RUSH:  What\u2019s that?  No, no, no.  No doubt in my mind.  No, no.  The Jill Stein recount is Hillary Clinton.  It\u2019s the Clinton campaign.  The people bought and paid for to disrupt Trump\u2019s rallies, the Clinton campaign.  Why is Jill Stein not recounting votes for her?  She\u2019s a Green Party candidate and she\u2019s concerned with the vote totals for Hillary?  There\u2019s no question Hillary\u2019s behind this.  There\u2019s no question the Democrats are behind it.  <\/p>\n

And look, folks, there\u2019s no question either that they have a dream.  The dream would be upsetting Trump and having some magic happen so that he doesn\u2019t win the Electoral College and that Hillary does.  That\u2019s just way, way out there, nothing more than a pipe dream.  What they\u2019re really in the process of doing is delegitimizing everything about Trump, delegitimizing the election and his upcoming administration.  That\u2019s exactly what they\u2019re doing.  That\u2019s all they know.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they did after Bush in Florida in 2000.  The only thing they know how to do after they lose an election, pure and simple, because they didn\u2019t lose. Even though they have been repudiated totally, even though they have been sent packing, their agenda, the Barack Obama agenda has been totally repudiated, Big Government.  This was an ideological election.  Big Government was sent packing.  Administrative, big, in-the-way government was sent packing, but they can\u2019t admit that, and they will not admit that to themselves.  <\/p>\n

They lost because Trump\u2019s a liar. They lost because the voters are stupid. They lost because whatever reason they want to concoct, but it\u2019s not because of them or their policies.  And the way they will march forward is to do everything they can to delegitimize the results of the election and what comes from it. So the election itself gets delegitimized, i.e., with the recount.  They can change Trump\u2019s electoral count, that would give them a leg up in what they could claim is an illegitimate election, and then his administration and to say that he\u2019s not got the mandate to do anything that he\u2019s doing.  “This is not what the people voted for. The people didn\u2019t vote for this,” and that\u2019s all they\u2019ve got in their arsenal now.  <\/p>\n

Proof of that is that they leave in leadership positions Nancy Pelosi and they\u2019re gonna go out and get this guy Ellison to be the head of the Democrat National Committee?  I mean these people are in a time warp locked and loaded 30, 40 years ago with a playbook that has not been updated since then.  They\u2019ve got nothing. It is amazing what one election has demonstrated.  And what has been demonstrated is the gigantic illusion we were all living.  <\/p>\n

The illusion was that the Democrats and all of their corrupt cultural rot had become the majority of thinking in this country and that we and our values, our cultural inclinations and desires and our political desires, that had become the minority, that we were losing the country as founded, that the people of this country no longer wanted the America that was founded.  That was the illusion and we\u2019ve lived it for eight years.  <\/p>\n

How many people called here asking me, “Rush, is it time to panic?  Have we lost the country?”  That was the illusion that was created.  The power of the media, coupled with the racial component of a president making any legitimate criticism of him impossible, paralyzed.  The illusion continued.  We were losing the country, were at our wits\u2019 end about it, it was panic time for many, many people and it turns out the Democrat Party and what they believe is not representative of a majority of thought in this country and really wasn\u2019t even close to it.  <\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/a>Now, I know some you, “But, Rush, the popular vote, you can\u2019t say this, you\u2019ve gotta be honest.”  I can say this.  The popular vote, Hillary\u2019s advantage in the popular vote comes from California, and California is not America.  I\u2019m talking attitudinally, talking politically, California, they\u2019re talking about recession, I mean, these people are kooks out there.  But California as it exists politically is not in stride with the bulk of the United States.   <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying they should secede or anything. Don\u2019t infer things I\u2019m not saying here, but a case can be made, we were living an illusion.  And this election, one election, it was actually three, but we didn\u2019t see it.  Well, that\u2019s not true, we saw it, it didn\u2019t register.  We saw all the seats the Democrats lost in 2010: 900.  We saw all the seats they lost in 2012.  Obama wins the presidency, but they lost more seats, in the House, in the Senate, governorships.  In 2014 they lost again.  They\u2019re down 15, 1,600 seats, if you go down to the level of mayor.  <\/p>\n

And then in this election, they lose big.  So it\u2019s actually 2010, \u201912, \u201914, 16, it\u2019s four elections.  So it\u2019s been happening right in front of our face.  But because Obama and the media appeared to be running the country, it didn\u2019t seem to matter that we were.  And couple that with the fact that our party didn\u2019t even act like an opposition party, we were living an illusion.  And it took one election to expose it.  <\/p>\n

Well, the Democrats now know that the illusion is up.  And they have become delusional in refusing to admit it.  And the evidence of that is they stick with Pelosi. You know what the average age — now, this is, to me, a relevant point because the Democrat Party, if you look at people who claim to be Democrats, they\u2019re young, they are hip, they\u2019re Hollywood types, they\u2019re Silicon Valley types, they\u2019re techies, many in the performing arts, you know, all of the pop culture aspects that appear to define our national culture, they\u2019re all Democrats.  And they\u2019re mostly Millennials, maybe Gen Y.  And yet the average age of Democrat leadership in the House and Senate is 76 years old.  The average age.  It\u2019s Jurassic Park, folks.  <\/p>\n

The Democrat Party with all these young hipsters out there have as its leaders Jurassic Park dinosaurs.  And what interests me about that is that all these young hipsters who constantly run around and talk about how old and tired and fuddy-duddy Republicans are, are being led by a bunch of old, tired fuddy-duddy get-off-my-lawn types.  I think it\u2019s fascinating what this election has exposed.  It\u2019s one of the Bill Gates teachable moments in my life.  <\/p>\n

You stop and think of the contrast.  Going into the election, how many of you — be honest — how many of you thought this was it. Hillary wins, they got the Supreme Court, what\u2019s gonna be the point?  What\u2019s going to be the point?  They\u2019re gonna continue to muck up the schools. They\u2019re gonna own the academy. They\u2019re gonna own books, movies, TV shows. They\u2019re gonna continue their assault on religion. Hillary\u2019s gonna be president and everything she believes is cockamamie out 180 degrees out of phase, it\u2019s over.  You\u2019re figuring it\u2019s over for 25 years with the Supreme Court appointments alone that she\u2019s gonna get, not to mention the judges that they already have at various federal, district court levels.  <\/p>\n

\"original\"Be honest.  How many of you thought this was it?  I mean, the U.S. as we knew it, Obama\u2019s transformation was unstoppable.  On Election Day.  Now, I know many of you today will tell me, “I knew he was gonna win, Rush. I could see it out there. I saw those crowds.”  Yeah, I agree, I was one who thought Trump — I said back in March or April of this year that I could foresee a Trump big win, landslide.  But, let\u2019s face it, most people were scared to death and were praying.  That\u2019s how desperate it was.  <\/line><\/p>\n

And here comes the election.  And what does the election expose?  It exposes that every cockamamie thing we fear could have happened if they had won.  But one election where they lose exposes just how delicately balanced was their position.  They were actually in a fragile state, the left was.  It turns out that their loss, their defeat in this election, is something that\u2019s going to give them problems like it would have been ours for years and years and years.  This is not a one-off where they\u2019ll get it back in the next midterms and the next presidential.  They\u2019ve got too much to regroup.  They\u2019ve got too many seats to rewin.  They\u2019ve got too much ground to pick up.  <\/p>\n

Because it wasn\u2019t just this election that exposed how they have been governing against the will of the people.  It\u2019s the last four elections.  And I\u2019m including even the Obama presidential elections, \u2019cause his vote totals were based on him and him alone.  But his party, he never had coattails, not to speak of.  And they didn\u2019t think Trump did, but he ended up having them.  <\/p>\n

So to me it is an amazing illustration of the delusion we were living and how precariously perched the Democrats have been all this time.  Contrary to being entrenched and unmovable and a climbing, expanding, dominating power, they weren\u2019t that.  That was just the illusion.  And losing, as I say, a bunch of elections, but this presidential election was the tipping point and just demonstrated the dire straits they were actually in.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
