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

RUSH:  Yesterday on this program, we had Mike Pence, the vice presidential running mate for Donald Trump.  And we talked to him about the fact that one of the points the Drive-Bys were making about his debate performance… Remember everybody raved about it. “It was great! Oh, it was so good. He was better than Trump. He made Trump mad,” they said.  Trump was said to be unhappy that Pence did so well \u2019cause it meant that Trump had to work harder and that he was outshined and so forth. <\/p>\n

And then they started speculating why Pence didn\u2019t really fire back on some of the insults that Kaine was throwing out about Trump.  And they said… We had this media montage yesterday, all of these people. I\u2019m sure this came from the Hillary campaign. They put out this word that everybody in the Drive-By was saying, “Yeah, well, Pence was setting himself up for his own presidential run in 2020.  That\u2019s what Pence was doing! Pence knows that it\u2019s a lost cause.  Pence knows that Trump\u2019s already lost the thing. <\/p>\n

“Pence knows that Trump\u2019s not gonna win this! He\u2019s setting himself up for 2020!” They all were saying this, and so I said, “Where does this come from?  Did all of these Drive-By reporters just independently come up with that theory?”  No way.  I\u2019m telling you, it came from the Hillary campaign.  The Hillary campaign issues talking points because the media is nothing more than the Hillary campaign.  The media is just a bunch of Democrat Party hacks disguised as journalists, for the most part.  So, the Hillary campaign puts out talking points:<\/line><\/p>\n

“Hey, Pence is obviously setting himself up for 2020.”  We had a montage. At least 10 of these reporters said it.  Why would Hillary put it out?  Well, put it out there that Pence already knows this is over, that Hillary\u2019s a lock for 2016, that he\u2019s already looking for his own fortunes in the year 2020, and that\u2019s what they did.  So on this program, we interviewed Pence. We laughed about it. We joked about it. You heard it if you were listening here.  In fact, grab sound bite number two.  We\u2019ll play this first because this is the portion of the interview yesterday I conducted with Pence, and I want you to hear what they do with this.<\/p>\n

So here is the relevant portion of the interview…<\/a><\/p>\n

BEGIN AUDIO EXCERPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the third thing they\u2019re saying.  The third thing they\u2019re saying is you actually weren\u2019t trying to help Trump last night.  You already know Hillary\u2019s gonna win so you were doing everything you did for 2020, Governor.<\/p>\n

PENCE: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your 2020 campaign began last night. That\u2019s what they\u2019re saying in the Drive-By Media, Governor.<\/p>\n
