I think this is The New Yorker. It sadly didn\u2019t print. Susan Glasser. Headline: &#8220;The 2020 Election, a Race in Which Everything Happens and Nothing Matters &#8212; If a pandemic that has killed nearly two hundred thousand Americans can\u2019t significantly hurt Trump\u2019s support, can anything?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do not doubt me, my friends, when I tell you about these people and what motivates them. They are so frustrated, they can\u2019t see straight. They literally have launched everything they\u2019ve got, including <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/09\/04\/the-atlantic-drops-despicable-october-surprise-in-september\/\">this latest absolutely slanderous and libelous allegation<\/a> that Trump thinks American soldiers who have lost their lives and are dead and buried in cemeteries are losers and suckers.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve thrown everything, and they can\u2019t damage Trump at all within his base. And that has been the objective. They\u2019ve known that if they could somehow get just a small percentage of Trump\u2019s base to abandon him, then they would have a chance at defeating him in the 2020 election.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/letter-from-trumps-washington\/the-2020-election-a-race-in-which-everything-happens-and-nothing-matters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-363096 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker-TEARAWAY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker-TEARAWAY.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker-TEARAWAY-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker-TEARAWAY-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>But this woman\u2019s so frustrated. Here\u2019s how her piece begins: &#8220;Does anything matter anymore in American politics? In the week since Donald Trump\u2019s Convention ended with a personality-cult party on the White House lawn, the President has completely refocussed [sic] his campaign on threats to law and order from &#8216;Rioters, Anarchists, Agitators, and Looters.'&#8221; Which is exactly what they are. She even disagrees with that. &#8220;He has suggested there will be a &#8216;Rigged Election.'&#8221; Well, you people are trying to rig it. What the hell do you call refusing to accept the results from 2016? You\u2019re still trying to rig that.<\/p>\n<p>If you could, you would have reversed those election the results, Ms. Glasser. You people are everything Trump says about you. Then she complains that Trump has &#8220;urged supporters in North Carolina to commit election fraud, by voting twice&#8230;&#8221; No. This is Trump\u2019s own version of Operation Chaos. He says vote twice, let\u2019s run a test. Let\u2019s actually see what happens when you vote both ways. How can it be an attempt to rig the election when you tell everybody what you\u2019re doing up front? It\u2019s obviously a test. It\u2019s also meant to tweak them. It\u2019s also meant to provoke this kind of reaction, which it did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president personally ordered a review of federal aid, with the goal of withholding funds from &#8216;anarchist\u2019 Democratic-run cities that have allowed &#8216;themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones.'&#8221; Here she\u2019s quoting Trump. &#8220;And he has baselessly alleged that his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, is taking some sort of &#8216;enhancement\u2019 drug, and claimed that Biden is the pawn of shadowy &#8216;dark forces.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And she\u2019s sitting there, and she is stunned that none of this is harming Trump. Ms. Glasser, if I may &#8212; and I\u2019m addressing you specifically, purposely, and I\u2019m trying to do this respectfully. You need to eliminate some of your arrogance. You need to start asking, why do Trump supporters believe these things? For example, Joe Biden is the pawn of shadowy, dark forces. I believe that too. I just wouldn\u2019t put it that way.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think Biden is actually running his own show because he\u2019s not capable of it, Ms. Glasser. There are people who wanted Biden to win the nomination for whatever electability reasons. There isn\u2019t anybody else in that Democrat primary that showed they had the ability to even win the nomination, much less defeat Trump. Somebody is writing on the teleprompter what Biden is supposed to say.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-363113\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-090420-New-Yorker-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is somebody &#8212; and we don\u2019t know who they are, Ms. Glasser, and that\u2019s why this is important. Joe Biden is not gonna be the president even if he wins the election. Somebody else is going to be, and we don\u2019t know who they are. And they\u2019re gonna have immense power. They\u2019re not having to campaign. They don\u2019t have to identify themselves. They don\u2019t have to personally put their necks on the line raising money. Biden is the front man. The deal was with Bernie Sanders, if Biden adopts the Bernie agenda, then Bernie will send his supporters to Biden.<\/p>\n<p>So we know that whoever is running this show is hell-bent on a radical, leftist agenda and that Biden is the placeholder for it. Trump is simply acknowledging the fact that there are people running the Biden campaign and not the campaign manager and not the consults. There are people who have not identified themselves. We don\u2019t know who they are.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all Trump means. It\u2019s not something dark and sinister. It\u2019s not conspiratorial. It simply has to be the case because Biden is not mentally capable of orchestrating or leading or managing something as massive as a presidential campaign on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n<p>He is a foot soldier like everybody else in the campaign is. Somebody\u2019s giving the orders. Somebody is coming up with the agenda. Somebody is deciding where Plugs is gonna go to make a speech, where he\u2019s gonna go to make an appearance. It isn\u2019t him. That\u2019s all this means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They&#039;ve thrown everything, and they can&#039;t damage Trump at all within his base.
