CALLER: Oh, no.<\/p>\nRUSH: Here is Andy in Alpharetta, Georgia, welcome, great to have you with us. What\u2019s happening, what\u2019s up, what\u2019s shaking?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Mega 6th district dittos, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Very well, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, it\u2019s a glorious day in America today.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It is. If you live in Georgia-6, yeah, glorious day.<\/p>\n
CALLER: If you live anywhere, this just slam-dunked the whole argument the Democrats are trying to make.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute. Wait a second, here, Andy. Are you telling me you don\u2019t feel like you lost because you only won by six?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, not at all. Slam dunk.<\/p>\n
RUSH: ‘Cause you\u2019re supposed to be very worried you won only by six. That doesn\u2019t bode well.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, no.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The Democrats are clearly on a roll here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019ll tell you what worries me, Rush. What worries me is when we get some of our, quote, unquote, conservative announcers that we have here in the local market talking about how we\u2019re gonna lose 15% of Republicans. They\u2019re gonna sway the other way to make a statement against Trump. That\u2019s what\u2019s worrisome.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait. Hey, hold it, hold it a second. I have an email from somebody in Georgia-6 that told me the same, and I think that came from a WSB poll; is that right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n
RUSH: But who did you get mad at for reporting that?<\/p>\n
CALLER: WSB and Erick Erickson, who I think has guest hosted on your program before?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Erick has guest hosted, yeah, but look, that\u2019s what the polling data said. Look, the person who lives in Georgia-6 is a nationally famous meteorologist. I cannot give you his name because he has never given me permission to. But he was worried, he saw that poll, he said every Democrat voting for Ossoff and 15% of Republicans were gonna vote for Ossoff.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And I wrote him back. I said, “Nameless weather guy, it isn\u2019t gonna happen. That\u2019s not gonna happen. That poll is not right,” and it turned out to be not right, didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: You\u2019re always right, Rush, and more so, you confirm what we already believe anyhow. So we know in our hearts that Karen was gonna take us to the finish line.<\/p>\n
RUSH: There you go.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And you just confirmed what we already know.<\/p>\n
RUSH: There you go.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH. So that\u2019s why it\u2019s a glorious day, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad that you\u2019re experiencing that. Now, it says up here that you are a parent, one of the ticked-off parents. Democrats are coming after your kids to try to poll \u2019em or get money. Is that true?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Georgia-Vote.jpg\")
CALLER: That is true, Rush. I have a beautiful, smart, conservative daughter going to the University of Georgia, and she had a lot of friends on campus that actually voted for Hillary.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. Of course.<\/p>\n
CALLER: But in this runoff election with Karen Handel, she had herself and all of her friends who went for Karen but yet I collected the daily mail out of the mailbox and every day we had the mail from the opponent and it would get sorted, put in the trash very promptly without her knowing it. And I would get the robo-calls to her attention, but yet to my phone number, so those would get dispatched as well.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Did you connect them with their daughter or not?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, yeah, they even asked to speak to her.<\/p>\n
RUSH: See, the news story was — and, by the way, I\u2019ll mention this again because it\u2019s been about an hour, 20 minutes since I mentioned this. One of the Democrats doing the postmortem of the election said that the biggest problem they had — well, one of the biggest problems that the Democrats had was they could not independently reach Millennial voters in Georgia-6 because so many are still living with their parents. And they couldn\u2019t get through to \u2019em, and it frustrated them.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-062117-Georgia-Weather.jpg\")
I mean, these are potential Ossoff voters. I mean, these are voters that would look at a Pajama Boy and see a real man, and the Democrat fundraisers and the precinct workers couldn\u2019t get to them. Their parents were shielding them and not helping them because their parents were ticked off at \u2019em for voting Democrat. But you don\u2019t fit that profile, so you\u2019re talking about something else that was happening. But I\u2019m glad you called. Glory to you.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: You ever done that? Have you ever done that? Well, it wouldn\u2019t matter if you did it. We\u2019re back, El Rushbo here, great to have you with us.<\/p>\n
I just got an email from the nationally known and renowned meteorologist from Georgia-6. He says, “Rush, I\u2019m glad that you correctly predicted the outcome of the election. I can tell you that no one I knew here thought that Handel would win.”<\/p>\n
Now, folks, I actually think this is crucially important and a teachable moment. This man that I\u2019m referring to is as solidly conservative down the middle as anybody I know. He lives in Georgia-6. This is a district that sent Newt to Washington and Tom Price by significant margins. Now it\u2019s been redrawn since then. It\u2019s not the conservative behemoth that it used to be, but it still is. It leans red. He\u2019s lived there for a long time, and he was convinced.<\/p>\n
I mean, all he had was the media, so I mean what else was he gonna do? What\u2019s he gonna rely on? Not just him. Everybody in that district that he knew — he didn\u2019t know a single person — this is a guy that knows a lot of people \u2019cause he\u2019s nationally famous. This is a guy that knows a lot of people. He didn\u2019t know a single person who thought Handel was gonna win. He believed that 15% of Republicans were voting for the Pajama Boy.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m just telling you, if he thought that, there have to be lots of others, and she still won. Despite that obvious pessimism, despite believing that the Democrats are gonna run away with it, they still went out and voted. There was no question in my mind, these polls that showed 15% of Republicans crossing over to vote for Ossoff, that\u2019s attempted voter suppression.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/RushLiberalismVsAmericanism4.jpg\")
You know, it\u2019s about time you professional conservatives out there started realizing that everything\u2019s not on the up and up in these institutions that you\u2019ve always trusted — the media, polling units — because the Democrats and the left have corrupted virtually every political institution they have their hands on.<\/p>\n
Fifteen percent are gonna vote for the Democrat. Why? Well, the premise for that was everybody hates Trump. Well, my nationally known meteorologist doesn\u2019t hate Trump. There might be some conservatives in Georgia-6 and around the country who do, but they\u2019re not that numerous! Otherwise the Democrats would not be losing all these elections. But nevertheless, she wins by six points, last I looked it was 16,000 votes. That was with not every precinct in. I didn\u2019t keep up with it after the race had been called. So I don\u2019t know what the actual vote margin was or percentage. I think it\u2019s around 6%.<\/p>\n
That is not close. And it\u2019s useless to talk about, “Well, the Republicans used to win by 27.” What percentage did Bill Clinton win the presidency by in 1993, 1992, and 1996? Anybody know? It doesn\u2019t matter, does it? It doesn\u2019t. Six months from now it isn\u2019t gonna matter what Karen Handel\u2019s margin of victory was. It\u2019s not gonna matter until the next election when the political consultants get into gear and try to tell voters that she actually lost, because this is what polling has become, Democrat voter suppression.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/weatherman.jpg\")
Fifteen percent of Republicans crossing over to vote for the Pajama Boy. Give me a break. There was no way that was gonna happen. Common sense told me it was not gonna happen. I took no risk whatsoever predicting that Handel was gonna win, and I did so boldly two weeks, three weeks, a month out. In the face of Politico having him up seven points, I rejected it all. I didn\u2019t feel like I was taking a risk at all. I didn\u2019t risk anything saying that he was gonna lose or she was gonna win, whichever perspective you want to take.<\/p>\n
Now, back to the meteorologist email. “I can tell you that no one I knew thought Handel would win. It was comical that I was getting texts and calls from some liberal group who thought they were texting my daughter. She voted for Handel too. You did a good job on your forecast analysis. Here in Cobb we didn\u2019t get much rain.” This guy\u2019s even thinking the rain was a partisan factor.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s a meteorologist, nationally known, world famous, does not believe in global warming, so if I told you his name, he\u2019d be fired. That\u2019s why I can\u2019t. He would literally be fired. Well, maybe not, but he\u2019d be in trouble. And our last caller, he said he threw away the mail that the Democrats sent to his conservative daughter, before she saw it.<\/p>\n
It gives me an idea. You Republican conservatives who still have Millennial kids living at home, ha-ha-ha, throw away their mail. If it looks like fundraising, generic fundraising me, throw it away. The Democrats are having trouble reaching your kids anyway. (laughing) That was the funniest headline I saw last night. I put it at the top of the Stack. Democrats frustrated they could not get to Millennial voters because so many still live with Mom and Dad.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. Here you go. Handel won by 9,700 votes and four points. And when I last looked it was a six point race, and she was up by 16,000. So she ended at 9,700, round it up to 10,000 votes, and it was 52 to 48, so four-point win for Handel. That\u2019s according to the New York Times. Of course, that equals a Democrat victory. Oh, yeah, that establishes sustainability and momentum going forward for Democrats to retake the House in 2018. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
