RUSH: Well, maybe. It\u2019s one of those things you look back with everything we know now and we see how popular Bernie was, and it might have mattered. It might have made that Democrat ticket a little bit more unified, and mollified the anger that the Bernie Sanders people felt when they learned that his whole campaign was a joke because he\u2019s been cheated and they had engaged in fraud.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Because then again, they might not have been happy with him as number two on the ticket. I don\u2019t think they were ever going to get rid of their anger at Hillary no matter what she did. But I don\u2019t think it matters \u2019cause you know what? I\u2019m gonna shock the world. I think Donald Trump won the presidency the day he descended the escalator at Trump Tower.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Very good.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I do! I do. And I really had this reinforced for me, \u2019cause The Politico\u2019s running a piece… Is it The Politico? Politico, somebody\u2019s running a… Yeah, The Politico has gone back and looked at all the statements made by elitist experts over how Trump had no prayer, and one guy said Trump lost this the first sentence he uttered. And I think it\u2019s the exact opposite. I think Trump hit \u2019em in the face the first day and they never recovered. Now, I\u2019m near out of time. You get your choice of an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. Which one do you want?<\/p>\n
RUSH: What\u2019s your carrier?<\/p>\n CALLER: AT&T. It\u2019s my wife\u2019s carrier. It\u2019s gonna be a Christmas gift for her. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n RUSH: Oh, what color does she want?<\/p>\n CALLER: Gloss black, if available.<\/p>\n RUSH: Got it. Got it. Now, would you like the phone that Rachel from Baltimore didn\u2019t take? Would you like two?<\/p>\n CALLER: Wow! That is awesome, Rush!<\/p>\n RUSH: Okay, tell Mr. Snerdley what it is \u2019cause I\u2019m out of time. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Here Mike in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Great to have you with us, sir. How are you doing? CALLER: Hey, I\u2019m doing great, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. I actually took it a little easy on Mr. Snerdley.
