Time Text
Yeah, it is exactly as uh my instincts suggested.
Scott Walker just happened to say, was talking to reporters last Thursday, in fact.
And all he said was, quote, I think if it's an open convention, it's very likely it will be somebody who's not currently running.
I mean, who knows?
The one thing, the one thing I qualify, it's like the qualifications see on those ads, you see for car dealerships.
I think any of us who comment on this election have to qualify that almost every prediction has been off, so it's hard to predict anything.
But he was, he was looking, Scott Walker, he's he's closer to this than I am, and he obviously knows what's going on.
If neither of these three throw Kasich in there just because he's still running, if neither of these three, you know, that really is such a uh a joke.
I uh but he's there, so if neither of these three get 1237 delegates, I'm telling you, Walker, his instincts are right on the money.
The party wants to choose somebody else.
Folks, it's no there's there's no mystery about this.
Don't be fooled with these endorsements for Cruz.
I mean, some of them are legit, but look at Lindsay Gramnesty.
When Lindsay Graham, who I like, by the way, you know, I've been he's okay.
He's a he's uh as a human being, he's not a reprobate.
You know, I I tell him when I think he's off the rail politically and so forth, but he's uh he he said when he endorsed Cruz that he thinks Kasich's the best guy.
During his endorsement of Cruz.
I mean, all these guys are qualifying their endorsements of Cruz.
Some aren't, like Scott Walker, some are full-fledged endorsements, but I'm here to tell you that the grand pubas of the GOP don't want either of these two people.
Trump or Cruz.
And you know that.
You don't need even need me to tell you that.
They're both considered to be outsiders.
Interestingly, they really don't like Cruz much more than they don't like Trump.
They think they think Cruz is a big hypocrite.
They they think you well, you know what they think of Cruz?
I'll tell you what they think.
They think that Cruz is bitter.
That, you know, Cruz started out with George W. Bush, and his wife started out with George W. Bush, and he was uh they think he was in the establishment, they think he was trying to climb the ladder of the establishment.
That's what they think.
They think Cruz was in it, that he was he had a career decision to rise as high as he could in the Republican Party, and he gave it a shot, and because nobody liked him, I'm just telling you what, this is the scuttle butt out there among the people, the upper echelons of the party, and because nobody liked Cruz, he didn't go anywhere.
And so he had to change course and decided to buck the establishment.
And the establishment guys know it, think he's a hypocrite, and then they don't like him to boot anyway.
So those are the reasons they're opposed to Cruz.
Uh there are more reasons, too, such as Cruz is conservative, they don't want any part of conservatism actually dominating the Republican Party.
Which is the strangest thing.
You know, they wanted to dereganize this party.
And they did, and they don't like the result, isn't it interesting?
That's really what they're upset about.
They they try to de-emphasize conservatism, get conservatism out of the party in terms of of it being a dominating factor, and they don't like the results.
So they're striking out, trying to blame all kinds of people except themselves.
They are the reasons why they find themselves in this unenviable position of perennial loser on the on the on the national level.
And Trump they just don't like because they don't think they control Trump.
They think they may be able to make deals with him, but Trump's such an outsider.
Trump's made a mockery of their whole business, and they just can't let somebody win doing that.
They can't let some outsider who in their minds doesn't even know what he's doing, come in and actually take control of their apparatus and triumph.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no way, not gonna happen.
Yeah, we're we're we're not we're not gonna let anybody from outsider organism come in here and upset the apple cart this way.
The point is Walker's right.
If nobody gets 1237, the Grand Poobas are gonna use that as a pretext of choosing somebody else.
But that doesn't mean that Walker can't endorse Cruz.
He's not being hypocritical there.
He's not flip-flopping.
So he's free to endorse whoever he wants, and he has he has endorsed Cruz.
I would have been shocked if he would have hadn't endorsed Trump because Trump is not party.
That's kind of what was surprising about Christie endorsing Trump.
Trump is not party.
And the party people, the party guys, uh stick together.
Now in the Corey Lewandowski situation, it's kind of strange.
The media cannot get enough of this.
I mean, CNN, I think has been doing this for a half hour already.
And all there is to this is this.
Lewandowski has been charged, and there are two schools of thought.
Some people say that he's not been arrested.
He has been instead served with an order to appear.
So it's it's not technically an arrest, but is a written order to appear in court on a certain day.
And that's where you essentially are arraigned.
You enter your plea, and then they go from there.
Now the Jupiter police, however, are saying he has been arrested.
So there's some linguistics disparity here.
But it is a misdemeanor, the maximum statutory penalties for what Lewandowski's been charged with.
Maximum one year behind bars, maximum one year probation, either or and or whatever fines might be added to this as well.
Given that this would be a first offense, you know, you don't know the political makeup of the uh of the prosecutor's office.
I mean, there's all kinds of factors that will uh weigh in on this.
And of course, Lewandowski's gonna plead not guilty, which means it's going to require proof on the part of the accusers.
But what's going to happen here is that the anti-Trump forces are going to start running with this.
And my prediction is that they will fold this in to the effort they are making to show that Trump is just doing so badly with women that he's polling so horribly with women, and now his campaign manager says since he's been charged with roughing up a woman, oh my god, that's the way they're going to play this out.
The uh opponents of Trump and the media as uh as well.
But that's all it is right now.
You've been with the denials that it happened, you've got uh the woman, Michelle Fields bruises on her arms.
The video of this, I don't know how many angles of it now there are.
But unless somebody can really slow-mo this video down, and then use all kinds of graphic pointers and arrows on the screen, you would never know this thing happened.
You have to see it in slow-mo.
Somebody has to tell you where to look and what to look for.
So, just in terms of video capture, there's nothing apparent that you can see.
It happens where people are exiting the stage area, the podium area, and Trump was leaving, and he didn't intend to answer any more questions, and there's press all around.
And he's got the entourage acting as uh bodyguards and so forth, escorting him out of the ballroom at the Trump National Golf Club, whatever the place was.
And this woman, Michelle Fields, got in there somehow and tried to ask Trump a question.
And the charge is that Lewandowski grabbed her arm and yanked her away from Trump and out of line, and that she almost fell to the ground.
There was such force being used.
Trump did not see it, and you can see on the video that he couldn't have.
It happened behind him.
He didn't know, he didn't even know this had gone on.
Nobody knew it had gone on until Michelle Fields popped up, and there was a witness, a reporter for the Washington Post who was behind all this Who said that he saw it.
So there is that which is in there the bruises on her arms.
So they've been unable to take Trump out, using everything at their disposal.
They have tried everything they know, both the media and the Republican establishment, and don't think the Democrats haven't been looking at this and figuring out how they would do it if time comes.
And nobody's been able to.
So this is the latest effort.
This is the latest event that has presented itself to maybe take Trump out of this.
Oh, and there's one other thing I've got to there's a uh uh somebody posted something at some obscure website that I've not heard of.
I guess it may not be obscure to the people that read it.
The woman, don't remember her name, claims to have been an original hire by Trump at a pack-like organization.
I don't think that the woman was hired, she was a PR spokesman.
I don't think she was actually hired to speak for the campaign.
She was hired to do something related to it.
Anyway, to cut to the chase, this woman wrote a piece that was published on this website in which she claims this whole thing is a joke.
That Trump never intended to win.
All he wanted to do was to get the 12 to 15% of the polls.
He would be content to be in second place, but didn't want to win.
He just was doing this for added prestige in business, added promotional visibility, I forget other things that she said.
And she said that, but all the people that started out were just true believers and they loved it and it was exciting.
And when Trump started, nobody ever thought it was going to get as big as it has, including Trump.
But then she writes, she began to sour on Trump.
She began to sour on the ego, and some of the horrible things that he was saying about people like what he said about McCain and others.
And eventually she said she couldn't take it.
And she felt ashamed and embarrassed that she had ever been a Trumpist.
And so she left, and now she's writing this piece to warn everybody that Trump is out of his league because he never intended to get this far.
He never intended to win.
Well, you saw it.
I mean, it it's the the woman never claims that she worked for Trump.
You are to infer that she was close to Trump, but she never actually states that.
It's my, you know, when I read this, I didn't, I didn't really attach much credence to it, and I didn't even print it out.
I can probably find it.
But I've been waiting for this.
The point of the reason I'm bringing this up is because I've been waiting.
I'm surprised it's taken this long for somebody claiming to be close to come forth and say, hey, he doesn't want to win.
He's scared to death.
He never intended to get it this far.
This whole thing is just a joke that took off, and nobody working with Trump had the slightest idea but what's changed.
Now Trump does want it, she writes.
Now he's dead serious and wants it.
Now he can see it.
He never thought he'd get anywhere near the White House, and now he can see that he can.
And he is serious about it now.
And all this desire to finish second is out the window.
He wants the whole ball of wax.
He wants the whole shebang.
He wants it all.
And nobody can tell him anything, she writes.
Now, I don't know if this piece that I saw is gonna bubble up.
I would think that it would have by now.
By bubble up, I mean show up in the drive-by media.
So far, it's at an obscure website, maybe linked by the Huffing and Puffington Post, but I can't, my memory is not even clear on that.
But I just I've been waiting for somebody, maybe not even with the camp.
I've been waiting for somebody to pop up and say.
Because this is what happened with Perot, folks.
Except in Perot's case, it was true.
Perot didn't want to win and got scared to death when it looked like he might.
That's why he quit.
That's why he got out.
You remember the excuse that Trump that that Perot gave when he announced he was exiting the campaign.
I do.
He said he had had his fill of Bush dirty tricks.
When Bush hired photographers, infiltrated his daughter's or daughter-in-law son's wedding or whatever it was, that was the final straw.
That's what told him he didn't want any part of this.
And at the time everybody kind of chuckled because that was that's chump change compared to what was actually happening in the campaign then, to say, you're getting out because some photographers infiltrated your daughter's wedding and this is a dirty trick, you don't want to deal with it.
But that's what he said.
So because that happened in 92 with Trump Perot, I've been I've been waiting for somebody, maybe making it up, lying about it, doesn't matter, but I've been waiting for somebody to pop up and say, you people are falling for a giant scam.
He doesn't intend to win.
He doesn't want to win.
He never set out to win.
Now he doesn't know what to do, because it looks like he's going to win.
So if you haven't seen it yet, and you Trumpists, you keep a sharp eye out, because it's out there now.
It's just waiting to be picked up.
And I don't know that it will.
Maybe maybe the woman that wrote this thing has no credibility with anybody.
I don't know.
But you know how things are when they hit the world wide web.
You know, and somebody tweets, you know, a little sentence or two from this thing.
You just don't know how things can explode out there and out of control.
I just wanted you to be on the cutting edge.
We'll be back.
Yeah, now look, I I found the article and I found the website, and I'm not going to tell you what they are.
Look, I'm not going to be responsible for this.
I've told you everything you need to know about it.
Uh people magazines picked it up.
Look at this, maybe Slade Yahoo and so forth.
Uh but it's it's I'll give you here's here's another article posted at this website.
Just here's here's just to give you an example.
I love my baby, but I regret becoming a mother.
That's the kind of story posted at this website.
Another I k I kid you not.
Are you ready for another one?
David Brooks, cover your ears.
You might consider this to be uncivil, but I'm just gonna read you another story posted at this website.
I was born without a vagina.
I was born without a vagina.
I love my baby, but I regret becoming a mother.
I started working for Trump, but he never intended to win.
And when he thought he could, I got scared and quit.
And when he thought he could, I got scared and quit.
Look at I'm leaving out one word, and not even I, I'm gonna read the whole headline.
I was born without a vagina.
Fill in the blank.
That's what it says.
Brett in Southern California, you're next on the EIB network.
How are you?
Hi, Rush.
Um, longtime listener since 1990, first time caller.
Great to have you on the program, Brett.
I appreciate that.
Oh gosh.
Uh I I have two quick comments, two points.
The first one is this listening to you earlier, uh, the segment about Brooks and Roe's conversation and their uh uh just elitist comments and and and how he was he was referencing uh the establishment reminded me of what you said several years ago, and I don't know if it's fifteen years ago or ten years ago or what, but it was a long time ago.
You had always said we need to politically destroy or defeat the Democrats.
And back then I thought that was a little I didn't say harsh, but I just thought it was I don't know about that.
We just need to, you know, convince them.
Okay, let me let me guess.
You you're driving around and and you're you're I mean, you think you're a political guy, but but you're not in this to fight, you're in this to prevail and win.
But it's not an you know politics is not a life and death thing.
You ride around and you're hearing me say, folks, I'm telling you, if we're gonna have a country Like you and I have known it, we are going to have to politically destroy the Democrat Party.
And you thought, my God, that's so extreme.
Holy cow, that's so far.
That's probably what you thought, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, obviously it wouldn't come close to making me shut you off.
I I actually agreed with you, but I just thought the terminology is a very good thing.
Yeah, you couldn't reach my little harsh.
Little extreme to destroy the whole party mark.
Yeah, and but but I meant it.
I meant it then, I mean it now.
Oh, if people listened back then, we wouldn't be where we are now.
So now it's not about this destroying politically the Democrats.
It now it's liberals.
And the thing is is the Republican establishment is now lumped in there.
So it's no now it's really to me no more a party.
It's a uh it's philosophy, obviously.
You know, you you you are let me you are so right, and I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you how you're right, because what you're really saying is that the Republican Party, you finally agreed with me.
You finally understand that it was liberals that I was talking about.
And what do we not get from the Republican Party?
We don't get pushback against liberalism ever anymore.
They used to.
When the Republican Party, when it's presidential candidates or uh heck anybody in it started deriding and and and accusing people of being liberals, it worked.
It used to be a bad name.
That's why they came up with the word progressive, by the way.
There used to be a day, but today the Republican Party doesn't stand for opposing it.
They don't push back against it.
They don't try to characterize it at all.
Uh and that's sad reality.
And that's one of the reasons why the left continues to prevail.
No opposition where it counts.
They've got a Kasich spokesman on CNN weighing in on this Lewandowski thing.
I don't know.
Something about that just offends my sensibilities.
A Kasich spokesman?
She got you got the Trump spokeswoman up there.
You got a Cruz spokesman, Kasich spokesman, you got Wolf Blitzer.
And uh and they're ganging up on the babe.
She's holding her own pretty well.
What's her name?
Katrina, what's her freedom?
Peterson.
What's her name?
Katrina.
Anyway, uh Kasich spokesman Pearson.
That's it.
A Kasich spokesman Wayne, you know.
Okay.
Back to the phones.
Roger in Detroit.
Your next sir.
Thank you for calling the program.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
Um Rush, why are you in favor of a brokered convention?
It seems at this point Cruz is nothing but a protest vote.
He can't win 86% of the delegates.
I don't I don't get it.
Uh I why am I in f I didn't know I was in favor of a brokered convention.
Well, because there's no reason at this point to cast a vote for Cruz because he's not going to win 86% of the remaining delegates.
I didn't say that.
Are you in a wait, no, no?
Seriously, wait a minute.
Are you inferring that that's what I mean when I point out he's got to win 80%?
Well, I'm trying to warn everybody of what's coming up at a brokered convention.
Okay.
So at this point, why should anyone vote for Cruz?
Why shouldn't Cruz drop out and just say enough of this garbage trying to kick kick Trump?
Everyone is kicking Trump from every angle.
He's getting no positive press.
What what's the purpose?
Trump is getting he's getting Democrats to switch 50,000 Democrats at Pennsylvania to switch to Republicans.
Right.
Is that a bad thing?
No, I've talked about that.
I'm the guy pointing out that Trump has put together a coalition of Republican Party's been claiming that it needs, but that they want no part of it.
How could the Democrats win when Trump is gutting out their base?
That is their base.
Besides the African American vote, the working class white union guy is their base.
And Trump is gutting it.
Well, but he Yeah, but I'm I'm gonna answer your question, but I'm not gonna I'm telling you what other people are saying.
They're claiming that despite all of that, Trump's negative numbers with women and Hispanics are off the charts, and that whatever He's bringing in the in terms of the you know white working class Democrat voters not enough to offset his negatives.
I don't happen to believe any of that, Roger.
I'm just telling you what they're all saying.
I don't think it's possible for a candidate's negatives to be as high as they're reporting Trump's to be, and the guy winning.
I I can understand if a guy's in third place like Kasich has won one state and has negatives like that.
But it doesn't make sense that the front runner running away with everything has high negatives like that.
Something here is out of what doesn't make sense to me.
But I'm just telling you what there's win a million votes in Florida if he's so negative, Mr. Trump.
But you know how this works.
He's the front runner, everybody guns for the front runner.
Well, why Congress is at four percent approval rating and they keep winning re-election.
And because nobody's voting to re elect Congress.
They're voting to re-elect their guy who they think's okay.
They hate every other member of Congress, but they love their guy.
Everybody knows that.
That's not true because they feel betrayed.
Most voters feel betrayed by the Republican Party.
Eighty-six percent feel betrayed of the voters that are voting for Cruz or Trump.
Two ships passing in the night here.
I know what's that?
I'm you're you're absolutely right that the attitude of people is anti-establishment, it's anti Washington.
But when you go to vote for your con congressional representatives, it doesn't say vote for against Congress.
It's your guy on the ballot.
Look at the look at the if you doubt me, do you know what the incumbency reelection rate is in the House of Representatives?
It's like 90%.
Right.
So what does it tell you?
Despite all this hatred, guys keep getting re-elected because people like their guy.
They hate the institution and they hate everybody in it, but they like their guy.
Because their guy just got the old h old folks' home built.
Or just brought back money to build a bridge across some little waterway somewhere.
Well, that's the problem.
All these people bringing the park home.
Yes.
That does not I'm don't misunderstand.
I'm not arguing with you.
What I'm telling you does not cancel out the huge anti-establishment sentiment that is propelling Trump and to a certain extent cruise.
But it is contradictory because the very people that have this distaste for the establishment are returning their own congressmen at a rate of 93% to Congress.
I do not want a brokered convention.
Who said a brokered convention?
Where did it what I he do he's inferring this is important.
As a communicator, I have to learn this.
So I'm not gonna argue with him.
Roger, I appreciate the call.
I appreciate it.
He's uh he's obviously a Trumpist.
He thinks that I'm a cruiser.
I did answer his question.
I didn't know that I wanted a brokered convention.
I do not yeah, now I know I do, so why do I want one?
You know, it's fascinating, folks.
This this this man, Roger, he he loves his candidate and he loves Trump, and he thinks everybody's ganging up on his guy, including me.
He listens to this program and all he hears is cruise cruise cruise cruise great cruise this cruise that.
And it won't be five minutes that we're gonna take a call from a from a person.
How can you sell conservatives out and be still supported to Trump?
Why am I you condemned Trump?
Why haven't you warned everybody what a rot gut torrible horrible guy Trump is?
You're letting conservatives in the Washington Post it is a giant piece, blaming me for all of this.
I alone single-handedly am responsible for the dilution, the watering down, and the ultimate disappearance of conservatism.
And yet I'm for a brokered convention.
I am a cruiser.
I'll tell you, I uh listening to the phone calls of this program, sometimes I wonder what I am for.
They say what people think they're hearing.
Actually, folks, no, I've got it all under control.
I find it fascinating.
This guy is such a Trump supporter that he's convinced that I am for a brokered convention.
No, wait, he's a cruise supporter.
No, wait, now I'm confused.
He's a Trump supporter, pray praising praising Cruz to high heavens, but then he can then he complained at me.
He complained he This is what confuses me.
He accused me of being a cruiser, but at the same time, I'm telling people not to vote for Cruz because you have a prayer.
Brokered convention.
Yeah.
Right, because I want a brokered convention.
Right.
Well, if if if if Cruz gets out, there won't be a brokered convention.
I mean, then Kasich's not going to win any more states than he's already won.
I don't know.
I this is all just everything, folks.
You never stop.
Everything's a learning experience.
Everything has in it teachable moments.
And uh, you know, I I remain fascinated when I learn how people think and how they hear things.
It's very helpful.
Thanks again, Roger.
This is uh this is Burl.
Burl in Houston.
It's great to have you on the program.
Burl, how are you?
I'm good, Rush.
Uh 20 years, Republic of Texas dittoes, buddy.
Thank you very much, buddy.
Great to have you here.
Uh a couple of things.
First of all, your last caller made the point that Trump is getting hammered everywhere.
I I would beg to differ because you turn on the news, you turn on the Trump news channel in the morning, you get Trump and friends, then you have the Sean Trump and show, you have Bright Trump.
What ridiculous now, my point was this.
Keep going, go ahead.
My main point is this.
Listen, these strumpets are whoring themselves out to the first millionaire that comes along and promises them the world.
And what disgusts me, Rush, is this guy is a lifelong liberal.
I don't like the establishment either.
But so what do we do to get rid of the establishment?
We elect a liberal.
I'm angry.
I'm angry about one thing more than the establishment.
I'm angry.
I'm a 43 years old Russian.
The first time in my life that I have the chance to put a real true conservative into the White House.
And it's disgusting that these people are falling for this charlatan.
And it's also very disturbing to me because I've turned off your show a couple of times, Russia, and it disturbs me because I've been a fan for years and years and years.
What bothers me is that if Trump was doing the same things, if he was the Democrat nominee doing the same things, acting childishly as he does, and denigrating women, you would be all over him.
You would be destroying him rightfully so because he'd be the Democrat nominee.
It's the it's I don't understand it.
The the conservative world has gone crazy.
You know, the the you had the strut is calling in saying that Ted Cruz is the establishment candidate because of who he's associated with through their very reluctant endorsement of him.
That being the case, then, and by the strumpet logic, what that is is Donald Trump is a Democrat because he gave money and he was associated with the Democrats for years and years and years, but they don't get that.
There's nothing you can say to a strum that can change their mind.
I know.
And it just blows me, it blows me away.
I know.
I look I know the frustration.
You cannot, in your mind, you cannot talk sense to a Trumpist.
You can't get them to see common sense as you see it.
You can't get them to see the red flags and the warning signs.
Nothing you say will talk them out of it.
And then you turn off Trump news and watch Trump and Friends, and it's just more than you can handle.
It's absolutely true.
And and you know, I I used to enjoy going to Bright Bar.
The one person I still enjoy listening to you, but I I it's it's it's you a little bit, Rush, because like I said, I mean you you you would be denigrating him were he the Democrat candidate.
I just feel that's true.
But I also think it's not my view of common sense.
These are there are actual factual things out there that facts don't matter.
You had another caller today that was saying that Scott Walker flip-flopped.
Are you kidding me?
Scott Walker had one little flip-flop and it bothered this Trump guy, but Trump has flipped flopped for the last year on everything that he said for the last 20, and that doesn't bother you.
Well, no, you know what?
I'm not sure.
No, no, wait.
Hang on a second.
I let me give you my view of this.
It's it's gonna be repetitive because I've said all this before, but I I know you have, and I appreciate I I don't you don't need to explain it.
I'm just I No, no, no, no.
I do need to explain this.
I do need to explain it's it probably it I I I gotta take a break if you can hold on through the break.
I want to explain it it might make you a little angrier, I which I don't I don't want to do that.
That's not gonna be the purpose of the thing.
That's okay.
Let me tease it by telling you.
I don't think that what Trump is doing is flip-flopping in the sense that we all consider flip-flopping.
But don't get mad at that.
I'll tell you why and what I just says, hang on.
I got to take a break.
Just be cool.
Okay, we're back.
Burl, you're still with me here.
I am Rush.
All right.
Now this is very, very important to understand.
You are accusing Trump of essentially flip-flopping because you're right.
He's donated to Democrats and he's done this and that and the other thing.
The reason that I say Trump can't be looked at as a flip-flopper is that Trump is not political.
This is this is the attraction people have for him.
Trump is not an ideological person.
He's not like you or me.
When he sees Chuck Schumer, he doesn't see a raging left-wing extremist who poses a great threat to the American way of life.
He just sees a guy he's got to get through and move around, get around whatever getting business done.
Trump, this is the hardest thing.
He's running for president, which is a political endeavor, but he's not political guy.
His principles are not rooted in ideology.
His principles are rooted in Trump and rooted in business and rooted in Trump's success and Trump happiness.
He does whatever he has to do to succeed in that regard.
The attraction people have for him is just that.
He's not politics.
He's not Washington.
He's not shaped, formed, flaked, battle tested by any of that.
The people supporting Trump blame all of that for what's gone wrong in the country.
Politics is the disease.
They don't think we need somebody better at politics than we've ever had.
They want somebody that has nothing to do with politics.
They are intrigued by the possibility that somebody doesn't know hell from Chinol about politics, can come in and actually fix what the professional politicians have screwed up, and everybody acknowledges that that has happened.
And that's his attraction.
That's why you can't talk a Trumpist out of it by calling him a flip-flopper.
That's why you can't convince a Trumpist to give up Trump by saying, hey, the guy's a liberal.
He supports Democrats.
They don't care.
They see Trump as a success.
There comes the Trump jet.
Here comes the Trump motorcade.
Here comes their Trump Tower.
They see success.
They see a guy who hasn't been held back by any of these political people.
They are being held back.
They see a guy who's found a way around it.
They see a guy who's been able to bully his way through it, whatever they think of it.
They don't see a guy playing a political game.
They see a guy getting out around it and escaping it somehow.
They're intrigued by the possibility that precisely because he's not politics.
That's the definition of outsider in their view.
So if you want to talk him out of it, you're going to have to go about it a different way.
You're going to have to try, hey, he doesn't know what he's doing.
Hey, he's really not competent.
You're going to have a tough sell because they see the big Trump jet with the big Trump name on it in gold.
You're going to have a tough sell no matter what.
They are emotionally connected to more than just Trump.
I've been trying to tell people this for six months.
They are emotionally connected to much more than Trump personally.
Trump represents what they think may never again happen in their lifetimes.
This is this is the equivalent.
I wish I could give you an analogy.
And I can't off on the off the spur of the moment, but it's that's how big it is to them.
These people, many of Trump's supporters, and many people that don't support Trump, by the way, look at the political world and really resent the attitudes we get, the lack of connection, the lack of any real concern.
The concern they have is for people that aren't Americans yet.
Can't even get some of these people to correctly identify what terrorism is and who's doing it.
It's serious stuff in their minds.
They're losing their businesses.
Their kids' futures are bleak, they think.
And they've they've tried, they've invested in the political system all their lives, and they've tried playing by those rules.
And they always, in their minds, ends up with a sh w end up with a short end of the stick.
So they're excited.
They're excited by this, but the possibility, what it represents.
If it blows up, if they elect a guy that doesn't have the slightest idea what he's doing, in their minds it's worth trying.
Because what we've been doing their whole lives has made the biggest mess of a greatest country on earth they could possibly conceive of.
So flip-flopping is not gonna compute.
Now some other things I have to uh touch on out of time here.
This this babe that wrote the Trump piece that he's not serious, she never even worked for the campaign.
She worked for a pack, an early pack, I don't even think it exists anymore.
I got more on that, and this notion of crews dropping out, whoever got that started, that's not that's not reality.
Fact checkers are weighing in on this piece I told you about the woman that used to work for Trump and quit, claiming he doesn't really want to win and all that.
It's being it's being blown up and shot full of holes here pretty good, but there's other stuff out there too.
Some stuff about Hillary's pretty juicy coming up.
