It\u2019s an utter disaster, and there\u2019s only one thing for the superdelegates to do and that\u2019s to bag these two and to come up with a third candidate for the Democrat presidential race. That\u2019s the last option they have. If these two guys, Clinton, Obama, head to the convention down ten or 15 points to McCain, the only option they\u2019re going to have is to get somebody out there that\u2019s a fresh start, that they can run who\u2019s not a liberal and not exposed, as these two have become, as genuine liberals. The guy said he wanted to talk about that, said the superdelegates wouldn\u2019t listen to me. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Kingwood, Texas. This is Jim. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125117.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: Yeah, Rush, I have a suggestion for the Democrat superdelegate option for a third candidate.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me hear it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Let\u2019s give them John McCain. Then we can rerun our own primary.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oooooh. (laughing) <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But, Rush, I\u2019d like to do it differently this time. As a Texan, I was disenfranchised by my choices having been eliminated by the time I could vote. So I would run it as Republican Idol. Let\u2019s put the candidates back up there and have a weekly elimination debate with call-in voting. And for the panel of moderators, I want, instead of Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul, I want Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, and Ann Coulter.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: As the judges? <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: As the judges.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Interesting. I like your first idea. Give the Democrats McCain and we do our own smoke-filled room selecting at our convention. That\u2019s actually brilliant. (laughing) Sad it couldn\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n<p>Sean in Cleveland, I have 35 seconds, and I wanted to get to you before we had to skate outta here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Great. It\u2019s Indianapolis, Rush. Hey, first of all I want to thank you for fighting for our freedom.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Cleveland, Indianapolis?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, Indianapolis, Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Is your name Sean?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, we\u2019re halfway there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: All right. Hey, I believe that the delegates won\u2019t change their support for Obama just for the simple fact that they believe in the same thing that he does. They believe in nothing, and the hate for our free country. I think they\u2019d rather not cling to the truth but rather &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The Democrat Party wants to win. The biggest obstacle the superdelegates are going to have, with throwing both of these candidates out, is that one of them is black. That\u2019s the biggest obstacle to the Doomsday Option being implemented.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Give the Democrats Senator McCain, and we pick our own nominee all over again &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; so delicious. It\u2019s so disappointing it can\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It\u2019s a disaster, folks, in the Democrat Party now.
