RUSH: Portland, Maine. This is Paul. Welcome, sir. Great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. I think I heard in your peroration, your initial lead-up to this, that we have facts on our side and most people are not that stupid to buy into the illogical, fake things that they\u2019re saying about Trump. And unfortunately, I\u2019m not as hopeful as you, because I\u2019ve seen a track record of rewriting the history books. I think the left will rewrite the history books and Trump will ultimately be remembered as a stupid, evil, inept, illegitimate president —<\/p>\n
RUSH: At some stage of the history books that will be true, but I think there\u2019s also gonna be a period of time where Trump is gonna be mentioned in the top-10 all-time greatest presidents ever, at a certain stage of American history. The winners write history, and we don\u2019t know who\u2019s gonna win this yet. I think Trump\u2019s gonna get reelected. I think the Democrats are in the process of imploding.<\/p>\n
Now, what does imploding mean? I don\u2019t think they\u2019re self-destructing. I mean that their objectives are imploding. I think when you heard me say that the left is not succeeding \u2019cause they don\u2019t have facts on their side, I\u2019m talking about the immediate things right in front of us. I\u2019m talking about the fact in 1988 the media had a news monopoly and they could literally destroy anybody they chose to on a moment\u2019s notice, without much effort. Because there wasn\u2019t any pushback.<\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t any alternative media. If this were 19 — let\u2019s say everything is the same — well, it wouldn\u2019t be the same \u2019cause Trump wouldn\u2019t have gotten elected if it was prior to 2016. So, you know, the hypothetical game is a toughie, but let me still manufacture a hypothetical anyway. If there was no so-called alternative media, Trump would have been destroyed in the first six months of his presidency. They would have succeeded in getting rid of him.<\/p>\n
If there was no counter to the New York Times lies and fake quotes and made up garbage from the so-called intelligence community about Trump being a Russian agent, if there had been no pushback — my only point is not too long ago, the effort that they have mounted to get rid of Donald Trump would have succeeded in less than six months. They have failed in three years. Four now if you count the campaign. And they are frustrated to no end by it.<\/p>\n
And I believe that a certain percentage of the motivation these people use every day to do their job is they\u2019re still trying to prove to themselves they can do this. They\u2019re still trying to prove to themselves that they are the primary organizers of public opinion. They aren\u2019t anymore. They have a lot of ammo. They fire it. But they haven\u2019t defeated Trump yet. And in several key policy areas, he is running rings around them.<\/p>\n
If you look at the U.S. economy, if you look at jobs and wages, any number of things. And let me get to these polls. This is just phenomenal. And believe me, do not think the Democrats are not aware of this. We now have three new polls, Trump\u2019s approval rating among black voters has quadrupled. This has never happened in our lifetimes. A white Republican president has never had the approval rating in the African-American or Hispanic communities that Donald Trump has.<\/p>\n
Among many things, it means that the media\u2019s efforts to propagandize and indoctrinate people into automatically hating Donald Trump isn\u2019t succeeding. They\u2019ve already got their base that believes the New York Times are Democrats and loyalists, and those people don\u2019t have to be persuaded, they automatically hate anybody who\u2019s a Republican.<\/p>\n
But who in their right mind would have ever believed that any Republican would have come along and gotten these approval rating numbers in the African-American community? Rasmussen, 34.5%, Emerson, 34%, now Marist is out. Rasmussen, the left doesn\u2019t accept it. They think it\u2019s tainted Republican. But Emerson and Marist are gold standard left-wing polls, accepted. Thirty-four and 33% approval, African-American approval of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s things like this poll that tell me that the Democrats and the media are failing. How can this be? With all the hatred, with all of the negative. I mean, in all news coverage the percentage of it that is even neutral to Trump is less than eight. Ninety-two of all coverage of Donald Trump is oppressively, insultingly negative. And yet his approval numbers in the African-American community have quadrupled. And don\u2019t doubt me when I tell you Democrats have noticed this and are panicked by it.<\/p>\n
And if they lose, if this manifests itself as something like a 10% drop in African-American support for a Democrat presidential candidate, it\u2019s over. Say sayonara. If Trump could get 10 to 12 to 15% of the black vote, it\u2019s over for the Democrats. And don\u2019t think that they don\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n
