Politicians of both parties unwittingly make me look like the genius I already am. Christopher Shays, moderate congressman from Connecticut who was sent packing on Tuesday, there are now no Republican members of the House from a northeastern state. So Christopher Shays decided to go on MSNBC and tell the Republican Party what it needs to do to win, after it just got wiped out. He was on with Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington. &#8216;We saw what happened to Sununu, had a lot of support, a lot of good marks in the Senate, but he couldn\u2019t go against what was going on in New England as well as on the Senate side.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"320\" class=\"alignright\"\/>SHAYS: Sue Collins had a terrific victory. She got more votes than Barack Obama, and she ran against a very competent opponent. So I think our party is going to do fine. Ultimately it\u2019s going to figure it out, and it\u2019s not that they weren\u2019t conservative enough, maybe in some areas being fiscally conservative I would agree, but being socially conservative to religious right, no, you\u2019re not going to be in the majority that way. You gotta reach out to African-Americans, you gotta reach out to Latinos, and you gotta be an inclusive party, and we aren\u2019t right now, but we will be, or we will be extinct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t know what to say to this, except good riddance. We just had our clocks cleaned. Congressman Shays just had his own clock cleaned. And this, by the way, typical Drive-By Media, you go to a Republican who lost and ask him how to win. He\u2019s as moderate as a Republican could get and he lost. We didn\u2019t reach out to Hispanics? Have you ever heard of amnesty? Have you ever heard of comprehensive immigration reform, meaningful, meaningful, comprehensive immigration &#8212; have you ever heard of that, Mr. Shays? We didn\u2019t reach out to blacks? This is just typical Northeast elitist attitude, &#8216;We cannot win with the religious right. You\u2019re not going to be in the majority that way.\u2019 How the hell did we do it in the eighties? How the hell did we do it in 1994? So this is just classic. Go to a candidate who lost, ask him what the Republicans need to do to win. This guy is as moderate as you could get. He\u2019s reaching across the aisle; he\u2019s reaching out; he\u2019s doing town meetings, swept away. In the midst of having the party\u2019s clock cleaned, the architects of the clock cleaning are now telling us that we didn\u2019t do what we did that got the clock cleaned in the first place, we need to do more of what we already did that got the clock cleaned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Man, things just keep falling into my lap here.
