RUSH: Here\u2019s Kasich. He\u2019s worried this impeachment stuff is gonna help Trump. Now, remember we have sound bites earlier today from Michigan. CNN went to Michigan. They wanted to go out and test how their impeach-Trump coverage is working, and it isn\u2019t. They found some people that had voted for Trump and had soured on Trump, but now they have turned back toward Trump because of impeachment.<\/p>\n

And they brought Van Jones on (paraphrased), “Oh, no! This is worse. This is bad. This is gonna be a mess. Oh, no!” I\u2019ve told you from the get-go this is not shaking out the way they dream. So moments ago on CNN a different infobabe on CNN, Brianna Keilar, had Kasich on there. Her question: “Most Republicans aren\u2019t saying what you\u2019re saying. I think we wonder if maybe they\u2019re thinking it as they work through some of this, but they\u2019re not saying it. Does not saying that normalize what the president has done and do long-term damage…?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s talking about here. My guess is it\u2019s something to do with the whistleblower. Basically what she\u2019s asking is, “Are the Republicans not criticizing Trump helping to normalize what Trump\u2019s doing?” Because remember, in CNN\u2019s world Trump is breaking the law by breathing every day — and when he\u2019s not criticized for breathing, if the Republicans don\u2019t join the criticism, then Trump breathing is gonna be normalized, and she\u2019s asking Kasich if that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n

KASICH: There\u2019s another thing we have to ask ourselves. Say the House passes impeachment resolution; it goes to the Senate and doesn\u2019t go anywhere. Let me ask this question. We all ought to think about this. Should we go forward with these proceedings — is this the most effective way — or do we let the people decide this in an election that\u2019s just around the corner?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, why would or would not be saying this? Why would he be trying to put the brakes on? Why would he, in his own way, be trying to keep his gig at CNN while telling them they\u2019re making a big mistake? Kasich is walking a tightrope here. He\u2019s basically asking them to come to the conclusion themselves that this is not gonna work. “Is this the most effective way? You guys realize that when this gets to the Senate it\u2019s gonna die, that Trump\u2019s gonna be acquitted?<\/p>\n

“What good is impeaching him if he is declared not guilty? Have you guys thought about that?” Yes, they have. That\u2019s why this is not a formal inquiry! This is why this is not impeachment! It isn\u2019t impeachment! They\u2019re just calling it that. Kasich is saying, “You know what? Wouldn\u2019t it be better just to beat the guy? Wouldn\u2019t it be just easier beat the guy in an election? Why are we doing all this?” We\u2019ll see if he gets invited back after this. This is two.<\/p>\n

This is two times now that Kasich\u2019s gone against the grain of the CNN narrative.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Apparently, folks, the reason why Kasich and some of these other people are now beginning to question impeachment is they want to primary Trump. Paul Sperry with this tweet<\/a>: “DEVELOPING: Impeachment threat convincing Kasich, other Never-Trump Republicans the president can be ‘primaried.\u2019 Kasich raising cash, visiting NH, while Romney backing Weld, and Kristol recruiting other late challengers.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So Bill Kristol, a Never Trumper, is trying to find people to primary Trump. “But it\u2019s too late: 4 states already canceled GOP primaries” to make sure Trump can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, Romney has decided to do it himself, instead of back Bill Weld. “Romney has been calling conservative donors asking about a potential 2020 primary run against Trump.” So right now, we have Romney and Kasich dreaming of primarying Trump. Just to keep you on the cutting edge here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
