RUSH: The Democrat Party\u2019s getting really, really worried now that Bernie Sanders could win the Democrat nomination.\u00a0 And the thing to keep in mind about that is that the Obama administration people despise the guy, and they have not been able to stop him.\u00a0 A lot of people… You ought to be very concerned. We all ought to be very concerned about it because the guy is nuts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He looks like this cranky old grandfather kind of Looney Tune that you tolerate at holidays, and he may be that. But he\u2019s also committed to this fully socialist agenda that would destroy everything we just described about the pinpoints of greatness in this country — great military, great economy. There is no way either literally survive as they are if somebody like Bernie Sanders is actually elected.\u00a0 So we\u2019ll have to delve into that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Democrat Party right now is… They\u2019re very worried, folks, about Crazy Bernie.\u00a0 Up \u2019til now, amazingly so, the frontrunner — without any question about it — has been Biden.\u00a0 There have been pockets of surprise here and there.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve had Bloomberg get in, show up at number three after a very little time in the campaign.\u00a0 The big news is that Judge Judy is gonna join Bloomberg out on the campaign trail.\u00a0 I just… (sigh) Anything can happen, but I don\u2019t see Bloomberg getting the Democrat nomination.\u00a0 He\u2019s not radical left enough. Well, he actually is, but they don\u2019t know it.\u00a0 But he\u2019s not gonna get it.\u00a0 There\u2019s one big reason why he\u2019s not gonna get it, and it has nothing to do with policy, it has nothing to do with party, has nothing to do with politics.<\/p>\n

And I don\u2019t even want to tell you why because… (interruption) Yeah, that\u2019s it.\u00a0 That\u2019s it. He doesn\u2019t have a prayer. He doesn\u2019t have a prayer, because of one thing that has nothing to do policy, party, politics, anything of the sort.\u00a0 It may be unfair; it may be unjust.\u00a0 But it is a reality that exists today in our TV culture.\u00a0 He does not have a prayer. It doesn\u2019t matter how much money he spends, he doesn\u2019t have a prayer.\u00a0 Well, he might have a prayer depending on who he prays to.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s such a long shot that it\u2019s practically a safe bet to be impossible.\u00a0 What\u2019s happening out there instead is that Crazy Bernie is creeping up, and this has people in the Democrat Party nervous as they can be — and on the Obama side, they\u2019re livid.\u00a0 They don\u2019t like this guy at all.\u00a0 The Obama administration, Obamaites, Obama supporters have no love whatsoever for Crazy Bernie.\u00a0 So let\u2019s go through some of these stories.\u00a0 Up first is from… (laughing) It says “New Week” here.<\/p>\n

This is the old Newsweek magazine, which, you talk about being obscure? They\u2019re it. But their headline nevertheless sparks an interesting discussion.\u00a0 “Bernie Sanders Dominates Democratic Candidates Among College Voters, New Poll Shows,”<\/a> and there\u2019s a poll (I saw it during the break) that a majority of high school students… Well, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a majority. A significant percentage of high school students love socialism, which led some people to ask, “Well, how is that possible?”<\/p>\n

\"\"How is that possible?\u00a0 Who the hell is teaching \u2019em!\u00a0 What do you think…? What do you think most teachers coming out of college today are?\u00a0 I mean, look, it makes perfect, logical sense.\u00a0 If you have people that are sympathetic to socialism and communism and they are teachers and they are teaching students, is it any surprise the students would end up being sympathetic?\u00a0 Throw out everything you know about the evils and the ravages of socialism and communism. Throw it out.<\/p>\n

You have to assume the people we\u2019re talking about don\u2019t know a thing about it like you do.\u00a0 All they know is what they\u2019ve been taught about it, how fair it is and how equitable it is, how equal it is, how nobody\u2019s made fun of and nobody\u2019s laughed at. Nobody\u2019s better than anybody else. Everybody has the same amount of stuff and everybody\u2019s concerned about the same things.\u00a0 There\u2019s no competition. There\u2019s no winners. There\u2019s no losers.<\/p>\n

This is what young people have been taught socialism is — and communism\u2019s even better.<\/p>\n

So a poll here. This is the “Chegg election tracker survey of Democrat or Democratic Party-leaning undergraduates across the U.S. saw Sanders close out of the year with 38% support… In addition to holding the most support of Democrat or Democrat-leaning college students, several general election polls last month also showed Sanders defeating President Donald Trump. An Axios… poll released in early December found Sanders pulled in 22.5% approval from college students of all political affiliations. Trump came in second with 17.3% approval, [Fauxcahontas] was third with 15.9% and Biden fell to fourth place” among college students with just 9%.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Washington Examiner editorial: “Bernie Sanders Is Not a Joke.\u00a0 He\u2019s Dangerous.<\/a> — Pundits wrote off Sen. Bernie Sanders\u2019s campaign back in October after his heart attack evoked the risks of nominating a candidate who would turn 80 during the first year of his presidency. But since then, Sanders has made a remarkable comeback \u2014 and not just in terms of his health.<\/p>\n

“Having climbed to second place nationally and raised a whopping $34.5 million in the fourth quarter, [Crazy Bernie] now finds himself leading in New Hampshire and tied for first place in Iowa, according to the latest CBS\/YouGov poll. … Sanders\u2019s candidacy is for real, and that means he must be taken seriously.”\u00a0 He was for real back in 2016 and Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party had that primary rigged against him.<\/p>\n

You know, if that thing had not been rigged, if Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz and Hillary had not gamed that, he likely would have won the 2016 nomination. And I think he knows it. He was a good soldier, he stood aside, let Hillary have her moment in the whatever. But he\u2019s inching up, he\u2019s inching up nationally now in second place behind Biden.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s leading in Iowa. He\u2019s leading in New Hampshire. He\u2019s in third place in South Carolina, second place Nevada, but he\u2019s inching up in all of these places. And the time to be inching up for Crazy Bernie is now.<\/p>\n

\"\"And here\u2019s the story from the Daily Beast. \u201cObamaworld Hates Bernie — and Has No Idea How to Stop Him.\u201d<\/a> Let me ask a question. If the Democrat Party is Obama\u2019s — and it is. It\u2019s not Hillary\u2019s, right? By the way, did you see that Hillary took the job as chancellor of a college in Ireland? That means she\u2019s leaving the country, right? (interruption) She\u2019s not? Oh, it\u2019s just a ceremonial gig? I thought it was a legitimate chancellorship. Oh, okay. I thought she was fleeing the country. I thought there might have been something to that. All right.<\/p>\n

Well, anyway, the Democrat Party is not Hillary Clinton\u2019s. It\u2019s Obama\u2019s. And if that\u2019s true, then what would stop an extremely well-funded, radical left candidate from running as a third-party candidate? Crazy Bernie, 78 years old, recovering from a heart attack, if he doesn\u2019t win the Democrat nomination, you think he\u2019s just gonna go away? It\u2019s his last campaign.<\/p>\n

You know, a bunch of Crazy Bernie supporters have said on previous occasions if he doesn\u2019t get the nomination they\u2019re voting for Trump. I don\u2019t know how many. I don\u2019t know what percentage. \u201cFormer President Barack Obama\u2019s top lieutenants are eager to poke every conceivable hole in Bernie Sanders\u2019 resurgent bid for the Democratic nomination. But ask about a coordinated effort to stop his ascending campaign and you\u2019ll get crickets. Less than a month before voting begins, Obama has declined to\u201d endorse anybody, particularly Biden.<\/p>\n

I was the first to tell you, I was the first to tell you that Obama wanted no part of Biden. But he wants no part of Crazy Bernie, either. And don\u2019t be surprised if in the midst of this you continue to hear a name tossed out randomly now and then, Michelle Obama. And when her name is tossed out, it will be along the lines of there\u2019s only one Democrat who can really beat Trump, and that\u2019s Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s gonna be strategically placed and leaked during the primary process. ‘Cause I\u2019m telling you right now, the smart money, the people that make a living following this stuff, Trump is 70-30 to win reelection, 70-30. There\u2019s also this, I should tell you. There is a line of thinking, 20% says that Trump may not run for reelection.<\/p>\n

He will just declare victory, say he has accomplished everything he set out to accomplish and go back to becoming king of the Trump Organization at Mar-a-Lago. Twenty percent, this is nothing formal. It\u2019s barely in one of the betting sites, which will put any proposition up and anybody can then vote on it, but at least it\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
