RUSH: Here\u2019s this piece that I have been referring to all day. It\u2019s by Daniel McCarthy. Daniel McCarthy at Spectator USA. And the headline: Democrats are too fake for 2020. (paraphrasing) \u201cThe politics of recitation\u2019s enough for ordinary teams, but America\u2019s in the midst of serious change.\u201d I just want to give you a few pull quotes here because it dovetails nicely with my brilliant, unique observation that these people sound no different today, even though they\u2019re more radicalized and even though they are… I genuinely think they\u2019re deranged.<\/p>\n

Each one of them, in their own ways, is deranged. Some by virtue of anger and rage. Some by virtue of resentment. I think, for example, Mayor Pete. I think Mayor Pete runs around constantly resenting what he thinks Christians think of him because he\u2019s gay. Even though… I don\u2019t know how many personal insults he\u2019s heard, but he just imagines that they think this of him; so he\u2019s constantly ripping into them for it when he may not even have ever heard it, he just assumes it. They\u2019re all carrying some kind of baggage around that manifests itself as either victimology, rage, insecurity, or hatred.\"\"<\/a>And, as such, they portray an America that isn\u2019t as they describe it economically, they portray an America that isn\u2019t as they describe it psychologically. They portray an America that has no hope and has no future as currently constituted. They portray an America that has failed in many of its most important missions of fairness and equality and sustainability and usability and all of that. Go down the row both nights of the Democrat debates, you couldn\u2019t find anybody who was happy. You couldn\u2019t find anybody who seemed happy. They may be, but you couldn\u2019t find anybody who seemed it. You didn\u2019t find anybody who wanted to exude happiness. You didn\u2019t see anybody who wanted to actually laugh about things in general. You saw thin skin, you saw massive insecurity and constant rage and anger.<\/p>\n

Now, Mr. McCarthy writes here, (paraphrasing) “The Democrat Party is exhausted. With 10 candidates on stage Thursday then 10 others had taken the stage the night before, nothing substantially new emerged. The politics of recitation\u2019s enough for ordinary times perhaps, but this is an America in the midst of serious change, of a sort that requires thinking about entirely new configurations of politics. Ironically or not, Republicans and conservatives are the ones who have taken up that task. Conservatism today, the right is untamed and innovative today in a way that it hasn\u2019t been since Ronald Magnus left office and in a way that the left won\u2019t be until it breaks away from the predictable politics of Thursday\u2019s dreary debate.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it was dreary. And it was filled with rage and anger and hate. And I can\u2019t get over the willingness of these people to promote this hatred. I can\u2019t get over the eagerness, in fact, to portray this hatred. They don\u2019t make an attempt to even hold it back. They pummel people with their hatred. They do so proudly as though there\u2019s something infectious about it. There isn\u2019t anything infectious about hate. These people are constantly deriding hate, are they not? They\u2019re always calling their political enemies hatemongers, crisismongers; and yet they\u2019re the ones who are harboring hate, promoting hate, predicting hate, and exhibiting it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBernie Sanders was a bracing alternative to Hillary Clinton four years ago, but his message is now just repetition.Nothing makes him a different or better candidate than he was in 2016 even as the country has changed profoundly and the field of opponents he now faces is nothing like the one in one race with the Hildebeast. Mayor Pete had the best night after Kamala Harris, yet he, too, broke no new ground. He\u2019s smart, he\u2019s confident, but not, in the end, much different from any of the rest. There\u2019s hardly more variety in this 10-candidate field than there was in just the two-candidate Clinton Sanders race…\u201d<\/p>\n

You know that\u2019s a good way to put it. You had Hildebeast; you had Crazy Bernie; you had sameness; you just had differing characteristics. You had these 10 people on stage last night, there wasn\u2019t a shred of difference between them, in terms of what they believe. The things that made them different, of course, were their personalities, their degrees of confidence, their degrees of assuredness, their performance talent, or lack of. But aside from that, it was all the same.<\/p>\n

\"\"Every damn one of them is the same, and that\u2019s the point. It doesn\u2019t matter which Democrat you list, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, every lament, every complaint constantly the same. Now, the reason I bring this up, I\u2019m not just pointing this out for pointing it out\u2019s sake, I think this is hurting them in ways they don\u2019t even know. I don\u2019t think they have enough humility, folks, to understand how and when they are damaging themselves. I think they have the opposite of humility. They have an arrogance and a condescension. And they lie to themselves all the time. They accept their incorrect polling data all the time.<\/p>\n

They accept the fake news that they each report to each other. They end up believing it. \u201cTrump colluded, Trump stole the election, Trump\u2019s unjust, Trump shouldn\u2019t have been elected.\u201d They all end up believing the same stuff. The mistake they make — and they\u2019re making it over and over again, and it\u2019s the reason why they\u2019re willing to be so obviously filled with hatred — is they believe, in their arrogance and hubris, that they are the vast majority of people in the country. And they\u2019re not. America would not be the place it is if a majority of the people living here were like the people we\u2019ve seen on the debate stage the past two nights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
