I just think you should know that\u2019s what they\u2019re saying, and I think I know why they\u2019re saying it.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re saying it because they\u2019re not covering anything to do with the midterms anymore, and they\u2019re not covering the caravan. They\u2019re not covering Kavanaugh. They\u2019re not covering any of the news stories that angered Republicans and got them invigorated. They\u2019ve gone wall-to-wall with bombs, and the way they\u2019re covering the bomb story is that Trump did it! &#8220;Trump\u2019s responsible for it, \u2019cause they\u2019re all Trump targets,&#8221; and they\u2019re trying to make you feel guilty and responsible and lose your enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the game being played today.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And look at it. There they are again. CNN: &#8220;Manhunt for Serial Bomber Going After Trump\u2019s Targets.&#8221; I tell you, I don\u2019t know about you, folks, but seeing CNN continue to refer to this as &#8220;going after Trump\u2019s targets&#8221;? I mean, that really dampens my enthusiasm to vote Republican. How about you? All it does is fire me up! That\u2019s what these people don\u2019t understand, and I guess we\u2019re very lucky that they don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-289928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-102518-CNN-Bombs-grab-999.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-102518-CNN-Bombs-grab-999.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-102518-CNN-Bombs-grab-999-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>They still are living in the bubble and under the old belief systems, and I guess you can\u2019t blame \u2019em because they worked for decades\u00a0 on how to dispirit Republican voters, how to turn down Republican turnout, how to destroy Republican candidates. And they\u2019re still going about it in the same old way despite the fact that they have yet to succeed using any of their proven techniques on Donald Trump. They continue to try them over and over and over, and I think&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to say this too loud, but CNN and some of these other Drive-By news outlets are doing more to pump up Republican enthusiasm than they apparently have any idea. Because very simply, CNN and the rest of the media are making everybody mad! They\u2019re literally ticking people off! They have become obsessive. They are&#8230; They\u2019re not right. There\u2019s something about these people; they\u2019ve gone over the edge. They\u2019re sick, they\u2019re angry, and they are really unaware of how they are overplaying what I think is already a bad hand.<\/p>\n<p>And the fascinating thing is that while they overplay this bad hand, they think that they\u2019re winning! So they tell themselves, &#8220;Yes, the bomb story has served to weaken Republican enthusiasm. There seems to be less excitement on the Republican side.&#8221; Based on what, do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Overnight, the Drive-Bys have been able to detect that Republican voter turnout and enthusiasm has really, really been tamped down. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":269103,"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 -
