Are you really telling me &#8212; I went through this yesterday, too, so I don\u2019t want to be too repetitive. This guy, Joe Biden, hasn\u2019t won anything on his own outside of his Senate seat, and that\u2019s in the very small state of Delaware. He\u2019s run for the presidency two or three times, and he bombed out as bad as Kamala Harris did. He got nailed for committing plagiarism against a Labor Party Brit named Neil Kinnock. He should have been shamed out of politics with that alone.<\/p>\n<p>Kamala Harris was the first to get out of the Democrat primary before a vote had even been cast because she was going nowhere. And this is the woman that they are going to make vice president on the theory she\u2019s gonna become president \u2019cause Plugs isn\u2019t gonna make a full first term if he wins. I think it\u2019s even worse than that. They have to know. And then the survey data that says the vast majority of Biden supporters aren\u2019t even voting for him or her. They\u2019re voting against Trump. I\u2019m telling you, that doesn\u2019t help them.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen some conservative analysts say that\u2019s bad news for Trump. I totally disagree. I think it\u2019s great news for Trump that a lot of Biden\u2019s support has nothing to do with him. &#8220;Well, but, Rush, but, Rush, I mean, if there\u2019s that much hatred for Trump out there, that\u2019s really bad, that\u2019s bad news.&#8221; Nah, he can convert some of that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-360590\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081820-Democratic-Convention-Biden-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081820-Democratic-Convention-Biden-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081820-Democratic-Convention-Biden-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081820-Democratic-Convention-Biden-2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m telling you, folks, the fact that a sizable percentage of Biden voters couldn\u2019t care less whether he\u2019s on the ballot, that is not good news for them. They know that they\u2019re in trouble. I don\u2019t know really how they think that they\u2019re gonna win. They have to believe that a majority of Americans want these riots and want the looting and want private property destroyed and want the cops defunded because this is what they are standing for.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You want to hear some audio?

They we ran the numbers, and there was not 50% drop-off after two hours. The total audience is 50% less than what it was in 2016. Now, obviously there\u2019s no convention, there\u2019s no crowd, there isn\u2019t a bunch of cheering and razzmatazz. There\u2019s no drama.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just a bunch of people that [rerecorded speeches. But! But! But! The headliners were Crazy Bernie and Michelle (My Belle) Obama, and they couldn\u2019t put \u2019em over the top. We keep hearing about all of this enthusiasm! Oh, yeah, the Democrats! It\u2019s not so much that they can\u2019t wait to vote for Biden. They hate Trump. Well, this doesn\u2019t bode well for a bunch of enthusiasm, folks.<\/p>\n<p>You wait. Enthusiasm on the part of Trump voters is going to dwarf the enthusiasm on the Democrat side. &#8220;Final numbers including cable news coming in a bit, but&#8221; Joe Concha here, the great media report at TheHill.com, says, &#8220;expect more of the same in the 40% drop range&#8221; compared to 2016 in the audience on cable.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: 18.6 million viewers at 10 o\u2019clock.
