RUSH: You\u2019re reacting to my saying that Republicans are unwittingly joining this movement?<\/p>\nRUSH: Don in Angels Camp, California. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. You\u2019re up first today, sir. How are you doing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Doing good, Rush. Longtime listener. I agree with most of everything you\u2019re saying except for one part. I don\u2019t think the Republicans are doing it by mistake. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re being duped. I think they actually side with the Democrats and they\u2019re right there along with Big Government and everything —<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019re reacting to my saying that Republicans are unwittingly joining this movement?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, I knew when I said that, the moment that I said it, I knew there were gonna be people that disagreed. What I meant by it — and I do think there are some Republicans that are stupid, that are not conniving and calculating. They\u2019re really stupid and they get suckered by all of this flowery language, and they think it\u2019s just safer to join. Once a mob forms against anybody, it\u2019s just safer to join the mob than to stand up and defend whoever\u2019s under assault.<\/p>\n
Now I agree with you, a lot of Republicans are Big Government guys, they\u2019re establishment types, they hate Trump, they don\u2019t want Trump to succeed. I myself have said so. So I know exactly where you\u2019re coming from. I just don\u2019t think they\u2019re all that way. I think some of them are just gutless. They\u2019re just following the crowd here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I don\u2019t think so, Rush. I think they\u2019re doing it on purpose.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n
CALLER: They\u2019re not stupid.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m not talking about a majority of them, but I don\u2019t dispute the idea that there are a lot of Republicans that wish Trump had not won and wish he wasn\u2019t there and are willing — they said even during the campaign, I forget which Republican it was that said this. It might have been Kasich. I forget who. “I\u2019d be willing to lose power for a generation if it meant keeping Trump out of the White House.” And I don\u2019t think that sentiment has changed much among quite a few. They\u2019re doing everything they can to stop his agenda. They\u2019re not doing a single thing to advance it, or very little. Thanks for the call.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Look, folks, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised. I don\u2019t want you thinking I\u2019m off the reservation. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the RNC itself is now counting impeachment votes among Republicans. I\u2019m not predicting it; I\u2019m just telling you, if I were to learn that, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d be surprised. They\u2019re all scared to death of the media. For crying out loud. What\u2019s so hard about this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
