This is yet another example of this massive divide. Tim Pawlenty loses in a primary by nine points, and the Republican establishment doesn\u2019t understand why.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-282295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Pawlenty.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Pawlenty.png 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Pawlenty-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Because to them Pawlenty is the perfect anti-Trump, and everybody wants the anti-Trump now; right? Everybody hates Trump now. Everybody\u2019s had their fill of Trump. Everybody wants something more reasonable and more whatever. The Republican Party in Minnesota. By the way, there was a very, very red flag thing in Minnesota that happened I\u2019ll get to in a minute. But even the Republicans still don\u2019t get it. Ninety percent of the Republican Party supports Trump and the Republican hierarchy is shocked when Tim Pawlenty loses?<\/p>\n<p>No, the thing that happened, Democrat turnout in Minnesota was twice what Republican was. Trump lost Minnesota by I think 45,000 votes, which is close in Minnesota. Minnesota\u2019s got the Democrat Farmer-Labor Party there, which is their version of the Democrat Party. It\u2019s very, very radical left. But the people, &#8220;Oh, wow. This blue wave, it\u2019s really gonna happen, it\u2019s really gonna happen, look at Minnesota, twice the turnout.&#8221; Well, probably reflective of the population too.<\/p>\n<p>And of course now the Democrats are beside themselves \u2019cause a transgender won an election in Vermont. Uh, sorry. Can\u2019t say transgender. You know that\u2019s racist? I don\u2019t know how. When you call a transgender a transgender it\u2019s somehow a put-down. You\u2019re not supposed to do it. (interruption) Well, I don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t the slightest idea. I just call \u2019em people because when you strip it all away, that\u2019s what they are.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, they\u2019re thinking that signifies a blue wave as well. I know it\u2019s Vermont. But the Democrat Party, the party of the abnormal, and they\u2019re expecting a revolution of these people, and that\u2019s where they\u2019re blue wave is coming from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Tim Pawlenty loses in a primary by nine points, and the Republican establishment doesn\u2019t understand why. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":282295,"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 -
