It\u2019s not being touted, and it\u2019s a little bothersome that it isn\u2019t being touted. The Democrats are showing remarkable discipline here in not touting what is very quietly happening out there. And what is very quietly happening out there is that the Democrats are winning elections. They have recently begun to win elections. They are winning special elections. They are winning local and state elections.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Soros.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Soros.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Soros-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And they\u2019re not shouting about it. They\u2019re not being loud and boisterous and celebratory at all. They won another one. And the last five or six of these elections that they have won &#8212; one was in Missouri &#8212; they\u2019re flipping Republican seats. The election they won yesterday was in a district that Trump won by eight percentage points in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>This has happened about 15, 16 times in the last six months, that the Democrats have won elections and in many of them have flipped seats occupied by Republicans. This is not anything to do with the resignations from Congress of all these Republican committee chairmen. That\u2019s another story itself. The Democrats and the Drive-Bys are not doing their Tarzan routine of pounding their chest and saying, &#8220;Look at us.&#8221; It\u2019s happening under the radar.<\/p>\n<p>And for them, I\u2019m telling you, it requires a lot of discipline to stay silent while this happens, \u2019cause you know they want to brag about it, and you know that they want to point to it. The Democrat voter base, the, quote, unquote, resistance voter base, it is very motivated. They are fueled by raw hatred combined with paranoid disappointment and inexplicable rage.<\/p>\n<p>And these very motivated, fueled-by-hatred, filled-with-rage Democrat voters are getting a ton of money to help them in local campaigns. And it\u2019s not being reported much because they\u2019re trying to keep this on the down low, for the very reason that it\u2019s happening; you don\u2019t know, except those of you who live and are voting in these elections and you know the results, but outside the precinct, per se, there\u2019s hardly any news about this. And even when there is, it\u2019s not reflected as important. It\u2019s just being reported as perfunctory and it\u2019s just another news story today. A Democrat won an election, flipped a Republican seat, and they let it go.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the reason I\u2019m bringing this up, ladies and gentlemen, there is no way, there is no way that any Democrat should be winning any election now. There is no way under the sun the Democrats ought to be winning a single election, with the economy alone, with the tax cuts alone, there is no reason for the Democrats to be winning any elections. And yet they are all of a sudden. Through most of last year they were losing elections left and right just like we were from 2010 on.<\/p>\n<p>This is a massive and it\u2019s apparently, to date, a very successful grassroots effort that is being funded by George Soros, primarily, but there are others. This I think, if you want to know the truth, is Russian meddling. Russian socialist worldwide meddling. This is Russian interference in our election. And yesterday we had all these intelligence chiefs, and they were all testifying, and they all assured us that, &#8220;Oh, yeah, the Russians interfered and they\u2019re gonna keep interfering.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-258046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/600-121417-Dem-Hate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/600-121417-Dem-Hate.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/600-121417-Dem-Hate-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>I don\u2019t think that is news. The Russians interfering in America, the Russians interfering in elections, it\u2019s old news. You only think it\u2019s new news because they\u2019ve only started reporting it since they tried to make it look like it helped Trump. The Russians have succeeded in taking over I don\u2019t know how many faculty lounges at major American institutions of so-called higher learning. These are avowed socialists, proudly public about it.<\/p>\n<p>You go on to any college campus, ask the students, the Millennials, 70% proudly say they\u2019re socialist. They don\u2019t know what it means. They haven\u2019t been taught the actual definition of socialism. To them, socialism is simply everybody caring about everybody and everybody being treated equally with no discrimination and total sustainability. That\u2019s what it is to them. And of course the government\u2019s the giant referee making sure that people mistreated are taken care of and the people doing the mistreating are punished.<\/p>\n<p>But economically they haven\u2019t the slightest idea what it means. And this effort is not new, and it is being funded here by George Soros and many others. I can\u2019t conclusively prove that there\u2019s election fraud or cheating going on, but with these people involved and with the socialist intervention here &#8212; and make no mistake, the Soviet Union did its level best to influence life in America. In every walk, every school, every church, the attack, the assault on religion in this country today has roots in communism!<\/p>\n<p>In communism, there is no god other than the state. There is no religion other than the party. And any threat, any competitor has got to be destroyed. Christianity is on the chopping block. This is Soviet, slash, Russian interference, and it\u2019s happening in spades. Just recently Harvard University accepted an offering of official papers from none other than Angela Davis.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I realize that some of you in this audience might be a bit young to know who Angela Davis was. Students for Democrat Society. She was well-known African-American activist and an avowed communist, and Harvard has proudly accepted her papers and is proud to be the repository for her papers.<\/p>\n<p>She has run for office in the United States under the Communist Party USA, and one of the things that has been proven in her papers is that the Communist Party USA was entirely funded and created by the Soviet Union. So all of this panicked talk about Russian interference in our elections? How about Russian interference in our country at large? It\u2019s been happening all of my life and before that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bexar County is Texas\u2019s fourth most populous county and includes San Antonio, so unseating [incumbent DA Nicholas] LaHood would be a key victory for [George] Soros, who has been quietly investing in district attorney\u2019s races all around the country, as a way to reshape the country\u2019s criminal justice policies from the ground up. Soros spent more than $9 million on local [district attorney] races around the country in 2015-2017 alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is good, old-fashioned grassroots all politics is local politicking. This is election insurance. You get your buddies on the courts and in the criminal justice system and that\u2019s insurance against losing elections. In Bexar County, Texas, George Soros is trying and succeeding in who wins the DA race? Can you imagine what he\u2019s doing in congressional races and statewide legislative raises?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-245373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/TexasSHORT-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/TexasSHORT-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/TexasSHORT.jpg 378w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/02\/14\/poll-republicans-overtake-democrats-heading-into-midterms\/\">Daily Caller has a story<\/a> about this flooding that is happening in Bexar County, Texas. (They might pronounce it Bexar. I\u2019m not sure.) &#8220;Soros has already spent just under $70,000 backing a primary challenge to Bexar County District Attorney Nicholas LaHood&#8230;&#8221; Seventy grand. That doesn\u2019t sound like a lot of money, but this is a county DA\u2019s race. These people spend $1500 on their campaign and Soros has spent $70,000 so far &#8220;according to campaign finance documents&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LaHood is a Democrat, don\u2019t misunderstand, &#8220;but opposes sanctuary cities and said he supports Texas Gov. Greg Abbott\u2019s crackdown on cities that defy federal immigration law.&#8221; So even though he\u2019s a Democrat, he\u2019s gotta go! George Soros is targeting any elected official that is opposed to immigration reform, opposed to sanctuary cities, and he\u2019s funding their opponents. &#8220;One of the mailers attacked [the incumbent DA Nicholas] LaHood as &#8216;bigoted,\u2019 &#8216;racist\u2019 and &#8216;Islamophobic\u2019 in both English and Spanish. LaHood fought back by displaying the mailer in one of his own campaign ads and accused Soros of trying to [buy] his seat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Point is, they\u2019re winning elections, and it\u2019s happening very quietly and nobody is singing songs of joy about it so people aren\u2019t alarmed. But with all of the money the Republican National Committee is raising compared to the practically nil the Democrat National Committee is raising, this ought not be happening. There ought not be any Democrat winning significant elections right now, not in the slightest, and yet it\u2019s happening. I thought you needed to know.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: A couple of stories here to illustrate why I\u2019m a little ticked off about this. They need not be happening, and I hope that there\u2019s not a whole lot of reliance on, &#8220;Trump\u2019s gonna handle it! Trump will do it.&#8221; Nothing replaces grassroots efforts in terms of registering and getting voters out, especially in this climate where we\u2019ve got a rebounding economy like we haven\u2019t seen since the 1980s, folks. Some might say we saw vestiges of it for periods of time in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/02\/13\/trump-popularity-on-rise\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264034\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-013118-Trump-State-of-the-Union.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-013118-Trump-State-of-the-Union.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-013118-Trump-State-of-the-Union-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Fine, if you want to use that. It\u2019s been a long time. There are massive improvements, great changes taking place. Democrats ought not be winning a single thing out there, and particularly on the area of immigration and sanctuary cities and violating federal law! And yet they are. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/02\/13\/trump-popularity-on-rise\/\">Here\u2019s backup from a story we had yesterday on the Morning Consult poll<\/a>. &#8220;Republicans overtook Democrats on a generic congressional ballot for the first time since April 2017&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember in December the Drive-Bys basically unable to contain themselves with glee and joy because the Democrats were ahead in the generic ballot plus 15, and that went a long way toward convincing them that they had already won the 2018 midterms? Plus 15 in the generic ballot. It was seen as an insurmountable lead. It was portrayed as a referendum on Trump, and the Drive-Bys were running around telling everybody, &#8220;You see this generic ballot? People realize they\u2019ve screwed up! People realize they made a mistake voting for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People want to take a chance and take that vote back. People can\u2019t wait!&#8221; That\u2019s how the media was portraying it, and since the beginning of January when this tax cut talk started, the generic ballot has begun to improve ever so slowly for the Republicans. In the last two weeks, it has taken off, and that entire 15-point lead the Democrats had is gone, and now the <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/02\/14\/poll-republicans-overtake-democrats-heading-into-midterms\/\">Republicans are leading in the generic ballot<\/a> &#8212; 39% preferring Republicans, 38% preferring Democrats. Uncertainty is high, 23%.<\/p>\n<p>But that, of course, comes down once you put names on the ballot and it no longer becomes generic. &#8220;The shock poll follows a warning from Democratic SuperPAC Priorities USA that Democratic focus on day-to-day news involving the Trump administration is winnowing [eating way] advantages in the polls,&#8221; and here is that story. McClatchy had the story. &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2018\/02\/13\/mcclatchy-dems-hitting-red-alert-trump-polling\/\">Democrats Hitting Red Alert Over Trump Polling<\/a>,&#8221; and it\u2019s all true.<\/p>\n<p>The Morning Consult poll on the generic ballot is true. Chuck Schumer has been out there warning Democrats that Trump hatred and Trump opposition is not enough to win 2018 like they\u2019ve all thought it would be. Now a big-time Democrat liberal PAC is alarmed. And against that, out there in these little DA races and other places, Democrats are winning elections. And the Democrats are being very quiet about it. These two things don\u2019t go together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Rush-Sounds-Alarm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Rush-Sounds-Alarm.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Rush-Sounds-Alarm-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>The Democrats don\u2019t need to be winning elections right now. So somebody needs to get their butt in gear. And that money that has been donated needs to be put to good use. This is the time the Democrats need to be hammered and beaten and defeated continually at every opportunity there is. It\u2019s not the time to let up on the gas and start making assumptions that things are in the bag or in the tank. And I know, there\u2019s still some Never Trumpers in the Republican apparatus nationally, but there\u2019s still no excuse for this.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I have to make a correction. This embarrasses me. I\u2019ve been pronouncing the name of this county in Texas &#8220;Bex-err,&#8221; and it\u2019s &#8220;bear.&#8221; It\u2019s Spanish. The X is silent in Spanish. I should have known that. Actually, phonetically to pronounce it in Espanol, &#8220;Beh-har.&#8221; But they just combine into Bexar County down there. B-e-x-a-r. I should have figured that out. It just ticks me off! (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Well, because when I\u2019m told what the pronunciation, I look at it and say, &#8220;Yeah, it makes total sense,&#8221; and I just hate making goofball mistakes when I could have figured that out on my own. How many people you think been running to the phone shouting at the radio, &#8220;No, Rush! It\u2019s Bexar. It\u2019s Bexar.&#8221; I should have saved them all the aggravation, be able to figure it out myself.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Kathy in Parker, Arizona. I\u2019m glad you waited. Great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, it\u2019s great to be on, Rush. Thank you so much. This is awesome. This is awesome. I just want to let you know, I\u2019ve been listening to you on and off for the last 20 years or so, and I just have to thank you for keeping us so informed, especially the one that you just talked about today, I didn\u2019t realize that Democrats were quietly winning local elections.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They are.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That concerns me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And they\u2019re doing a good job at keeping it on the down low, which means Republicans are not alarmed. They don\u2019t even know it\u2019s happening other than in the areas where the elections are taking place. The national Democrats are not crowing about it, they\u2019re not bragging about it, they\u2019re not talking about it. The Drive-By Media is not doing stories about it, except local Drive-Bys, and that\u2019s where you find these stories. If there is any reference to \u2019em in a national story, it\u2019s very tiny. It\u2019s almost like a purposeful strategic effort here or idea to downplay these election results.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-020217-Liberals-Undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-020217-Liberals-Undo.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-020217-Liberals-Undo-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: Yeah, because it throws us off. And even though I\u2019m in a very, very small town, I try to keep my foot, you know, my eyes on what\u2019s going on in our local elections and with our local people. And I just don\u2019t understand how people can look at this economy and look at everything that is happening that wouldn\u2019t be happening under a Democrat president &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You have to find out what media they\u2019re watching. And I\u2019m telling you, if all they watch is what we call the Drive-By Media, they don\u2019t know the country you know. They don\u2019t know the Donald Trump &#8212; they don\u2019t know the economy that you\u2019re being told. They think these tax cuts are gonna be tax increases. That\u2019s what their media told them. And even when they get a tax cut, they\u2019re not gonna realize it\u2019s for everybody. They\u2019re gonna think they lucked out and they\u2019re gonna think most of their neighbors are getting tax increases.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re being misinformed, lied to, and you name it. And if they don\u2019t access anything other than mainstream media, they don\u2019t know what you know. And what they think they know is that Trump is rotten, Trump colluded with Russia, the election was illegitimate. You\u2019d be amazed at the number of people who still believe this. You can\u2019t relate to it because you know it\u2019s absolutely absurd, and it\u2019s been demonstrated to be absurd and manufactured and made up, but you only know that because one half of the media is all that\u2019s telling you.<\/p>\n<p>Do you realize that the people you\u2019re talking about don\u2019t even know who Fusion GPS is? They probably don\u2019t know the name Christopher Steele. And all they know is that there was a dossier where Trump took a leak on a bed that Obama slept in. They believe it. That\u2019s what we\u2019re up against here. And it\u2019s the same thing with college age students. This is the kind of stuff they\u2019re taught, and even before they get to college.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I\u2019ve said continually that it\u2019s a mistake to reach across the aisle and try to compromise or find common ground \u2019cause it isn\u2019t there. They need to be defeated. I don\u2019t care where leftists are, where Democrats are, they need to be defeated. Now, some of these local elections, like the one in Bexar County in Texas, that\u2019s a district attorney\u2019s race. People say, &#8220;Well, Rush, what does that matter, you can\u2019t count that as a loss.&#8221; You kidding? You know, the old saw about all politics being local, a DA determines who gets charged and who doesn\u2019t and it\u2019s an elective political office?<\/p>\n<p>The closer politics gets to the population, the more powerful it is and the more influence it is. That\u2019s why grassroots politics is so important. You get the DA election and you get into town council, mayor, all these things. The Democrats from 2010 on lost over 1,200 seats, and it wasn\u2019t just in the U.S. Congress and statehouses. It was exactly these kinds of races. And they matter, particularly when you add them all up, when they become cumulative, and they do matter. It should not be happening. There\u2019s no reason for it to happen. Given the ammunition the Republicans have and the resources.<\/p>\n<p>Here is Dave in Colorado Springs, you\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you, sir.

It is such an honor.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You are such a great American. I mean, it\u2019s just off the charts.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mr. Snerdley said to get right to my point, so I\u2019ll do that. I agree with all your stuff on the Democrats winning the elections locally, and I think that\u2019s part of their strategy is to start low and start small and get going. But I think there\u2019s two other factors that really play into that. At least here in Colorado. Some of the candidates that the Republicans are putting forward are just terrible.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, they\u2019re nice people, and they have one or two nice ideas, but they\u2019re not gonna win. For instance, our governor is gonna be another Democrat. Any of the five or 10 candidates that we have running, they\u2019re nice people, but they\u2019re not gonna win. None of them are charismatic and get there, so we need better candidates. Second thing is &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, wait a minute, now. Who\u2019s in charge of that? Who\u2019s in charge of who decides who\u2019s gonna run? Your Republicans in your governor race out there, I mean, they all want to run. Did somebody pick these people to run? Is somebody telling the others not to run in favor of one? I mean, who\u2019s in charge of this?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: There\u2019s some people that just decide to run and then there\u2019s other people that the Colorado GOP take or try to select.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right, so what do you do about the people outside the GOP who just decide they want to run?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, you have to let \u2019em run, but as people &#8212; I go to the state and county assemblies and all that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What if they\u2019re the duds that you\u2019re talking about?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: We have to hold our nose and vote for the one that might be the best. It\u2019s a really tough situation. But we do get into situations where, you know, like McConnell, who I really don\u2019t like, won\u2019t support senatorial candidates. And we had Darryl Glenn lose the election because of that. He only lost by 3%. So, you know, we definitely need better candidates.<\/p>\n<p>But I think the second point is important, too, is that Trump had a voter commission on voter fraud, and he was doing that and trying to get the secretary of state to look at that. I still think there\u2019s a lot of voter fraud out there that\u2019s not being investigated, reported, et cetera. And I think that\u2019s one of the reasons why, perhaps even the main reason why the Democrats are so mad that Crooked Hillary lost is because they thought they had enough fraudulent votes to win, and so she didn\u2019t go to the some of the states. And I think we really need to investigate that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021318-Hillary-Face-of-Democrat-Party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021318-Hillary-Face-of-Democrat-Party.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021318-Hillary-Face-of-Democrat-Party-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: You think that Crooked Hillary didn\u2019t go to those states because she thought they had the elections in those states taken care of?

I know you\u2019ve kind of brushed on the edge of it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t think she could have gotten there if she\u2019d a wanted to.

The tea Party, by the way, maintains they haven\u2019t gone anywhere just \u2019cause this budget stuff happened. The Tea Party is saying, &#8220;Hey, we\u2019re still here, and we\u2019re still there, and we\u2019re still working.&#8221; The candidate-selection process&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It depends on the party\u2019s strength from state to state, but in many cases the party will anoint a candidate and do everything they can to keep opponents from running in primaries.
