And Chuck You was in Louisville at the University of Louisville, and he spoke at a Q&amp;A period after his remarks. It was this morning. And a member of the audience said, &#8220;There\u2019s been talk of a blue wave of Democrats winning seats in the midterms. If this is to happen, what are the biggest obstacles that Democrats must overcome in order to win big in November?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SCHUMER: People will make their own decisions about Donald Trump. Our mistake, I think, you cannot just run against Donald Trump. And it is the job of we Democrats to put together a strong, cohesive, economic group of proposals aimed at the middle class and those struggling to get there. There\u2019s a lot of discontent in America. People don\u2019t have faith in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021218-Schumer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021218-Schumer.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021218-Schumer-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: This is just striking to me. Here we are in the midst of the biggest middle class economic revival since the 1980s. We are in the midst of people getting raises, bonuses, manufacturing jobs coming back to the country, all kinds of productivity going up, jobless claims going down. The middle class is the primary beneficiary. What can these Democrats offer that will be better than what we have now? And the answer is nothing! Because their solution is government does everything for everybody. They want government to be seen as the beneficiary &#8212; well, the benefactor.<\/p>\n<p>They want people to see the government making their life better for them, but in a give-it-away sense, in a what-are-we-doing-for-you sense. Trump\u2019s government is actually making life better for people by reducing their taxes and giving them higher disposable income and creating circumstances where new jobs are created and they\u2019re high-paying jobs. It\u2019s a labor market right now. What are the Democrats gonna offer? They don\u2019t have anything but Trump hate.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats have to try to convince their people that this country is dying, that this country is on its last legs, that we\u2019re nearing the apocalypse, and only Democrats controlling government can fix that. And there are gonna be plenty of sob stories about illegal aliens and the DREAMers and all of the people the Republicans are forgetting about and leaving behind, but the fact is that 80, 90% of the American people who work are getting a tax cut. They\u2019re already seeing more disposable income per paycheck. What are the Democrats gonna offer?<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats, they don\u2019t have it in them, folks. There\u2019s nothing in the Democrat Party playbook, there\u2019s nothing in their ideology. Not one of them voted for the tax cut that is reviving this economy. Not one of them. What are they gonna do? The only hope they\u2019ve got is Trump hate. And then they\u2019ve gotta try to convince the American people that their standard of living going up isn\u2019t real.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-225954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-004.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-004-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-004-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>And they\u2019re gonna have the media helping them, and they\u2019re gonna try just that, and you\u2019re gonna get mad because you\u2019re gonna be watching the media run down this country while it\u2019s in the midst of a revival. You\u2019re gonna get mad, you\u2019re gonna fear people are gonna believe it, and some will. But that\u2019s all they\u2019ve got. That\u2019s all they ever do: negative, talk down, scare, fearmonger, crisis after crisis after crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know what the stock market\u2019s doing today, folks? Have you heard? If you watch the Drive-By Media, I dare say you don\u2019t know that the Dow Jones Industrial Average today is up over 500 points. Why don\u2019t you know that? If it were down 500 points you would know it. If it were down 500 points they\u2019d have a tote board up there, 80% of the screen, and they\u2019d be tabulating the decline, and they\u2019d have their analysts on microphone explaining how we\u2019re just this side of the apocalypse.<\/p>\n<p>But the DJI is up over 500, 10 minutes ago I checked. There isn\u2019t any coverage of that. So you better get ready. We\u2019re in the midst of an economic revival and an uptick, and the media and the Democrats\u2019 only hope is to try to convince you it isn\u2019t real, it isn\u2019t sustainable, it\u2019s phony or it\u2019s only for the rich or what have you. The same old playbook they always use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: What can these Democrats offer that will be better than what we have now? And the answer is nothing!
