\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

RUSH:  Okay.  We\u2019ll start on the phones in Glastonbury, Connecticut.  Mike, great to have you, sir, on the EIB Network.  Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Hey, Rush, great to talk to you again.  Mega dittos from Hillary\u2019s basket of deplorables.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  I\u2019m just calling to touch on the point you made earlier about when the Drive-Bys see Trump on the defensive, we see him attacking.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yeah, exactly.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Yeah.  I agree with that, but I also think we feel like we\u2019re being directly attacked by Hillary when she goes low at Trump.  You know, when she makes snarky remarks like Donald Trump lives in his own reality and flat-out calling him racist or how about that phony smile she was putting on all night.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH:  That is an excellent point, by the way, and I think this is worth making as well.  Hillary is not attacking Trump alone.  When she goes after Trump in these “deplorable” ways, she is, by definition, attacking everybody that supports Trump, and that\u2019s millions of people.  Look, her negatives and her unpopularity and her dislikability numbers are sky-high.  This woman is not adored, universally or otherwise.  She is highly suspected, and she is not respected in any way, shape, manner, or form. <\/p>\n

And so these insults that she throws out are directed at Trump\u2019s supporters.  There is a way, if she wanted to attack Trump and exempt his supporters, she could do that, but she doesn\u2019t because she means to.  She has already said that half of Trump\u2019s supporters go in the basket of deplorables.  And the other half of Trump\u2019s supporters just too stupid to know any better.  The government has left them behind, the government this, but they\u2019re just too stupid to know how much the government\u2019s actually trying to help \u2019em and so forth. <\/p>\n

I mean, what she said I think is much, much more condescending and insulting than anything Romney said with that 47% remark of his.  But it\u2019s for this reason — and again, I\u2019m gonna make this point \u2019cause I think it\u2019s crucial to understand.  One of the first early themes of the postdebate analysis last night was, “My God, did you see how Trump was on defensive the whole time?  My God, did you see what Hillary did?  Hillary turned the tables totally.  Hillary was offense, and Trump, Trump the big braggart, Trump was on defense.”  And Trump\u2019s supporters see Trump attacking when others see him on defense. <\/p>\n

He may be attacking from a defensive position, but he\u2019s attacking.  He doesn\u2019t just roll over like Republicans have tended to do for many of the recent past years.  He fights back, chews back, claws back, what have you, defending himself, his supporters, what have you.  And there\u2019s a whole slew of Republican voters who haven\u2019t had anybody fight back for themselves or their voters in a long time.  So it\u2019s not the negative the Drive-Bys think it is. <\/line><\/p>\n

It is interesting to watch them analyze this stuff.  “Yeah, Trump lost a point here when he –” that\u2019s not how people watch this.  What do you mean, Trump lost a point?  What, did Trump lose a supporter because he didn\u2019t mention something that was a hanging curveball that Hillary sent him?  It\u2019s not the way people score and watch these things.  Anyway, I appreciate the call very much. <\/p>\n

This is Kevin in St. Louis.  Great to have you with us, sir.  Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Thanks for taking my call.  I thought Donald Trump did great last night considering that he\u2019s never had a one-on-one debate like that before.  You know, he defended himself.  He answered the questions. He had thoughtful answers on solutions he was gonna give and I really thought he did great.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Versus Hillary, who has a political lifetime of experience at this?<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Yeah.  I mean, she\u2019s an actress, basically. She does these referrals, memorizes what she\u2019s gonna say.  She doesn\u2019t have any solutions.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Well, that\u2019s the point of my 30-year note.  What solutions?  All she\u2019s got is the same list of complaints and problems for 30 years. <\/p>\n

CALLER:  Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  But it\u2019s interesting.  You want to cut Trump some slack and maybe give him some credit because here he entered a business that he has no experience in, he did something for the first time last night that nobody\u2019s done in a long time and held his own, and you think that\u2019s a big deal?<\/p>\n
