RUSH: There\u2019s a couple things I want to get to here before the program ends. One of them: “Why Trump is More Popular Than Ever<\/a>.” This is from TheWeek.com. And it\u2019s essentially a guy saying if the media would just stop writing about the guy, then his popularity would start plummeting again. We\u2019ve tenured him into a celebrity. We\u2019ve gotta stop talking about Trump. We journalists have gotta stop making Trump the focus of the day. And if we don\u2019t, Trump\u2019s popularity is gonna continue to increase because all we\u2019re doing is driving people to him with this never-ending, relentless, childish attack after attack after attack.<\/p>\n

The guy may have a point.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Bill Kristol, one of the leading Never Trumpers… I think most of the Never Trumpers in America work at the Weekly Standard, although there are some scattered at National Review and the New Republic and various other publications. Bill Kristol tweeted something this morning<\/a> that I think demonstrates the shallowness and the destructive nature of voting for somebody you imagined you would personally like and voting against someone you personally dislike.<\/p>\n

\"\"Here\u2019s Kristol\u2019s tweet: “I am no fan of the Obama administration, and I intend to vote for a non-Trump –” I think this is an old tweet. I\u2019m not sure actually when it is. It might be current. It\u2019s not specified. But it doesn\u2019t matter because it applies. Just listen. “I\u2019m no fan of the Obama administration and intend to vote for a non-Trump Republican in 2020, but even I\u2019ll admit that it would be kind of great if Michelle Obama ran in 2020 and crushed Trump.” Bill Kristol, supposed conservative ideological leader, what good is this if he says he\u2019s gonna openly vote for Michelle Obama? And you know why?<\/p>\n

Because of this Trump tweet. “Thank you to Rasmussen for the honest polling. Just hit 50%, which is higher than cheating Obama at the same time in his administration.” That tweet so offended Bill Kristol that he tweeted, “I\u2019m no fan of Obama and intend to vote for a non-Trump Republican in 2020, but even I\u2019ll admit in light of Trump\u2019s tweet that it would be kind of great if Michelle Obama ran in 2020 and crushed Trump.” This is so personal, it\u2019s gotten childishly personal now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
