Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
No, I looked for it everywhere.
I looked for it and it just wasn't there.
They took it down.
And I haven't been able to find any evidence of it anywhere.
And I now I'd like to know why they took it down.
What?
Oh, oh, greetings, my friends.
Welcome, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, we're back at you.
Here we are on Thursday.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800 282-2882, the email address.com.
Now, reminder, tomorrow we're doing our annual leukemia thon, the curaton uh for leukemia in conjunction with the leukemia lymphoma society of America.
And, you know, in many years, I don't really spend a lot of time in advance talking about it, but I wanted to this year because everybody has so much focus on the campaign that we don't we don't slack on that.
We uh we do our regular program while also conduct the uh Curathon.
One of the very few uh broadcast entities which can do multiple things at the same time with none of those efforts lacking.
Uh so we will conduct the Curathon for Leukemia tomorrow plus the regular radio program, including your open line Friday calls.
What I was talking about here uh late yesterday afternoon, there was a link posted at the Drudge Report.
Americans overwhelmingly pessimistic about the country's path.
Now, I found that interesting because they talked about it yesterday.
In the context of this campaign, in the context of how everybody's losing focus here, or a lot of people losing focus about what's really important here, meaning the opposition of Democrats because the destruction is taking place.
The more people can learn this, the better.
That the things are going wrong in this country, and everybody's miserable to one extent or another.
I mean, there are pockets of people who are immune to normal everyday media, normal everyday economics, normal everyday mediocrity, and so forth.
But for the most part, everybody's being impacted by this for a host of reasons, all of them traceable to specific policies implemented by the Obama administration and things that happened prior to Obama getting here.
But the point is it's not just I was in the context of millennials thinking that they just happened to be born at that unfortunate time in history where the best of America was behind them.
And no longer could anybody expect that the next generation would do better than the current generation.
And they think that in large numbers in the young generation, but they don't.
They're wrong about that.
And even when they think it, they do not correctly explain to themselves why it's the case.
They just think America's best days are over.
They just think it's evolution.
Because nobody's telling them that the reason they can't find careers, the reason they've got massive debt, and waiting is a story.
Do you know that 40% of college debt is going unpaid?
Now, who runs that?
The regime runs the student loan program now.
That 40%, I'm just gonna warn you, that's a campaign issue for the Democrat Party.
If Hillary or whoever gets into big trouble, don't be surprised if somebody proposes forgiving unpaid student loan debt.
Now they'll have problems with it because some people are paying their debt.
60% are, 40% aren't.
And so if you're gonna forgive those who have not paid anything or who are not paying very much, what do you do with the people who have?
But I'm sure the Democrats can come up with some kind of solution.
Just keep a sharp eye on that.
But anyway, in discussing the overall state of the country, I come across this.
Americans overwhelmingly pessimistic about countries patent.
They said, hot damn, something that's gonna correspond with exactly things I was talking about yesterday.
Click on the link and nothing there.
It's a McClatchy story, they took it down.
And that's all I know.
I I asked a bunch of people, did anybody happen to click on this link before it was taken down?
Does anybody have it cashed?
I couldn't find anybody who did.
So we're just left to wonder why they took it down.
Now the natural thing to think is that it's McClatchy, therefore it's the drive-by media.
Therefore, Americans overwhelmingly pessimistic about countries' path cannot possibly be good news for the regime.
So you add all those things together to take it down.
But there could be other reasons.
Maybe whoever concocted the story got it wrong.
Maybe whoever put together the data got it wrong.
We won't know.
But it was a frustrating thing.
Also, a housekeeping thing.
Yesterday on the program I reported, and I don't remember the source, but I reported on a secret meeting in New York, consisting of political operatives, partisan political operatives, and fundraisers and consultants.
The RNC, purpose of which was to strategize on a contested convention.
And we got a uh we got a note today from the communications and research director at GOP.com.
His name is Marlon Bateman.
And he says he took over as press secretary for James Hewitt.
He says, I wanted to address your comments yesterday on an RNC meeting we had Monday.
This was not a secret meeting among the establishment types.
We had numerous representatives from both the Trump cruise and Kasich campaigns.
We want to keep the process as transparent as possible.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions regarding issues like this.
So I wanted to correct that.
But this meeting that was in a I guess it's the same meeting.
But when when we get something wrong, like we are the first to jump in there correctly, most people would do this at the end of the program and whisper it.
So nobody would hear it, but we do it here at the uh at the top.
The drive-by's folks are finally figuring out here that something's not right with Hillary Clinton.
It's the Republican side too.
It's amazing.
When the campaign gets to where the drive-by media lives, it's amazing how the coverage changes.
When the media has to go to foreign countries to report the news like South Carolina and Iowa and Wisconsin, there's a certain flavor to it that usually has as part of the coverage, you know, this is about the rest of you people, but it's not about us here in the media.
We're we're not affected by all of this that's happening here in these countries like Wisconsin and South Carolina.
Well, when it gets to New York, where they live, and of course the New York and Democrat primaries are in New York on April 19th, and the whole focus changes.
And when it comes to Hillary and Bernie, man oh man has this change.
Like the politico, a Jeff Greenfield story, what's wrong with Hillary?
I have the same kind of questions.
You know, Hillary Clinton is a former senator from New York.
She ought to have very tight, close relationships with New Yorkers.
Why is Hillary Clinton having to work so hard in her home state?
Why all of a sudden, when we get to New York, are the drive-bys all of a sudden taking Bernie seriously?
Bernie's been on a roll long before we got to New York.
But now that we're here, I mean that it's gotten so bad that drive-by's covered Hillary Clinton on a subway today like it was the moon landing.
I mean, was that unique?
It was that rare.
And they were so excited about it.
We have audio soundbites coming up.
Why does Hillary Clinton's husband spend so many nights away from home?
Why can't Hillary Clinton sell her own books.
Why do flocks of people not show up at Hillary Clinton book signings when there's an opportunity to meet the candidate without having to fork over 2700 to do it?
I mean, it's one thing if you're limiting the crowd by demanding people pay 2700 to your campaign to get in, but in a book signing when it's free, well, you might have to buy the book you're never going to read.
The sign of why can't she draw crowds?
Why will not Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren endorse Hillary Clinton?
We will figure all of this out in due course.
On the Republican side, this is funny.
You knew this was going to happen.
So here's here's Ted Cruz, he of New York values.
Fame, finally finds his uh himself in the state, and the anti-cruz New York forces are just marshaled.
They are loaded up and they're in gear, led off by the New York Daily News and the front page cover, hey Ted, take the FU train.
Subway train with a picture of Cruz and his wife.
Hey, Ted, take the and you've got all these phony protesters showing up at Cruise events, New Yorkers acting like their feelings were really hurt when they're not hurt.
New Yorkers are honored when you rip them.
I mean, New York is, I'll tell you New York is one of the most provincial big cities I have ever lived in.
And what I mean by that is this.
Not only New York is the center of the universe for people that live there, it's the most important part of the universe, not just the center.
And in fact, it's the only place in the world where things that happen actually matter.
And you would think that they're so big and so encompassing that everybody would know it.
They wouldn't have to constantly act that way.
But they do.
It's quaint.
It's it's cute.
I'll give you an example.
During the OJ trial, which you've been watching that on TV, by the way.
If you've been watching, I have.
You know, um, I was getting livid watching that show.
Reliving the OJ trial.
Because I realized I didn't see a lot of it because it was on at the same time as this program was.
The trial was every day that went on for a year.
And we had uh a no OJ none of the time policy here, because everybody was doing OJ, so we didn't.
And so there's a lot that I missed.
I mean, I got the crux of things.
But it was FX, and it was a, I think a 12 or 13 part, might have been 10-part series.
American crime story of the O.J. Simpson trial, and there were things that I didn't know about the defense warriors, the defense team, and how they did what they did, the jury scenes.
It just in fury, I literally sat there got mad watching this.
But anyway, the provincial at New York, here's the thing.
Marsha Clark was the prosecutor for the DA's office in Los Angeles.
And at the time it was going, Marcia Clark had once stopped on the New York through way at a rest area, and that made her a New Yorker.
So the Daily News or the Post, I forget, which did a story on Marcia Clark as though she's a New Yorker.
Of course, somebody involved in the OJ trial would have to be a New Yorker, which is what I mean by the provincialism.
So when the campaign shows up and here comes Ted, New York values, you've got people acting like they're really mad, like their feelings were really hurt, like Cruz has got to really have it handed to him.
And of course, it's all a game.
Well, for most people it's a game.
I think there are some dangerously deranged that show up in these anti-cruise protests.
But it is what it is, Ted.
No, I'm not trying, no, no, no.
This is insulting.
Well, no, no, no, no.
Snerdley, are you telling me that that the average ordinary New Yorker was really offended when Cruz's New York values?
Okay.
Well, I'm not trying, if if you're really offended, far be it for me to downplay being offended.
I don't have time.
I I I I just have I've never wanted to give anybody else that amount of power over to me.
Run around acclaiming, I'm offended.
I just got better things to do.
But I I'm trying to make a compliment here.
I'm saying that New Yorkers have much more to do than worry about what some guy from Texas is saying about them.
I mean this in a complimentary sense.
And I think there are a lot of them are acting protests out there who really aren't offended by it.
They've got better things to do.
I granted that there are, some people tightly wound.
Anyway, so Ted shows up in the Bronx, didn't go well, goes to upstate New York, where it's a little bit more comfortable.
Meanwhile, Trump goes out to Beth Page out on Long Island, which uh it it's it's kind of home to him.
Uh the Beth Page uh public golf course, Beth Page Black is one of the great golf courses, public course, it's tough as it can be.
And the media is talking about Trump's crowd, big crowd, but they really focus on the fact that there were 200 protesters when Trump comes home.
200, even though the crowd was over 10,000 and they had to turn people away.
And apparently the location of the Trump rally was where they had a location where they filmed a movie The Dictator.
And so the drive-bys are making a big deal out of the fact that Trump chose a place to do a public appearance where they had once filmed the movie The Dictator.
And they're trying to make a big deal out of it.
On the on the Clinton and Bernie side, Bernie is out questioning Hillary's qualifications to be president based on the fact that she voted for the Iraq war, and based on the fact that she's in bed with the Wall Street banks.
And Hillary doesn't know what to do about it.
Her only retort is that she wonders whether or not Bernie is even a Democrat.
And then Obama has entered the fray here.
Now, what do you all think of this?
Barack Obama has not said a word about the Democrat primary.
He hasn't uttered a word of support or criticism, condemnation for either one, for either Hillary or Bernie, but all of a sudden this week, he is all over the Republican primary.
And he's ripping Trump every chance he gets.
The Hill dot com Obama emerges as key anti-Trump messenger.
President Obama increasingly taking on Trump.
Obama, officially neutral on the Democrat side, is in prime position to advance his party's anti-Trump message.
Now does anybody really have any doubt what's going on here?
And we're back.
Ill Rushbone a cutting edge of societal evolution.
Now look, on this New York values thing, I've got people say, you really don't get this, you don't understand how offended people are.
No, no, I do.
I do I just I um I I'm kind of frustrated in this.
You know, I love New York, but I don't go there anymore because of the tax situation.
I've had a I've actually had a governor of New York celebrate the fact that I left and say that if I had left sooner they would have raised taxes sooner.
Or if they knew I was going to leave, they would have raised taxes sooner.
Every time I go back, I was back there on Tuesday night.
Um and it's like I still live there.
Everybody is just it's it's great.
It it's it's just it's frustrating.
And so I'm I know New York well, New Yorkers, well uh and and I know that a lot of people were offended by uh what Cruz said.
But I also know that there are New Yorkers who laugh at it, who who are not bent out of shape, and it doesn't define their day and ruin their lives or that those are the people that I was referring to.
Whether I'm not saying it's not a political liability for the guy.
Don't miss, I think of separating the two things out.
It was something cruise, probably if you could have backward take back, he wanted to say something about liberalism and tying it to specific people in New York while understandable to conservatives outside New York and offend.
I mean, you've got a you got a lot of right wing New Yorkers and truck drivers and hard-working people who don't want to be defined that way.
And I understand them uh resenting it, but but I'm also speaking up for those I know who are there to whom it's they laugh at it and so forth.
But whether it's a political liability or not is not, I mean, I'm not saying it isn't.
Um it's made to order the protests that Cruz is running into were guaranteed to happen.
And whether they're manufactured or genuine, it doesn't matter.
They look real on TV, which is uh is all that matters.
So there's that.
Now Obama continually now attacking Trump is designed to help Trump.
Back in a second.
Yeah, well, the thing about Hillary and the subway, and the reason that the media covered it like a moon landing is she didn't know what to do with a subway.
She botched getting on the subway, folks.
She didn't know how to swipe the fare card.
You saw it, didn't you?
She doesn't know how to swipe the fare card on the subway.
And of course, the media immediately starts covering for her.
If that had been George H. W. Bush in the supermarket scanner, which was made up anyway.
That was that was that technology that George H. W. Bush hadn't seen was not even released yet.
He was at a trade show where he saw that stuff.
He wasn't at a grocery store.
But here's Hillary, woman of the people, average ordinary Joe.
Hillary Clinton broke when she left the White House, no different than your average New Yorker, doesn't know how to get on a subway.
She botched it.
She didn't know how to swipe the fare card.
And so the media's there covering this, desperately trying to save her here, desperately trying to make her look good.
She botches it, and so they immediately go into CYA mode, trying to make sure that people watching didn't see what they saw.
Here, give me a little flavor of this.
And I want to get back to Obama ripping into Trump.
And I want to ask you what you really think of that.
Because there's a bunch of possibilities here.
By the way, Bernie botched it too.
Bernie didn't know how to get on a subway.
He thought they still used tokens.
You know, like they use in in in uh in Russia, Soviet Union.
So he thought they still used tokens.
He didn't know how to swipe fair card either.
So here you have the two primary Democrat candidates for president, claiming to be representatives of the little guy.
They're the guys that are going to look out for the little guy.
They're the guys who understand the plight of the little guy, which is a bunch of garbage.
They are the reason.
Their policies are the reason.
The little guy is constantly losing ground and falling behind.
You notice that practically every constituency supporting the Democrat Party except for two, is losing economic ground big time.
The two are Hollywood and Wall Street banks and associated industries.
Outside of those two groups, African Americans, the unemployment rate there's through the roof, illegal immigrants, Hispanics.
It's a, it's, it's it's a disaster what happens to people who rely on the Democrat Party.
So here we come.
We have the two standard bearers, the guys out there saying that they understand what life is like because of Republicans, obviously, for little guys, and they're gonna fix it, and not a one of them knows how to get on a subway car.
Here's uh just a little bit of an audio from uh from the video that happened on CNN.
They actually sent uh people out there with cameras and so forth to cover this event.
Hillary Clinton getting on the subway.
I mean, it really is the equivalent of covering the moon landing.
Carol Costello of CNN reporting.
I just want to explain what our viewers are looking at.
I think that Hillary Clinton's gonna ride the subway here.
They're inside the subway station in the Bronx.
Forgive me, I'm gonna look away from you guys because I want to watch this video.
Oh, is that Uma Abedin behind her, her right-hand woman for lack of a better term there?
And that's the Bureau president standing holding on to the um.
Yes, and also her traveling rail.
Isn't it amazing that we can get a live shot underground on the subway?
And the train is obviously moving.
Yes, isn't it amazing?
It's like we almost we got shots from the moon when the astronauts landed and took the first steps.
Isn't it amazing we get live shots underground on the subway?
You're watching Hillary Clinton get on the subway.
Oh, look, there's Huma Abedin right behind her, right hand woman.
Ha ha ha.
What do you call those things in a subway?
Also her traveling, the rail.
That's right, it's the rail.
She's oh, you gotta look out for the ra isn't it amazing.
Meanwhile, while this is going on, Hillary doesn't know how to swipe card, the fair card to get on the on the train.
Now back to Obama.
Obama emerges as key anti-Trump messenger.
It's in the Hill.com.
I can't tell you the number of people sent me this story mad about it.
They think it's typical.
Here comes Obama, nobody willing to criticize him.
He jumps in to the Republican campaign, starts criticizing Trump.
Trump fans really ticked off about this, not happy, wondering where is the Republican National Committee?
Where is the Republican Party pushing back, answering back, responding to Obama, saying, none of your business?
Keep your nose out of our business.
Where is the pushback?
There isn't any.
So here's the question.
Obama knows that Republicans disapprove highly of his job performance.
He knows this.
So when Obama comes out, starts ripping into Trump as unqualified, dangerously incompetent, uh, not prepared, and any of this.
Do you think maybe Obama is aware that he is solidifying support for Trump?
Amongst Trump supporters?
Do you think maybe Obama knows that what he's doing is actually helping Trump?
His criticism is actually helping Trump.
Trump can then say, look at who's a rating it, look who's scared of me.
Look who's worried about me.
Look who knows who's going to tear down his agenda.
Look who knows is going to be on the wall.
Look who knows is going to repeal Obamacare.
Trump can run around and say, Obama doesn't seem worried about Cruz.
I'm sorry, Lion Ted.
Obama doesn't seem worried about Kasich.
Obama's worried about me.
And he should be.
Trump can make hay out of this.
Obama has to know it's going to happen, right?
On the other hand, there might be some who think that Obama's ego is such that he doesn't look at it that way.
He really thinks.
And is really, really bothered by Trump.
And he does not want Trump to get anywhere near the White House and is just being honest as he can be about it and to hell with the fallout.
What do you think it is?
Which of these two explanations?
Do you think is the more accurate in defining or analyzing, explaining what Obama is doing by trying to warn Republicans away from Trump.
Keep this in mind, too.
Obama is establishment.
Obama is head honcho of the establishment.
Obama, as anybody in it would, would be very, very worried about somebody blowing it up.
I don't mean weapon line, just shaking it up to the point that it's blown apart, unrecognizable.
So it's six of one half dozen of the other.
Depends on what uh what you think about.
One thing we do know, it's not gonna hurt Trump with his supporters.
It's gonna make Trump supporters even prouder of Trump, in fact.
Because Obama is the big problem.
Obama is part of and a representative of the big problem.
So they're gonna think this is a huge score for Trump to get Obama's attention.
They can run around and say, hey, Obama's not worried about cruise, Obama nose crews are gonna not worried about Kasich.
Obama's not worried about Ryan.
Obama's not worried.
Who's Obama worried about Trump?
What does that tell you?
Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump's the guy.
That's what they'll say.
At uh some point, Trump might even jump in and say the same thing himself.
Some polling data here.
Twenty-five percent of Bernie Sanders voters say they will not vote for Bill or uh for Hillary Clinton.
You know, we see this on the Republican side all the time.
Every primary, we get the exit polls.
The drive-by's love to tell us how many Republicans say they're never voting Trump, no matter what.
And they put the number 25 or 30%.
And then they run on crediting these group called Never Trump's alt-right, what have you.
Never gonna vote for Trump.
They love to highlight that.
But now the same thing is happening on the Democrat side.
McClatchy knew is even if she eventually vanquishes Bernie.
What do you mean, even if she eventually?
You mean they're having some doubts about this now?
I think they are.
You've got Jeff Greenfield politico, what's wrong with Hillary?
She can't nail this down.
She's losing primary after primary.
If it weren't for the rigged game the Democrats have built for superdelegates, she would be in heap big trouble.
There isn't any momentum behind her.
There isn't any excitement attached to her.
All there is is the presumption that she's the nominee, and clearly a lot of Democrats are not satisfied with that, and many actively opposed to it.
And so here's McClatchy, even if she eventually vanquishes Bernie Sanders, even if just last week, she was a slam dunk, and all this was just for show.
Even if she eventually vanquishes Bernie, Hillary Clinton might have serious trouble winning over his voters.
Twenty-five percent of Sanders supporters say that they would not back Hillary Clinton in a general election if she's the nominee.
Only 69% say they would support her.
The numbers don't quite jive there, but it still adds up to trouble, as the situation exists today.
And then Bernie, having heard about this, oh Bernie's all enthused.
He is jazzed.
He's running around now saying she's not qualified.
This was last night in Philadelphia.
Crazy Bernie on Hillary.
She has been saying lately that she thinks that I am quote unquote not qualified to be president.
I don't believe that she is qualified.
I don't think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super pack.
I don't think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in Iraq.
I don't think you are qualified if you have supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement which has cost us millions of decent paying jobs.
I mean, this is off-book, folks.
This is the same guy in a debate late last year who said he wouldn't bring up Hillary's email server problem because it's not an issue, and he apologized to her for the fact that he was even in the news.
He made it plain he was a placeholder.
He made it plain he never thought he had a chance.
Now he's publicly saying she's not qualified.
Whatever the Democrats were scheming, whatever they had planned, this was not in the script.
I guarantee you for another Democrat to be running around talking how she's not qualified.
You know, I firmly believe that Bernie was in there from the head honcho viewpoint to show that Hillary can win a fight, that she had to struggle for it.
She had to overcome things.
She wasn't just programmed and a shoe-in.
This is getting out of hand now.
They're not able to control it.
There isn't unanimous support for Hillary Clinton.
There's a lot of opposition to her, and here comes Crazy Bernie, and he's exciting all these really screwball leftists, these extremists.
And he's hitting all the cliches and buttons, the superbeck.
A wreck in Wall Street.
That's enough to drive those people insane.
And they're doing it.
And now he's running around talking how she's not qualified.
Ooh, that's that's not supposed to be said by anybody on the Democrat side.
You're not supposed to go there.
He wasn't through.
We've got more when we come back after an obscene profit timeout.
Okay, after Crazy Bernie in Philadelphia listed Hillary Clinton's lack of qualifications to be president.
He was on the CBS Evening News.
And Nancy Cortis said, What do you say to the families of Sandy Hook who say that you should apologize for your for your position on all this?
Sandy Hook is a tragedy beyond comprehension.
But maybe Secretary Clinton might want to apologize to the families who lost their loved ones in Iraq.
Well, Secretary Clinton might want to apologize to the millions of workers in this country who lost their jobs because of the disastrous trade agreements that she supported.
Democrats are not supposed to be saying this.
They expected Republicans to run around saying this and they've got retorts, but for a Democrat, a beloved old codger Democrat to be running around saying this kind of thing, they have a problem.
This, you know, for all the talk about how the skids have been greased for Hillary.
I mean, perceptions count, and the perceptions that are being made and adding up here are not good.
They do not argue for inevitability.
They do not argue for electability.
And believe me, inevitability is the major thing Hillary has going for her.
Not her substance, not her experience, not her days on the job, not the fact she was first lady.
The inevitability of Hillary Clinton is the sailing point.
And if somebody gets in the way of the inevitability by successfully claiming what do you mean inevitable?
She's not even qualified.
Then they've got problems they didn't anticipate.
Not that they can't deal with it, don't misunderstand, but this was not in the cards.
I grabbed the phones quickly here.
Mark in Orlando, it's great to have you.
You are first today.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you very much, sir.
I appreciate you taking my phone call.
Yes, sir.
Yes, uh, I would just like to praise you, if I may.
Um I think that your handling of the Cruz and Trump situation has just been magnificent.
I think you've been getting a lot of negative feedback, which truth be told, just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
I mean, I think that we all understand you're the grandfather of conservatism.
We all understand that Trump is not 100% conservative.
I'm a Trumpster, a Trumpist, whatever you call it.
Um I absolutely identify with Trump on a personal level.
I have no idea why.
It's just for some reason.
I think I myself, along with millions of other people, just connect with him on a very personal level.
Um we believe that when he's speaking, he's speaking to us, and he's not speaking on a global scale.
Say what you mean is the fact that you know he's not a conservative, and that doesn't bother you that much, as that's what you're saying.
Well, I think that there's more at stake than just pure conservatism.
I mean, I think that we are in the process of losing our country, and it's just um as much as I love what Ted Cruz stands for, I just don't think that he really gets what is actually going on here.
Because this is a this is deeper than Donald Trump.
I mean, this is this is something that is almost spiritual in a way.
You know, now that's an interesting observation, and by the way, I want to thank you.
This I'm not trying to offend anybody, but Mark here is the first caller that we've had who's actually nailed it.
He says, you know what?
You're not saying critical things of either.
And that's why everybody's mad at you.
And his point is I'm not whatever else, I'm not the one damaging either one of these people.
Because I really one of them's gonna be the nominee.
And a real enemy is Hillary Clinton.
But you just said that you don't think Ted Cruz understands instinctively the degree to which we are in crisis, not like Trump does.
And I want to tell you something, Mark, he does.
What you have put your finger on is communication reality.
Uh Trump comes off as the guy you're sitting next to at a ballgame or the bar or on the couch watching TV.
And Cruz sometimes sounds like somebody you're listening to, not talking with.
And it it sometimes is off-putting.
But Cruz gets it every bit as much as you do.
Do not doubt me.
Back.
