<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Michael in Broward County, Florida. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network and Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi. What a privilege it is to finally get through to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you did.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: I am too. I wanted to talk to you about a couple different things, and I\u2019ll make it as quick as possible \u2019cause I\u2019m very busy today. One was that Kavanaugh hearing really sent me over the edge. I\u2019ve been a union member, Teamsters and ATU for over 30 years, and I got out of the union because I don\u2019t want one penny of my money ever going to the Democrats again.<\/p>\n
RUSH: When did you get out?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Just this last month here, I withdrew from the ATU.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Really, so it was the Kavanaugh thing that finally pushed you over the edge?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. That was the Democrats, their behavior. And I\u2019ve always been nonparty affiliated my whole entire voting life. I\u2019m 55, and I vote in every election. Trump was the first person I ever voted for that got elected. I\u2019ve always kind of gone with the underdogs, the ones that… The long shot. And —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, that had to feel pretty good. You stop and think of people, all the times they voted and maybe voted for someone that\u2019s never won. That could be kind of a downer. I hadn\u2019t thought of it that way. My candidates usually always do win. But this is the first time you voted for somebody who did?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. And —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Really makes you want to keep doing it; right?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. Well, like I said, this coming election I plan to vote all Republican and I\u2019m thinking of becoming a Republican because of Trump and you!<\/p>\n
RUSH: Aw, that\u2019s great.<\/p>\n
CALLER: One other thing I wanted to talk to you quickly here, Andrew Gillum. You know, I was noticing in the polls here that he was not up in front \u2019til like the very last. And I was almost wondering if it was the Democrats trying to do with their identity politics and conspiring to put the guy that they think that, well, he\u2019s a black man and we have a lot of blacks in Florida; so maybe we should put him up here \u2019cause he\u2019s got a better chance of voting. And I\u2019m surprised I never heard you discuss that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I have to admit, the Andrew Gillum kind of showed up late on my radar. You know, I am a nationally focused political analyst and media star. And he came upon my radar very late. You could be right that that was the strategy of the Democrat Party in nominating the guy, but he still had to go out there and win it and so forth. But the idea that they play identity politics is entirely, entirely possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
