Thank you for waiting. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you. Rush, I wanted to explain something that makes me very sad about Trump being accused of all this stuff with the Russians and stealing the election. Donald Trump in the campaign did something that was very American. He identified what he needed to do, which is win certain states that nobody said he could, and then he did what you\u2019ve been speaking about; he competed. He went to three, four, and sometimes five rallies a day for two months, and he wins because he outworked his opponent. And the sad thing about all this is this reminds me of what Obama said, and this is what I\u2019m hearing now. &#8220;You didn\u2019t build that. Mr. Trump, you didn\u2019t win that election. The Russians won that election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-235515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpCrowdsC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpCrowdsC.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpCrowdsC-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>RUSH: Hm-hm.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8220;Your hard work didn\u2019t have anything to do with it,&#8221; is what I\u2019m beginning to feel. And it\u2019s really sad, because he was an example of what\u2019s great about America. A 70-year-old person doing something with no ground game, didn\u2019t waste money on TV ads. He went and outworked his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By far. He kept a pace that she is not capable of even in peacetime. You know, you have a good point. We all remember certain things about the campaign. I remember Trump on two different occasions &#8212; this is really what heartened me. I mean, I was all-in for Trump when I finally figured out that he was the only person left that could beat Hillary, which to me was the objective. I would have supported anybody who was gonna beat her. This was all about stopping the left. I made that clear from the beginning of the primaries.<\/p>\n<p>I noted what you saw. Trump\u2019s outworking everybody and he\u2019s indefatigable. He\u2019s got seemingly boundless and endless energy. He\u2019s improvising everywhere. He doesn\u2019t have a script, a couple teleprompter appearances. And he\u2019s connecting. Every moment of every rally he\u2019s connecting with everybody watching, both in the arena and watching on television. And when he started talking about the people that he would put in his cabinet, sometimes he would name people as potential cabinet nominees. Other times he wouldn\u2019t. But I\u2019ll never forget these two times. And I\u2019m sure he said it more than the two times I heard it.<\/p>\n<p>But he looked into the camera, he looked out in the audience, and he said, &#8220;We are going to work so hard for you. We are going to work so hard for this country.&#8221; I believe that he meant it. Because he was, as you just said, he was already working hard for this quest. And I took that to mean that he was serious in showing up in Washington and turning it upside down and cleaning it out, draining the swamp, what have you, and putting people side by side who were going to do the same thing in an indefatigable, can\u2019t-stop-us way.<\/p>\n<p>And I think that\u2019s what he did. But he\u2019s run into the roadblocks in the House and the Senate comprised of members of both parties. That\u2019s what he\u2019s got to figure out how to deal with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  He looked into the camera, he looked out in the audience, and he said, &quot;We are going to work so hard for you.
