I wasn\u2019t gonna play this, but I\u2019m gonna play it. Stuart Varney, Fox Business Channel, loves Donald Trump &#8212; and appropriately so. And he\u2019s doing an interview with Doug Schoen, the archaic, old-fashioned Democrat. When you think of the Democrat Party as it used to be, this is the guy &#8212; and I don\u2019t mean to call him a dinosaur. He\u2019s a decent guy. He\u2019s not a radical progressive leftist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061818-Varney-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061818-Varney-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061818-Varney-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But he votes them. So he\u2019s one of these guys that does not like the direction the Democrat Party is going, and he\u2019s right to be concerned about it. He\u2019s a regular contributor, analyst, whatever, at the Fox News Channel. He was with Stuart Varney today at the Fox Business Network. You know, Laura Bush has an op-ed in the Washington Post. For eight years of her husband\u2019s presidency, Laura Bush didn\u2019t see fit one time to be critical of the Democrats trying to destroy her husband and who were following her daughters around trying to embarrass them.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t see one reason, have one occasion during the eight years of Barack Obama and Michelle (My Belle) Obama to find any criticism there, despite the dismantling of the American health care system and all the other things that Obama was doing that were stagnating (at best) the U.S. economy. Now all of a sudden, Laura Bush is appalled, outraged, very depressed over what\u2019s happening with the separation-of-families issue, and here\u2019s Varney and Doug Schoen talking about this just today&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>VARNEY: On this issue of the separation of families, I think the Democrats are winning.<\/p>\n<p>SCHOEN: I think they are. When you have Melania Trump and Laura Bush both expressing reservations, I think there\u2019s a political problem &#8212; for the first time, Stuart &#8212; for the Republicans and the Trump administration on immigration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-268963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-011518-Stop-The-Tape-x.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-011518-Stop-The-Tape-x.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-011518-Stop-The-Tape-x-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Okay. What\u2019s this about? Why does Stuart Varney &#8212; who, by the way, don\u2019t misunderstand. I like Stuart very much. I met Stuart once when he was at CNN. I had to be over there for some reason. I forget what it was, back when they were right off Eighth Avenue, Mr. Snerdley, right on the other side of Madison Square Garden. I walked over there some reason and ran into Stuart Varney. He was in the greenroom being made up, and he stopped what he was doing to shake my hand. He\u2019s a great guy.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s happening here? Schoen&#8230; I can understand Schoen is a Democrat. Whether he\u2019s an archaic one or modern-day one, he\u2019s still a Democrat. I think they\u2019re reacting to the media, which is what people in the media do, like CNN\u2019s dumb-ass headline&#8230; Sorry, my friends. As you know\u2019s dumb, stupid headline, &#8220;Outrage Grows over U.S. Separating Immigrant Families.&#8221; It\u2019s manufactured! It\u2019s all political. I maintain to you that nobody really cares about this, because if they did, lots would have been done to fix it years ago when it began.<\/p>\n<p>But it began for solid legal reasons, not political, and that\u2019s what I want to try to up pack here. But their perception is Republicans are losing this, that the Democrats are winning it simply based on the media. They\u2019re winning it as a political argument, which is why so many people are ticked off at Washington anyway. What goes on in Washington &#8212; who wins and who loses there &#8212; is not what matters. I\u2019m talking politically, not substantively. But it just shows you how people can be swayed and how they can be trapped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It just shows you how people can be swayed and how they can be trapped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":276859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
