RUSH: To Chicago, this is Mark. I\u2019m glad you called, sir, and welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, mega dittos from Chicago. It\u2019s always a highlight to talk with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, in light of what you talked about yesterday, and not being covered by the Drive-By Media, and then you had that brilliant caller on Monday talking about connecting the heart and the mind, my direct question to you is, if the American electorate does not connect the dots on Hillary and what\u2019s going on out there, do you really think she has a shot of pulling this thing off and sitting in the Oval Office in January of \u201909?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hell, yes. I was the first to say that there\u2019s an 80% chance that she\u2019s the next president. Would you answer a question for me?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I realize many people think I\u2019m capable of doing this on my own, but yesterday was a gold mine for Republican presidential candidates; it was a gold mine for the Republican National Committee. Have you heard any of them react —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Nothing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — to what was said either by Bollinger and what it means, or to Hillary doing a total flip-flop and sounding like George W. Bush? Both of them should be approached by media members, both of them should be tagged by Republican presidential candidates, say, ‘Wait a minute, if this is what you guys really think, why aren\u2019t you supporting the United States effort in the Middle East?\u2019 If the Republicans don\u2019t get on the field, I mean, this is a sitting duck, handed to them on a silver platter. So if nobody\u2019s going to go after her, and if nobody\u2019s going to put in perspective the importance of what Bollinger said from the standpoint, they\u2019ve always known it. He didn\u2019t just come up with these views on Iran yesterday or the day before when he wrote his little introduction of Ahmadinejad. He\u2019s felt this all along. So where\u2019s the support been? Where\u2019s the support for the United States of America? There\u2019s countless opportunity here to make this stuff connectable, dot-wise.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, Rush, as I travel, and even in light of yesterday, I still see the incredible support for her, and how she\u2019s the world\u2019s smartest woman, and there\u2019s no interest in even trying to connect the dots in order to say this is the most disastrous thing we could ever do as a nation is put her in that Oval Office.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I\u2019ll be honest, Rush, I\u2019m not going to use the word fear, because you\u2019ve taught me to overcome fear. It concerns me. It\u2019s a major concern. Again, being a military parent, too, it\u2019s a huge, major concern.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Believe me, I understand totally. What you have to understand here is that she\u2019s going to get a certain amount of support because she\u2019s a Democrat — party loyalty. There\u2019s nothing you\u2019re going to be able to do about that. We\u2019re dealing here with 15 years of name recognition. Now, not all of it has been good, but Mrs. Clinton benefits quite a bit from playing the victim. Both Clintons routinely love to point out how they\u2019re constantly attacked by the right-wing conspiracy. When you\u2019ve got the Drive-By Media on your side carrying that water, you\u2019re able to drum up sympathy. She is not scrutinized; her words are not scrutinized. Five television shows on Sunday, and I picked one thing that she said on Stephanopoulos. Nobody even asked her a tough question. Russert did on Iraq. But that was about it. But the Drive-Bys didn\u2019t pick up on that and report it, nor was it reported anywhere else on MSNBC. There\u2019s just not the same kind of scrutiny in the Drive-By Media, all kinds of explanations for this. <\/p>\n

But I also think lurking out there, something else that the Drive-Bys don\u2019t talk about, Mark, and that is there are plenty of people — and the dirty little secret is that a lot of them are women — who do not like this woman. My 80% figure is as of now. This is subject to change, of course. But she could end up redefining negative turnout, too, meaning people showing up to vote against her. She is not liked. Her unfavorable number hovers around 49%. She is not a likable person. She does not have a likable personality, and she does not have this force of nature aura that her husband, Der Schlick Meister, has. The more she talks, the more her numbers plummet, which is the big challenge for them as this unfolds. But I understand your frustration. This comes up every year. Where are the American people? How come they don\u2019t see? Half of them are not paying attention right now, by the way, either. Well, they\u2019re not. They\u2019re not going to start paying attention in earnest until after Labor Day next year, maybe through the convention. This is all right now for the wonks and so forth and those who can be made interested in it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
