Let\u2019s leave it at that. It\u2019s a great way to end it, and I\u2019ve got a clock problem, too, see.&nbsp; Do I understand you&#8230;? Yes or no: You think he should not attend the next two debates?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; That\u2019s correct.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp;&nbsp; He has no benefit to gain from it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128225\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trump-Flag.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH:&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp; All right.&nbsp; We\u2019ll leave it at that.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We just had Ron from Shreveport, Louisiana.&nbsp; Do you know who\u2019s famous from Shreveport, Louisiana?&nbsp; Two people come to mind; there\u2019s many more, but two people come to mind that are famous from Shreveport Louisiana:&nbsp; Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw and Hal Sutton of the PGA Tour.&nbsp; Well, he\u2019s now probably on the champions tour.&nbsp; Hal Sutton\u2019s from Shreveport.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s another, he looks male model.&nbsp; David &#8212; he was also from Shreveport, professional golfer, good too, I can\u2019t think of his last name, mental block.&nbsp; I once went, I did a &#8212; in fact, Bradshaw had to cancel.&nbsp; They had some kind of a fundraiser every year for their foundation.&nbsp; I think it was to build a children\u2019s hospital, is what it was.&nbsp; Bradshaw was due to speak and he couldn\u2019t make it, and they called me at the last minute. &#8220;Could you come down and do it?&#8221; and I did it, and I met Sutton at that thing and David Toms. David Toms is his last name.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which reminds me, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rydercup.com\/\">Ryder Cup<\/a> starts tomorrow, and Davis Love III is the captain.&nbsp; My mother had friends in North Carolina. After I\u2019d left home, I was in Pittsburgh and Kansas City, and a friend of hers from our hometown in Missouri had moved there, and one of her friends had met Davis Love III\u2019s mother.&nbsp; And my mom knew Davis Love III\u2019s mother, and I never knew any of this until I met Davis Love III.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">I saw him one year at Augusta at the Masters, and that\u2019s when he was walking by, I think 14, he came over to the ropes and said hi, and that\u2019s when I learned that my mom knew his mom. His mom was also in the ropes. His mom was walking the gallery and I met her.&nbsp; That\u2019s what it was.&nbsp; <\/line><img id=\"eZObject_128226\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/611023920_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">That\u2019s what it was.&nbsp; I mean, he\u2019s a great, great guy and he\u2019s the captain of the team, and it kicks off at Chaska, Minnesota.&nbsp; You know where Chaska, Minnesota is?&nbsp; It\u2019s outside Minneapolis, the golf course is Hazeltine, and it\u2019s tough, it\u2019s a tough course.&nbsp;<\/line>\n<p>It\u2019s start tomorrow I think at 8:30 or nine o\u2019clock on the Golf Channel. (interruption) Oh, Danny Willett, the guy that won the Masters, he\u2019s a partier. And he\u2019s got a brother who is an even bigger partier.&nbsp; His brother just went off on slothful Americans, not the players, but fans. The way we talk about bloggers is the way he described &#8212; well, not bloggers, but the common pajama clad crew.&nbsp; He just went after \u2019em.&nbsp; Danny Willett\u2019s brother just went after American golf fans, a bunch of fat slobs that sit around eating Cheetos and Doritos all day yelling at their computers while wearing their pajamas, thinking they can do everything when they can\u2019t do anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And Darren Clarke, the Brit captain, had to say how embarrassed he was and how he wasn\u2019t gonna put up with that, and he sent Danny Willett to talk to his brother about it.&nbsp; Yeah.&nbsp; Yeah.&nbsp; You didn\u2019t think I knew about that, did you, when you brought that up?&nbsp; Anyway, so the Ryder Cup starts tomorrow.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, back to Ron in Shreveport, Louisiana.&nbsp; He said that he thinks Trump should just bag these next two debates, just blow \u2019em off.&nbsp; There\u2019s no point.&nbsp; There\u2019s nothing to gain by showing up at these things.&nbsp; The deck is stacked no matter who the moderators are, the deck is gonna be stacked, there\u2019s no way Trump can really win.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t have to, is his point.&nbsp; If Trump just forgets the debates, there are gonna be people applauding him left and right for doing so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He could stay on the campaign trail and just do a rally after rally after rally with media coverage of that and build his base out the wazoo and control every event he goes to rather than go to a debate where he surrenders control and, by definition, is constantly is on the defensive.&nbsp; Screw that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So my mind was working overtime in the break, because it jogged a memory in one of the deep, dark crevices of my fertile mind.&nbsp; Do you remember Trump bagging the debate in Iowa before the Hawkeye Cauci?&nbsp; Trump bagged it in lieu of &#8212; because Megyn Kelly I think was gonna be the moderator. Yeah, I think it was something to do with the moderators.&nbsp; That\u2019s right.&nbsp; Because Fox was holding out hope that Trump would change his mind. There were high level negotiations going on all day and Trump finally said, &#8220;Screw it, I\u2019m gonna do a personal appearance and salute the military,&#8221; which he did.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He won the Hawkeye Cauci, didn\u2019t he?&nbsp; He won the Hawkeye Cauci by blowing off the cauci debate, or did he lose the Hawkeye Cauci?&nbsp; Did Cruz win the Hawkeye Cauci?&nbsp; I thought I had this down pat.&nbsp; Now I\u2019m not sure.&nbsp; The only primary Trump won in the early days &#8212; I\u2019m told it was the Hawkeye Cauci that he won, but I\u2019m not so sure of that.&nbsp; But, anyway, it didn\u2019t hurt him.&nbsp; The bottom line is by bagging the Hawkeye Cauci and the debate leading up to it, he didn\u2019t hurt himself, and the theory here from Ron in Shreveport is that there\u2019s no downside.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s imagine, let\u2019s say Trump &#8212; and they\u2019ve announced that he\u2019s going to do it.&nbsp; No, I\u2019m sorry.&nbsp; He lost the Hawkeye Cauci.&nbsp; The only primary that Trump lost in the early days of the primaries was the Hawkeye Cauci, which happened after he skipped the debate.&nbsp; That\u2019s what I remember.&nbsp; He didn\u2019t do the debate, and he lost the Hawkeye Cauci.&nbsp; Remember the media was saying, these people in Iowa, they don\u2019t like it when you disrespect them that way.&nbsp; Trump said it wasn\u2019t important enough for them to learn about him personally.&nbsp; He didn\u2019t go to the debate.&nbsp; And so people in Iowa didn\u2019t vote for him in the caucus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t win the Hawkeye Cauci, so that would be an argument for not skipping the debate because &#8212; (interruption) yeah, I know he didn\u2019t have a ground team in Iowa.&nbsp; Doesn\u2019t have much of a ground team now.&nbsp; What are you snickering at?&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t have a ground operation.&nbsp; Why is that controversial?&nbsp; I\u2019m not even being critical.&nbsp; How many Trump campaign headquarters offices are there?&nbsp; There aren\u2019t that many.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t have many.&nbsp; I think he\u2019s got one in Florida.&nbsp; He\u2019s running an unconventional campaign.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128227\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/TrumpIowa012616-B.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">Anyway, so he didn\u2019t do the Hawkeye Cauci, he skipped that debate. He lost the Hawkeye Cauci, so could you extrapolate from that that if he doesn\u2019t do these debates it could be harmful?&nbsp; You know what the media\u2019s gonna do. &nbsp;By the way, folks, you should know, I have a couple here of truly in-the-tank Trumpsters, Trumpists, and they don\u2019t think Trump should ever appear with anybody in the media.&nbsp; And they think Trump ought to bag this debate and the next debate and any forum that\u2019s anything like a debate where Hillary Clinton is there, because they think there\u2019s absolutely nothing to gain, because the deck is constantly stacked.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Trump is, by definition, gonna be on the defense. They hate the media. They don\u2019t think there\u2019s an any possibility Trump could get a fair shake, shouldn\u2019t do it, waste of time, can actually help himself more by bagging these and continuing to stay on his exhaustive campaign schedule.&nbsp; Now, if he bagged the debate and by the way, they\u2019re announcing he\u2019s going to be there, because this has come up.&nbsp; They\u2019re announcing, his team\u2019s announced he\u2019s gonna be there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just say he cancels it. Do you&#8230;? Can you imagine what\u2019s gonna be done with that?&nbsp; They would drop Alicia Machado like the hot tamale she is, and they would veer into, &#8220;Trump\u2019s a coward! What\u2019s he afraid of? He\u2019s admitting that Hillary skunked him in the first debate,&#8221; and they would do everything they could to say that Trump is admitting he can\u2019t even stay even with her.&nbsp; And you don\u2019t think that would hurt?&nbsp; You don\u2019t think what the media would do with Trump canceling his appearance in the debate&#8230;?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t think that the accompanying media firestorm over this would hurt him? (interruption) &#8220;Depends on how he explains it.&#8221; Doesn\u2019t matter what he says why.&nbsp; If he goes out and says, &#8220;I\u2019m not doing the debate because I have learned how rigged it is. I have learned it\u2019s not productive, I have learned I am not gonna be able to get my points across because I\u2019m gonna be interrupted by moderators and distracted and talk about things that don\u2019t matter. I can do a better job staying focused, if I stay on my own campaign trail.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128229\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/480430986_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">No matter what he says &#8212; if he says that &#8212; the media\u2019s gonna translate it for people as meaning that Trump is afraid.&nbsp; So my question to you: &#8220;Do you think Trump could survive and prosper with a never ending media narrative that Trump is a coward?&#8221;&nbsp; &#8216;Cause that\u2019s what it would be.&nbsp; That would be the narrative.&nbsp; That would be the spin.&nbsp; There wouldn\u2019t be anything else.&nbsp; They would take what Trump says and they would accuse him of lying, of making it up, of making excuses.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Then they would hunt down people close to Trump in the campaign who would say, &#8220;Yeah, he just&#8230; After that first debate, he knows he\u2019s not gonna get a fair shake, and he just doesn\u2019t want to put up with it anymore,&#8221; and they\u2019re gonna translate that as cowardice.&nbsp; You think he should bag the debate, give a great reason, and you think the great reason will be reported fairly and honestly by the media with a degree of understanding? It won\u2019t be the case.&nbsp; What if Hillary canceled the debates because of her health, what do you think would happen?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(interruption) Okay.&nbsp; Right.&nbsp; She\u2019s lose the election.&nbsp; But you don\u2019t think Trump would be hurt by quitting the debates?&nbsp; You don\u2019t think Trump will be harmed at all? (interruption)&nbsp; I know our people hate the media. But are there enough people who hate the media who will vote for Trump because of that?&nbsp; I mean, you\u2019re basically saying if you think Trump should quit, that a vast majority of or a simple majority of the American voters would applaud \u2019cause they hate the media?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128228\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/481587372_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">And if you think that there are enough those people who would applaud Trump and vote for Trump for doing that, then I can understand your thinking, but I don\u2019t think I agree with your thinking.&nbsp; (interruption) Uh-huh. (interruption)&nbsp; Yes, the media ranks lower in trust and yet people still watch them and quote them every damn day.&nbsp; &#8220;You see what I saw in the New York Times? Did you see what I saw&nbsp; on the NBC Nightly News? Did you see what I saw&#8230;?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They might say they disrespect them but they quote them left and right and they send out news stories that are published on these websites, if it is interesting to them one way or the other.&nbsp; So you better think really hard about that.&nbsp; I know it\u2019s an unconventional campaign. That\u2019d be a very unconventional thing to do, and I can understand the thinking that it might resonate with a lot of people, but would it resonate positively with enough?&nbsp; I don\u2019t see that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Look, folks, let me just put something to bed here real quick.&nbsp; Donald Trump is not going to bag the next debate for one reason:&nbsp; The media has proclaimed him the loser.&nbsp; He is not going to pull out of this debate with the Drive-Bys saying he\u2019s a loser.&nbsp; He\u2019s too competitive.&nbsp; If he had won the first debate, maybe. Maybe.&nbsp; That would be pulling out as a winner, and he could easily say, &#8220;Look, it was so bad, I don\u2019t think Hillary has any hope.&nbsp; I don\u2019t want to humiliate her anymore.&#8221;&nbsp; But you can\u2019t do that \u2019cause Drive-Bys are out saying he lost the debate.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, interestingly enough, the left-leaning polling unit known as Public Policy Polling actually asked respondents this question in their latest poll.&nbsp; The question is this:&nbsp; &#8220;Do you think Donald Trump should participate in the remaining debates for president this fall or not?&#8221; Seventy-six percent of the respondents in the Public Policy Polling poll say Trump should participate.&nbsp; Seventy-six percent say should.&nbsp; Seventeen percent say that Trump should not, and 7% were not sure.&nbsp; Now, you have to ask yourself something.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why in the hell was Public Policy Polling asking their respondents this question?&nbsp; Where does this come from?&nbsp; You have to admit, this is a weird question.&nbsp; I\u2019ll tell you where it\u2019s coming from.&nbsp; These people think that it was so bad for Trump, they think Hillary should&#8230; Actually, what they think is that Trump was horrible.&nbsp; They think Trump was embarrassingly bad.&nbsp; They don\u2019t think that Hillary was that good.&nbsp; They really think &#8212; these people on the left, in the media, they think &#8212; Trump was an abomination.&nbsp; They think was embarrassing, was unprepared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128243\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trump-Rally-1.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">He didn\u2019t take it seriously, and we let down his supporters in that regard, so they\u2019re out and say, &#8220;Do you think he just maybe shouldn\u2019t even do any more of these?&nbsp; He was so bad!&#8221; That\u2019s the underlying, unstated tone attached to the poll question: Did Trump do so badly that he shouldn\u2019t even participate in the remaining two debates?&nbsp; That\u2019s why they asked the question.&nbsp; That\u2019s my opinion on this, and 76% of their respondents said that Trump should.&nbsp; I went back and I got this <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mcclatchydc.com\/news\/politics-government\/election\/article104380351.html\">McClatchy story<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s &#8220;Presidential Debate: Clinton Wins Polls But Loses Votes in Swing State of North Carolina,&#8221; and this is the focus group that McClatchy put together to watch the debate.&nbsp; And everybody agreed that Clinton won the debate, but all of these people, these independents and the focus group said didn\u2019t matter, they\u2019re voting for Trump.&nbsp; &#8220;Kae Roberts and Jay Eardly were leaning toward Hillary Clinton before Monday night\u2019s debate.&nbsp; By the end, they had both pulled away.&nbsp; John Kokos and Hank Federal were undecided going in, potential Clinton backers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By the end, they\u2019d ruled her out.&nbsp; Indeed, while polls found that Clinton had won the first general-election debate with [the Trumpster] on Monday, she may not have won actual votes.
