He was never in it! He just did it to get some quick money. He shows up for one debate, tries out a couple of liners, tries out a couple things about carrying a torch, new generation, see how it flies. Went nowhere, is getting out. Never got into it to win in the first place. In fact, there are a lot of Democrats in this race probably not in it to win. They\u2019re probably in it to arrange money.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-314746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-070819-Swalwell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-070819-Swalwell.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-070819-Swalwell-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you whose showing is surprising people &#8212; and it\u2019s none of the ones you would think &#8212; it\u2019s that Marianne Williamson hasn\u2019t been dispatched yet, you know, the hippie babe from the seventies, love conquers all, get rid of everything but love and so forth. Got some people curious, you know, where does that fit in the Democrat Party. Well, it fits in a previous era of the Democrat Party, although not now.<\/p>\n<p>This is Dan in Lansing, Michigan, as we head back to the phones. Great to have you. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, I just wanted to say that it\u2019s nice to have warm sunshine here in Michigan in this free land that we have. My mom and dad, dad was a World War II vet in the Navy and my mom was one of the Rosie\u2019s Riveters and they\u2019re still alive. As a Gold Star father, I learned from my parents what the word &#8220;winning&#8221; really meant.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. You learned from your parents what the word &#8212; what does it really mean?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, it\u2019s how I grew up, Rush. You know, the fact is is that, you know, we talk about all these politicians and the hypocrisy that the Democrats have is that they don\u2019t care if we win or lose. Then why do they run? What is the purpose? Why are they trying to beat Trump, if they don\u2019t care who wins or loses, they just want to further their agenda. And the hypocrisy of that is such that it\u2019s just amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Dad was in World War II. They won the war, it was something we cherished. Then he came home and did what he did. My brother was a Marine in Vietnam. Same thing. You know, we went over there and we wanted to win. My oldest son is in Afghanistan. So the idea of winning is not to be inhumane. It\u2019s the fact that there\u2019s some serious pride in this country, and being a speaker now traveling the country I\u2019ve seen patriotism across this country that people haven\u2019t ever seen and won\u2019t ever be televised.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019re talking about winning in war. Democrats want to win, and you\u2019re saying they talk about winning &#8212; you\u2019re talking about war. Democrats use phrase like &#8220;imposing freedom&#8221; on people. That we have done that. The United States has imposed its way life. How do you impose freedom on people? Freedom is not an imposition. The fact is the Democrats\u2019 aims &#8212; and this is even beyond the current era of the American left, Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve not been upset with America losing. Look at the way they tried to secure defeat for America in the Iraq war. Anything that allows the left and the Democrat Party to point fingers at the military and to be critical of it, why, they will take that every chance they get, even if it means the United States losing a battle or losing a war. And I can tell you the generation you\u2019re from resents the hell out of that, and it\u2019s true. They have had that attitude about war. But they want to win as much as anybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: He was never in it!
