RUSH: I asked Cookie to get these next two sound bites when I heard about this. You know, we don\u2019t watch MSNBC here. Granted, Roseanne\u2019s gone but Joy Reid\u2019s still there. I mean, all these leftist wackos who say just as rotten things as Roseanne has said here about Trump and about conservatives, but they survive. And it\u2019s understandable, the way the world works.<\/p>\n

But yesterday on Morning Joe Thomas “Loopy” Friedman of the New York Times got desperate. They are panicking. If you want evidence that there is no blue wave coming, you just need to listen to these next two sound bites. This is Thomas L. Friedman, international foreign policy columnist for the New York Times, literally begging the handful of people that watch MSNBC to vote Democrat.<\/p>\n
FRIEDMAN: I only have one piece of advice for people. You have to vote for a Democrat. And I say that as someone who is, you know, I have a lot of very conservative leanings on a lot of issues. I\u2019m for free trade. I\u2019m pro-globalization, pro-business. But the fact is the worst Democrat running for Congress or the Senate today is better than the best Republican because the best Republicans, except those who are tragically dying or retiring, simply will not stand up to this man.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They just can\u2019t stand it, they can\u2019t get over it, they can\u2019t take out Trump.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here\u2019s the next Friedman bite. I love this. Again, on Morning Joe yesterday, desperately begging, pleading anybody, everybody, vote Democrat.<\/p>\n
FRIEDMAN: If you see the norms that he is violating, the way he is trashing some of our most cherished institutions — things like the FBI, the Justice Department — the spreading of conspiracy theories from the bully pulpit of the White House, that is a threat to the very fabric of our society and the very fabric of our democracy. So I\u2019m approaching this election coming up unlike any other election. It\u2019s not about gun control, it\u2019s not about abortion, it\u2019s not about high taxes or low taxes. It\u2019s about whether we can get a lever of power that can restrain this man for the next two years, \u2019cause the man sitting in the Oval Office today is the greatest threat to our democracy.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Isn\u2019t that…? I mean, these people are in the midst of literally losing it. And you\u2019ll note here with Friedman… Now, Friedman\u2019s in the establishment. He\u2019s be a ranking member. So you don\u2019t criticize the FBI. That\u2019s beyond the pale. You don\u2019t criticize the Justice Department. You don\u2019t do that. That\u2019s threatening our democracy. That\u2019s threatening “the very fabric of our democracy.” Let me tell you what\u2019s threatening our democracy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s threatening our democracy is relentless, never ending line of BS that the Russians stole the election. These people — put \u2019em all in there, Thomas Friedman, the Drive-By Media people, the Democrat Party — are doing more to destroy the presumed integrity and honesty of federal elections than anything Vladimir Putin could have dreamed of doing. This relentless attempt to get rid of Donald Trump by suggesting he stole the election when there\u2019s no evidence for it, and it couldn\u2019t be done.<\/p>\n
Even Obama admits this! They have themselves tampered with the electoral process, and they have polluted it, folks. They have corrupted it. All Trump did was win an election. All Trump does is stand up for America. These people cannot handle it. And so now they\u2019re panicking about Trump representing a threat to our values, a threat to our democracy. Anybody see Trump\u2019s rally in Nashville last night? Oh, man. He was on again.<\/p>\n
And I will guarantee you people like Thomas “Loopy” Friedman and any of the left watching this would have to be just desperate. Their hearts sunk. They had been in the throes of depression because they keep waiting for Trump to implode; they keep waiting for Trump\u2019s supporters to abandon him. In their corrupt minds, they keep waiting for everybody to wake up and realize what they realize, that Trump is a joke, he\u2019s a danger and we\u2019ve gotta get rid of him and it\u2019s a nightmare and we\u2019re all gonna wake up.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s the exact opposite. Trump is more popular than ever. He has more of a bond with the people that show up at these rallies than ever before, and it was already strong. He has a deeper connection with them. They love him. And then when Trump introduced Bob Corker, some of the loudest boos in human history were heard. Corker — the camera zoomed in on him — looked a little fidgety, a little nervous out there. Trump had these people the palm of his hand and he was simply talking about American greatness, American exceptionalism and restoring it, maintaining it and so forth.<\/p>\n
I guarantee you these people have all thought the first six months we\u2019re gonna get rid of Trump and that Trump was gonna take himself out. People would wake up — and it\u2019s not trending in their direction. I\u2019ve been there. You know, I\u2019ve been in their shoes. I keep waiting, or did, for cultural depravity to bottom out and recover. “At some point, people are gonna universally sick of this,” and instead it has continued to spiral down now below the gutter. Well, these people are having the same experience. They expect Trump to bottom out — or top out, in this case — and for his fans to have had enough. And there\u2019s no end in sight to it. And they\u2019re beside themselves because, in their minds, they have the power to stop this kind of thing, and they can\u2019t, and they don\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
