RUSH: “Van Jones: ‘People Are Depressed\u2019 By Primary Process, Just Want ‘Somebody to Vote for Against Trump.\u2019\u201d<\/a> Okay. Why do you think Democrats are depressed by this? You\u2019ve got Bernie Sanders who is trying again after having had it taken away from him in 2016. Now you have all these other people. You had Kamala Harris — by the way, is her stock as a potential VP now rising vis-a-vis the black vote and Biden may be going south? I find this fascinating.<\/p>\n

\u201cVan Jones on Tuesday said he thinks that Democratic voters \u2018are depressed\u2019 and \u2018sad\u2019 over the Democratic primary process, saying that it is a \u2018messy, confusing choice\u2019 and Democrats \u2018just want somebody to vote for against Trump.\u2019 \u2018I think people are depressed,\u2019 Jones said while discussing the large split of Democratic votes. \u2018I think people are sad. I think people can\u2019t figure out which of the people they\u2019re supposed to vote for, and people are waiting to come out and vote against Trump.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, you know what this says — I mean, if this is true, if he\u2019s right about this, “I think people can\u2019t figure out which of the people they are supposed to vote for\u201d this party is guaranteed to lose. Now, that may be a risky thing to say this far out. But, if there\u2019s not even one candidate in this whole shebang that is inspiring people to want to vote for them for reasons having nothing to do with Trump, I mean, you would think that you want to vote for somebody because of what their vision is or what they want to accomplish or what they want to help you accomplish.<\/p>\n

But these people have got it in their head, they are so poisoned with Trump hatred that that\u2019s all they want. It\u2019s no wonder they\u2019re depressed because they\u2019re looking at this seeing nobody who can beat Trump. That\u2019s the bottom line. I think this depression that Van Jones has recognized can be traced directly back to the Drive-By Media. All of these Democrats immerse themselves in it. They immerse themselves in the New York Times and the Washington Post and PMSNBC and CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, take your pick, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and they get a steady diet of nothing but Trump hatred. That\u2019s all it\u2019s been for four years.<\/p>\n

But the problem is that same media has been promising these people that Trump is going down. They promised people that there was evidence Trump was a traitor. They promised their readers and viewers that there was evidence Trump had meddled in the election and stole it. They promised. They had sources, named and unnamed, anonymous. They had the goods. They were gonna get Trump. It was only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

Then here comes Schiff and his merry band of impeachers, and they were gonna get Trump. And it\u2019s been one gigantic blob of disappointment after another, despite promise after promise after promise that Trump was going down. So, the fact that these Democrats are depressed I think has more to do with the fact that they can\u2019t understand how the media\u2019s been so wrong. The media assured them. The media is their religion. The media is their gospel. The media promised them that Trump did it, that Trump cheated, that Trump stole.<\/p>\n

The media promised them that Trump said all these things that he hasn\u2019t said and done all these things that he hasn\u2019t done. And the media that made all these promises and the Mueller team that made all the commitments, there hasn\u2019t yet been an apology. There has yet to be a mea culpa. There has yet to be the media saying, “You know what? Yeah, we kind of blew it. Yeah, we were kind of wrong.”<\/p>\n

The media\u2019s not trying to find out who lied to them. The media\u2019s not trying to find out who misled them. You ever think anything about that? Isn\u2019t that interesting. Because the media wasn\u2019t lied to. The media was not misled. The media was part of this. The media were coconspirators in this, in an attempt to create a groundswell of public opinion among Trump voters to abandon him. And that\u2019s another thing they\u2019re depressed about.<\/p>\n

So now Van Jones says that this depression is about the candidates. “Yeah, there just doesn\u2019t seem to be anybody that knows who to vote for. Who are they supposed to support so they can defeat Trump?” This party is in a bigger mess than anybody knows. And there are a lot of people that are acknowledging the Democrat Party\u2019s in a mess.<\/p>\n

\"\"It is in a big, big mess. I\u2019ll tell you one of the reasons why. (interruption) What are you laughing about? (interruption) What… (interruption) Would you stop throwing wrenches in this? So Snerdley says, \u201cWhat if Biden comes back in South Carolina?\u201d What would that mean? You mean wins it? (interruption) I hope it happens. If Biden comes back, gets enough delegates in South Carolina, that\u2019s just gonna delay the pain. That\u2019s just gonna create more illusion of things that aren\u2019t true.<\/p>\n

I think this is such a classic example of what happens. They have lost their ability to connect, the party, the party\u2019s lost its ability to connect with its own voters. But I\u2019ll tell you, this Trump hatred has never been rational, and the irrationality has been amplified to the point that it\u2019s delusional and almost poisonous. And you see the results of it. And it\u2019s infected everybody on the left and the media. It\u2019s infected elected Democrats and so forth. I think this is just a fascinating thing to admit: \u201cPeople can\u2019t figure out which of the people they are supposed to vote for, and people are waiting to come out and vote against Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, essentially, they don\u2019t care. They don\u2019t care who the nominee is. “Just get us to November!” Well, where is this enthusiasm? The enthusiasm he says is there isn\u2019t showing up yet in the Hawkeye Cauci or in New Hampshire. Democrat turnout is anemic, and in the Millennial age-group it was 11% in New Hampshire. It was nothing. Let me find this. Let me see. (muttering) Hang on. I\u2019m looking for Mark Penn. Mark Penn…<\/p>\n

Hang on just a second here. I think I\u2019m already out of order in the… (interruption) Number 14, yeah, but I need to see what comes before it and after it, and… Okay, Mark Penn is warning the Democrats that if Biden doesn\u2019t come back, Trump is gonna steal African-American votes. This was last night on Fox Business Network. Wall Street Journal editor Gerry Baker was talking to Mark Penn.<\/p>\n

PENN: If Biden, uh, comes back, it will be because, uh, there is a deep love for him within the African-American community. If he doesn\u2019t — and that vote is drifting. Right now, that vote will not really have as big a turnout as it would have had because they\u2019re not really energized as yet by any of these candidates, and none of these candidates has a history of energizing African-American voters. Meanwhile, President Trump is making an all-out attempt to get African-Americans voters, and his favorability there has risen from about 10 to close to 25, particularly with African-American men.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: I would say, then, that they are in deep doo-doo, because old Joe ain\u2019t coming back to the degree he needs to come back to save the African-American vote, \u2019cause that would mean he\u2019s gotta get the nomination. Do you think that he\u2019s got any way of getting the nomination? Remember I said 11 months ago, he\u2019s not got a prayer, and you know that I\u2019m not wrong about this, no matter what you think these people are talking about now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
