<\/p>\nRUSH: Ted Cruz apparently is worried.\u00a0 The Texas primary is today, and apparently, folks, there\u2019s a… (interruption) What?\u00a0 (interruption) That\u2019s what I said.\u00a0 What…? (interruption) I said the primary\u2019s yesterday?\u00a0 Well, no, it can\u2019t be yesterday because this is Tuesday.\u00a0 Primaries are never on Monday.\u00a0 The Texas primary is today, and the Drive-Bys are telling us it\u2019s a blue wave.\u00a0 The Drive-Bys are telling us that the early voting in Texas is practically 75% Democrat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Drive-Bys are telling us that by the time we get to November, Cruz is gone, Abbott\u2019s gone, any Republican\u2019s gone, and Texas is gonna go blue in November.\u00a0 The Drive-Bys are telling us, “The Democrats are energized. They are energized by hatred for Trump, disgust for Trump.\u00a0 They are energized and the Republicans are not.\u00a0 The Republicans are sitting at home.\u00a0 They don\u2019t care because as far as they\u2019re concerned, they won in 2016, and there\u2019s no reason to be upset.\u00a0 So Texas is going to go blue in 2018 and in 2020.”<\/p>\n
This is what the Drive-Bys are saying.\u00a0 Ted Cruz is saying, “Yeah, it could happen.”\u00a0 Now, Ted Cruz is up for reelection in November, and he\u2019s got some serious opposition, and he\u2019s out there warning everybody on the Republican side, “Look, do not take anything for granted.”\u00a0 Don\u2019t you just love the premise here?\u00a0 Let me establish the premise for you.\u00a0 “The Democrats all over this country are energized. They\u2019re mobilized. They can\u2019t wait to get out and vote because they hate Trump!<\/p>\n
“And they despise what happened to Hillary, and they despise the Russians stealing the election from Hillary. They don\u2019t care that Hillary stole it from Bernie, they care that the Russians stole it from Hillary, and they hate Trump, and they just can\u2019t wait to show up and vote against Trump. And voting against Trump means voting for Democrats, and they can\u2019t wait.\u00a0 There never been more energized. They have never been more mobilized. They have any been more ready. We can\u2019t keep \u2019em out of the polling places, they\u2019re so excited.<\/p>\n
“Meanwhile, Republicans are sitting at home already feeling defeated, thinking there\u2019s no reason to vote, because there\u2019s no hope of stopping this blue wave.\u00a0 The Republicans have conceded that Trump was a gigantic error. The Republicans have conceded that Trump was a stupid mistake and it\u2019s something they really feel bad for, and they do think the Democrats deserve to win everything back because of how screwed up the country is because Trump won.”\u00a0 That\u2019s the picture being portrayed.\u00a0 “Democrats can\u2019t wait to vote!<\/p>\n
“Oh, man, it\u2019s like the Kentucky Derby, and they\u2019re held there behind those cages until that buzzer goes off, and they just can\u2019t wait.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the Republicans are so scared and so intimated, they\u2019re barely able to leave their houses for fear of being bullied and shouted down and blamed and called names and being told they\u2019re the reason the country sucks.\u00a0 Republicans know they\u2019re the reason the country sucks!\u00a0 Republican know they\u2019re the reason Trump got elected.<\/p>\n
“They know that\u2019s why everybody in the country\u2019s unhappy and so they know the Democrats deserve to win and they\u2019re gonna stand aside. They have lost interest in Trump. Trump isn\u2019t doing anything for them. They know they made a mistake!” That\u2019s the narrative.\u00a0 (interruption) You disagree with me?\u00a0 (interruption) What are you laughing at? (chuckling)\u00a0 That\u2019s… (interruption)\u00a0 That\u2019s the narrative!\u00a0 If you turn on the news every day, that\u2019s the picture you\u2019re having painted for you.\u00a0 If you go…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
TwiLook at Drudge. There\u2019s the gigantic map of Texas all blue and it says: “Dems Rising: Record Primary Turnout in Texas?” Subhead: “Cruz Fears Blue Wave.”\u00a0 Even Drudge! He\u2019s just linking to the stories that say all that.\u00a0 And when you get to other places, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? “Oh, that\u2019s where the Republicans really feel bad.\u00a0 Republicans are suffering so much guilt.\u00a0 The Republicans know that they screwed up big time by electing Trump.<\/p>\n
“They know it, and they know that Trump colluded Russia, and they know that Putin\u2019s on the verge of running this country, and they know that the only salvation that we may have is Hillary Clinton and maybe Oprah, and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 If we don\u2019t do something and get rid of Trump today or tomorrow or the day after that, then we don\u2019t want to contemplate what\u2019s gonna happen.\u00a0 It\u2019s that bad.\u00a0 The Republicans know it! The Republicans know they\u2019re to blame.<\/p>\n
“And the Republicans know they\u2019re supposed to shut up! They\u2019re not supposed to make speeches. They\u2019re not supposed to go to college campuses. They\u2019re not even supposed to vote!\u00a0 Republicans know the Democrats should have won in 2016 and to make up for the fact that they didn\u2019t, the Democrats are gonna win this year and in 2020.” That, my friends, is your news narrative for today and the rest of the year.\u00a0 So what are you gonna do about it?<\/p>\n
Are you sitting at home quaking in fear, cowering in your corner, wearing your cowboy boots to kick excrement into the corners just to get it out of the way because it\u2019s everywhere?\u00a0 Are you laden with guilt?\u00a0 Are you laden and overwhelmed with pessimism and fear because you know that you made this mess?\u00a0 ‘Cause that\u2019s what they want you to think.\u00a0 But more importantly, that\u2019s what they want you to think the rest of the country thinks about you.\u00a0 They want you to believe that the majority of people in this country really hate you, not just Trump.<\/p>\n
They hate you, and they can\u2019t wait — they can\u2019t wait! — to see you crying and begging for forgiveness on election night in November.\u00a0 They can\u2019t wait.\u00a0 The media\u2019s already got it all planned out, how the Republicans are gonna be effectively destroyed forever on election night in November of this year.\u00a0 It\u2019s coming, and it\u2019s just a matter of time.\u00a0 They probably already have the Trump-Russia collusion story they\u2019re gonna run five days before the election picked out.<\/p>\n
There are gonna be numerous stories this year on Christopher Steele, how he\u2019s been unfairly abused and maligned, how his life has been put on the line simply for being a great patriot. But they\u2019re gonna rehab him, they\u2019re gonna resuscitate him, and he may end up being somebody\u2019s vice presidential nominee if they can do something about the Constitution that prohibits that.<\/p>\n
And then after that, they\u2019re gonna go over and blow up the U.K. and put Brexit back on the back burner, and then they\u2019re gonna go to Italy and they\u2019re gonna — you heard populist conservatives just ran the table in Italy in national elections there. Liberals and socialists were sent packing. Of course, the Drive-Bys are not telling you about that particular story. But that is the sum total of the aura, or call it the narrative, but that\u2019s the picture that they\u2019re painting. It\u2019s not just Texas. It\u2019s everywhere.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, on the ground in Realville, the Democrats still have not won a special election or the House since the presidential election of 2016. Democrats have won some elections in statewide races and local races in Democrat areas. There have been a couple of areas where Trump won big that the Republican lost, but they have been local and statewide. And those elections are being touted by the Drive-Bys as the indicator.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where the truth lies. It\u2019s just we\u2019re on the cusp here of the biggest blue wave you\u2019ve ever seen, they say. It\u2019s pretty much what they told us was gonna happen in November of 2016. Hillary was gonna win by one of the biggest landslides in the history of landslides because of course nobody was gonna vote for Trump. The Access Hollywood video alone took care of that. There wasn\u2019t a soul that was gonna vote for Trump. Look at the polls. The closest Trump was in the polls was eight points.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Hillary in a walk. Even though she can\u2019t stand up for the walk, it\u2019s Hillary in a walk, Hillary in a landslide. Hillary in a seizure will still win. And up to 8 o\u2019clock on election night, they all thought that. And now they\u2019re repeating their history. And it\u2019s all based on what? What they think the natural order should be and that all of this is just some kind of odd, unusual aberration. It\u2019s like Rod Serling came back and invoked the Twilight Zone on all of us for like a couple of years. Then Rod Serling\u2019s gonna leave and say “joke\u2019s over” and everything\u2019s gonna return to normal with Democrats in power and Republicans begging forgiveness.<\/p>\n
There are even stories — I have one in the Stack today — about how Mitch McConnell is purposely sabotaging Trump\u2019s reelection bid by stonewalling Trump\u2019s judicial nominees, making sure Trump doesn\u2019t get all the nominees that he has chosen. And the way Mitch is doing this, according to the story, is that McConnell is not requiring anybody in the Senate to work more than two days a week, which frees the Democrats up for all that time to go back home and campaign and to raise money. And if Mitch McConnell, if he really cared, he would keep the Senate in session, he would make work get done, he would start working on passing the Trump agenda, the DACA stuff, whatever it is, making sure Democrats cannot go home and raise money and run their reelection efforts.<\/p>\n

Now, you all know this because we\u2019ve talked about this a lot, how the Democrats in the Senate have a real tough road this year because they gotta defend 26 seats. Republicans only have to defend eight. But if you listen to the Drive-By Media, the Democrats are gonna win all 26 of those, of their current, their incumbents, and they\u2019re gonna win five to six Republican seats. And the Democrats are gonna be close to 55, 56 seats, and the Democrats gonna take the House, and then Trump\u2019s gonna be impeached and he\u2019s gone. And then every one of you who voted for Trump, they\u2019re gonna come and get your guns.<\/p>\n
