RUSH: One of the preeminent, most noteworthy Never Trump senators is Ben Sasse of Nebraska.<\/p>\n

In fact, let me find the Sasse sound bite. I know it\u2019s near the end. Grab audio sound bite No. 20. There is an intense competition amongst Never Trumpers in Washington over who will become the next McCain, who will become the next conscience of the Never Trumpers, who will become the next conscience of whatever the Never Trumpers think Trump doesn\u2019t have that they do have, that the Republican Party needs to reclaim. And here is what Ben Sasse said last night on the Senate floor…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SASSE: We all know that the president cannot lead us through this time. We know that he\u2019s dispositionally unable to restrain his impulse to divide us. His mockery of Dr. Ford last night in Mississippi was wrong. But it doesn\u2019t really surprise anyone. It\u2019s who he is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mr. Sasse, Senator Sasse, I have an alternative view, and I\u2019m not gonna presume that you\u2019re listening but maybe somebody who knows you is. I need you to consider something, Senator Sasse. You and numerous others say that President Trump mocked Dr. Ford in his rally<\/a>, Southaven, Mississippi, earlier this week. Then you suggest that Trump knows what he\u2019s doing, despite all the criticism he gets, that he is doing this, it\u2019s who he is. He can\u2019t help it.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sasse, I think it\u2019s the other way around. I think Trump knows exactly what he\u2019s doing. I think Trump has a behavioral pattern, it strategically happens, it\u2019s call pacing. And let me briefly explain it again in setting up what\u2019s to come next. When Trump originally spoke about Dr. Ford, what did he say? Compelling testimony, riveting. He couldn\u2019t turn away from it. If she\u2019s telling the truth, Kavanaugh\u2019s gone. He\u2019s got no prayer. If Kavanaugh\u2019s lied in his testimony, he\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

Trump said all of this, and everybody said, “Wow. This is really unusual for Trump.” No. It\u2019s not unusual. Trump gets himself on record, not every time, but in many issues he gets himself on record in the approved Washington establishment way. And every time he does it, do not some of you panic? Maybe you don\u2019t anymore. But when he first started doing this, like Paris climate accords, yeah, yeah, there may be something here, we\u2019re gonna look at it. No, he\u2019s gonna cave, oh, no. Doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

You can remember countless times where the president\u2019s initial statement on an issue has seemed to dovetail with what the swamp thinks! But then a few days or a week go by and the president becomes who he is, and he starts speaking out against it after he\u2019s put himself on the record. He does this for credibility, and he does it. It\u2019s something called pacing. And it relaxes the opposition in any number of ways. He\u2019s doing the same thing here with Dr. Ford. He knew right off the bat that she was saying things that nobody could corroborate, that nobody can prove, that she couldn\u2019t prove.<\/p>\n

And what he did on Monday night was not mock her. He explained to everybody the truth about her. Everybody, because of what Trump did at that rally, everybody was forced to look and listen to that little riff on Dr. Ford\u2019s shaky, uncorroborated, unprovable testimony. The Drive-Bys were never gonna tell the truth about Dr. Ford. The Drive-Bys were not able to ignore the rally. They tried. Not even Fox televised Trump\u2019s rally. But because he said what he said about her, he forced the Drive-Bys to cover what he said!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the process, the Drive-Bys reported what he said! And people like Ben Sasse and others started, (imitation), “Get me the vapors, get me get me the vapors, oh, my God. Trump is… This is horrible. This is inhumane. He\u2019s not fit.” What Donald Trump did, recounting the absurd inconsistencies in her testimony, Donald Trump calling her out on everything has been played now on all media. It went all day yesterday, reporters are now asking senators and the press secretary questions about it in the press briefing yesterday.<\/p>\n

The fact is, the Drive-By Media did not report the inaccuracies of Dr. Ford\u2019s testimony. The Drive-By Media did not report on none of the corroboration being possible! They did not tell their audiences that the four people Ford placed in the room when her incident happened claimed they weren\u2019t there! Nobody knew that, folks! Other than you, the people that watch the mainstream media had no idea that Dr. Ford couldn\u2019t back up what she was saying!<\/p>\n

The people that watched the mainstream media had no idea that the four witnesses Ford claims were there all deny it and don\u2019t remember being there! And one of them was one of her good friends! The Drive-Bys were not reporting any of that! The Drive-Bys were reporting what the Democrat senators, (imitation), “I believe her. She is a credible witness.” As far as the American people who watch only mainstream media\u2019s concerned, the woman was telling the truth, they had backup, she had corroboration, and Kavanaugh was guilty!<\/p>\n

So Trump goes out, tells the truth about her, she doesn\u2019t know what, she doesn\u2019t know when, she doesn\u2019t know where, she doesn\u2019t know how she got home, she… Gets it on the record, the Drive-Bys have to report it and for the first time in their lives people who watch mainstream media actually heard it! Look at it this way. Think of the millions of people who had never heard the truth about Dr. Christine Ford and her full-of-holes testimony. Think of the millions who\u2019d never heard it until Trump went out and characterized it for everybody.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Think of it this way. Think of the thousands of voters in Missouri, in Arizona, in Michigan and Maine and West Virginia, North Dakota, Alaska, who now know the truth, who never would have known the truth had Trump not detailed it for people in his rally! Collins, Manchin, Heitkamp, McCaskill, Flake, Murkowski, they knew that there was no corroboration. They knew that there couldn\u2019t have been any truth to what she was saying by virtue of witnesses. This is why Trump did it.<\/p>\n

This is why Trump does what he does. If we had an honest media, millions of people would already know that Dr. Ford\u2019s story doesn\u2019t add up! If the media ever told the truth about this, there wouldn\u2019t be any protests today, or not nearly as large and voluminous. The people at these protests think she\u2019s telling the God\u2019s truth. They think it\u2019s gospel. They don\u2019t know that her story can\u2019t be backed up. Their media hasn\u2019t told \u2019em. The Democrat senators haven\u2019t told \u2019em. Only Trump did. Another reason why they hate him.<\/p>\n

But we don\u2019t have an honest media. And so millions of people had no idea of all the holes in the Christine Blasey Ford story. Now they do. And here\u2019s a little cherry on top. Since Trump did that and the whole media reported on it and Democrat senators and the like were asked about it, what comes three days later? Today\u2019s FBI report saying no corroboration for what Dr. Ford said. So Trump says it, people like Ben Sasse and other Never Trumpers go literally insane.<\/p>\n

But if Trump hadn\u2019t said it, nobody would know it, but Trump did say it. Millions now do know it, and here comes the cherry on the top, the FBI report. We couldn\u2019t find any corroboration for her story. End of the week, Trump was right! Drive-By Media wrong! Democrat senators wrong! Ben Sasse wrong! And Trump doesn\u2019t do this accidentally. It\u2019s not like he\u2019s lucky and stumbles into this stuff. This is Trump\u2019s strategy, and it\u2019s all related to the pacing of how he originally or initially, eventually, I should say, gets to his real thoughts on any issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
