My first is, is Paul Ryan absolutely stupid with his knee-jerk reaction to an 11-year-old statement that Trump said and just kicks him under the bus? It\u2019s so frustrating that you watch Democrats circle the wagons around the most heinous things some Democrats have done, and immediately Paul Ryan just, boom! Kicks him under the bus.&nbsp; It\u2019s just frustrating.&nbsp; It then creates, really, a lot more hoopla in a way than shouldn\u2019t have caused.&nbsp; It\u2019s an 11-year-old statement; the man apologized for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128799\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HillaryClintonCrime-Family-B.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">You know, when I thought about it I started to remember all of those stories of Vernon Jordan and Bill Clinton on the golf course years ago, first term of Clinton, and all of a sudden things that were reported and recorded between Clinton and Jordan!

There\u2019s a lot of different reasons why they hate Trump, and it\u2019s a myriad, and they all have their different things.&nbsp; He\u2019s an outside; they\u2019re an insider.&nbsp; I think there are some RINOs who like the TPP and a lot of the kind of globalist things.&nbsp; There\u2019s money to be made there, and then there are some Republicans who a little bit more have the national concern first.&nbsp; But this is the kind of stuff that Paul Ryan did that\u2019s gotten Trump in the race.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; What this is exposing, Gretchen, is it\u2019s exposing that all of these years of Republican fundraising on the premise that they want to beat Democrats?
