Time Text
Yeah, I saw that.
So people asked me, did you see that Huma walked a rope line with Hillary after a speech?
Not Bill.
It was Huma.
It's like Huma was the spouse.
Where was Bill?
He was working a crowd.
He was there on the other side of the line.
I didn't, I didn't say I just saw I okay.
I didn't some of my observers didn't observe it right.
But I did see Huma got a standing O when she came out.
Huma got a Well, a Democrat, they know.
They know what's going on.
They know that Huma swallowed one for the team there on the FBI thing.
Greetings and welcome back, folks.
8282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
I got an email during the break.
Rush, what do you mean in two weeks the left the Democrats will revert the media to who they are?
Okay, let me give you an example.
Back in 2002, when the Republicans won the midterms, it never happens.
Party in power always loses midterm elections.
People just naturally human nature express their unhappiness for the first two years of a presidency.
It just happens, and the party out of power usually picks up seats.
Doesn't take back the chamber, but they just pick up seats.
Well, that didn't happen in 2002.
I mean, the Democrats just blew it sky high.
And so after that election, the exit poll showed that it was value-based voters that made the difference.
Democrats came out and said, you know, we're obviously missing a lot of people here.
We need to get together and have some meetings amongst ourselves and get uh get on the same page, American people when it comes to values.
And it still hadn't happened.
They just went out and said, gives another example.
What just happened?
Let's keep this in perspective.
We just had in figurative terms, a landslide election.
What I mean by that is that the people that showed up and voted yesterday were very clear in what they were rejecting and what they were supporting.
Okay.
So Trump gets inaugurated, and it's not going to be long before he fills a vacancy on the Supreme Court.
In fact, he's going to have a whole bunch of them, folks.
This is great.
He's going to have a slew of them.
This election, I think, is going to speed the process of vacancies occurring on the Supreme Court, but that's just a little side bet that I'll make with people that I will not lose.
But here's what's going to happen.
He's going to whoever he appoints, unless, unless he goes out and finds Ruth Bader Ginsburg Jr.
If it let's place it.
He nominates somebody in the image of Anton Scalia.
Let me tell you what's going to happen.
Chuck Schumer, who will be the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, and whoever the leader of the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee is, will immediately call a press conference and say that the nominee is unacceptable, that he's too far outside the mainstream, that we can't put up with this.
We can't tolerate this.
And they will begin to smear this nominee and smear Trump, who has just won the election.
Trump has will have one big.
The Republicans will have maintained the House.
They have held on to the Senate.
The American people, I don't care what you want to say about the electoral college, that's going to be the second thing they complain about.
Just give me a give me a moment to get there.
But I'm giving this example.
Despite the fact that the American voter voted explicitly and in huge numbers to keep this government in the control of the Republican Party because they don't like what the Democrats have done the last eight years.
That is exactly what happened.
There is no other way to read this.
The Democrats will try to tell you it's a racial election, that all whites are bigots, and they rose up in opposition to people.
That bull, folks, that is not what happened here.
This is a substance-based loss for the Obama administration, the Obama agenda.
So despite that, the Democrats will say that whoever Trump nominates is out of the mainstream is unacceptable, and it's not what the American people intended when they elected Trump.
And the media will pick that up.
The media will then begin to help the Democrats smear this nominee on the basis that he's not qualified because Trump chose him.
He's not qualified because Trump's nominee does Not reflect the mainstream of America.
Really?
They get to define the mainstream when they lose?
That's exactly what they do, my friends.
They're not going to learn from this.
They're not going to change to adapt to what the American people want, the American people express.
They will continue in their natural existence, and that is opposed to the will of the American people.
That is the Democrat Party of today.
They govern against the will of the people when they're elected.
I'm talking about the mass population.
Sure, they've got their constituency groups that love what they do.
But as evidenced by this election last night, they're a minority.
We've not lost the country to them or to anybody else.
So you can look for that and other things like it.
You've got cabinet appointments, uh legislation that Trump proposes.
You're going to hear Democrats react to it as though this is not what you voted for.
Yeah, you will have voted Trump and you'll have voted all these Republicans, and then when the Republicans and Trump start doing what you elected them to do, the Democrats will run out and say, that's not what you elected them to do.
You elected them to continue what the Democrats would have done.
And that's the position that they will take on a nominee or on a piece of legislation.
Well, what Obamacare?
What was your question about Obamacare?
Did you hear what Trump said he's going to convene a special meeting or whatever session in the first hundred days to blow it up and rebuild it?
What will the Democrats do?
They will say that's not what this election was about.
That this is the greatest.
Obama's going to be right in there too.
You think Obama's going to hang around and watch all this happen and not say anything.
Don't forget what I told you about the reason Obama's going to stay in Washington in his post-presidency.
I predicted it to you.
I'm making a bunch of predictions today.
They're going to come true.
Just mark them.
Whatever they try on Obamacare, Obama's gonna say, he's gonna call a press conference, his buddies in the media, the people, you know, these poodles that have been humping his leg in the media, and they're gonna join forces against Trump and say this is not what the election meant, this is not what the American people wanted, can't have this, cannot allow this to happen.
It'll be a battle begin, and it'll it'll boil down to Obama, maybe not Obama, I don't know.
But the Democrats certainly saying this is not what the American people wanted in the election.
And the reason, folks, they don't give up.
Their purpose for living is to beat us.
We are their number one enemy, and even when they lose, that remains their objective.
I've watched them, I've studied them.
I know who they are, I know what's gonna happen.
What needs to happen on our side is what needs to be different.
We need to stop kowtowing to it.
We need to look them in the face and laugh, say, you know, the corner of the room is over there.
You guys lost, learn it, love it, live it, and leave us alone.
We're in the process of fixing the mess you made.
We don't ever say that.
We talk about crossing the aisle, we talk about considering opposing views, because we're of the opinion the American people don't like us.
Because the media is told that Republicans are people don't like them, and the Republicans have believed it.
Republicans cannot believe what happened.
Never Trumpers cannot believe what happened because they've all believed all this propaganda all these years, the American people hate them.
If the American people don't like the Republicans, it's not for the reasons the Republicans think.
It's for the simple reason the Republicans have not followed through in opposing this stuff.
You couldn't have, look, I hate to be redundant here, folks.
You couldn't have a more clearly defined reason for the Democrats losing yesterday and the Republicans winning than what we got.
And God bless everybody involved for making it happen.
It couldn't be any more crystal clear.
There's nothing ambiguous about this at all.
Big government liberalism, whether people know it or not, was told to go to hell.
Big government liberalism is Obama.
It was rejected, whether whether it was positioned that way, well, I'm sure Trump didn't run around and say we're gonna beat liberalism.
All well and good.
Doesn't matter what you label it, it is what it is, and it just got rejected.
It just got shellacked.
It's not hard, and it's easy to learn from.
It is my studied opinion that this victory that Trump had last night has been Possible in each of the last two presidential elections.
The lesson for the GOP, the lesson for the never Trumpers, the lesson for all the defeatists, the lesson for all the establishment types who think there's no way you can ever run the establishment if you're a Republican.
There's no way you can ever really gain enough power to change the direction of the country if you're a Republican.
The lesson is this victory last night could have been had in 2012.
And that's why the American people are livid after 2012.
It could have been had in 2008.
It just turns out that McCain didn't think so, and neither did Romney.
And neither did very many others in the Republican Party.
And that's why we're out here sitting so frustrated because we know it could be defeated.
We know they could have been sent packing.
We know Obama could have been defeated.
On substance, if somebody would have just been honest with the voters about who he was and what he was going to do.
Because it was knowable.
We knew what he was going to do with the health care system.
We knew what he was going to do with spending.
We knew what he was going to do with taxes.
We knew what he was going to do policy-wise to the economy.
But they didn't.
Didn't want to go there.
First African American president can't criticize.
That would be racist, can't do it.
So we basically stood away, stood silent for eight years and let them run the table.
And the American people said no more last night.
It couldn't be any clearer.
It could not be any more clear about what happened.
And I want I don't know that it's necessary, but I'm not going to take any chances, so I'm going to do this one more time.
Oh.
I need to offer a mayak culpa.
Yesterday on this program, I was informed by two different people that George W. Bush and his wife had voted for Hillary Clinton.
So I ran with it.
Now I didn't make a big deal of it.
I actually mentioned it when I had a caller.
And it it came up as the answer to a question.
I answered a question the caller had and explained how the establishment works.
You know, why would somebody vote for Hillary?
Why would a Republican?
And I gave my explanation about members of the establishment stick together.
So I got home yesterday, got an email from somebody in George W. Bush's off actually an instant message saying, uh, don't know who told you this, but he didn't.
And Laura didn't vote for Hillary.
They didn't vote for either.
They didn't vote for Hillary, and they didn't vote for for uh Trump.
Didn't tell me who they voted for.
I said, I'm sorry, I'm terribly sorry about this, and I said, I'm correct this instantly here on my website, and I call Coco at the website, we got it corrected.
Um so I wanted to make sure I mentioned that for anybody lingering and heard it.
Uh I did not, I was not critical of President Bush.
I further went and said I could understand it, given some of the things that were said about him and 9-11 and his brother Jeb.
To me, it would have made total sense.
There was no criticism of President Bush.
I just took the occasion to explain why to people who might not understand it, but it turns out it didn't happen.
So I wanted to correct that.
Um I've got a let me take a break.
I'm I'm I want to have a little bit more time on the other side of the break than a limited amount of time.
We'll get started with the phone calls and audio sound bites.
Um, but I I'm one more time on this Van Jones whitelish comment.
This is classic, the way I am purposely taken out of context and the way I get misreported.
So I'm gonna say this one more time, as crystal clear as I can.
Oh, before we go to the break, in addition to this example I gave about how they're going to approach Trump's first SCOTUS nominee.
Here's something else that you can make book on.
It is going to happen.
The left, the Democrats are going to start caterwalling about the electoral college and that it has to go.
It may not happen today, but it's going to happen.
Because it looks like Hillary barely won the popular vote, and that's because of the state of California and the state of New York.
But Trump won the electoral college.
But this whole thing is a great illustration of the brilliance of the founding fathers, by the way, and the system they devised to make things equal around the country just in in terms of representation and proportionalism, regardless population centers.
And that's what the electoral college is for.
It also served another back in the early days.
It was it was to guard against uh a bunch of idiot citizens not knowing what they were doing, say, and and electing Putin.
I could throw that in.
But it it works out famously well.
Trump has now won Michigan.
He is padding his margin in the Electoral College.
It's not close.
It doesn't come anywhere near Florida in 2000.
But the left does not accept that the founders of this country gave us a republic of sovereign states.
And they are going to they're they're gonna make a move to eliminate the Electoral College because of this, is they're going to pr present this as they've been screwed again, like in 2000.
And the reason they're gonna do this, don't listen to Hillary saying we've got to give Obama we gotta give Trump an open mind.
We owe it to Trump to work with him.
Obama's saying the same thing.
Folks, they don't mean this.
Please listen to me.
This happens every time they lose.
They do not mean it.
They sound magnanimous, but they're not.
They are seething with rage, and they're already plotting how they can delegitimize this Trump victory, and this is the way they're gonna do it by claiming he's illegitimate.
The popular vote, Hillary Clinton won.
We get screwed again.
And they're gonna make a move to get rid of the Electoral College, not because they want to get rid of the Electoral College, although they might, it's because it's a vehicle for them to try to portray the Trump victory as illegitimate, just like they did to George Bush in 2000.
And you see how that worked out.
By George Bush's second term, they had everybody in the country believing he was illegitimate.
And his wars were illegitimate.
And Abu Ghrab was illegitimate, we were torturing people.
And we invaded Iraq because they wanted to get even with Hussein for trying to kill his dad.
All this stupid stuff.
But they took this country down the sewer, taking George Bush out.
It took them four years to get his approval number down to the 30s, and they're gonna start on Donald Trump in about two weeks.
They will intensify it after he is inaugurated.
This is going to be one of the ways they do it.
Do not doubt me.
This hasn't even begun yet.
Just stick with me and don't doubt me.
Let me grab a phone call, get started with that, and remind you, I'm gonna one more time explain my reaction to Van Jones and CNN claiming that this election yesterday was a whitelash.
And he means racial, as opposed to backlash.
It's a white lash.
And what he means is that every white person thinks alike, and that they're all bigots and racists, and finally have had enough, and they fought back against people of color.
That's what he means, and I want to nuke that to Kingdom Come.
I've done it twice.
It's a kind of thing the left takes me out of context on and runs big headlines, try to portray me as something I'm not, so I'm gonna explain it a third time in mere moments.
But first we're gonna go to Coronado, California, start with Bob.
It's great to have you, sir.
What's up and how are you?
Hey, good.
Thanks, Rush.
And uh Trey Gaudi for Supreme Court Dittoes.
Um, hey, you you really have a unique next level thinking ability and combined with your sense of humor.
I mean, it's it's a real gift.
And I I wanted to ask you a question because I'd like to see how you would maybe turn this around on the never Trumpers.
Yeah, we're getting ready to throw the final shovels of dirt on the never Trumpers' grave.
Their goal was 100% to stop Trump and make Hillary the next president.
But my question for you is after after all they did, what George Will and Romney and uh W and all the Never Trumpers, is it possible that they in fact help fuel the Trump movement?
And should in fact should Donald Trump actually thank them, because perhaps his win wasn't possible without the Look, you you you may be right with the first thing you said.
I think the never Trumpers may indeed have helped fuel and keep energized Trump support.
Uh I I think that kind of uh motivation is is frequent and and uh it very likely wouldn't be the sole reason they were motivated.
I think I think the things they really care about, they could they really care about.
Uh and and Trump, they were not going to let anything happen to Trump.
Because Trump was the way to advance what they want.
They were didn't care what Trump says, they don't care what anything Trump did in his past, wasn't about Trump.
It was about saving this country for their kids and their future, and they weren't gonna let anybody take Trump out the way Republicans are taken out.
And if the never Trumpers joined the chorus of people trying to take Trump out, they might, I'm sure they probably got even more energized and more committed to Trump.
But in in terms of of what was the other thing you said, should Trump reach out to them?
Did you say in a way, should he poke him in the eye on the way out of the door?
And basically thank them.
No, no, let me tell you there's an analogy here.
There's an analogy here, although it's not quite perfect, but 1980 is a bit of analogy.
The Republican establishment did not like Ronald Reagan.
They were disgusted by Reagan because they didn't like conservatives, and they thought Reagan was a dunce and didn't know what he was doing, and was risky.
But they all wanted to shine in his light once he was inaugurated.
Now I've got I'm gonna thank you and hang up, but the story continues on the other based on things I saw last night, so don't go away.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Now remember, the experts got most everything wrong last night.
Sticking with the question from the caller Bob in Coronado, California.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan was told after he won that he's got to make overtures to the Rockefeller Republicans.
That was the 1980s version of the establishment.
And Reagan, for the most part, said, nah, why you guys tried to beat me?
Why should I go out of my way?
And then he did.
He he brought some people in from the so-called Rockefeller side, including George W uh George H. W. Bush, and some might even say James Baker.
Look, the the the point here is last night Dana Perino on Fox, a Bushy, she was the White House press secretary following the death of Tony Snow.
And by the way, she was at one of the chorus of people on Fox last night, and it was Legion.
During the period of time where they thought Trump was losing in a landslide.
See, Trump was never losing in a landslide last night, folks.
They just hadn't counted the votes yet.
Trump was never losing in a landslide, and he didn't mount a comeback after 7 p.m.
Trump won the election during the day yesterday and during the early voting and absentees.
There was no comeback last night.
All there was was counting the ballots.
Trump had not lost in a landslide after 7 o'clock.
Trump had won.
We just didn't know it until about three o'clock in the morning.
But during the period of time when they were reporting that Trump was losing in a landslide, you know why?
It was these, it was these establishing Republican types who have been telling us for minimum four years and maybe eight that we can't win without the Hispanic vote.
Well, we did, didn't we?
We blew that to Smitharines, didn't we?
Trump got a little bit better at the Hispanic vote than Romney did, but not significantly.
This is not a criticism of Hispanics.
Please don't misunderstand me here, folks.
I'm I I'm I'm this is not complicated.
You had people in the Republican established and the Democrat side who were dead wrong about what we have to do to win the presidency.
And one of the many things that they said we had to do was reach out to Hispanics, And what they meant by that was stand for amnesty.
We had to become open borders.
We had to grant citizenship to the illegal aliens in the country.
If we didn't do that, we were never ever going to win.
And last night during the coverage, when they were reporting that Trump was losing in a landslide, when he never was losing in a landslide, they kept citing that as the reason.
They'd go to Florida, they'd go to North Carolina, they'd go to other states where they said they had all kinds of data on all the brand new Hispanic voters.
Massive Hispanic turnout in the early vote in the absentees.
And it was the reason Trump was losing in a landslide.
Trump was never losing in a landslide.
And therefore, the reason they gave Hispanics was never real.
And this is the kind of stuff that passes for learned analysis and news.
None of that was real.
In fact, the prognostications they have been making about we can't win unless we do this, and by other things besides get the Hispanic vote, that's just been the biggie for eight years.
Can't win without the Hispanic vote.
As I mentioned at the top of the program, I've had candidate after candidate come to me, see me in this office and tell me, Rush, we don't have votes anymore.
We can't win with Republican votes alone.
We just can't do it.
We have to reach out, Democrats and their issues.
And I've been I you it's just been frustrating as it can be to sit here and listen to them say this.
Because what I've been listening to is people tell me how they can't win.
Their party can't win.
They want to lead a party that they in their own minds doesn't think and win.
And I said, what in the name of Sam Hill is this?
So this vaunted need for the Hispanic, but look, I'm not opposed.
Don't misunderstand.
If if Hispanics wanted to turn around support us in droves, that would be wonderful.
That's not the point.
The point is the experts telling us we were going to lose were wrong again.
And they were wrong about why.
The pollsters got everything wrong.
They couldn't have been more wrong.
The LA Times poll was right, and the IDB tip poll was right, and the Trafalgar poll was right.
Three of them were right, and all these other votes blow up desmithereens, and they're asking themselves today, what did they miss?
What did they do wrong?
And there are many of them saying the polling industry is worth zilch today because of this.
They didn't take the time to leave their bubbles and actually learn who Trump voters were.
They did nothing but impugn them.
They laughed at them.
They made fun of them.
They didn't believe that they represented big numbers when they showed up for Trump rallies.
They had their bigoted prejudice in mind about people that would vote for Trump, and they just constantly forgot them and cast them aside.
Mm-hmm.
Well, uh, I'll explain that.
Snerdly's asking about Nate Silver stuff.
As a computer program that was changing with input data.
With data Nate Silver was not sitting there with his slide rule and calculus.
They've got they've got an algorithm, and as as election returns come in mixed with polling data, it would automatically change what his projected percentages were.
New York Times had the same thing.
Excellent point.
By the way, you can look at the New York Times projection page last night and their graph, and you can look at 7 o'clock, Hillary was a 94% chance to win.
Based on what?
At 7 o'clock, nobody knew anything because no votes had been counted.
That's why it said Trump would a major comeback.
There was no comeback.
He won.
I'm sorry to get so frustrated by this, but this is just common sense.
So all these computer programs rating somebody's percentage chance to win.
How do you go at 7 o'clock with Hillary and 80 or 85% chance to midnight Trump 97% chance and have any credibility?
You realize how worthless your website or projection was at 7 o'clock with Hillary and an 85% chance.
Based on what?
They hadn't even counted any votes.
It was all exit polls and other interviews then.
Anyway, to close the loop on this story, after hearing throughout this period that Trump was losing in a landslide, when he never was, because he didn't have the Hispanic vote, because the Republican Party hadn't reasoned, because Trump had offended them on all this rig-emorole rasmatas.
At the end of the night, they were all saying something along the line.
Well, except Carl Rove wasn't, but Dana Perino and some others were saying, I'm sure that uh uh members of the uh previous Bush administrations would be happy uh to join the Trump administration and be happy to help uh Mr. Trump.
I'm watching this.
I said, What?
Of course they would now.
The light's gonna be bright.
Everybody's a winner now, of course they went on one in on it now, but I'd keep this at arm's length, because folks, I'm gonna tell you something.
And I'm not trying to be negative today because I'm feeling great.
I'm just warning you.
I have learned, I followed this stuff all of my life, and I can tell you what's going to happen.
I can tell you what's gonna happen when Trump nominates judge for the court as I just did.
I can tell you how they're gonna try to delegitimize his election and presidency with this electoral college business.
The establishment of both parties.
Do you think they're just gonna go away?
You think they're gonna say, wow, the American people really like this guy.
I guess we'd better change the banks are gonna change the way they think about things.
Do you think Wall Street's gonna change the way it thinks about things?
It ain't gonna happen.
What's gonna happen is the establishment is the establishment, and they're gonna do everything they can to undermine Trump's presidency.
They're out there saying the right things today, being magnanimous, gotta work with Trump, give Trump a chance, all that, get that on the record.
They'll go through the transition and they'll make it look like they're trying to help even get some people with really great experience and resumes to get on Trump's team, help him out here.
But the purpose, the objective from the get-go is to be delegitimize his president or to subordinate it to undermine it, to take it over.
You know, get some establishment types in the cabinet, get some establishment types in the regulatory agencies, and just they are who they are, and they are the power in their minds.
This election doesn't change ballots of power.
This election doesn't change who really runs the world.
Not in their minds.
They don't just say, okay, you guys won, we lost, and then slink away to wherever they live in the Hamptons or Davos and come back in four years and try to win it back.
That's not who they are.
This is going to be this is this is power for all the marbles, and it's an ongoing battle.
It never takes a day off.
Because it's all about money, folks.
It's about who is in charge of it, who gets to spend it.
By that I mean who gets to buy what they want, in terms of people and policy.
It's all about money and access to it and power over it.
And at the margins, getting rich personally, too, if you can manage that and all this, that's a little bonus.
I think on the cake.
They're just as mad at Trump today, maybe more so, as they were yesterday.
Their shock and disbelief is not going to transmogrify into admiration and respect and a desire to be part of the Trump team.
There may be some of them, but I would be wary of Trojan horses.
I know who these people are.
If not the people, I know how the I know how these kind of clubs work.
So just my two cents, but as I always say, don't doubt me.
Our last caller from Coronado referenced the humor that he has come to love, expect, and appreciate on this program.
And in that vein, ladies and gentlemen, our cameras and microphones were behind the scenes at the Clinton campaign last night.
We're going to go back to the archives, listen a couple of sound bites of me from this program.
First, on the day Trump announced, we're going to go back June 16, 2015.
This is the day that will live forever.
Donald Trump and the wife Melania traveling down the escalator at Trump Tower to deliver a speech announcing his candidacy that everybody in the media laughed at.
What did I say?
This is going to resonate with a lot of people.
I guarantee you.
And the drive-byers are going to poo-poo it, they're gonna relegate it to the carnival characteristics of a campaign, and so but it's gonna resonate.
Right, and it did.
And now May 4th of this year.
And I must say, for those of you new to the program, I spent much time in the campaign explaining to people who didn't understand it why Trump had such support.
I explained the people who supported Trump.
I explained the reasons those people supported Trump.
I defined why that connection was so deep and solid.
I pointed out to anybody who would listen.
How they were not going to be able to talk people out of supporting Trump.
That they were not going to be able to use the techniques of usual in politics.
Coming up with dirt about somebody's past and blabbing it out over the media and causing them to resign.
That's not going to happen.
The only person that can damage Trump is Trump, I said.
I gave detailed explanations of the performers' ego that Trump has, how he established a connection for all the braggadocia that there was at least 30 seconds in every appearance where Donald Trump told his supporters he loved them, and he was honored by them, and he appreciated them, and they heard him.
They knew he was genuine, they knew he was being honest with them, and they were loyal in return.
And I went, I practically lost my voice telling people that during all this period of time I'm being reamed for betraying conservatism.
I'm being raked across the calls for betraying conservatism.
The objective of this program has been to defeat the left.
I mean, aside from the broadcast requirements I have for success, you know, maintaining an audience, holding it, growing it, church confiscatory advertising rates, all that, but the substance in the content portion of the program has always been about defeating the left.
I've always thought conservatism is the best way to do it, but what do you do when there isn't conservatism?
And there wasn't.
Conservatism didn't win the primary, so what do we do?
I was accused of betraying conservatism, even though I endorsed no one.
So I'd spent all this time trying to explain to people who Trump was and trying to help them.
Drive by is anywhere else, trying to figure out you're missing this.
If you think you can take Trump out like you take out your average Republican, you're not going to be able to do it.
And May 4th, when Trump won the nomination, I made a little prediction, May 4th of this year.
My instinctive feeling right now is that Trump is going to win, beat Hillary badly, that it could be landslide proportions.
I still don't think people understand why Trump won this.
I don't think they understand at all the reason people support Trump.
And the deeper people are entrenched in politics, and the more they are accustomed to the templates and the handbooks and the theories and the playbooks, the less they're going to understand it.
The more they try to plug Donald Trump and his campaign and his personality into the professional politician candidate playbook that they use, the farther and farther from the truth they are going to get.
I've I've tried to help during the course of this entire campaign.
I've gone to great lengths to try to explain to people what it is about Trump, why he has his supporters, why they support him, and what you'd have to do to separate them from Trump.
Basically, you can't.
That's the bottom line.
And they tried.
The never Trumpers tried for a while.
The media didn't give up trying.
The Democrats tried.
Obama tried.
Hey, you know what?
He's official candidate, KKK, through everything they had.
They didn't know what to do if somebody was not a professional politician.
Their formulas, their systems, their playbooks don't accommodate for somebody that does not have a political resume.
That does not live their lives as a phony politician trying to hide their real lives from everybody.
Trump lived his real life.
Didn't hide it from anybody.
It was refreshing.
It's just one of the many reasons why.
He has this legion of support, and they're still never going to understand it.

We've had people patiently waiting who want to weigh in on this.
So I'm probably going to blow up the programming format, take some calls in the monologue segment next hour, just alerting the staff to be paying attention when they normally don't.
And we will be back in a second.
