RUSH: Well, blow me down. Look at this. “Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Viewed Negatively by Two-Thirds of City\u2019s Voters,” according to the latest news report. “Only 26% of voters viewed the mayor favorably … Mayor Ted Wheeler is viewed negatively by 63% — or nearly two-thirds — of the city\u2019s voters … OregonLive.com<\/a> reported.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you realize how big this is? Let me try to put this in perspective for you. The Drive-By Media has been presenting this guy as a hero. They have been promoting this guy as a hero. They\u2019ve been promoting him as cutting edge. They have been promoting him as on the same side as the peace-loving protesters. He has attempted to be with them when they have peace-lovingly protested. He\u2019s gotten tear-gassed!<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve made fun of him. They\u2019ve mocked him. They have firebombed his house. They\u2019ve forced him out of his apartment. Yet he still sucks up to them — and the media (CNN leading the way) has tried to portray Ted Wheeler as some kind of cutting edge, New Age leader. And it turns out that two-thirds of the city\u2019s voters — not population, but voters — view him negatively.<\/p>\n

Sixty-three percent — and he\u2019s got an opponent. “In November, Wheeler will face Sarah Iannarone, an urban policy consultant,” (chuckles) an urban policy consulant, “in a runoff election for the mayoralty after failing to attract 50%-plus-one voters in the city\u2019s May election.” The bottom line is they portrayed this guy as universally loved and popular and that, therefore, the people in Portland very much approve of the destruction of their city.<\/p>\n

This has been one of the most outrageous examples of media distortion in my lifetime — and not just Portland, but Seattle and Minneapolis — as they have attempted to the portray the people that live in these cities as totally supportive of the destruction of private property, destruction of people\u2019s livelihoods, jobs, and dreams, “Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Everybody in Minneapolis is all for what\u2019s happening there. Everybody in Portland is all for it.”<\/p>\n

“No, they\u2019re not,” finally, we learn. “No, they\u2019re not, and the mayor is not universally cutting edge popular.” It just… Folks, it\u2019s another bit of evidence that even the city of Portland is not ready to go all Marxist all the time. They\u2019re not ready to go all communist. Neither is Seattle. We are living in so many media myths that it is impossible to keep them all straight unless you listen to and believe me.<\/p>\n

I will keep you straight about this.<\/p>\n

There is no way the Democrat Party is gonna win this presidential election in a fair one. There is no way they\u2019re gonna win it in a landslide. There is no way what you\u2019re being told is gonna happen is gonna happen. Not if what you\u2019re being told as the Democrat Party winning. It isn\u2019t going to happen, and it\u2019s not because there\u2019s a bunch of secret Trump voters out there that are not willing to be honest with pollsters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that there aren\u2019t enough Marxists and communists in this country willing to vote for it. We have not crossed the boundary. We have not gone to the dark side. This country is not Marxist, it is not communist, despite CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times\u2019 best efforts to make you think that you\u2019ve lost your country, that Marxists and communists have taken over. No, they have not. It isn\u2019t even close.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You might remember mere moments ago I shared with you the details of a story from OregonLive.com. It\u2019s about a polling company, and they found that 63% of the people of Portland, Oregon, view that mayor out there negatively — 63% viewed Ted Wheeler negatively. I said, “Well, wait a minute, now, because Drive-By Media and CNN and the New York Times, they\u2019ve been trying to tell us how popular the guy is.<\/p>\n

“Oh, yeah! Ted Wheeler is loved and adored by the people of Portland. Oh, yeah! Ted Wheeler!” This guy sidles up to the protesters like they\u2019re rock stars. He\u2019s like a groupie. He gets with the protesters, and he wants to protest with them — and they\u2019ve kicked him out of his house! They\u2019ve firebombed his house. They firebombed him. They\u2019ve tear-gassed him, they laugh at him, they mock him.<\/p>\n

But still, CNN tells us how popular he is, and what\u2019s the reason for that? CNN and the media want you and me to think that Portland is gone. They want you and I to believe that Portland\u2019s gone full commie pinko. They want you to think the same thing about Seattle. Now, these are leftist cities, do not misunderstand. But they are not filled with people who love seeing their property destroyed. Not yet.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not filled with people who love seeing private property destroyed, dreams destroyed. They\u2019re not in favor of what\u2019s going on. They do not support Ted Wheeler and his groupie-like behavior with Antifa and Black Lives Matter. But yet, we are and that the people of Portland are actually all-in for this, and we\u2019re told that the people of Portland do not want this to stop.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t want Donald Trump to bring in federal troops and get a handle on this. No, no, no, no. We\u2019re told the exact opposite. We\u2019re told that the people of Portland hate Donald Trump and they don\u2019t want this violence to stop. The people of Portland totally support it. So do the people of Minneapolis, and so do that the people in Seattle, and so do the people in Chicago, and so do the people in New York.<\/p>\n

They support all this. This is what they\u2019re telling us, and they tell us this so that we get depressed and think that we\u2019re losing the country. It isn\u2019t true, folks — and here is another example. Get this. This is from a poll done by Just the News, Scott Rasmussen: “Over 80% of voters believe police officers deserve support and respect.”<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Wait! Wait! What? I thought… I thought people hated the cops. I thought after George Floyd everybody hated the cops. Why, I was under the belief that people wanted police departments defunded in Portland and in Seattle and in Minneapolis. It turns out it\u2019s not true, either. Just like the people of Portland do not think that Ted Wheeler\u2019s the greatest thing since sliced bread.<\/p>\n

A majority of people do not believe the police departments around this country deserve or need to be defunded. Folks, what does this all mean? It means that we are being manipulated by a minority. We\u2019re being overwhelmed, manipulated, media… Whatever. We\u2019re not yet governed by, but that\u2019s the next thing they\u2019re trying. We are being manipulated by a minority.<\/p>\n

“Among registered voters, 83% agree that policing is a noble profession, that police dedicate their lives to upholding the law, protecting the sacred rights of their fellow citizens and that they should be shown support and respect. A full 54% strongly agree with that. Only 15% disagree.” So the bottom line is — the point is — your fellow citizens don\u2019t hate the cops.<\/p>\n

In fact, a majority of your fellow citizens feel about \u2019em the same way you do. They respect them. They like them. They want more of them. They believe they are deserving of respect. In other words, we\u2019re not losing the country to a bunch of you leftist Marxists. But you are being manipulated to believe that we are. You are being manipulated to believe that you are in a minority in this country, that you have lost.<\/p>\n

That the traditional values Americans — that the values of the founding of this country — have been overwhelmed by the values of Barack Obama and Joe Biden and all of those who want to transform America. Don\u2019t believe it. It hasn\u2019t happened. They are still — not just a minority. They are a tiny minority. They are not going to win the election. Now, I know.<\/p>\n

I know that whoever is on the ballot with a D next to their name is probably gonna get at least 45% of the vote just because of that. It doesn\u2019t matter who they are. It doesn\u2019t matter what they believe. It doesn\u2019t matter what the agenda is if there\u2019s a D. But there are some big things changing. A lot of people who vote for the person with the D are people who are members of unions.<\/p>\n

Well, if you haven\u2019t noticed it, police union after police union has endorsed Donald Trump. More and more health care unions are endorsing Donald Trump. So the number of people who are automatically gonna vote for whoever has a D next to their name on the ballot is declining. This election is not shaping up to be a massive landslide based on hatred and disgust of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\"\"CNN, the Drive-By Media, the New York Times, all want you desperately to believe this. They want you to believe that a majority of Americans have finally agreed with the idea that we\u2019re racists, that we have institutional systemic racism and we\u2019ve got to get rid of white privilege and white supremacy — and the only way to do that is to get rid of Trump and every other Republican, and that we\u2019re on the way to making this happen.<\/p>\n

They want you to believe that — and because of this, let me give you an election night heads up. It\u2019s gonna be late, late, late before they project the winner, particularly if it\u2019s Trump. They\u2019re gonna wait as long as they can. They already know what\u2019s gonna happen. They\u2019re already telling us that Trump, on election night, the first reports are gonna make it look like — because of people who actually show up and vote — that Trump will win in a landslide.<\/p>\n

“But — but — but after the absentees are counted and after the early votes are counted and after the mail-in ballots are counted, then it\u2019s gonna be Trump is gonna lose.” So they know what\u2019s gonna happen. The only way to trump them, I\u2019m telling you, is to show up in person and vote. They\u2019re gonna try to tell you you\u2019ll die if you do it, that you\u2019re gonna get COVID, that there\u2019s no way to save you.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re gonna have people try to intimidate you, keeping you from going in and voting. They know what\u2019s gonna happen. Folks, they know that Joe Biden\u2019s not setting up here to win in a massive Democrat landslide. Just like they want you to believe that Ted Wheeler is loved and adored in Portland and that Antifa and Black Lives Matter are loved and adored in Seattle.<\/p>\n

They want you to believe that Biden is being celebrated, loved, and adored by more and more in America.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n

Just hang tough and do not doubt me on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
