She was on CNN yesterday afternoon, The Lead with Jake Tapper. She\u2019s the senior political correspondent at CNN. Tapper said, &#8220;Senator Ron Johnson is not ruling out challenging the election results in January when Congress meets to accept the Electoral College vote. Now, this is crazy. This is crazy. But it wouldn\u2019t change the results of the election, so why is he gonna do it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-376188\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-Nia-Malika-CNN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-Nia-Malika-CNN.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-Nia-Malika-CNN-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-Nia-Malika-CNN-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>HENDERSON: It\u2019s the same as what\u2019s going on with this lawsuit out of Texas. They want to be on Fox News, they want to be on Rush Limbaugh. They want to win reelection. I think they initially thought that if they show loyalty to this president, he would, you know, at some point leave the scene and maybe they could run for president, that base would then come to him. That doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How does somebody like this get hired for political analysis? With all due respect, there\u2019s not a single thing about that sound bite that makes any sense. &#8220;It\u2019s the same as what\u2019s going on with the lawsuit in Texas. They want to be on Fox News. They want to be on Rush Limbaugh.&#8221; There isn\u2019t anybody who\u2019s on Rush Limbaugh, Nia. We don\u2019t have guests here. There\u2019s not a single person in the political class that does anything they do to get on Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they might do what they do hoping that I will talk about them, but nobody gets on this program, very few people do. She didn\u2019t even know that. But that\u2019s not the worst of it. &#8220;They want to win reelection. They initially thought if they show loyalty to Trump, that he\u2019d, you know, leave the scene. And maybe they could run for president. That Trump\u2019s base would then come to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is so nonsensical that it\u2019s laughable. Ron Johnson\u2019s actually doing all of this hoping that he\u2019ll be showing loyalty to Trump, and that\u2019ll mean Trump will leave, Trump will concede, Trump will go away, Trump will not run, Trump will not ruffle feathers, and then Trump\u2019s base will end up supporting Ron Johnson. I don\u2019t think Mr. Johnson\u2019s thinking that way at all, but that\u2019s nevertheless the insightful political analysis that CNN viewers are treated to. Here\u2019s Dan Abrams on his show on Sirius Satellite Radio about the Texas case.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-376187\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-grab-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-grab-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-grab-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-121020-grab-1-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ABRAMS: Here\u2019s Rush Limbaugh on his show.

Here\u2019s Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: Folks, there\u2019s optimism out there like you might not believe or expect.<\/p>\n<p>ABRAMS: He\u2019s talking about optimism about Trump actually winning. And that\u2019s the problem. Let me be clear. The Supreme Court is not going to take the Texas case. Trump is not going to win the Texas case. It\u2019s an absurd lawsuit. It\u2019s not happening. I\u2019m worried that we\u2019re sort of in this purgatory now where you\u2019re giving this false hope to these people who, many of them, appear to be on the edge already. It\u2019s over.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So, you people out there, you are unstable. You\u2019re unbalanced. You\u2019re teetering on the edge, you\u2019re going back and forth, you\u2019re about to fall off the edge, and I\u2019m trying to keep you from falling off the ledge by giving you false hope \u2019cause you\u2019re too stupid to figure things out on your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So, you people out there, you are unstable.
