call time are gonna start with uh Jace in Virginia Beach.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hello, Gush.
Uh, good to talk to you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
All right.
Um, listen, the thing that got me fired up enough to uh call you and uh try to overcome my fear of public speaking over national radio here is last night during the debate, uh the thing between Cruz and Trump about New Yorker values that came up really stuck in my craw.
I think Cruz was right.
Uh the way I don't know the context that he said that in, but um to me, New Yorker values uh we know that New York is a deep blue state.
It was wait, wait, wait, so you didn't know the content.
The context is that Cruz made the statement some days ago, um, attempting to it was his way of trying to tell people Trump is not a conservative.
Uh and it was, you know, talking about all this stuff for Cruz's birth and his eligibility and Trump leading the fight on that.
And Cruz retorts with uh it might have been one other thing that did come up, but uh referring to Donald's New York values.
And it's what a New York Valley, what do you mean New York value?
Well, we all know what New York values are, and that's you heard him say that last night.
Then Trump.
Uh you ought to see the drive-by is right.
Uh, drive-by's have done away, love Trump.
Trump is the best guy.
I mean, every New York liberal journalist I ever heard of has written today, glowing praising Trump.
He got silent.
We saw the real Trump for the first time.
We saw that he has a soul.
We saw that Trump has a heart.
We saw that Trump is a New Yorker, and he just buried Ted Cruz.
That's the reaction inside the big apple media.
And that's my concern.
That's my concern that they're blowing this out, because what I didn't like, what Trump did, to me, what Trump threw at Cruz was an emotional red herring and stuff.
Um, and I expect that from Obama to the B. Wait, wait, wait, wait now.
Wait, wait.
Um what what's the emotional red herring?
Well, the how do you correlate conservatism with New York's reaction to the horror of 9-11?
You'd have to be in human not to do everything you can uh and to feel something about what happened.
Because Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid stood on the Capitol steps singing God bless America after 9-11, but they're not conservative.
And Trump's response to Cruz on that was hey, 9-11, didn't you see what all this New Yorkers, how we got together, and uh what do you mean, you know, New Yorker values, whatever.
And to me, Cruz's comments had to do with political values.
Not being human, not having uh to be totally you'd have to be a a rock or or a doorknob, not to have reacted to the right.
Or you'd have to be celebrating in uh New Jersey.
Yeah.
So there you go.
But uh uh so to me that just doesn't Trump's response uh uh missed the point and stuff to me of what Cruz was probably saying about the.
Let me address this uh because you have uh a very, very good point.
I'll tell you another thing about this.
And I think this is is uh representative of a divide.
Now in New York, as I say, everybody in the media thought this is a big faux pas that Cruz actually winning the debate until this happened, he threw it away, and it Trump just wiped the floor.
This is the best Trump had ever been.
This was so good.
They just pounded he just pounded Cruz and kept pounding, and Cruz was so humiliated he didn't even say anything back.
But outside New York, the thing that you're taught, everybody does know what New York values means.
And here's the thing.
Trump is praising the cops and firefighters and the first responders and all that.
But who is it that's under attack in New York?
The cops, the mayor is making the cops out to be the absolute worst aspect of the city.
It's nothing new.
All of liberalism is out puddling the police every day.
So while, yeah, on 9-11, everybody praised what happened.
It's kind of like the Democrats got on board with Bush for a couple days after 9-11, but uh didn't take but a week, and they were already savaging Bush over not responding soon enough.
The other end of this on the berther stuff.
You know, there's two two another event like uh the equivalent of this New York value thing happened.
And Cruz, I think, cleaned up on the berther side.
So I I look, I think there were a lot of points scored by a lot of people last night.
Everybody came off as likable.
And I hope that's not lost in this.
The partisans are looking at this and say, okay, my guy did good here, but my guy kind of got uh attacked on a leg and my go over here.
Whoever did, but the at the end of the day, I mean, I tried to watch this thing like a Martian would.
I tried to watch this thing a low information voter.
I'm telling you, it was funny.
It was uh convivial.
I mean, and in even even these moments where there was supposed confrontation, you didn't get the impression that there was hatred or anger or dislike as these whether it be Rubio and Cruz or Cruz and Trump.
Uh it it came across to me as though everybody on the stage understood that they are a member of a fraternity or a brotherhood, and that each of them individually are not the long-term enemy.
But they're all competing against each other at the at the moment.
That was the I may made that note three or four times about how likable everybody came across last night.
Everybody was on last night.
Everybody was energetic.
Well, most everybody.
By the way, this drive-by media love affair with Trump is not gonna last.
In fact, it's already starting to break down.
There's some in the drive-by media who are starting to criticize Trump for even bringing up 9-11 in that response.
Honest to gosh, Mr. Snurt, there's some drive-by media saying that it was very, very low rent and cheap for Trump to bring up 9-11.
Remember the left, they're the guys that say you can't politicize that.
Remember?
It's the left, the Democrat Party, there.
You can't use any of the footage in campaigns.
You can't politicize 9-11.
You can't, you can't because they know they look bad.
And so Trump used it and elevated himself in the process, and the drive-by's are starting to figure it out they don't like it.
Now, let me give you a little observation about New York and New York Value.
I lived there for eight years, not a native New Yorker by any stretch.
You know what's the thing about New York that that uh I found that amused me the most?
New York is this gigantic.
You wouldn't but melting pot, whatever.
I mean, veritably, every living thing on earth, one of them lives in New York.
And yet it's the most provincial town in this country.
And what I mean by that is, I remember back during the OJ trial, Marcia Clark, the prosecutor.
Well, she had once stopped at a rest area on the New York throughway, and that made her a New Yorker in the media story.
Marcia Clark, who at one time spent time in the Tri-State area.
She stopped at a rest area and used the restroom.
She was in the state for about 20 minutes, made her a New Yorker for the purposes of the there was a New Yorker in that story.
That whatever they'll go to any length whatsoever to put a New York angle in every important story in the country.
OJ trial, you name it.
I think it's cute.
You generally think this is what happens in small towns.
They get proud of people who live in these towns for making big national news or being part of a national news story.
But you think New York, eh, no big deal.
So big, so sophisticated, it can't possibly be a big deal that a New Yorker'd be involved in the OJ store.
But man, if they can find a link, they'll publish it and they'll make it look like uh the fact that Marcia Clark took a restroom break in New York is what made her the prosecutor.
If she hadn't stopped, used a bathroom on the throughway, she'd have never made it that far in life.
I th that's the New York media.
I just I find it cute.
I found it cute.
Uh back to the phones.
Who's that?
Karen Pensacola, Florida.
It's great to have you with us here on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, hey, Rash, first time caller, longtime listener.
I got a shout out to my dad and my sister who I'm sure are listening.
I'm calling because I from a conservative little town, Pensacola, Florida, military town.
We get political rallies all the time.
Everyone wants to come here to, you know, conjure up votes.
Uh, but I have never gone to one my degrees in government and politics from years ago.
I've always been interested, but never gone to a political rally.
I was not going to miss Donald Trump's.
I went to this rally in Rush.
I listened to your last caller, and I have to disagree.
I don't think the mainstream medium is a media is a fan at all of Trump's.
In fact, at this rally, he proved a point to all of us.
It was there was not even standing room in our convention center.
It's never been full like that.
In fact, the word was that he had to turn away 5,000 people.
Um he was on fire, and he pointed to at the camera people in their little section and said, Come on, show all of these people.
Show how many people care like I do about our country.
And that the media would not even turn.
I know, I know.
I watched all this.
I saw the cameras stay locked solid.
The next day in the newspaper, it didn't make any mention of the overwhelming crowds and and how excited our town was.
So I I just have to say, I never thought I'd think the mainstream media and the Republican Party would be in the same place.
And that having that in common, what they have in common is that they're in denial of Donald Trump and his sincerity.
That's wait a second now, you might be a day or two behind things.
In the first place, they finally have published pictures of the rally from the rafters to get and there I've seen a couple of pictures of inside the arena that show it was it was bursting.
I knew about the 5,000 people who got turned away.
Um the drive-by media is is I mean, we've got this examples here all over the stacks of stuff today.
Uh drive-by media, Republican parties reported now as being more and more acknowledging or open to the idea that Trump could win.
And I found this.
This this ran on Breitbart.
You know, Joe Scarborough, who was a member of the House Republican freshman class in 1994.
And now he hosts the morning Joe show on MSNBC from 6 to 9 every morning.
And he's from Pensacola.
The Trump rally is on Wednesday night, Thursday morning on MSNBC.
Scarborough says that it was unprecedented, that he has never ever seen anything like that in Pensacola.
He said it was unprecedented for Pensacola to draw such attention for a presidential event.
He said, I was at George W. Bush's campaign rally in 2004 at the final stages of that presidential race.
Early November, I saw Reagan come to Pensacola twice in 1980.
I saw those crowds, and I never saw anything like Trump and his crowds in my hometown before.
Scarborough says absolutely staggering.
Here we are in early January.
He says, I'll be honest with you.
I guess seeing it in your hometown, I I didn't get it as far as the size of these crowds go.
It's like nothing I ever saw with Reagan is like I nothing I ever saw with Bush.
It's nothing I saw with any political candidate.
What I saw come out of Pensacola last night.
What he's saying is there have been a lot of these rallies that Trump's had all over the country, and they've all been the same.
Whatever the size of the venue, they turn people away.
If the venue's 15,000, they turn people away.
If the venues 2500, they have turned people away.
Everywhere Trump goes, filled with the raptors, people turned away.
What Scarborough was saying, yeah, you know, that stuff, it didn't really make impression on me.
I mean, you see it, you see it reported, big deal.
But the minute he saw it happen in his town, where he has seen all kinds of rallies before, finally he's saying it it hit me.
We're not seeing, we've never seen anything like that.
Perot didn't draw crowds like this.
He says that Rubio showed up, and 150 people showed up at his rally sometime in the past.
He said, if if anybody presidential candidate, sitting president ever came to Pensacola and got three to four hundred people, it was considered a success.
And here they had whatever that arena held, 12,000, 15,000.
So I think it probably might have been a wake-up call, plus a day after Obama's State of the Union show, which had the lowest ratings of eight years of State of the Union shows.
There's Trump the next night, he's out in Pensacola, and Scarborough saying, look, I've got experience in that town.
This town doesn't show up for people.
They're not that impressed.
I've never seen anything like this before.
Thank you.
A lot of people are in denial.
You wouldn't believe the number of people that still think Trump's going to implode.
He's going to say something that's so wacky embarrassing that you have to quit.
The Bush people, you know what Lindsey Graham endorsed Jeb today.
Did you see that?
Okay.
Well, but the point is it happened.
And that means that somebody, somebody over there in that camp thinks that it can still happen.
Despite any evidence, there's no evidence that Trump has hurt himself at all with anything he said.
Despite any evidence, there are still a lot of people who think that is going to happen.
There are people, well, not just Jeb, I mean a whole bunch of them.
A lot of people in the in the the political class, the donor class, the consultants, all of them they think it.
Or they think that when people show up and vote, or caucus, that's when it gets really serious, and they're not gonna vote Trump.
They're gonna come to their senses and realize there's so much more going on.
It's far too important.
It's been a game up to now.
But when it gets real, Trump isn't gonna matter a hill of beans.
I mean, there's still some people thinking that's gonna happen.
We need steady hand and experience.
Tested, fire tested, whatever.
Send the right signals, exactly right.
Okay.
I gotta take a brief time out here, my friend.
The clock just keeps moving.
Fastest three hours in media.
You sit tight.
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Okay, audio sound bites.
Here's a montage.
We put together the drive-by media loving Trump because of the New York values, the way he dealt with it in debate last night.
Trump clearly came out on top.
His response to the New York values attack from Cruz was so effective that Cruz was actually applauding him.
It was such a clear win for Trump.
His answer, Trump's on the New York values thing, was just awesome.
He had the upside of the New York values back and forth with Ted Cruz.
That was the moment of the debate.
That was a moment where Trump clearly had won.
We saw the hundreds of firefighters and police officers run into the burning buildings to save others here in New York City.
Those are our New York values.
Trump won that exchange.
The New York Daily News with the headline, drop dead, Ted.
So you heard Meghan Kelly there.
We saw the hundreds of firefighters and police officers run into the burning buildings to save others.
Those are New York values.
Well, that happens in other places too, doesn't it, Mrs. Snurley?
Yes, it does.
That's our callers.
Wait a minute.
Anybody would have run into burning the first the firemen, the firefighters for the first responders all over the country.
Step into the middle of emergencies like this.
those are not the kind of New York values that Trump was or that Cruz was highlighting anyway.
But I'm not denying that.
I wanted to play you to sound like there's a drive-by is going nuts on Trump.
You heard it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know I heard it, but those are not the kind of New York values that Cruz was talking about.
Cruz was not anybody in the right mind knows that they walked the smell of death, the stench of death, and they braved it and they claimed those steps, not knowing a second plane was headed right for it.
Yeah.
And they should be cited for bravery as they have been.
Not a single person in the world disparages that.
That's the point.
Cruz was not disparaging that.
But I'm not looking, I'm not gonna say there'd be denial.
Trump clearly scored big time with that.
There's no question as far as the media is concerned.
But I'm just telling you, you sit here and talk about the cops, the New York mayor hates them.
The New York mayor paint Mayor may not hate them, but he paints them as the problem.
The cops are the problem.
Wherever Democrats run the show, the police are a problem, are they not?
There you have liberal values, which is all he meant.
Well, I know that's a should have said Northeastern or something.
Should have said Boston, then Trump would have started a launch at Tom Brady.
You know, it would have been it would have been it here's other examples here, folks, of the drive-by's uh starting to figure out here that the Republicans are starting to figure out that Trump can win Dana Bash at CNN.
Talking to Republican sources, particularly in Washington, there was a sense of denial that Donald Trump could ever be their nominee.
That is starting to melt away as they see the same polls that we do.
They hear uh the same things from Republicans out in the country that we see, and that is uh that Donald Trump is doing extremely well and could very well be the man at the top of their ticket.
Go back to that montage that was Dr. Cloudhammer who proclaimed Trump the hands down winner.
I mean, that's the same thing as George Will doing it.
You want me, you want to go from point A to point B, point over here.
Trump yuck.
Shh, shh, sh, see the new Trump hero wins New York, defends New York, wins debate.
Provincial.
That's exactly.
Here's Stephen Hayes, Stephen Hayes of Weekly Standard this last night on a special edition of Hannity, uh, talking about uh Trump and so forth.
Hayes never, just to put this in context, you understand this, Hayes has never liked Trump.
I think Trump is the least electable, but I'm willing to be look, I didn't think Donald Trump was gonna be a competitor for the Republican nomination.
He's clearly a competitor for the Republican nomination.
So maybe what I thought I understood before I'm not understanding, maybe he would be more electable than I would think.
I don't think he'd have the kind of enduring cross-party appeal.
11 months, you put Donald Trump opposite Hillary Clinton for 11 months.
Yeah.
See, this is they all think.
New York values, you want some New York values?
Everybody in New York thinks that Trump had no prayer against Hillary.
New York values.
I guarantee you they all think that.
Everybody in the New York media, the New York political established that yeah, it's it's almost a status quo that you have to accept.
You just heard they do.
You I'm not telling you anything you don't know.
They it's universal that Trump can't beat Hillary.
I think they're dead wrong.
But you know that that is an axiomatic belief.
They all have, they must have it.
Remember, these these are little jaundics.
They never get outside these boundaries much, and when they do, they don't believe what they see, or they make fun of it.
Crack jokes about it.
But I guarantee you, outside of New York City or the tri-state of the Great Northeast or whatever, a whole bunch of people who think any Republican can beat Hillary Clinton.
The fear of Hillary Clinton is to be found in elite circles and establishment circles.
But you go out there where people who make the country work, live, and operate, and they think not only would it be a piece of cake, it'd be fun to swat the woman back to Arkansas.
Okay, back after.
Folks, in in the middle of all of this, now it's understandably the conversation is Republican focused and Republican centric.
But at the same time this is happening, Hillary Clinton is seriously experiencing significant drop.
She's losing, this is polling data, obviously, but she is losing support from women in droves and in many women under 30 particularly.
Bernie Sanders is expanding his base and money, and it is happening rapidly.
It is it's it's noteworthy.
And I mean I could find the headlines on Drudge.
It's just nobody's interested in it today because of the debate, Republican debate last night, and all of the news that came out of it.
But it just dovetails what we were just discussing.
There's nothing automatic about Hillary Clinton.
And not to mention that if you talk to the right people, it they make it sound like the better chance than there's ever been the woman is going to be indicted by the FBI or that there will be hell to pay if there isn't an indictment.
Not that any of that would stop her.
