RUSH: Some are calling this breaking news out there. I guess. It\u2019s a very short sound bite of four seconds. It\u2019s Jeffersontown, Kentucky, this morning. Mitch McConnell had a press conference, and a reporter and McConnell had the briefest of exchanges about sexual misconduct allegations against Roy Moore. Listen fast. It goes by in four seconds.<\/p>\n

\"\"REPORTER: Do you believe these allegations to be true?<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL: I believe the women, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “You believe these allegations to be true?” “I believe the women, yes.” Have you ever heard Mitch McConnell say a word about Bob Menendez? Have you? No, I\u2019m asking. I haven\u2019t, but I\u2019ll be honest, I don\u2019t follow the Senate leadership day in and day out. Menendez is a Democrat senator on trial for all kinds of corruption, including sexual predatoring with one of his big donors<\/a>.\u00a0 And Menendez has been accused of identical things that Roy Moore\u2019s been accused of.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just asking, does anybody remember McConnell condemning — this is what I mean by the left circles the wagons around their perverts, and we throw ours overboard, no questions asked.<\/p>\n

Now, to some it\u2019s a matter of morality. Look, who wants somebody like this in the club? Who wants somebody like this? Even the allegations make us nervous. This guy is an oddball to begin with. That\u2019s what they think.<\/p>\n

Have you heard the latest? “Wait a minute. We can certainly get rid of somebody on the base allegations. We don\u2019t have to wait for proof. That\u2019s only in a court of law. No, no, no. He\u2019s not entitled to the benefit of the doubt. There is no waiting for proof. That\u2019s only relevant when we\u2019re talking about in court or being judged before the law. But if we, the United States Senate, don\u2019t want somebody here because of what has been alleged about \u2019em, we are perfectly within our right. We don\u2019t have to wait for whether there\u2019s truth or not, or guilt or innocence.” That\u2019s what\u2019s being relied on.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, want to hear a little factoid? The age difference between Roy Moore and the woman in question was 14 years. He was 14 years older than she was. You know what the age difference was between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky? It was 27 years. Just saying. I\u2019m just saying. One of them is a celebrated star of the Democrat Party. One of them remains the big dog of the Democrat Party. One remains the guy they all want to be like. Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, the Joe Biden interview<\/a>. (chuckles) If I didn\u2019t know better, I would say that NBC\u2019s trying to drive their own ratings down in order to maybe get a better deal with the NFL when new rights are negotiated. Why in the world would you do that? I didn\u2019t see it. Did anybody? Did you guys watch the Biden interview? (interruption) You did? Let me ask you, did Matt Lauer ask Biden how he has got the nickname of “Handsy”? You do know that Biden has that nickname? Handsy as in “handsy.” Do you know why? (interruption) That\u2019s kind of… (interruption)<\/p>\n

You kind of close to it there, Mr. Snerdley. He gets kind of “handsy” with women. He\u2019ll rub their shoulders and keep going, depending on the vibe that he gets. I\u2019m not kidding. It\u2019s just old Joe, you know. Joe can look at a guy in a wheelchair, “Stand up, Chuck! Stand up, Chuck, and let \u2019em see you! Oh, my God, what am I talking about? Oh, God bless Chuck! Let\u2019s all stand up for Chuck.” That\u2019s just Joe. One of the women that Mitch McConnell believes over Judge Moore is a woman who worked for Joe Biden. (interruption) Did you know this? (interruption)<\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t know this? This woman worked for Biden — who hates Roy Moore, by the way, Biden does — and this woman who cavorted with Moore, who worked for Biden, has called for Trump to be impeached since Inauguration Day. Now she has deleted her anti-Moore postings from Facebook and her rants about removing Trump from office. She\u2019s deleted those things. Why would she do that? (interruption) I don\u2019t think she wants to appear to be a partisan hack. She\u2019s taken down all of the anti-Trump stuff. She has removed all of the anti-Moore postings and the anti-Trump postings from Facebook.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Bobby in San Diego. Bobby, do you miss the Chargers, or do you not care?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, mixed emotions. I liked the team, not the ownership.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re leftists.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, this is maybe changing the pace a little bit. I have a thought about what Trump might do. I think McConnell and the Republican senators, there\u2019s always three of them that will screw up the works. I think it\u2019s time for Trump to go to Plan B. I think he should go to Heidi Heitkamp, Democrat from North Dakota who\u2019s running next year. She won last time by less than 1%.<\/p>\n

And I would say, “Heidi, I got a deal for you. You support my tax bill, I will make you a promise. I will not go to North Dakota, and I will not do what destroys everybody I run against, and that is hold a Trump rally. Alternatively, if you want to vote against the will of the people of North Dakota, I\u2019m gonna make your life hell and you can enjoy your last 11 months as a U.S. senator.”<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: That\u2019s not Plan B. That\u2019s the way Trump operates Plan A.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think Plan A should be invoked, then. I know he did it before. But everybody\u2019s so worried about, oh, what\u2019s gonna happen to Judge Moore because McConnell\u2019s trying to throw him under the bus. I think it\u2019s time to go to the Democrats and have the Chuck and Nancy show again. Get two or three of those, get Joe Manchin. He wants to be a senator next year. He doesn\u2019t want to lose.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, here\u2019s the approach. You may be on to something. Trump could go to these guys say, “Look, we got problems in my party, but your party has no problem with sex perverts. So you guys are not gonna run anybody out of your party. I could really use your assistance here on some of this stuff” and maybe even try to convince them to change parties, you know, sweeten the deal, change parties and promise them that if they do get involved in some perversion sex stories, Trump will do his best to defend them if they\u2019re worried about that, changing parties.<\/p>\n

To be serious, I get where you\u2019re coming from here, that Trump needs to branch out because depending on the Republicans, not enough of \u2019em, and number two, it\u2019s not obvious they want him to succeed, right? That\u2019s what you\u2019re really driving at here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, absolutely. In fact, I think Trump would rather, it would be his style to stick his finger, poke his finger in Mitch McConnell\u2019s eye and say, “I don\u2019t need your votes. You know, I don\u2019t care what Jeff Flake and you and little Bobby Corker do. I\u2019ve got the votes. You guys are the pikers.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what he wants to do. I actually think Trump wants to try to unify with these people, with McConnell. Still, I don\u2019t know how long his patience is going to be for it. But if you just look at the numbers, look, he\u2019s not gonna get anywhere — even if he could have massive success persuading Democrats, he\u2019s not gonna get 50 of \u2019em. You might say, “We won\u2019t need 50. If he could get 10, then you could deal with 10 Republicans defections.” But depending on how far he went with the Democrats, you know, how, quote, unquote, loyal would the Republicans be to Trump to stay with him. I don\u2019t know. Those are interesting things.<\/p>\n

But one of the things I think you\u2019re bouncing off of is that Trump is not defined by convention. And he is his own man and can try to put together a coalition however he wishes, and especially now, now that he\u2019s got ample evidence that it ought not be this hard to get your party to support your agenda. I keep sitting here and dreaming what it would look like if there could just be, you know, what I always have been saying, three months, six months of the entire Republican caucus in Congress unifying behind Trump.<\/p>\n

I know the answer is that they\u2019re all establishment types and many of them really don\u2019t want Trump to succeed. But at some point something\u2019s got to give here. And I really think there\u2019s a lot of people, Bobby, that are sitting around waiting for Mueller and hoping Mueller comes up with something that drives Trump out, and that would make all of this much easier on them. That\u2019s one of my not fears, but one of my suspicions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
