RUSH: It\u2019s to even expand it.<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s J.C. in Belton, Texas. J.C., great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you. I realize as a caller my job is to bolster your brilliance, and —<\/p>\n
RUSH: No, no! No, no, no! Well, in a manner of speaking.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (chuckling)<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s to even expand it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I\u2019d like to do that by pointing out that the left is doing it too. Your dissertation on the fact that they have nothing to run on? They proved it very simply. After eight years of saying, “No growth is the new normal,” and then Trump comes along with a booming economy, what\u2019s the first thing they did after they realized that it wasn\u2019t a flash in the pan, that the booming economy was real? They started claiming that Obama did it!<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) That\u2019s exactly right. They\u2019re still trying to make that sale, by the way.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely!<\/p>\n
RUSH: They\u2019re still trying to say, “It\u2019s Obama\u2019s economy,” after Obama told everybody that this kind of thing couldn\u2019t happen anymore.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly. The contradiction! They said, “You know, we don\u2019t have anything to run on, so we\u2019re gonna claim Trump\u2019s economy because we were wrong.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you know, it\u2019s a great point. But do you notice every time they try to make that point, it kind of fizzles? Not even the media tried to build on that. We have yet to see… Look, I don\u2019t want to say this too loud \u2019cause they\u2019ll hear me and do it, but we haven\u2019t seen assembled panels of left-wing economic experts convene on CNN or PMSNBC or PBS or the New York Times podcast or whatever explaining how the current economy actually does have its roots in Obama policy. We haven\u2019t seen that. (chuckling) Nobody! They have come out and said, “It\u2019s Obama\u2019s economy.” I mean, a random Democrat here, random analyst\/commentator there.<\/p>\n

But there hasn\u2019t been in all-out effort to do so. About all they can do, if they were to be honest… The only way you could say that this is Obama\u2019s economy is that Obama took us to a point that we had no lower to go (chuckling), and so there was only one direction we could go when Obama got through. But they don\u2019t want to do that. I fully expect, J.C., that they\u2019re gonna continue trying to take that issue away from Trump by claiming that Obama did it. Obama himself has even joined this fray! The rare times Obama does pop up and say something, he has.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t think of the last time it was, but it even sounded a little — I don\u2019t know — childishly immature. (impression) “Well, you know this economy\u2019s mine, right? (sputtering) I — I — I did this, and Trump\u2019s out there, and he\u2019s claiming credit, but everybody knows that it was me! I — I — I built the foundation for this,” and it really fell flat. But I think that is a great, great point. The Trump economy is so good, they\u2019re trying to say Obama did it. Thank you, J.C.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hell\u2019s bells, folks, the Democrats have been complaining about all the Obama stuff that Trump has been unraveling. “Trump\u2019s unraveled this! Trump\u2019s unraveled that!” They\u2019ve been whining about it. Now they come along and they want to try to claim that the Trump economy is Obama\u2019s? I\u2019m telling you, they\u2019re wandering aimlessly in a policy desert, folks — and it\u2019s one of the explanations for this wacko, insane, extreme behavior. Now, do not misunderstand. This is who they are daily. I\u2019m just saying that they are at their wits\u2019 end now because they have nothing to run on.<\/p>\n
They are so out of things to run on that they have been reduced to saying that they\u2019re running against white supremacists, and they\u2019re gonna give everything away to everybody. They are becoming, in certain quarters, a genuine laughingstock. This… This… What do you want to call it? This pride, this pool, this array of candidates is a laughingstock. A lot of people are watching these debates for the yuks of it. They take themselves sooo seriously.<\/p>\n
They do not see that, and they make the mistake thinking that everybody in America agrees with them on Trump and white supremacy and white nationalism, and they do not… I don\u2019t think they know how much they\u2019re marginalizing themselves within the base population of the country. Again, it doesn\u2019t look like this because they\u2019ve got the media on their side, and the media normalizes all this. But don\u2019t doubt me on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
