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

RUSH: Now, I want to go back to this couple of sound bites that we played moments ago<\/a> with the Trump supporter demanding of Cruz to know (summarized), “How in the world do you get any delegates when there haven\u2019t been any votes? <\/p>\n

“How does that work? How do you get delegates when there haven\u2019t been any votes?” And I… (sigh) This is so hard for me. (sigh) Just… It seemed like a hanging curveball of a question. But I think what\u2019s going on here, is Trump has succeeded in convincing people that Cruz is establishment, and I think that\u2019s where this Cruz paralysis — if I can call it that — comes from, because the most surprising thing about all of this is that Cruz never, ever (nobody did) factored\/figured on running against Trump. All along Cruz was going to be running against the establishment. <\/p>\n

Cruz was the anti-establishment candidate. Cruz was the guy going to the floor of the Senate and calling out the Senate leadership. Cruz was the guy explaining how the Senate operates and nothing happens. All that really is important to most of them is being reelected, that they\u2019re not there to advance a party agenda — or a, let\u2019s say, conservative agenda. And because of that, Cruz was prepared for the entire Republican Party to be arrayed against him. And that\u2019s the way this was gonna fall out. <\/p>\n

Had Trump not gotten into this, Cruz would have been the outsider candidate, and the Republican Party — everybody from Jeb to Marco, you name it — would have been aligned against Cruz, and he would have owned that outsider position. He knew that they were gonna use every means at their disposal to beat him. So he knew he had to master the delegate rules in every state in order to have a chance to take these guys on. He was just planning way ahead. <\/p>\n

So what happens? <\/line><\/p>\n

In the midst of all this planning, Trump comes along, co-opts the anti-establishment position almost to exclusive ownership, all of the establishment candidates flop, and the only guy left standing who actually knows how the process works (because he had to know it if he was gonna have any chance to win against the GOP) is Cruz. So Trump paints him as the establishment guy even though Cruz is THE quintessential anti-establishment guy, because he\u2019s the one who knows how their process works and how to beat them at their own game, which is what Cruz has been doing. It is amazing the way this has all fallen out.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back to this Cruz-Trump situation. I want to try to explain some things here to you Trumpists — well, actually to everybody, because there\u2019s a lot of animosity that\u2019s being aimed at Ted Cruz from Trump people, allegations of cheating and all this kind of thing. That\u2019s really not what\u2019s happening here, and I want to go through this again because it\u2019s not relevant per se because it\u2019s not… I\u2019ll talk about what was going to happen if Trump had not gotten in the race, and do so to try to explain to you what Cruz is doing. <\/p>\n

What Cruz is doing is not targeting Trump. Cruz\u2019s plan was drawn up long ago before Trump even got in the race. So again — and that\u2019s what makes this so ironic and amazing about the Trump narrative that Cruz cheating and that Cruz is establishment, because Cruz was going to be the anti-establishment candidate, and he was going to be the only one. And if you think back prior to last June when Trump announced, when Trump got in, prior to all that, Cruz was the renegade. He was the Republican in the Senate, but he was running against the Senate.<\/p>\n

He was constantly running against the establishment. He had this term for them, “the Washington cartel,” and he knew that he was reviled. He knew. He purposely had created this persona because he wanted to own the anti-establishment position. He correctly identified the anti-establishment mood throughout the electorate. And his purpose, his strategy was to become the champion of everybody in the anti-establishment movement, anti-Democrat establishment, anti-Republican establishment. <\/p>\n

Now, at the time Cruz is strategizing and putting together his plans on how he\u2019s going to win — and stop and think of the monumental task here. Here\u2019s a guy in the Senate, and what is the conventional wisdom about Cruz? Everybody hates him, right? Nobody likes him in the Senate. People now used that to say, “Well, how can a guy govern? You\u2019ve gotta like people. People have to like you be able to make deals.” But before all of this, before the current iteration of this campaign occurred, Cruz never, ever figured on running against Donald Trump. <\/line><\/p>\n

Nor did anybody else, for that matter. But it\u2019s important if you want to understand what Cruz is doing now — and you think it\u2019s aimed at Trump — that it didn\u2019t start that way. Ted Cruz planed on running against the establishment from the get-go, as I say. He hoped to be the champion of every anti-establishment voter in the country, and he knew that the Republican Party and the entire Washington establishment would use every means at their disposal to beat him. He knew it was a stacked deck.<\/p>\n

But he thought that there were enough voters supporting anti-establishment candidates that he could create a voting majority and win. But he knew that he had to master the delegate rules in every state in order to have a chance to take these guys on but, remember, now, the Republican Party — call \u2019em the establishment, whatever, Democrats as well — they run everything: every procedure, every rule, the entire network, the power structure. They own it. Here comes Cruz — the renegade, in his mind — the lone wolf running against them. <\/p>\n

So he conceives this strategy that he thinks is the only way he can beat them at their own game. And that is mastering the delegate-selection process. This has been part of Cruz\u2019s strategy from the very beginning of his campaign. It\u2019s not something that happened when Trump came along; it\u2019s not something that happened because Donald Trump came along; it\u2019s not something that happened because Trump\u2019s campaign evolved the way it did. It was one of the things that Cruz was going to have to do, among some others, if he had a chance of winning. <\/p>\n

The delegates are chosen locally and at state levels. And if you go into these state conventions early enough and make yourself friendly with all of these delegates, you can perhaps find people who are not part of the establishment to run as delegates, be chosen as delegates — and then, therefore, be supportive of you against the establishment. And that\u2019s why Cruz was focusing so much on delegate selection and that process at all of these state conventions. It was the only way that he thought — well, not the only. But it was a key element in defeating this giant monolith that is the establishment. <\/p>\n

He knew the delegate game well. He knew the rules well. He knows how delegates are chosen. He knows delegate loyalty. He knows pledged delegates, unbound, all of that; he was always figuring on either a first ballot win or prevailing second and third ballot, but doing it with the delegates. So he masters this. So what happened? Trump comes along. In the midst of all this, Trump comes along, and from practically the get-go assumes and occupies (by himself) the position of anti-establishment candidate, the outsider, the genuine outsider.<\/line><\/p>\n

Here comes Trump. This upsets every plan Cruz had. At the beginning of this, Trump is overwhelmingly popular. If you recall, Cruz is not being critical of Trump. He\u2019s not taking Trump on. He\u2019s not campaigning against Trump. He\u2019s positioning himself for what everybody thought was gonna be the eventual Trump implosion. So he was going out of his way not to irritate people that were excited about Trump because those were the people Cruz was going to need to win. And he, again, was going to be the lone outsider. <\/p>\n

Jeb wasn\u2019t gonna be an outsider candidate, Marco wasn\u2019t gonna be, Christie wasn\u2019t gonna be. None of the rest of that field of 16 people on the Republican side — maybe Ben Carson, but not really. The rest of these guys, Huckabee, they all (in their own way) have ties to the establishment. Cruz does, too, but he\u2019s the only guy that had gone against them. Well, Trump coming along; it just upset every plan that Cruz had. But it didn\u2019t change one thing, and that is the way Cruz can win, and that\u2019s with delegates. <\/p>\n

So Cruz has stayed loyal to his plan of securing as many delegates as he can at all of these state conventions while nobody else has been playing this game, because Cruz figured it was the key element to his beating the establishment. So Trump comes along, and the establishment candidates — Jeb and Marco and the rest — totally flop. They can\u2019t get supported by anybody. They\u2019re at 1%. They\u2019re at 2%, 3%. They\u2019re just dying out there, and Trump is running away with it. <\/p>\n

The only guy left standing after Jeb and all the rest of the guys implode and get out of the race — the only guying left standing who actually knows how the process works — is Cruz. Because, again, he had to know it if he was gonna have any chance of beating the Republican establishment. So Trump comes along and does something very smart. He paints Cruz as the establishment candidate and attempts to own and occupy the outsider position. And he really is outsider. He\u2019s not elected to anything. <\/p>\n

He is not in any way, shape, manner, or form an official of any party, not officially tied to any party. Well, it\u2019s much easier for Trump to actually make the claim, particularly to low-information voters and others who are just now starting to get interested, to being the genuine outsider, the genuine anti-establishment. Whereas Cruz, he\u2019s in the establishment, he says he\u2019s anti-establishment, says he\u2019s outsider, but he\u2019s still in the Senate. You know the way the rest of this fell out. <\/line><\/p>\n

So Trump paints him as the establishment guy even though Cruz is paradigm anti-establishment. Cruz personifies it, folks. Cruz personifies running against the entrenched elites of both parties. He had this grand strategy all played out. He ends up being the only guy left who knows how the process works. And he\u2019s now accused of cheating and gaming the system and so forth, when that\u2019s not at all what\u2019s happening. He just was ahead of the curve on everybody else in understanding this local and state delegate selection process, again, because it was the — well, not the only, but it was a fundamentally important ingredient to Cruz\u2019s path to victory. <\/p>\n

So I\u2019m sure for Cruz it\u2019s maddening the way this has played out. It\u2019s maddening for everybody in the establishment candidate ranks who couldn\u2019t get more than one, two, three percent. Everybody\u2019s been discombobulated by this, but at least Cruz is still in and is still implementing and executing a strategy. It\u2019s just now that it appears to be Cruz implementing a strategy against Trump and the Trumpists are taking that personally, thinking that Cruz is cheating, when all Cruz is doing is executing the grand strategy he conceived way back before Trump even got into this as the way he was going to beat the GOP establishment. <\/p>\n

I gotta take a break here. We\u2019ve got calls coming up, and I\u2019m gonna revisit the audio sound bites of Cruz being confronted by the Trumpist demanding Cruz explain how he\u2019s getting delegates with nobody voting because we got some calls that want to bounce off that. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rachel in Buckeye, Arizona. I\u2019m glad you called. You\u2019re up first. Great to have you with us on the program today. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good morning, Rush, and thank you for having me. You were talking about Cruz this morning about not the being an insider. And I just called to differ with you on that point. To me, for one — as an American who has voted her whole life — I see him as an insider. He\u2019s been a lawyer\/government employee his whole life, and that\u2019s one of the reasons I\u2019m not voting for him. I mean, if he goes to the nominee, I will vote for him, but I voted for Trump, and I just see him as an insider. Unless you\u2019ve talked about for a while now —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. You don\u2019t know why I don\u2019t see it that way, probably.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I don\u2019t. I\u2019ve been really frustrated with you for the last two months because I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t… I don\u2019t get where you\u2019re coming from, and I value your opinions for things.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you, what…?<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rachel, just a second here. Now, this may be hard to do because you might not have had any opinions here. But what did you think of Cruz before Trump even came along? You know, a year ago, before Trump was even toying with it. Before Trump\u2019s even in the news, possibly.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I liked him. I liked him. I liked him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you think of him as no different than Mitch McConnell? Did you think of him as no different than John Boehner?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I thought of him as different. Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. You thought of him as in opposition to those people.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He was speaking out against them. He was publicly calling them out. It\u2019s on that basis that I refer to Cruz as an outsider, anti-establishment. But, believe me, Rachel, when you throw Trump in the mix, I can see where Trump qualifies on the surface as a genuine outsider. I mean, he\u2019s not elected. He\u2019s not in the Senate. He\u2019s not a lawyer. He hasn\u2019t worked in a regime or any of that. But before all that happens, my only point is, the earlier portions of today\u2019s program was to try to explain what Cruz is doing. Cruz had a strategy. He was running against the Republican establishment. He was the only one in the Republican field running against the establishment. <\/p>\n

Everybody else was part of it. Pick any one of those other 15 people. Maybe Ben Carson would qualify as an outsider, but when you\u2019re talking Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, all of the others, Huckabee, they\u2019re all part of the Republican establishment. Cruz was running against all of them. And he was devising, he did devise a strategy to win that involved delegates because that\u2019s the only way he could. Before Trump gets in, the way to look at Cruz and his campaign was David and Goliath. <\/p>\n

Now, you may not want to hear it, and it may not hold up once Trump gets in the race which, you know, is the great irony, but that\u2019s who Cruz was. Cruz never factored Trump. Nobody did. Cruz, when he was putting together his game plan to win the nomination never once factored that Donald Trump or anybody like him would be in the race. He knew he was up against everything the establishment has in their arsenal. They run the convention, they run primaries, they run the state parties, he was the outsider. The only hope he had was to go to these conventions and tie up as many delegates as he could so that he could withstand the onslaught of the establishment should it come to it at a convention. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, Trump gets in and all of that gets blown to smithereens, but it doesn\u2019t change who Cruz was. Now, you might want to say Cruz compared to Trump is establishment or insider \u2019cause, yeah, he\u2019s in the Senate and, yeah, he\u2019s a lawyer, and, yeah, he was in the Texas state government, and, yeah, his wife worked for W, and, yeah, he\u2019s got all these connections. But it\u2019s only in comparison to Trump can you say that Cruz is an insider. But he\u2019s not. <\/p>\n

Rachel, you know as well as I do Cruz was despised by these people precisely because he was exposing them, trying to expose them. He was doing everything he could. He called them the Washington cartel. He was running for the presidency from the Senate, from his elected position. Don\u2019t look at this as me choosing sides over who\u2019s the outsider. I see clearly everything happening here. But it simply isn\u2019t true to say that Ted Cruz is establishment. He never has been, he never wanted to be, and if Trump were not in the race, he would be the only guy running against the establishment right now. <\/p>\n

And thus you would have no choice but then to conclude — you might not trust it; I don\u2019t know about that. But it that\u2019s the way it was. I\u2019m not ignoring anything. I\u2019m not willfully blind here. I\u2019m simply recounting things as they were. I\u2019m really glad you called. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
