Reichhhh Knows the Democrats Are in Big Trouble"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: A story that I ran into at Breitbart yesterday. Actually, it\u2019s an opinion piece by Robert B. Reichhhh, and the headline is, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/video\/2017\/02\/26\/robert-reich-the-democratic-party-has-not-been-in-this-bad-shape-since-the-1920s\/\">Robert Reich: &#8216;The Democratic Party Has Not Been in This Bad Shape Since the 1920s.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Actually, this is not an op-ed. Robert B. Reichhhh was on, I guess, This Week on ABC, and that\u2019s where he said, &#8220;[T]he Democratic Party has not been in this bad shape since the 1920s. Right now, <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-223317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-27-at-2.19.20-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-27-at-2.19.20-PM.png 342w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-27-at-2.19.20-PM-300x246.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/>there is a disconnect, George [Stephanopoulos], between a rather sclerotic Democratic apparatus which is in complete disarray. I mean, the Democratic Party has not been in this bad shape since the 1920s&#8230;&#8221; He\u2019s talking about power as defined by seats, electoral seats held. They are in bad, bad shape.<\/p>\n<p>They really are. They hold fewer seats today than in the 1920s. That\u2019s the last time it was this bad. It\u2019s a situation, a position they\u2019re unaccustomed to. This has been brought on by &#8220;a huge uprising at the grassroots&#8221; among a specific group of people the Democrat Party told to go pound sand: White, working-class voters Democrats. Barack Obama, specifically, is the architect of this decline, and one of the primary elements was an electoral campaign decision to abandon the white working-class traditional Democrat voter in favor of a giant &#8212; they thought giant &#8212; coalition of every minority group on the face of the earth.<\/p>\n<p>They have been reading a demographic shift in numbers, and they thought as soon as this election, last November, would be the election where the voting power represented by white, working-class Americans, white middle-class Americans would finally be dominated.&#8221; And they were wrong, and they were wrong big time. So now Robert B. Reich is on TV warning them about it, and he was asked how Tom Perez &#8212; more on this guy &#8212; the new chairman of the Democrat National Committee&#8230; Did you hear what Trump said?<\/p>\n<p>Trump said they rigged the election again at the Democrat National Committee. They rigged it again. Bernie\u2019s guy never had a chance. Bernie\u2019s guy is Keith Ellison. I really wanted that babe&#8230; What\u2019s her name? I wanted the woman who promised that, if she were the new chairman, that she\u2019d never, ever utter anything to white people ever again. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/01\/24\/dnc-chair-frontrunner-my-job-is-to-shut-up-white-people\/\">Sally Boynton Brown<\/a>. That\u2019s who we were pulling for. I guess our influence in the Democrat Party\u2019s not what it once was, \u2019cause that\u2019s who we were pulling for.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LDOdcsh435Q\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It was not an ongoing, steady campaign, but I certainly endorsed her two or three times. But it came down to this Perez guy. This Perez guy is a former secretary of labor. He is a dyed-in-the-wool, militant progressive activist, and he\u2019s now running the Democrat National Committee. &#8220;How can Tom Perez&#8230;? Can he actually utilize that, turn the Democratic Party from a vast fundraising machine into a movement? Hasn\u2019t been done before very easily. You remember in the Vietnam War days, we had a huge uprising.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the Democratic Party had nothing to do with that. The thing that worries me most of all, if you look at the problems inside the Democratic Party, they have a lot to do with the same sort of populist uprising we\u2019re seeing across the country, including the Donald Trump campaign.&#8221; I\u2019m gonna tell \u2019em what happened. You know what&#8230;? And I have no worries. These people are not gonna pay attention to what I say. They may hear it, they might even process it and think about it, but they will automatically reject it because it comes from me.<\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t worry. I\u2019m not gonna tell \u2019em the way out of their mess. I\u2019m gonna tell \u2019em why they\u2019re in it. They will not be able to chart the way out. They\u2019re digging a deeper hole for themselves even as we sit here. I know it doesn\u2019t look like this in the media. In the media, it looks like the left wing is winning and dominating and Trump\u2019s over here whimpering and barely hanging on &#8212; and, folks, it\u2019s the exact opposite of that. Donald Trump is roaring.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is moving at full speed with his side of the equation. He\u2019s trying to bring the Republicans in Congress along. He had a huge meeting last night, a party last night with the governors, and a speech to the governors this morning. He then had meetings with CEOs from the insurance companies. They are praising Trump for already stepping in to help stabilize the market. This business of the governors and Obamacare, it\u2019s gonna be a little bit more problematic than Trump thinks, but I don\u2019t doubt he\u2019ll have a way to deal with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They hold fewer seats today than in the 1920s.
