If they sit out the general election, the Democrat wins it by default, whichever one of the Three Stooges wins it. Guess what? In the next four years, there\u2019s going to be probably one, maybe two Supreme Court vacancies come up. Do they really want one of the three bozos over there appointing the next two Supreme Court justices? Is Clinton gonna appoint another Ginsburg, or is she going to do another Scalia? Is Obama going to appoint another Justice Thomas or is he going to do somebody like Breyer or Stevens? Do they really want a liberal appointing the next two Supreme Court justices? They need to take the blinders off, Rush. They need to look at the bigger vision and quit being Tunnel Vision Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I understand what you\u2019re saying. I hate to tell you this, but she\u2019s not alone. I\u2019m here to tell you, if either of these two guys get the nomination, it\u2019s going to destroy the Republican Party, it\u2019s going to change it forever, be the end of it. A lot of people aren\u2019t going to vote. You watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Mark in Standish, Michigan, I really appreciate your holding on.
