RUSH: I\u2019ve got a really curious, curious story here. It\u2019s The Politico, which means it\u2019s a Democrat Party outlet. And the headline: “Biden\u2019s VP Shortlist Comes Up Short.”<\/a> Now, wait just a minute. There\u2019s something about this that is instantly confusing. This is the subheadline here: “Plenty of the contenders are fine or even good. But all of them come with a ‘but\u2019 attached.”<\/p>\n

Now, since they\u2019re all women, is that a physical comment Mr. Snerdley? (interruption) No. I joke. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s in reference to a “butt,” but with these people, you never know. One adviser says that, “There is no one ideal home run choice.” Wait just a minute. This goes against every bit of conventional wisdom we have been told about Plugs and his campaign and his eventual vice presidential pick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, what really happened is this. Plugs, in one of his senior moments, painted himself into a corner when he said that he would select a woman and probably an African-American woman. He kind of sealed the deal. He kind of made it pretty plain. He committed to a black female vice presidential nominee. It turns out that doing so has left him high and dry.<\/p>\n

In other words, this story is about all of the potential shortcomings of every one of the potential African-American women. And my question is, how can any Democrat, African-American woman, have any shortcomings? How can that be? Aren\u2019t they the epitome of perfection?<\/p>\n

Now, another observation here. Why does the vice presidential pick matter? I\u2019m serious. Because if you look at all the polls, Biden\u2019s up by 10 points here, he\u2019s up by 13 points in that battleground state, he\u2019s up by 14 points over there, he\u2019s up by nine points over there. In the Fox News poll he\u2019s up by 10, by 12, by eight, by wherever. In every poll out there Biden is up double digits.<\/p>\n

So why does it matter who his VP choice is? (interruption) No, no, no, no. I know what you\u2019re thinking, “‘Cause, Rush, he\u2019s mental and whoever the VP is is gonna be the president.” No, it\u2019s not. That\u2019s another thing. I\u2019ll repeat myself on this if I have to. The VP choice may think he or she is gonna be the president, but that ain\u2019t gonna happen. It is not gonna be what transpires. Whoever is running the Biden campaign right now is gonna be the de facto power behind the throne.<\/p>\n

Now, I think that when Biden has to give up, if he wins and he has to give up the presidency because of his mental deficiencies and the vice president then becomes president, then we\u2019re gonna see a battle. Then we\u2019re gonna have a fun fight between whoever\u2019s running Biden right now and the VP pick.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t forget, whoever\u2019s running Biden right now is gonna make the VP pick, and so whoever\u2019s running Biden right now is gonna pick somebody who is not theoretically gonna be a threat to whoever it is that\u2019s running Biden. But all of that is moot because I pay attention to the news. And the news is that Biden can\u2019t lose. We just had the Charlie Cook Report. It\u2019s baked in. It\u2019s done. Trump\u2019s toast. Trump does not have a prayer. It\u2019s over, even though we haven\u2019t even gotten to August yet. It\u2019s finished.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So why does it matter who his vice presidential pick is, seriously. It looks like Biden can win this thing on his own. So what does it matter? Well, let me answer it. What these people are telling us is, with this story, with this story, Biden\u2019s VP short list comes up short, they\u2019re telling us they don\u2019t believe the polls, either. They don\u2019t believe any of it right now. And they would be very wise not to believe \u2019em.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, back to Biden and his VP choice. Seriously, folks, he\u2019s painted himself into a corner here. Why in the world does the VP choice even matter if he\u2019s leading so big in these polls? Well, the answer is he isn\u2019t leading in these polls that big. His majority is nowhere near what they\u2019re reporting, and the media is very concerned about who his VP choice is gonna be because all of them have something wrong with them that could hurt the campaign.<\/p>\n

And the story talks about what some of those things from candidate to candidate to candidate. (interruption) Well, okay. Let me give you an example. This is Ryan Lizza who wrote the story. “All the Democrats I talked to agreed there are lots of good candidates but that there isn\u2019t one obvious candidate.” There\u2019s nobody that stands out as the obvious choice. … But she hasn\u2019t run for office before. (Rice) But she hasn\u2019t won statewide. (Rep. Karen Bass) But she hasn\u2019t been a team player. ([Fauxcahontas], Harris.) But she hasn\u2019t had enough foreign policy experience. (Several).” That\u2019s a lot of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“‘I don\u2019t think there is an obvious frontrunner,\u2019 he said. ‘And that\u2019s why it is going to come down to trust and relationships. There is no one ideal home run choice,\u2019 said the person whom the campaign has consulted about several potential running mates.” Well, this comes out of the blue, doesn\u2019t it? Because up \u2019til now, every one of these women was the creme de la creme.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every one of these women could have been smoking. Every one of them could have been a great, great choice. Now none of them are? What is this? None of them are, and yet it\u2019s Biden who\u2019s painted himself into the corner by suggesting he had to pick a black woman? Now none of them are solid? Every one of them has some bandage that presents a problem?<\/p>\n

And yet what does it matter anyway because Biden\u2019s leading so big? What all of this means is that you shouldn\u2019t be believing anything in the news about Biden leading in the polls, about Biden being way ahead of Trump, about the American people preferring Biden. None of it\u2019s true. They couldn\u2019t write this story if all those other things were true.<\/p>\n

And it also means they are not confident that Biden is gonna win this thing despite everything they\u2019re saying and reporting. They\u2019re worried about just the exact opposite. They\u2019re worried that Trump has magic to pull out of a hat and will do it again. Every time you see a story centered on the fact that Trump may not leave if he loses, what that means is, “We actually think he\u2019s gonna win.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
