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

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s pretty sad news out there, folks. It looks like the Cruz-Kasich agreement is starting to unravel. It looks like the Cruz-Kasich pact is starting to fray a little bit out there. Okay, I get it. Folks, I… You want me to weigh in on the morality of the rule. That\u2019s… I know what you want. I think I finally get it. You all want me to pronounce the rules as having sucked. You want me to proclaim that these rules are rotten. Not that they\u2019re unfair. They\u2019re just part and parcel of the problem. Sure, sure, sure, these are the rules.<\/p>\n

But are they right?<\/p>\n

Are they morally correct? <\/p>\n

Rightly or wrongly, Trump has exposed this process. You know, we keep saying to people, “Hey, this is what it\u2019s always been.” “Yeah? Yeah? Well, no wonder we didn\u2019t like it! Our instincts are right. No wonder we tuned out of it. Our instincts are right. Trump has exposed what a phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock ‘n\u2019 roller process this is.” Well, it\u2019s what it\u2019s always been. It\u2019s how Abe Lincoln was elected, folks. It\u2019s how Ronald Reagan almost won the nomination in 1976.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time-honored, if you will, and it\u2019s simply candidates using remaining devices available to them to try to win. But I am looking at what\u2019s happening here with the Kasich and Cruz agreement here. It\u2019s already starting to unravel, and TheHill.com<\/a> has the story. I\u2019ll tell you, I know what\u2019s going on. I have finally figured this out, too. Here, first off, is the story: “Republican presidential candidate John Kasich [today] said that Indiana\u2019s voters should still back him, despite [laughing] an alliance with Ted Cruz to clear the way for his presidential rival in the state\u2019s Republican primary. <\/line><\/p>\n

“‘I\u2019ve never told them not to vote for me,\u2019 [Kasich] said at a diner in Philadelphia.<\/a> ‘They ought to vote for me. ‘I\u2019m not out there campaigning and spending resources,\u2019 Kasich added. ‘I\u2019m not going to spend resources in Indiana. (Cruz is) not going to spend resources in other places. ‘So what?'” Well, the whole idea here is for Cruz to win Indiana and deny as many delegates as possible to Trump, but now Kasich\u2019s running around telling people in Indiana to vote for him whether he\u2019s spending money or not. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going on here with Kasich. I think we are watching a man live out his fantasy, and I think he ought to complete it. And you know when I first got wind of this? ‘Cause it always seemed odd. This Kasich campaign to me has always seemed odd, \u2019cause he\u2019s not winning anything. He didn\u2019t win a single state. There didn\u2019t seem to be any reason for his campaign, in terms of actually winning it. But when he fired the confetti gun after winning the Ohio primary, I said, “Okay, we got some Walter Mitty action going on here. <\/p>\n

“You win your own state and you fire the confetti gun? You fire confetti guns at Super Bowls. You know, you fire your own confetti gun for winning your own state, which is an expectation? It\u2019s not an achievement. It is an expectation. And then we heard today that Kasich says he is vetting vice presidential nominees, that he is already vetting potential vice presidential nominees to run with him. Folks, this is somebody living out a fantasy. I think we can expect, before this campaign ends, an inaugural address. <\/p>\n

We can expect a couple of inaugural balls that take place under the guise of celebrations after states have conducted their elections or what have you. Maybe we\u2019re gonna have even naming of a cabinet as part of this, \u2019cause I think Governor Kasich is living the dream here. And I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he picked Cruz as his VP. You know, going through the rigmarole here. But, I mean, what a headline: “Kasich Wants Indiana Votes Despite Cruz Pact.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
