Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yep, now we know.
Now we know why the NFL did not want the raidist.
The raidist.
Going back to Los Angeles, they didn't want gangs in Compton and other places co-opting the Raiders' uniform and apparel.
And did you see it?
Gwen Eiffel actually asked Crazy Bernie if he was thwarting history by trying to deny.
She must listen to this show.
They have to all be listening to this show.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, sir, Rebob.
Here we are to wrap up another busy broadcast week.
Hosted by me, your guiding light.
Rush Limbaugh for the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies telephone number if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882.
I don't know about you all, but I am zapped.
I am worn out.
This is this is as intense as as it uh as it gets.
And I'm actually I'm actually happy that Friday is here, even though I'm eating this stuff up.
Now remember, Open Line Friday, uh, as I mentioned yesterday, you can ask any question you want, can be related to anything, does not have to be about politics.
That's what Open Line Friday is for.
So we go to the phones, it could be anything.
It doesn't, you don't have to stray from politics.
My point is that it doesn't have to be that.
If there's something else bothering you, if there's something else that's interesting to you that you want to talk about.
I mean, have at it.
That's what open line Friday is for.
I'll tell you this.
This is getting painful to have to watch this stuff.
The Democrat debate.
It is just You know, ladies and gentlemen, after watching this thing last night, I do not understand why in the world the Democrat Party wants immigrants into this country.
This country sucks so bad.
This country is so horrible.
This country is so decrepit.
Why in the world would they want anybody to come here and live here?
It it's a mind-boggling thing to listen to these people talk about this country and then to try to outdo each other.
Here we have grandma and grandpa gumming it up last night again, trying to out talk each other.
And depending on where you look, I've seen both sides represented.
I've seen analysts who think that Hillary was just formidable, unstoppable, outclassed, crazy Bernie, and other people think she looked listless, lethargic and barely even there.
I don't think it matters.
The Democrat game is rigged with these superdelegates.
I told you from the get-go that Bernie's not going to be the nominee, and Bernie even knows it.
And Harry Reid, Dingy Harry, they interviewed him about all this, and Dingy Harry had a couple of interesting things to say.
Dingy Harry said, look, we have to do superdelegates.
We have to do superdelegates.
And I would love it if we get to the convention and we didn't have a nominee until we get to convention.
That would be fun.
I would love to go back to those days.
But then they said, well, Harry, what do you want?
Why do you have to do superdelegates?
He said, because 97% of the population of Iowa is white, and 96% of the population in New Hampshire is white.
We can't, we can't have people in those states with such an overwhelming advantage choosing the nominee in the first two races out of the gate.
There aren't any black people that live there.
There aren't any people of color that live there voting.
It's totally unrepresentative of the country.
It's unfair.
So we have to do the superdelegates to kind of balance it out.
So the superdelegates can represent the minorities who do not live in Iowa or New Hampshire.
And here's just off top my head, stream of consciousness thoughts.
I'm watching these people go on and on and on about immigration.
One of the points they both kept making was, as they as they pushed the idea of amnesty, that the Republicans and anybody else who opposes them, all they want to do is split up families.
We can't allow that.
We can't allow families to be split up.
Why, the family is crucial.
It's a crucial structure.
And one of the reasons that we should not be deporting anybody here is that we're breaking up and busting up families, and it's just unconscionable.
And don't you just love it how these two people, the Democrat Party at large, so concerned about the importance of illegal immigrant families.
But they never stop to think, do they, of the demise of the black family brought about by their very own destructive policies.
I'm going to tell you the Democrat Party is one of the most destructive forces in this country.
We are all dealing with it, but the black family has been seemingly targeted by the Democrat Party because the Democrat Party has no problem becoming the husband in the black family structure, meaning they'll provide for the family if the husband's nowhere around.
Bill Clinton comes along, and he's the reason so many African American men are in prison, and here's his wife up there saying what she's saying about it.
Nobody ever calls her on it, nobody ever asks her about it.
So they tell us that we must not deport these illegal immigrants because we cannot destroy their families.
Yet no mention.
No mention of the total destruction of the black family by liberalism.
By the way, I'm not the only one saying that.
I've had African Americans call this program for 27 years, who have made that claim, made that charge.
There doesn't seem to be any attention paid to the black family.
Whether you want to agree with me or not about whether liberalism has destroyed the black family.
And I don't think it's arguable.
When the federal government is willing to take on the role of husband, the husband doesn't need to hang around and doesn't.
It's not arguable, folks.
But nevertheless, we never hear, we never hear the Democrat Party talk about the family structure at all except in the context of illegal immigrants.
Even when talking about non-minority family members, what is Hillary Clinton say?
Takes a village to raise a child.
The whole concept of family unit is under assault, the children's defense fund, all of these Democrat programs designed to take kids away from fathers who may not be qualified to raise their own children, the desire by the Democrat Party under the auspices of the federal government and state governments to come in child and family services and take the kids away on the basis that the parents are not qualified, not competent.
And we all know the reason for this, the indoctrination of these young kids.
Because the Democrats don't trust the families to do this, because the Democrat Party doesn't trust the average citizen who holds the average citizen in contempt as being incompetent and capable.
But when it comes to the illegal immigrant families, why the Democrats care about them.
They don't seem to care about the black family, don't care about anybody else's family.
They're not worried about busting anybody else's family up.
They're not worried about the federal government taking on the role of parent in any busted up family that they have made possible.
But the illegal immigrant families, why they matter somehow.
That's something of great importance to them.
Bernie Sanders says that one in four African American men have a chance ending up in prison.
You know what stat he did not mention?
He did not point out that those same mythical African American young men, one in four, have a chance to end up in prison.
Half of them don't even have a chance of being born.
The abortion rate, African American community, 50%, folks.
The Democrat Party, why do you think they care so much about illegal immigrants?
Immigration in general, they need a permanent underclass.
And the Democrat Party's aborting a significant percentage of its own future voter base.
They got to get them replaced somewhere.
The overall take on the debate, we've got an audio soundbite here of a montage.
It's just, it's striking, folks.
Let me give America's a terrible country.
We're just downright horrible.
We may be one of the absolute worst places with all the phony false promises and the rigged systems of any country on earth.
The economy's in horror shape, horrible shape, especially for minorities, especially for women, especially for Muslims, as Hillary calls them, especially for the LGBT crowd.
And America is really unfair to criminals who are behind bars, who face discrimination at every turn.
Nobody has any hope.
Nobody has a chance.
Iraq, Nixon, and Henry Kissinger have rigged the game.
I'm not making it up.
That actually came up last night.
Iraq, Henry Kissinger, and Nixon.
And half of the Democrat audience, who's Kissinger?
Who are they talking about?
They don't even know who Henry Kissinger is.
Women are underpaid routinely because of sexist American men who hate them.
Racism has gotten worse under Obama, except they don't ever say under Obama.
And every one of these problems, Hillary and Orbirney can fix.
And again, it's striking.
Seven years into what was supposed to be utopia.
Nirvana.
Seven years.
And the limbaugh theorem is on full display.
These people running around complaining about all these things that have happened as though they've got nothing to do with it.
And it's all on them.
And the poor LGBT people, oh, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender.
You know how bad it is for them in America?
They get married on a weekend, and if that's discovered at work, they get fired on Monday when they get back to work because America sucks.
Because America discriminates.
Not only that, a bakery will likely not make them their cake.
And not only that, a photo studio will likely not show up and take pictures of the wedding, but still they go ahead with it.
They get married.
They have the party.
The boss finds out about it.
They go to work on Monday or whenever the honeymoon's over, and bam, they're zapped.
They're out of there.
Because America sucks.
Muslims, as Hillary pronounces it, face a difficult life in America.
They are routinely discriminated against, despite being on the front lines in the post-9-11 world.
They're doing some of the greatest work done in America.
They're some of the greatest citizens, some of the most devoted, some of the most loyal, and they are some of the most screwed.
Because America sucks.
Healthcare.
Healthcare is so bad, it isn't working.
It is an absolute disaster despite being fixed by Obamacare.
Healthcare needs more money.
Healthcare needs a total overhaul.
Healthcare needs somebody who actually cares.
And all of this is stated, folks.
I'm not making this up.
This is all stating.
You're sitting there saying, wait a minute.
We just reformed health care.
The government just took it over.
The government just took over one-sixth of the U.S. economy under the pretext of fixing it all.
That happened in 2010.
It's 2016, five, six years later.
It's worse than ever if you listen to these people.
America is a vast prison.
Oh, yes.
No matter which direction you look, north, south, east, west, up, down, America is a prison, innocent people locked up for petty infractions.
And of course, minorities hardest hit.
Illegal immigrants, they're not illegal.
They are the victims of discrimination, xenophobia, racism, and bigotry.
They're not illegal.
We need to encourage more of them to come here.
Especially poor women and children.
We need more poor women.
We need more poor children to come here because America sucks.
Why do we want them to come here?
After going through all that's wrong with America, and it's not a pretty picture.
There's nothing positive, folks.
There wasn't one positive thing.
Why would you want anybody to come here to live in this hellhole?
Unless you hated them and wanted to get even with them for something.
No, I'm not kidding.
Even though our economy sucks, even though we have no jobs, even though there's no health care, it's not working, and when you add to it, the Republicans don't like them, why would you want them to come?
What kind of compassion is that?
Would you invite somebody over to your house that's leaking, that stinks, that has animal feces all over the place and half the population's ex-cons?
No.
Why would you invite them to your country when you see it that way?
The rich.
They're the only ones benefiting benefiting from America.
And all their money.
Every dime they've got has come from wealth transfers from the poor and the middle class.
The rich have what they have because they've taken.
I've never understood the math on this.
How billionaires become billionaires by taking money from people that never had it.
But that's what they told us last night.
That's what Hillary and Crazy Bernie told us.
Bankers, big oil, big pharma, big box retailer all corrupt.
All the institutions are corrupt.
The only pure people in America are Democrat politicians.
They're the only ones unsullied, the only ones uncorrupted, the only ones capable of true compassion and caring.
Truth is they're the architects of all this, as you well know.
Here's our montage that somewhat summarizes all of this.
And keep in mind as you listen to this, these are the architects of the misery they are whining about here.
Aligned with the corrupt campaign finance system is a rigged economy.
Working longer hours for lower wages.
Americans haven't had a raise in 15 years.
Very rich are getting richer.
Wastewater plants, our rail, our airports are disintegrating the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country.
Really systemic racism.
Low wages and high unemployment.
Inhumane treatment visited upon families, waking them up in the middle of the night, rounding them up.
You judge a nation not by the number of millionaires and billionaires it has, but by how we treat the most vulnerable and fragile people in our nation.
We're not doing particularly well.
Poison in the water, poor miners who are being left out, LGBT people who get married on Saturday and get fired on Monday.
We have work to do.
We have a lot of work to do.
There it is.
LGPT people get married on Saturday, get fired on Monday, don't get a wedding cake, and don't get any wedding pictures.
We laugh at this stuff, but you got it.
Forty percent of the country minimum eats this up.
Forty percent of the country buys this.
Hook, line and sinker.
And by the way, I'm convinced that these people listen to this program because it was um it was earlier this week that I accused Hillary Clinton of racism and bigotry because not only did she try to stop the first black guy from becoming president, that would be Barack Hussein.
Now she's attempting to stop the first Jewish guy from becoming president.
And they were asked this question last time.
Bernie Sanders was asked a question.
That's why I know they listened.
They were worried that it worked, so Gwen Eiffel had to turn it around.
Bernie, are you worried you are thwarting history here by denying Mrs. Clinton a chance to be the first woman?
It was folks.
They knew damage was done with my little joke, and they had to try to correct it last night.
It was great.
I think Hillary Clinton.
Given the way she and Bernie Sanders describe America, it is it's unkind, and it's certainly not compassionate, and it's exploitative.
Look at how she's pushing for all these poor immigrants to come to the U.S. And why does she want them here?
All she wants is replacement people for the people the Democrats are aborting.
She needs a permanent underclass.
They need votes.
She is willing to bring poor, uneducated, unskilled people into a hellhole of a country for her own power and personal benefit.
And every other Democrat is the same.
I am not exaggerating, and I'm not just trying to make a point.
After describing this country the way these two did last night, why would you want anybody to come here?
Why wouldn't you want people to be able to escape this?
Certainly you wouldn't want people to come here and be thrown into this mess, unless you wanted to exploit them.
Unless you don't really care about them, unless what you really want is just their votes.
Unless you want to make them your dependence.
You don't really want to improve their lives.
You just want to turn them into dependent on you.
This is the height of insult.
This is Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders admitting that all they care about these people for is to use them.
Here is Gwen Eiffel asking Crazy Bernie if he is standing in the way of history.
Senator, do you worry at all that you will be the instrument of thwarting history, as Senator Clinton keeps claiming, that she might be the first woman president?
Well, you know, I think from an historical point of view, somebody with my background, somebody with my views, somebody who has spent his entire life taking on the big money interest.
I think a Sanders victory would be of some historical accomplishment as well.
Come on, Bernie, you're gonna put that up against the first female president.
You don't even mention that you're Jewish.
The question needs to be asked of Hillary Clinton.
She's the one on record.
She is the one who already has a track record in history of trying to deny minorities their rightful place in this country.
Barack Hussein Obama, the uh Reverend Jackson, who at one point wanted to be president her husband gets in the way.
Now she tries to stop Obama, and now she's trying to stop the first Jewish guy from becoming president.
And they ask the Jewish guy if he's the one being unfair.
You want to rig a game?
Do it that way.
Now here it is.
There's the story about the NFL.
I, you know, I saw this earlier this week.
It's in the stack of things unrelated to the campaign, and that's a huge stack.
There's so much good stuff piling up in there that has nothing to do with the campaign, and I've I've set it aside because everybody's focus right now is on the presidential race.
But one of these things, the Los Angeles market has not had a football team since uh 1990 something when the Raiders went back to Oakland.
And it's been great for people in LA because they haven't had a home team they have to watch on TV.
Which means if the home team sucks, you have to watch the home team games, home and road.
LA hasn't had to do that.
LA's gotten the best games on TV, over the air broadcast, every weekend.
That's going to change now.
Now they've got to watch the Rams.
But the NFL said, look, it's a number two market.
We cannot not be there.
So this long arduous process began to select a couple teams, max, one team to go there, maybe two.
The way it's ended up, the St. Louis Rams have left and they're going to go to Los Angeles, going to go back to Los Angeles.
Stan Cronke, the owner has promised to build this massive new facility in Englewood.
And uh near the airport near LAX.
And the owners saw his presentation, and this is incredible.
This is just incredible.
Plus all the uh relocation fees, $550 million to move your team, you have to pay to the leagues.
It's a deal they couldn't turn down.
There was an alternative deal in Carson, California.
It involved the Raiders and the San Diego Chargers going and occupying one stadium.
And that was thought to be the deal that everybody preferred until Cronke made his presentation on January 12th, and it blew the Carson deal out of the water.
So the way it's ended up is that the San Diego Chargers who've had trouble getting a new stadium in San Diego, which is said to be due to the people of San Diego unwilling to use public money to help build the stadium, new stadium.
The Chargers were given a year to make a deal with Cronke and decide to move to LA with him, become the Los Angeles Chargers, two teams in that new stadium.
And then that depended whether or not they wanted to take equity in the whole operation, become partners with Kronke or just tenants.
So you had to put that deal together.
And in the process of all of this happening, it was learned why the league opted for Cronkey and did not go for the Carson Initiative, which would have had the Chargers and the Raiders there.
In a comprehensive look at the furious battle for Los Angeles among the Rams, Chargers, and Raiders, one passage alludes to the concern regarding Raiders fans, as follows.
Quote, most owners wanted to avoid a Raiders' return to Los Angeles, because they still hate Al Davis, even though he's passed away.
Oh.
Oh, I can say something now, by the way.
Owing to Al Davis burning bridges, the league, even though many of the owners were not even owners when Al Davis was still hate the guy.
Constantly suing the league, Pete Rosell and all that.
Plus this.
Most owners wanted to avoid a Raiders' return to Los Angeles because of the co-opting of Raiders team apparel by Southern California gangs.
Concerns so deep that some wouldn't even consider Carson.
The bottom line, what's been revealed here is that deep in the bowels of NFL hearings, meetings, somebody said, we don't want the Raiders back anywhere in LA.
Carson Englewood, Southern California, we don't want them anywhere because gangs here are going to co-opt them, and the Raiders are going to end up wearing gang apparel and the gangs are going to end up wearing Raiders' apparel, and we don't want this kind of an image in the NFL.
Now let me give you a something, some of you probably know this, but others of you might not.
And it's not just true of the National Football League.
Have you noticed, like for those of you fans of Rutgers, what's the name of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights or something?
Their color is red.
UCLA, powder blue.
Have you noticed that now and then they wear all black uniforms or all black jerseys?
Do you know why this is?
You don't know why this is.
No, because the players want this because black is an acknowledged gang color.
That's why so many NFL teams have a third alternative jersey that has black.
The Detroit Lions never wore black in a hundred thousand years until a couple years ago.
The Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl, their colors are not black.
They're Columbia blue and silver and white.
All of a sudden, the cast couple three years, they've had black Baltimore Ravens, purple and white, never black, but all of a sudden they've got black.
And the reason for this is that my point here is the NFL is worried about something that's already happened.
And I know the people that don't know this or hearing this are going to think, my God, this Limbaugh guy's office.
You before you challenge me on this, I challenge you.
Do your own work on this, Google search it, whatever.
And there is no question, and by the way, some of this is even pushed by the manufacturers of the apparel, which is either Adidas, depending on the team or league, or Nike.
But I mean, the point is it's already happened.
I didn't know it.
I didn't until I when all these teams started adopting alternative jersey colors as black or putting black somewhere in a uniform predominantly when they had never ever had black as part of the color scheme.
And I saw it referenced by a number of sports writers who acknowledge that this was the subtle reason, never announced that this is why.
You'll never find a story that announces this is why.
It's just the players wanted it.
Coaches want to keep the players happy in this kind of regard.
If uh wearing black makes them feel different, more dominant, whatever, fine.
We don't care.
So put it in a color scheme, petition the league.
Takes a couple years, change the uniform or add an alternative color, and bamboo, you're in there.
Here's uh here's Tony in Helen, Ohio as we start on the phones.
Always starting the phones in the first hour on open line Friday.
It's great to have you, Tony.
Hi.
Uh hi, Rush.
Thank you very much.
You bet.
The uh reason I'm calling is I know you love to uh to discuss when a uh conservative gets one over on the liberal media.
Oh, yes.
One of our favorite times in history when that happens.
Well, what I'm referencing is this uh this ad that Ted Cruz had just run, put together.
This uh conserv well, uh this I think it's called Conservative Anonymous, but uh beyond that, it's uh it happened to include a uh an actress who actually had been in some uh softcore porn in the past.
And the me the uh the the internet ran with that.
Uh every every article about Ted Cruz references the fact that he had to pull the ad because it had a soft soft porn corn uh soft corn porn actress in it.
But the great thing about it is say it again, soft core porn.
There you go.
Soft core porn.
Say it yourself, soft core porn.
And uh the great thing about it is he pulled the ad, is no longer paying for the ad, but it's running viral right now, getting free advertising.
Mm-hmm.
And um they just uh acted antithetical to their uh uh yeah too.
So you think it's a brilliant move.
Cruz puts together an ad with a soft core say it, soft core porn stuff say it.
Soft core porn story.
Right.
So he puts an ad with one of those in there, and it's discovered he immediately yanks the ad when he finds out there's a soft porn core actress in there, and now every have you seen the cruise ad with the porn babe in it?
No, where is it?
And it's viral now.
So you're saying it's a brilliant cruise maneuver to put this uh uh character in the ad, have it discovered as in the Well, I'm not saying it was intentional.
Well, then it couldn't be a good trick.
If it's not intentional, you can't credit Cruz for a brilliant trick.
Well, uh by uh by mistake or by by hook or by crook, he got the he got the mainstream media.
Let me tell you something.
Well, yeah, he did.
Um but uh yeah in one in a manner speaker.
Look, there's another cruise ad out there that that I if this were television I would show you.
And it's you remember there's a there's a movie uh office uh it was a s it was a satire on on life in an office.
Not the office, not the NBC TV show as a movie.
Might have been office space.
Yeah.
Anyway, there's an ad and it's credited to Cruz.
Now, in the movie, the people in the office, their frustration and their dislike and their anger and their futility is represented by a fax machine that never works.
It either runs out of paper or it gets paper jams or something, and it's constantly stopping them from getting anything done.
And so they take this fax machine outside into a field with a baseball bat, three of them, and they just beat the thing to pieces.
That's right, I thought it's office space.
Well, the Cruz ad does not have Cruz in it.
The Cruz ad has Hillary and two cronies taking a server, an email server out into the field and beating it to Smithereens with a baseball bat in a direct parody of what happened in the movie The Office Space, where they destroy a fax machine.
The Cruz ad has Hillary destroying an email server.
Now, I have looked at reviews of this ad, and some people think it's a brilliant ad.
Oh my God, this is one of the best ads that has run.
And other people, how can it be good?
If you don't know about Hillary's email scandal, this ad's not going to make any sense to you.
And there's nothing in the ad that explains Hillary has an email scandal that's left to the knowledge of the viewer.
In addition, so as far as I've been able to tell, the ad is only running on MSNBC.
Of course, it's gone viral now.
And MSNBC is crediting it to the to the Cruz campaign, but there's no there are none of the usual disclaimers on the ad.
But Cruz Is being credited for it.
So look, our crack staff Coco and the gang up at Rushlandbot.com will find this and we'll uh we'll link to it there, Il Quicko, so that uh so that you can see it yourself.
Because it is, if you if you understand everything going on, if you've seen office space, if you've seen that if you've seen that scene where they beat up the fax machine, and if you understand Hillary's got a problem with her email server, this ad will be uproariously funny and brilliantly creative to you.
By the way, this black uniform color business, it's it's not just the National Football League.
Some universities have been forced to change or to add black to the uniform, usually at the jersey, in order to be able to recruit players.
Players have demanded, or they're not going to go to the school.
Folks, this the NFL, I they have to know this.
This idea that they want to keep the Raiders out of LA because they're worried about gangs co-opting Raiders' apparel, Raiders' apparel is all ready.
Can't get more.
I mean, it's black and silver and it's got pirate and knight up there with the knife in the mouth and so forth.
I mean, it's black hole, a fan base in the open the Oakland Coliseum.
I just think it's it's the horse is out of the barn on this one.
Here's uh here's Mike in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Mike, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Russ, man, you rock.
I've been listening to it since 1991.
Well, I appreciate that.
Thanks.
Thanks much.
You bet.
Uh listening to the debate last night, how his lap and because I'm thinking of the Clintons and how they basically got Bernie, the leadership of the Democrats got Bernie to run so that they could make Hillary look centrist.
And I just see this totally packfiring on her because the fake centrist that she is, he can't out left the leftist.
Let me ask you a question.
You make it sound like Bernie's campaign is all uh planned and is.
Well, no, if I'm asking you, do you think that do you think Bernie's really not serious about this as he's agreed to be a placeholder to make Hillary look better or tougher?
He's a true winner here.
Because here's why.
Way back when this is all being planned down, you got to think that the president, your, you know, Debbie Watson and Schill, the Clintons are sitting there, way, what are we going to do to win this?
And you know, let's put Bernie up there.
He'll make Hillary look centrist, which everybody believes you need to get elected.
So Bernie's standing there going, why?
You're going to use me.
And and and they say, sure, but you get to legitimize your views to more people in our country and move our country, the body politic in your direction.
So it was a win for him, too.
Whether or not it was realistic for him to become president, he gets his goal.
Yeah, understand all that.
What I'm asking you is do you think that that Bernie Sanders was approached and said, Bernie, we want you to pretend to run for president.
Be who you are.
Try as hard as you want to win, but you're there to make Hillary look a little bit more moderate or centrist.
Do you think, or did, or did he decide to do this on his own because he really wants to be president?
Well, I think he really wants to be president.
He's putting everything into it.
But I think, yeah, I think the leadership came to him and put this on a platter for him, and why would he say no?
It's I think it's in his heart just the same.
I think he believes our country is ready for this approach.
I mean, he wants to give away more than Hillary wants and uh and really do it.
So I think he's a true believer.
And he wants to there's no there's look, there's no question he's a true believer.
I don't my my question is is how serious is he really?
This no, because this the the superdelegate thing, that's where this game is rigged.
He blew her away in New Hampshire, and she ends up nine more delegates.
He couldn't beat her more decisively than he did.
Nowhere else could he beat her more decisively.
If he got 60, and she got 38, and she wins delegate count by nine, you telling me this isn't rigged.
It's obviously rigged, and that's what the superdelegate process is for.
The superdelegate process on the Democrat side is for the leaders of the party to guarantee the person they want gets the nomination, no matter What happens in these primaries?
It would take an utter collapse on the part of Hillary Clinton.
Now, what's happening?
You're right.
Hillary is blowing this.
If there's a strategy here to make her look like a centrist, if the strategy is to have Crazy Bernie be crazy wacko leftist so that Hillary can look unlike she's that and more moderate and more reasonable.
She's getting into an argument with him over who can be further left.
If that's the strategy, she herself is blowing this because she has entered the fray as I'm a better liberal than Bernie.
I will go farther left than Bernie will.
Whenever Bernie scores with some wacko progressive point, Hillary is right in there saying, I'm the real progressive in this race, and I have done what Bernie says he wants to do, and I've been there and I've already made it.
So she's not taking advantage here to occupy the center.
She's in a knockdown drag out with the guy to own the left.
Now, this to me represents just a golden opportunity for the Republicans.
Whether they will seize that opportunity, that's a whole nother question.
But it certainly is there.
The Republican campaign fireworks.
Donald Trump says that he's um he's gonna go positive now.
He's pulling back all the negative ads on Cruz.
Rubio is uh feisty.
John Kasich is worried that Jeb Bush is ruining the family legacy by going negative.
Jeb's bringing in George W. Bush next week into South Carolina.
So the Republican side really percolating.
