She showed up with Bill Hemmer. Donna Brazile did not go to CNN. Did they get rid of her because they found out she was sending answers to Hillary?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. So CNN got rid&#8230; So Fox willingly, open-armedly had Donna Brazile on. And Hemmer was asking her all about the blue wave and how the Democrats are planning to do this and this. &#8220;Well, you know, 20 days is a long time in politics, Bill, and I don\u2019t scramble my eggs before my chickens hatch.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Who we listening to here, Dan Rather?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t scramble my eggs until my chickens hatch\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Meaning: There\u2019s so much left that could happen that we don\u2019t know that could affect the outcome here. Exactly my point. The impact of the election, events that are gonna do may not have happened yet, including Kavanaugh, although, although there is even more survey data now that the Kavanaugh story was a one-way benefit to the Republicans, that it has not benefited the Democrats and that the Democrats are seen as the angry party and that the Kavanaugh scenario, as it played out, benefited and continues to benefit Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>So the media is getting a little worried. The Elizabeth Warren, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/10\/17\/fauxcahontas-backfire-elizabeth-warren-mocked-by-media\/\">Fauxcahontas thing blows up to the point they can\u2019t continue to carry the water for her<\/a>; it\u2019s dead. Barack Obama is refusing to hit the campaign trail. The Drive-Bys and the Democrats are stunned and shocked. Where is Barack? Where is our savior, they\u2019re asking. Barack\u2019s nowhere because, you know what? Barack knows he doesn\u2019t help people on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p>You think Obama\u2019s gonna put his reputation on the line here? The only way Obama would put his reputation on the line here, start campaigning, is if this blue wave were a deadlock. If the blue wave were&#8230; (interruption) Why are you staring at me? Oh, yeah, got couple stories. Democrats upset; &#8220;Where\u2019s Obama?&#8221; They\u2019re asking, &#8220;Where\u2019s Barack?&#8221; At least Bill and Hillary are going on a stadium tour. Nobody wants that.<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t find Obama. I\u2019m telling you, Obama\u2019s not gonna go campaign in this situation because the blue wave is not a lock, and that\u2019s the only way he would show up. Barack Obama doesn\u2019t help Democrats. Go take a look. He doesn\u2019t have coattails. It\u2019s during Obama the Democrats lost those 1,200 seats and enra&#8230; He campaigned for Hillary 2016.

Donaldus Trump was immaculated, not Hillary Rodham-Rodham. And so he\u2019s not there. So it\u2019s all falling apart. I\u2019ve got these two, three stories here on this dissipating blue wave and Donna Brazile\u2019s saying, (impression) &#8220;I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not sure, you know, it\u2019s a long time, 20 days.&#8221; So the AP pulling out all the stops. &#8220;Trump Tells AP He Won\u2019t Accept Blame if GOP Loses the House.&#8221; This is not what he said, and this is why Trump is in the media all day. It\u2019s the only way he can counter the fake news and the lies that they tell about him!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the AP story begins. &#8220;Facing the prospect of bruising electoral defeat in congressional elections, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he won\u2019t accept the blame if his party loses control of the House&#8230; In a wide-ranging interview&#8230;&#8221; Is there any other kind of interview than wide-ranging? You think that\u2019s not a cut-and-paste job in every media story? How about a narrow-scope interview?<\/p>\n<p>Do we ever have one of those? No, they\u2019re always wide-ranging interview. &#8220;[T]hree weeks before Election Day, Trump &#8230; dismissed suggestions that he might take responsibility, as his predecessor did, for midterm losses or view the outcome as a referendum on his presidency. &#8216;No, I think I\u2019m helping people,\u2019 Trump said. &#8216;I don\u2019t believe anybody\u2019s ever had this kind of an impact.'&#8221; That\u2019s what he said. He never said, &#8220;Don\u2019t blame me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Can I read you the transcript of the interview? This is CNN\u2019s transcript of the AP interview, and their headline: &#8220;Trump Tells AP He Won\u2019t Accept Blame if GOP Loses House.&#8221; Ready? Three&#8230; two&#8230; one. AP reporter: &#8220;So my question is, if Republicans were to lose control of the House on November 6th or a couple of days later depending on how long it takes to count the votes, do you believe you bear some responsibility for that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump: &#8220;No, I think I\u2019m helping people. Look, I\u2019m 48 and 1 in the primaries, and actually it\u2019s much higher than that because I endorsed a lot of people that were successful that people don\u2019t even talk about. But many of those 48, as you know, were people that had no chance, in some cases. We look at Florida, you look at Donovan in Staten Island. He was losing by 10 points, I endorsed him and he won. I could give you a long list of names.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look at Georgia governor of Georgia. And many, many races. And I will say that we have a very big impact. I don\u2019t believe anybody\u2019s ever had this kind of an impact. They would say that in the old days that if you got the support of a president or if you\u2019ve got the support of somebody it would be nice to have, but it meant nothing, zero. Like literally zero. Some of the people I\u2019ve endorsed have gone up 40 and 50 points just on the endorsement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nowhere in that statement does Donald Trump say&#8230; He doesn\u2019t even address the House being lost. He doesn\u2019t even accept that premise! AP offers it as a premise. \u201cSo,\u201d they say, &#8220;if Republicans were to lose control of the House on November 6th &#8230; do you believe you bear some responsibility for that?&#8221; &#8220;No! I think I\u2019m helping people.&#8221; That becomes a headline: &#8220;Trump Tells AP He Won\u2019t Accept Blame if GOP Loses House!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, the AP will tell you, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s essentially what he was saying.&#8221; No, it isn\u2019t essentially. You are misquoting. Donald Trump is not looking at himself as a negative at all. He\u2019s not looking forward and seeing the need for excuses, AP. He thinks he\u2019s helping people. He thinks he is helping secure victory. It\u2019s not even in his mind that they\u2019re gonna lose and that somebody\u2019s gonna blame him.<\/p>\n<p>This is why Trump never misses an opportunity to talk to the media. It\u2019s why he tweets over and over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Donna Brazile. Now, I didn\u2019t lose my place. She was on with Bill Hemmer today, and they\u2019re talking about the blue wave, where she thinks we\u2019re headed. And remember, now, this is the woman that used to be one of the head honchos of the DNC, the Democrat Party, who, in her normal countenance, would be out there saying, &#8220;Oh, yeah, blue wave! Democrats are gonna win big. It\u2019s our time.

I\u2019m not breaking out the champagne, and I\u2019m not trying to, you know, scramble my eggs before I get my chickens right. We still have to improve turnout. Turnout, turnout, turnout. A Democratic victory depends on turnout among Millennials. One-out-of-five Millennials voted in the last midterm. We also gotta make sure that we get a paint wave before we can get a blue tide. We need these women to win their races. I\u2019m confident but not overconfident. If you asked me today, &#8220;What would I do differently in terms of Democrats?&#8221; I would target Latinos; I would target Millennials.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So what would she do differently? She\u2019s saying here the Democrats are dropping the ball with Latinos. Why is she saying that? Well, because she has the freedom to say it. She\u2019s not at the moment in the hierarchy of the apparatus. And it turns out Latinos are far more supportive of Trump and Republicans than anybody knew, according to recent polling data! The Democrats are stunned at the number of Latinos that are signing on with Republicans and Trump!<\/p>\n<p>The reason they\u2019re stunned is because they believe that all Latinos should despise anybody who is anti-illegal immigration or wants to build a wall. The Millennial thing? I think what that\u2019s about is voter turnout, and she mentions it here. Everybody talks about the Millennials and young people this and young people that. It just&#8230; It never ceases to be the case that on Election Day they don\u2019t show up. They don\u2019t show up in the numbers everybody thinks they\u2019re gonna show up in, and every cycle this plays out.<\/p>\n<p>Every cycle we\u2019re told, &#8220;The youth vote is fired up this time, Mr. Limbaugh. The youth vote? They\u2019re energetic, they\u2019re energizing, they\u2019re motivated. This is a new day; they can\u2019t wait,&#8221; and then same old thing happens; they don\u2019t show up in the numbers that everybody expects them to. She\u2019s suggesting that that may be the case here. The Democrats have failed to light a fire under them. The Latino thing bothered them, and what the Latino thing actually stands for is immigration.<\/p>\n<p>She is, I\u2019ll guarantee you &#8212; like many other Democrats &#8212; stunned that immigration remains such a big, positive, winning issue for Trump and the Republicans &#8212; and it is! It is the issue! Every Republican running for office, either incumbent or running for the first time, needs to be focusing on this issue. There is no way it can hurt them. Ah, they have to be on the right side about it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: NBC News: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/elections\/uncertainty-over-blue-wave-nbc-news-finds-democratic-voter-registrations-n920691\">Uncertainty Over a Blue Wave<\/a> &#8212; NBC News finds Democrat and GOP voter registrations at same level as past election cycles.&#8221; (stammering) Uhhh, but &#8212; but &#8212; but &#8212; but &#8212; but &#8212; but &#8212; but &#8212; but &#8212; but the Democrats had Michelle (My Belle) are out there doing a whole, big voter registration drive out there.

What does this say? &#8220;Democrats are unlikely to pursue major climate change legislation if they win the House majority, despite a growing body of evidence suggesting time is running out to address the issue. This represents a shift in strategy from when House Democrats last controlled the chamber. In 2009&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not gonna pursue it.

It\u2019s at least the fourth warning that we learn have 10 years, and in the midst of these 40 years we\u2019ve also had reports that we\u2019re beyond the point of no return, that there really is nothing we can do.

Bad news for Judge Kavanaugh, right? Investor\u2019s Business Daily: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investors.com\/politics\/editorials\/trump-approval-rating\/\">Trump\u2019s Approval Rating Is Better Than You Think.<\/a>&#8221; Some pull quotes. &#8220;As a matter of fact, Trump\u2019s approval rating is now higher than, or tied with, three of the past six presidents at this point in their first terms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-287599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-100818-Trump-Points.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-100818-Trump-Points.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-100818-Trump-Points-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>&#8220;He\u2019s currently tied with Obama (at 44%), and above both Clinton (41%) and Reagan (42%)&#8221; at this time in his presidency. &#8220;But there\u2019s a broader point here. Democrats and the press keep describing Trump as a hugely divisive figure. But the polls show that his approval is starting to line up with previous presidents. What\u2019s more, Trump\u2019s low numbers are almost entirely because Democrats are universally opposed to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another pull quote: &#8220;At this point in Obama\u2019s presidency, 10% of Republicans approved of the job Obama was doing. And that was after his massive failed [Pork]ulus, his signing of Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, and other policies highly antagonistic to Republicans. Trump, on the other hand, gets approval from a mere 5% of Democrats. That\u2019s where it\u2019s been throughout Trump\u2019s presidency. Republicans, in other words, were more forgiving of Obama than Democrats have been of Trump. So, who\u2019s being divisive here? Trump and the GOP? Or the Democrats who will hate Trump no matter what he does?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I have to think that the Drive-Bys are fully aware of this (they may not want to admit it) that Trump\u2019s approval number is really much stronger than it\u2019s being reported and is much higher. Here\u2019s that story. Snerdley, you didn\u2019t believe it. Daily Beast: &#8220;Democrats Fear Obama Going Soft for the Midterms.&#8221; He\u2019s not out there. He\u2019s not &#8220;going soft,&#8221; he\u2019s not there! You know, don\u2019t doubt me on this. During his presidency, he did not like campaigning for House races.<\/p>\n<p>It was so beneath the office of the presidency, in his mind. He didn\u2019t want any part of it. I think there\u2019s a bigger reason now. I don\u2019t think Obama\u2019s confident that he can pull anybody across the finish line, coattails and all that. The evidence is exactly the other way. It is during the Obama presidency that the Democrats lost 1,200 seats nationwide over the course of six years. From Salon.com &#8212; which is a repository for some of the really inane liberalism that\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2018\/10\/17\/how-long-will-democrats-keep-on-letting-hillary-clinton-dominate-the-party\/\">How Long Will Democrats Keep Letting Hillary Clinton Dominate the Party?<\/a> &#8212; Monday marked the one-year anniversary of actress Alyssa Milano asking sexual assault and harassment survivors to share their stories online under the hashtag #MeToo, a movement first started by activist Tarana Burke a decade before.&#8221; What this is about is Hillary exonerating Bill.<\/p>\n<p>She said (summarized), &#8220;No, no, no, no. Bill didn\u2019t abuse Lewinsky. She was an adult. No, no, no. Besides, Bill\u2019s been far in more investigated than Kavanaugh or Trump. No, no, no.&#8221; A bunch of Democrat women are saying, &#8220;When can we get rid of this babe? She\u2019s holding us back.&#8221; You\u2019re gonna have a lot more of her before you don\u2019t, because she and Bill are starting this nationwide stadium tour. How long do you think it\u2019s gonna be before that gets canceled for lack of ticket sales?<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gonna have trouble filling arenas even if they give them away. I\u2019m serious. How long do you think it\u2019ll be before that tour is either shortened or just forgotten about, due to lack of&#8230;? (interruption) What? (interruption) You think it\u2019s gonna&#8230;? (interruption) Oh, they\u2019ll pay some people to show up, but, I mean, whatever energy\u2019s in there is not gonna be organic. I think they\u2019ve got, what, 12 or 30 dates on this tour over a four or five month period? What do you bet that this thing&#8230;? Remember Hillary\u2019s bus tour for health care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The truth of the matter here is there are more stories today, two or three more about the dissipating blue wave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":288871,"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 -
