“With 102 days until Election Day,” it\u2019s actually 100<\/a>, I guess, “the blue wave threatening to swamp President Trump\u2019s re-election chances keeps getting bigger and bigger. Why it matters: We all know that anything can happen. But right now, every measurable trend is going against Trump — and with each day that passes, it gets increasingly harder for him to claw his way back.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/COOKAPP.jpg\")

“The Cook Political Report on Friday flipped Florida from ‘toss-up\u2019 to ‘leans Democratic,\u2019 with national editor Amy Walter citing the state\u2019s spiraling coronavirus outbreak. That follows a Quinnipiac poll on Thursday that showed Joe Biden leading by 13 points in” Florida. All right. Fine and dandy. Can I take you back?<\/p>\n
Yes, I can, because I\u2019m gonna do it. Grab audio sound bite number 9. We\u2019re gonna go back to October 21, 2016. This, as you know, is like three weeks prior to the election in 2016. The poll today is a hundred days out. This is three weeks. On October 21, 2016, on MSNBC, Meet the Press Daily, F. Chuck Todd show — and he\u2019s got Charlie Cook on! He\u2019s got Charlie Cook, Charlie Cook of the Cook Report.<\/p>\n
Question: “Charlie, you wrote that Republicans will now have four years to think about what they did to themselves this year. Donald Trump drove the car off the cliff.” So on October 21st, these guys think it\u2019s over. Trump has driven the Republican car over the cliff. Grandma\u2019s in it. She choked on the seat belt. Everybody in the car is dead. Trump\u2019s dead, the Republican Party\u2019s dead. October 21st, Trump has killed everything, and here\u2019s Charlie Cook\u2019s reply.<\/p>\n
COOK: And it certainly is a cliff! (snickering)<\/p>\n
TODD: So it\u2019s off the cliff?<\/p>\n
COOK: (chortling)<\/p>\n
TODD: (snickering) You think it\u2019s over?<\/p>\n
COOK: Oh, yeah!<\/p>\n
TODD: You\u2019re done?<\/p>\n
COOK: Yeah.<\/p>\n
TODD: This is baked, done?<\/p>\n
COOK: Yeah, if there were two or three or four, that\u2019d be different, but we\u2019re talking six, seven, eight, and, uh —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa —<\/p>\n
COOK: — your poll had 11. This is —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop the tape. Did you hear that? “I think this is baked in. It\u2019s done. It\u2019s off the cliff! It\u2019s… Yep. Yep. It\u2019s baked. It\u2019s done,” Chuck Todd says, and Charlie Cook responds, “Yeah, if this were two or three or four points, yeah, but your poll has it 11! Yeah, this is so well positioned. Hillary\u2019s so well positioned.”<\/p>\n

The reason I\u2019m playing this is \u2019cause these clowns were dead wrong three weeks before the election in 2016. They have learned nothing. James Carville. James Carville right now is a happy guy. He thinks that Biden should continue the basement strategy. Biden\u2019s got no choice but than to continue the basement strategy, for now. The minute Biden\u2019s forced out of that basement, everything is going to change, to the extent that the Drive-Bys will cover it.<\/p>\n
But I just… For those of you upset about this, we\u2019ve been there. We\u2019ve been there. We\u2019ve done that. The Democrats and their polling units have tried to get you not to vote for Trump since 2016, and they\u2019re continuing to try to dispirit you now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
