this story in the Politico<\/a> that \u201cPitches by some 2020 candidates aren\u2019t yet translating into a broad conversation about the needs of rural voters.\u201d And soft levels of support, \u201cPollsters say one of the most striking characteristics of this cycle\u2019s Democratic presidential primary is the relatively soft support for top-tier candidates, even after an intense focus on the race by the national media.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-South-African-Farm.jpg\")
\u201cThis almost certainly reflects the party\u2019s desperation to find a candidate who can defeat President Trump after its faithful were shocked by Democrat Hillary Clinton\u2019s loss in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do you realize how they are still shell-shocked over that and how they are still governed by that? And it\u2019s not so much that they can\u2019t believe Hillary lost as it is they can\u2019t believe Trump won.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think anybody in that party really thought Hillary Clinton was the greatest candidate. She was gonna be a great president as far as they were concerned in terms of advancing this wacko agenda continuing the work that Obama had started in transforming America and accomplishing this glass ceiling barrier of first female president.<\/p>\n
But as a person, Hillary Clinton\u2019s a dud. And she didn\u2019t even have a connection. She didn\u2019t even have a bond with enough voters in the Democrat Party to win. What has really stunned them is that somebody, who in their minds had no idea what he was doing, and in their minds may not have even wanted to win won and won big.<\/p>\n
Now, these people are filled with an insatiable ego. They need to think they are adored. They need to believe they are appreciated politically as provider. They think of themselves as parents of this gigantic family, and they\u2019re looking for appreciation from every voter for what the Democrats have meant to them personally. What they have, what obstacles they help overcome. And that\u2019s what is meant when they say there doesn\u2019t seem to be any strong level of support.<\/p>\n
What they really mean is that there str not too many people, even Democrat voters, who are tightly connected in terms of human sense, appreciation, gratitude, hope, all of this, that not one of these candidates is inspiring any of that, when that happens to be one of the primary approaches Democrats have always used to connect to people. “We love you. We care about you. We\u2019re going to protect you against those evil Republicans and conservatives and those Christians.”<\/p>\n
They have believed from the beginning of this primary process that any one of these people could beat Donald Trump. They still believe that Trump is going to be beaten as much as they thought he was going to be beaten in 2016. That\u2019s what they can\u2019t come to grips with. So now they have a twofer to deal with. There is nobody in that field that generates any real excitement. And you know it as well as I do. You can see it.<\/p>\n
Biden\u2019s back up in front, but Joe Biden does not connect with people. His wife admits it. (imitating Jill Biden) “Hey, you know what? There may be better candidates than old Joe, but I don\u2019t think any of them can win like Joe can.” You mean the least talented candidate is your best prospect? Is what Joe\u2019s wife is saying.<\/p>\n
Now we have news that one of the stars, one of the potential stars so-called African female, tough prosecutor, gonna come in on a debate with Trump, she was gonna mop the stage with Trump. Kamala Harris, star of the Senate Judiciary Committee interrogations of Kavanaugh and others, she has plummeted 12 points in the latest CNN poll.<\/p>\n
And all that it took for this to happen, remember what it was? (interruption) Mr. Snerdley! Way to go. Tulsi Gabbard in two minutes took Kamala Harris out of the race. Two minutes! You can\u2019t take somebody out of the race who has a deep bond or connection with voters. You can\u2019t do that in two minutes.<\/p>\n
Folks, this matters. This is the one advantage Trump is going to carry throughout this race. I don\u2019t care what the issues end up being, I don\u2019t care what the political professionals tell you, there isn\u2019t a single one of these Democrats that is gonna come anywhere near having a connection with his or her voters that Donald Trump has with his. And that matters in ways that you cannot understand.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-080119-Gabbard-Harris-CNN.jpg\")
It\u2019s why crowd side at rallies is a factor. It is why voter enthusiasm is a factor. It\u2019s always been a factor in politics. Because politics is its own genre of show business. Tulsi Gabbard in two minutes blew up the entire phony narrative Kamala Harris had created about herself as a prosecutor who cares about the downtrodden, a prosecutor who cares about people of color, a prosecutor who cares about the falsely charged.<\/p>\n
And she\u2019s just the exact opposite. This woman is such a law and order person that she made sure people stayed in jail longer than they should have. She didn\u2019t have any of the so-called Democrat compassion for the convicted class that the Democrats claim to have.<\/p>\n
As for Joe Biden, his handlers are afraid to let him out in public. They are canceling appearances. They\u2019re doing exactly what they did with Hillary. The less she was seen, the higher her numbers went. It\u2019s the same way with Plugs. Now they\u2019re sending Jill out there, Mrs. Biden, admitting that her husband\u2019s health care plan is not popular with Democrats, but he isn\u2019t, either, but maybe there\u2019s nobody but him that can beat Trump.<\/p>\n
And what is that health care plan, by the way, that isn\u2019t popular with Democrats? It has a name. Obamacare. (gasping) Plugs and Obama are linked and they can\u2019t be separated. Elizabeth Warren will be said to be surging now because of the crowd that she drew in Minnesota. She is a media creation. Kamala Harris has a glass political jaw. But all these people are media creations.<\/p>\n
If it weren\u2019t for the media basically being a collective PR team, writing puff piece stories about the humanity and the greatness and the compassion and the wonderfulness of these people, they couldn\u2019t sell that on their own because these people aren\u2019t that likable.<\/p>\n
Stop and look at the Democrat primaries and remember all the candidates up there. Who is the most likable among them? Who do you think — well, who would you say, Mr. Snerdley, honestly now, not a trick question. Whatever you think is what you think, but who is the most likable of the candidates you have seen so far? (interruption) Tulsi. Tulsi. Exactly.<\/p>\n
Why not Andrew Yang? What about Mayor Pete? Oh, yeah, Mayor Pete\u2019s an angry guy, folks. He\u2019s a bitter little guy, has to cover it up. Sometimes it leaks out. CNN poll, 2020 Democrats, Biden is 29%. That\u2019s up seven points since June. Crazy Bernie at 15. Fauxcahontas at 14. And then it\u2019s single digits. Mayor Pete at 5, Kamala Harris is down 12 points to 5%. Beto at 3%.<\/p>\n
Cory Booker — there\u2019s another one. Supposed to launch his Spartacus career from the Senate Judiciary Committee. Big, fat zero. And then there\u2019s Julian Castro. Next year maybe Julian. Tulsi is at 2%, she\u2019s up 1%, everybody else 1% or less. So this story on the Democrat side, Democrats fear levels of support, soft levels mark this year\u2019s primary.<\/p>\n
And to put this in perspective, the Democrats, because of their total loss of sense of proportion about Trump, they will never accept Trump as a legitimate winner and therefore they will never accept the truth about how he won. So they\u2019re always gonna be misjudging everything about Trump.<\/p>\n
The reason there are 20 Democrats running is very simple. They all are delusional. They all believe the vast majority of the country realizes the mistake it made in electing Trump. And now anybody, anybody can beat Trump. That\u2019s why 20 of them entered the fray. Enter the fray, you get “former presidential candidate” on your resume, you get money sent to you as a candidate, you get to collect that, you get to go on cable news as an analyst, “former presidential candidate.”<\/p>\n
Plus, you think you might actually maybe win because as a Democrat you know that nobody else in that primary\u2019s lighting it up. But what propels them is they believe that Trump is a guaranteed loser in 2020 just like he was in 2016. Then the other half of this, Democrats fear rural wipeout. Another one will reelect Trump.<\/p>\n
Here are the details here. This is from Politico. \u201cAs Democratic presidential candidates descended on the Iowa State Fair, a plane buzzed overhead, an ominous warning fluttering behind it on a banner: \u2018Focus on Rural America.\u2019<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-101618-Red-Map.jpg\")
\u201cDemocrats hoping to win the White House in 2020 recognize how critical that advice is after 2016, when Hillary Clinton turned in strong performances in many cities and suburbs but lost,\u201d the hick vote, which is how the Democrats look at it, not me, she lost the hick vote two to one.<\/p>\n
What do you think rural means to these people? It means hick. It means hayseed. They\u2019re never gonna go there. If they do, they\u2019ll be wearing latex gloves and masks as they report from rural America. ‘Cause everybody\u2019s a pig farmer. Shotgun, back of the pickup truck, gun rack in back window.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe presidential primary, often dominated by cultural issues and Trump-driven hot buttons, including immigration and race,\u201d is not helping the Democrats with rural voters. Mark Mellman, Democrat pollster, \u201cThere\u2019s good reason to worry because the reality is this: There\u2019s a fundamental values gap between the mainstream Democratic Party, which tends to be more socially liberal and cosmopolitan in its outlook, and rural and small-town voters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Well, he\u2019s right. The Democrats have no connection with hicks. The Democrats laugh at them. The Democrats make fun of rural voters. Rural voters are one of the reasons they\u2019re embarrassed to be American. Rural voters just disgust them. There\u2019s no way they\u2019re ever gonna have a connection. Point is, I don\u2019t care what you hear, the Democrats are not confident that they\u2019re gonna win. The political consults, professionals.<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s go to the Republican side of this. And again, this is Ron Nehring, spokesman for Cruz in 2016, the former chairman of the California Republican.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we head deeper into the 2020 election cycle, Republican activists and leaders face serious challenges if we are to put conservative solutions into action. … With media coverage and social media attention driven by the sensational, it\u2019s easy to get sidetracked by \u2018clickbaity\u2019 issues and personalities that pull our attention away from the real problems,\u201d that we face.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, here is a list of personalities that for the big picture may be fun to talk about,\u201d but they don\u2019t matter. They shouldn\u2019t gain any significant time from anybody. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Jeffrey Epstein and related conspiracy theories, the Clintons, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Julian Assange, Roger Stone, none of that, according to Mr. Nehring, is going to be a factor, and people who think that it is, people who think that continuing to remind people about the hoax, remind people about the Mueller investigation, how close we came to having a silent coup, waste of time, according to this guy\u2019s theory.<\/p>\n
What Republicans had better focus on if they have a prayer of winning is the economy. \u201cRepublicans have not won a presidential election in difficult economic times in 40 years. Republicans are hemorrhaging support in the suburbs, and California is the canary in the coal mine, not the outlier.\u201d<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-061219-California-Homeless-FLAG-B.jpg\")
That\u2019s simply his way of stating what I have often said, that California is the model the Democrats have for the rest of the country. It\u2019s not an outlier. It\u2019s not a place abnormal. It is entirely normal when Democrat policies prevail. California is what you get. His point is that every Republican ought to be scared to death of what has happened in California policy-wise and to the Republican Party because that\u2019s the model, that\u2019s what the Democrats have in mind, and that\u2019s what every policy of theirs is aimed at doing, particularly open border, illegal mass immigration.<\/p>\n
And the next target is Texas. Turn Texas into the next California, and you have pretty much eliminated any Republican electoral chance. \u201cWith much of rural America firmly Republican and Democrats equally solid in the cities, America\u2019s suburbs are the political battlegrounds. Recent polling shows Democrats making significant gains in suburban districts. Texas may be won or lost based on what happens in the communities outside Dallas.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimilarly, the suburbs outside Atlanta, Cleveland, Phoenix and Philadelphia could determine in which electoral college column their respective states fall in November 2020.\u201d Another word for the suburban vote is supposedly the educated female vote.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is Deborah, Eastern Shore, Maryland, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you today?<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m good. I\u2019m good. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you so much for taking my call. I\u2019ve lived abroad for the past 30 years, and I\u2019ve gotten to know the mind-set of socialists pretty well in that time period. And to see it happening now in the states —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. I was gonna say, you don\u2019t need to live abroad —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: — to see how socialism is unfolding and how it works. It\u2019s happening right here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly. Well, over the past 30 years I\u2019ve seen it seep into more of the American cultural as the years have gone by. And what I\u2019ve come to know and as you know and as your seasoned listeners know, that the socialists, slash, Democrats, liberals, like to place blame, and one of my theories about this whole recession narrative that they\u2019re pushing this past week or so is that they are setting up that in case, God forbid they do win the 2020 election, they will have their fallback, “Well, we told you the recession was coming. It is Trump\u2019s fault,” just in case their policies fail completely when they are elected.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Not “in case.” “When.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: When.<\/p>\n
RUSH: There isn\u2019t any doubt now that the policies these people are espousing — Medicare for All, Medicare for illegals, health care free paid by the middle class. The programs they\u2019re touting will cost $200 trillion dollars. There isn\u2019t any doubt they will fail. This is all just election sloganeering. But look, your point is well taken. I think that it\u2019s multifaceted, the strategy here. They are trying to convince as many people in the immediate short run that there is a recession and that one is coming if we\u2019re not there yet and that Trump is causing it.<\/p>\n
This is all about winning in 2020. Now, as an adjunct, if the recession does come, the economy slows down after they get reelected, “Well, we told you. That\u2019s why you elected us to deal with it and so forth.\u201d That\u2019s a good point. But I think like this inverted curve business, the stock market down 800 points one day last week, it\u2019s a dry run. It\u2019s a dry run to see if they can, when we get closer to the election, actually make people think the economy is tanking when it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
