RUSH: Salena Zito is a great American journalist and writer working out of purpose. She writes for a number of places, the New York Post, Washington Examiner. She has a piece here at American Greatness. I never go for conventional wisdom and I\u2019m not a conformist. You\u2019ll never find me in that mob of people where supposedly resides the conventional wisdom. Not that I purposely find out what it is and avoid it. I literally am not part of it.<\/p>\n

Whatever the groupthink is, all my life I\u2019m not it. I\u2019m always outside it. It\u2019s why I would never have succeeded in the corporate world. I can\u2019t conform enough. Just can\u2019t do it. I tried it for five years. And after the first three, I was miserable. So I\u2019ve always found myself in thinking and in opinion outside the conventional wisdom. But I\u2019ve never understood why you want to think what everybody else thinks. I mean, habitually. Sometimes it can\u2019t be avoided because certain things are just obvious.<\/p>\n

But, as a matter of routine, I guess it\u2019s safe, and I guess it\u2019s a way to get admittance into a club, whatever the club is made up of. But I\u2019ve never been able to just automatically end up in the conventional wisdom category. And one of the bits of conventional wisdom every election — it doesn\u2019t matter — is the youth turnout is gonna shock everybody and is gonna send the Republican presidential candidate reeling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Every four years. Every four years we are told this. That the youth are livid. In this case, we\u2019re talking about Millennials and the generation behind them. That they\u2019re livid, they\u2019re fed up, they\u2019re not gonna put up with it anymore, they\u2019re gonna turn out, they can\u2019t wait, they hate Trump, they want to elect Biden, they want to get rid of the police, they love Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n

And then the election happens, and, you know what? They don\u2019t show up. The turnout of this magical youth vote never materializes, and yet every four years we are treated to how the youth vote is gonna rock the nation. Well, Salena Zito\u2019s piece, American Greatness, “Senior Citizens Will Be the ‘Deciding Factor\u2019 in 2020 Election.”<\/a><\/p>\n

And you know why? ‘Cause they always are. And you know why? Because no group turns out to vote in greater numbers, either in real numbers or as a percentage, than seasoned citizens. Do you know why that is? Because they\u2019ve lived long enough to know the stakes. They\u2019ve acquired enough knowledge, information and wisdom to believe that their vote can actually matter.<\/p>\n

They know more than people 30 years younger than them. And that\u2019s not an insult. I mean, you can\u2019t replace 30 years of experience or 30 years of living. Now, we hear all the time that the youths are gonna go out and they\u2019re gonna vote against Trump, that they can\u2019t wait. And then we hear the blacks are gonna do that. Oh, yeah. The blacks, Black Lives Matter, then the Hispanics. And then the college educated suburban women. Oh, yeah. And they hate Trump, and they can\u2019t wait to go and they\u2019re gonna get rid of Trump, and we\u2019re gonna get rid of Trump in 2016, couldn\u2019t wait to vote for Hillary.<\/p>\n

Now Salena Zito is telling us that it\u2019s gonna come down to what I think may be the most screwed up, messed up, generation in history, my generation, the Baby Boomers. Do you know what\u2019s wrong in this country, folks? The sixties never ended. That\u2019s what\u2019s wrong. We\u2019re still living the 1960s. We\u2019re still living the era of Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground, just under different names.<\/p>\n

They were never defeated. They just continue to plug away, and now they\u2019re Supreme Court justices and they are college presidents and they live and work in the State Department. They don\u2019t blow up buildings anymore, they get inside the buildings and corrupt what comes out of \u2019em. The Baby Boomers, who produced and educated the Millennials.<\/p>\n

She writes, ” “Over the past several decades, Republican presidential candidates have been able to win the senior vote, with only a couple of exceptions.” She talks about an ad here, presidential ad. “The most important bit of information in the ad is her age. She is 82 years old, and strategists and experts agree she and her peers may be the most important voting bloc in November\u2019s election. Not the suburban soccer mom, not the suburban security mom, not the NASCAR dad and not the,” youths.<\/p>\n

\"\"And Washington, D.C., based Democrat strategist John Lapp, who I never heard of, don\u2019t care, agrees. He says, quote, “I do think that seniors are the key demographic; the key swing group who will decide this question. Right now, Donald Trump\u2019s numbers with them are cratering, and they\u2019re moving away from him. People that he used to be able to count on are not there for him.” End of statement.<\/p>\n

“Four years ago, Trump won these voters by 7 percentage points. In the latest Washington Post\/ABC News poll, Joe Biden has a 10-point edge among registered voters nationally. The poll was taken at the end of May during the height of the pandemic shutdown, and before the riots and protests that followed George Floyd\u2019s death in police custody. It was also taken before the surge of Democrats who support defunding police swept the nation.”<\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen here, folks. Like I told you when the program began, I\u2019ve got a friend out there very frustrated that the media is covering up the fact that Joe Biden\u2019s brain isn\u2019t working. And I admit that that\u2019s a frustrating thing, but the media is who they are. The media is not going to highlight the shortcomings of the Democrat presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

And it was the same thing with Hillary. You know, Hillary had all kinds of physical problems. She couldn\u2019t get on the bus. She couldn\u2019t walk down stairs. Hillary Clinton, the worst thing that she could ever do was go out and be seen and heard in public. When she stayed quarantined and sequestered, her numbers went up. She was not a likable person.<\/p>\n

Well, Biden\u2019s got somewhat similar problems. He doesn\u2019t make sense when he speaks, and it\u2019s getting worse. It\u2019s getting really, really bad. But the Democrats are not gonna change a thing. They\u2019re not gonna replace him because Biden is never gonna be president. We don\u2019t really know who is gonna be president. That\u2019s the thing about Biden\u2019s candidacy. If Biden wins, somebody\u2019s gonna be president that didn\u2019t run for it, that didn\u2019t raise any money for it, that never once met any voters, that didn\u2019t go out and present his or her ideas.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s purely a placeholder. And largely because no other Democrat was able to oust him, and he can coalesce the black vote. If the Drive-By Media were to ever literally expose Biden\u2019s mental problems, it would be over. Now, I will say there\u2019s one caveat. The Democrat Party today and its voters are so consumed with raw, savage hatred that I don\u2019t think for a sizable percentage of them it would matter.<\/p>\n

Biden could be presented as the mental deficient that he is, and it wouldn\u2019t matter to them because their hatred of Trump is such that they would vote for a rabid bat instead of Trump. It doesn\u2019t matter. But there is a group of people to whom it would matter, and it\u2019s this very group Salena Zito is writing about, the seasoned citizens, because they know, they know about the problems with Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia and other shortcomings that result from having age related brain disorders. And Biden has plenty of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"And if they were ever to find out, if they were ever to see, if it were ever presented to them, just how lacking in mental acuity Joe Biden is, it wouldn\u2019t be a contest. They are not gonna vote for this. So the Democrat Party cannot afford for Biden to come out of the basement, particularly in an unscripted — like a debate — or just, you know, a random traditional press conference, they can\u2019t permit it. It\u2019s getting to the point where they can\u2019t even trust him on a teleprompter.<\/p>\n

Now, Joe Biden — remember in one of the debates where he just stopped in the middle of making a point that was senseless, nobody knew what he was talking about, he said, “My time\u2019s up.” You remember that? That was his out. When he said, “My time\u2019s up,” he\u2019s forgotten. He doesn\u2019t know what he was saying. He doesn\u2019t know what he was gonna say, he has no idea what he was talking about, no idea what to say next, so he\u2019s, “My time\u2019s up.”<\/p>\n

And he has a number of different behaviors like that that give away the fact that he can\u2019t maintain a train of thought. So I\u2019m telling you that the Democrats and the Drive-Bys, the media, are living in mortal fear. How do they literally keep this guy sequestered for the next 117, 18 days without people getting suspicious about it? The thing that helps him is COVID-19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
