<\/a>They gave it everything they\u2019ve got. It has blown up in their face. I\u2019ve even got a story in The Stack<\/a> today, somebody writing about the dismal failure of Robert Mueller, how he has blown his lifelong reputation. Everything is crashing down on these people. Right now. It may change, but I\u2019m gonna have fun with it while it happens. Now, let me give you a flavor of what I\u2019m talking about. I have here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a story by Alexander Bolton in The Hill:<\/p>\n“Democrats Express Alarm Over Debate\u2019s Negative Tone.”<\/a> What they are really upset about is Tulsi Gabbard going after Kamala, but it extends beyond that, and there are Democrats across the spectrum who are starting to realize just how bad it looks, these debates and these candidates. Now, this story says, “Democratic lawmakers were left shaken and worried by Wednesday night\u2019s bruising presidential debate, which left some fearing the fight will hurt the party and result in a damaged nominee.<\/p>\n “Senate Democrats are frustrated that candidates are spending too much time and effort attacking each other for relatively small policy differences…” They\u2019re going after Obama because they have go after Biden. They are eating themselves. It\u2019s a circular firing squad. These are supposedly the smartest people in the world and it\u2019s wonderful to watch, and now these media people… Again, this is another bit of conventional wisdom that isn\u2019t true!<\/p>\n Every primary features a party with multiple candidates shooting at each other. What do you think happened in 2016? I\u2019ll bet you somebody wrote a story back then that the Republican primary is going to produce such a damaged nominee that the party will have very little chance of prevailing in November. They say this every primary season, and it\u2019s hokum! What happens during the primaries ends, it gets set aside, and traditionally everybody unifies behind the nominee, and all this stuff is forgotten.<\/p>\n Which is why we spend time on it now because it\u2019s so much fun. But the Democrats are strangers to this. They have been unified for three years in what they thought was universal disgust and hatred for Trump, and so they thought their primaries were gonna be nirvana. Can you imagine 20 people ripping Donald Trump to shreds every night? They couldn\u2019t wait for these debates. Remember?<\/p>\n They were thrilled; they were excited; they couldn\u2019t wait; they were selling the popcorn. This was gonna be an anti-Trump fest like we\u2019ve never seen. They\u2019re gonna be able to add on the Mueller report to it, they\u2019re gonna be talk about Trump colluding — and now look what\u2019s really happened. They\u2019re tearing themselves apart. They\u2019ve got nominees saying, “It\u2019s too late on climate change” destroying all fundraising on it, by the way. “It\u2019s too late. We gotta move our people to higher ground!”<\/p>\n They thought it was gonna be one of the biggest unifying anti-Trump periods in the campaign, establishing again that they have no control over what is happening here. Yet these are the same people that want to control the economy. They can\u2019t control the degradation of their own cities. They can\u2019t control the hygiene, the cleanliness, the economic health of their own cities — and yet they\u2019re out there making the case that you have no business running your life.<\/p>\n They need to, because you can\u2019t be trusted to do the right things with your life. So Democrat “lawmakers were left shaken and worried by Wednesday night\u2019s bruising presidential debate,” because they thought it was gonna be an anti-Trump festival. “Senator Chris Murphy (Democrat-Connecticut) blamed the debate moderators for much of the negativity. ‘I think these debates are really silly. Just the incessant focus on these relative minor divisions between candidates might make for good TV but I don\u2019t think gives people an accurate portrayal of…'”<\/p>\n Hey! The Democrats agreed to this. The Democrats agreed to these rules where every one of their bumbling candidates only gets one minute. They agreed to rules which allows a moderator that thinks a jet flew through a black hole to interrogate them, and then tell them when their time\u2019s up. The Democrats agreed to this. They agreed to the moderators. They agreed to the format. They made it happen so that you need two debates to get every candidate on stage \u2019cause you can\u2019t do it all in one night.<\/p>\n The Democrats made this bed. But I love the Democrats blaming the media. I mean… Pfft! The Democrats have no idea what an adversarial media is. The Democrats have no idea what it is to have to have the media as an opponent in addition to your electoral opponent. The Democrats are used to a groveling, smarmy, sniveling, sycophantic bunch of accomplices helping smooth the waters and overcome their mistakes.<\/p>\n Now the media, because the rules they agreed to, is highlighting the incompetence, the lack of intelligence, the unpreparedness and the lack of qualifications for 95% of the people seeking the office. Try this story… Oh! Oh! Let me tell you where it\u2019s leading, how bad it\u2019s gotten — and this is just one story. I\u2019ve got other stories here about the panic. “The Forehead,” Paul Begala, is in panic over what he\u2019s seeing.<\/p>\n Rahm Emanuel is in panic over what he\u2019s seeing. They\u2019re all in panic over Tulsi Gabbard because they think she\u2019s a Russian plant! I ain\u2019t lying. I\u2019m not making it up. They think that she is colluding with Russia like Trump still is and that she is actually angling for becoming a third-party candidate to split the Democrat vote. This is what they\u2019re telling themselves.<\/p>\n Now, folks (chuckles), if you\u2019ve got that idiot Michael Moore running around begging Michelle Obama to get in the race — and, by the way, she\u2019s telling him to go pound sand. She doesn\u2019t want any part of it. She doesn\u2019t want to give up her lavish lifestyle. She doesn\u2019t want to be part of this. (That\u2019s what she says now.) So now they\u2019re turning on Marianne Williamson.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve got 20 people running for the presidency, one of them is a former vice president, a bunch of governors, some senators, and they\u2019re now telling each other that Marianne Williamson holds the key? How bad must it be?<\/p>\n And when David Brooks chimes in (imitating Brooks), “If only, if only Donald Trump were not president, we could have an interesting debate over whether private health insurance should be illegal. If only Trump were not president, we could have an interesting debate over who was softest on crime in the 1990s. If only Trump were not president, we could have a nice argument about the pros and cons of NAFTA.”<\/p>\n This is delusional. If only Trump weren\u2019t president we could have an interesting debate over private health insurance? What\u2019s Trump got to do with it? The Democrats are proposing getting rid of that! What is happening to people? It\u2019s the Democrat Party, as a party, that wants to get rid of private health insurance, health insurance provided by your employer.<\/p>\n Do you know how many Americans get insurance through their employer? Like 140 million, 160 million. The Democrat Party wants to wipe that out, replace it with Medicare for All, paid for by the middle class! People like their health care from their employer. That\u2019s why so many people have it there. It\u2019s something that\u2019s evolved that people like. Democrats want to take it away.<\/p>\n Somehow now it\u2019s Trump\u2019s fault that we can\u2019t have a debate about this? If only Trump were not president, we could have an interesting debate over who was softest on crime in the 19 — Trump is gumming up the works. Why is Trump gumming up the works? Why can\u2019t we have a fair debate? We can\u2019t have a fair debate because Trump doesn\u2019t play by Washington\u2019s rules. Trump calls out the liars. Trump points fingers at those genuinely, truly responsible.<\/p>\n And he goes on in his piece and eventually says that Marianne Williamson knows how to beat Trump. I\u2019m telling you if it\u2019s gotten to the point where Marianne Williamson is the only one who can beat Trump, as we sit here today, do you realize how much trouble these people are really in? And they know it.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-080119-Dem-Debate-AUG-Harris.jpg\")
We got Tulsi Gabbard destroying Kamala Harris and her whole reason for running, that she\u2019s a brilliant prosecutor that knows how to put Trump in jail. We\u2019ve got lunatics like Bill de Blasio and some of these other people that don\u2019t stand a prayer of getting the nomination, yet they are being allowed to define this party as radically insane and extreme — and there\u2019s no stopping it. This is the last thing they thought was gonna happen.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-073119-Democrat-Debate-JULY-19-Marianne-Williamson-1.jpg\")
So now I have here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers the latest column from David Brooks. David Brooks is the “conservative,” quote-unquote, columnist in the New York Times. David Brooks says that Marianne Williamson knows how to beat Trump<\/a>. Never Trumper David Brooks! There\u2019s a link on Drudge: Should Democrats Maybe “Take Marianne Williamson Seriously?”<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-080219-Trump-Drives-Them-Crazy.jpg\")
The Washington way is to blame nobody and have a debate over nothing and make it sound like smart people are talking about it so that eminent, smart solutions are right around the corner. Trump gets in and upsets everything by simply refusing to do things the way Washington does them, which results in nothing getting done for the better!<\/p>\n
