RUSH: Here is Mike in Reading, Pennsylvania. Hello, sir. Great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Hi, Rush. Super mega dittos from the formally blue state of Pennsylvania. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m good, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I wanted to just touch base with these Trump rallies. Back December 10th, I had the privilege of attending the rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania — an incredible rally, energetic. It was awesome. I didn\u2019t get to do the Wildwood, New Jersey, one last night as much as I wanted to. But I watched a lot of it on TV, you know, and on the iPhone and so forth. The energy that I am seeing coming out of New Jersey actually has me excited. I was listening to the news report this morning that said 26% of the people that attended that rally last night in Wildwood, New Jersey, were Democrats. Now, I don\u2019t know if that number is true, if that\u2019s accurate. But if it is, that\u2019s incredible, and just as Pennsylvania was once blue and went red —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let me give you the numbers out of New Jersey. These numbers, by the way, come from Brad Parscale, who is the Trump campaign manager. At every rally they go in and thoroughly focus group… Well, they don\u2019t focus group. They find out who\u2019s there and ask them various questions, and here\u2019s what Parscale released last night<\/a>: There were 158,632 requested tickets, 92,841 sign-ups. Meaning some people asked for two tickets. There were 92,000, almost 93,000 people wanted to go to this thing. Well, no, 160,000 wanted to go and 92,000 signed up. Of the people that showed up, 73,482 voters were identified.<\/p>\n

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

Meaning 73,000 people there were registered to vote. Of that 73,000, 10.4% did not vote 2016, 26.3% of the 158,000 who requested tickets — a little over one-fourth of the requested tickets — were Democrats. So if you put this… That is amazing data: 10.4% didn\u2019t vote. The fact that they show up at the rally indicates they\u2019re energized, they\u2019re gonna vote — and a quarter of them were Democrats in New Jersey. Now, it\u2019s a good thing you didn\u2019t make it because you would have probably been part of the 100,000 people lined up outside who didn\u2019t get in. Trump addressed them. You think he maybe could flip New Jersey and make it red.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Trump said about that last night…<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: You have to get out and vote Republican. Get rid of these clowns!<\/p>\n

CROWD: (cheers)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: And you have to get out and vote for really a brave man. What he did was incredible. Jeff Van Drew.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (cheers)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: What he did was incredible. Get out and vote. He\u2019s gonna have a big victory. He\u2019s gonna have a big victory. You know, they all say Republicans can\u2019t win. Tell me why. They said, “Should you move this to the Meadowlands?” I said, “No. I want to be in South Jersey. We want to be with our friends.”<\/p>\n

CROWD: (roaring cheers)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: But we could have filled up the Meadowlands Arena two or three times. Maybe we\u2019ll do it during the summer. Should we do it during the summer?<\/p>\n

CROWD: (roaring cheers)<\/p>\n
