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

RUSH: Susan in Thousand Oaks, California. I appreciate that you waited during that little interruption. Great to have you here, Susan.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Listen, in my opinion, the only difference between Trump and Hillary Clinton is that Hillary has bigger hands.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) How long have you been waiting to say that?<\/p>\n


\nCALLER: Well, listen, I\u2019m a never-Trump voter. I just cannot tolerate the thought of voting for him. I think they\u2019re both opportunists, and I don\u2019t think it really matters. People like to scream and say, “Hey, if you vote for –”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Well, hold it. You said both are opportunists. You mean Hillary and Trump are opportunists?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, sure. Yeah. They\u2019re opportunists. I mean, look, Trump has changed his political affiliation five minutes. He just barely became a Republican again. I just don\u2019t think we can believe a word that he says. He says whatever he needs to say to further himself. You know, and so does Hillary. They\u2019re both opportunists, so how do you trust either of them?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So given that you are passionate about this, where do you come down on it? I mean, the numbers are what they are. The math is what it is. Trump\u2019s at 600 the some odd. Ted Cruz is a couple hundred behind. Everybody is waiting to see. I heard the Trump people say on TV today that if they win Arizona next week, it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I… My hope is that Cruz will team up with Kasich and that we can get that full vote of the never-Trump people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Kasich?<\/p>\n

CALLER: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you say Kasich? Cruz team up with Kasich? What about Rubio?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I loved Rubio. I thought he was a class act. I thought he was a good person, but I don\u2019t think that he can bring to the table what they need. I don\u2019t think he could bring Florida to the table, but I think Kasich could bring Ohio. And, plus, if Trump were to team up with Kasich, I think we\u2019re in trouble because I think Kasich will team up with anybody. And if Trump teamed up with Kasich, then I think we\u2019d be in trouble.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I know you\u2019re passionate about this, and I know you\u2019ve stridently opposed Trump. Tell me — and you\u2019ve thought about it. I don\u2019t mean to be putting you on the spot. Look, I realize you\u2019re a caller. A host asks you to do something and you might… Don\u2019t get nervous. You got plenty of time here. What do you think the best way…? I know you just said go out and hook up with Kasich. But what are the odds that Cruz can do this? Do you think he can do it before the convention?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think if he teams up with Kasich, he can do it before the convention. But, you know, I think he can, because I think people that are voting for Trump have really not vetted him, just like everybody fell after Obama. He wasn\u2019t vetted. Do you realize that the press, as soon as Trump becomes the nominee, are gonna jump on all of his Mafia connections that he pretends don\u2019t exist? I mean, you know, the whole connection with [Felix] Sater that everybody just ignores, you know, they\u2019re gonna jump on everything. They\u2019re holding back the BBC documentary until he becomes the nominee. And then they\u2019re gonna trash him. Why are we not vetting him now before he becomes our nominee?<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: By vetting him… I mean, there\u2019s plenty of negative stuff out there about Trump already. You have a conservative group that is thinking of splintering off and going third-party, and they\u2019re being quite open about their problems with Trump. I mean, we\u2019ve had people call here and echo the things you\u2019ve said about Trump\u2019s supposed relationship and association with Mafia and other things. It\u2019s not —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, the thing is that everybody just keeps tiptoeing around it. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s exposed at all. I mean, there\u2019s pictures of him with Sater who has Mafia ties, and he was his senior advisor and yet Trump after I will pretends, oh, I barely know him, I wouldn\u2019t even-recognize him. How do we let him get away with saying stuff like that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, how did Obama get away with it? How did Clinton get away with saying stuff like that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s the whole point. I mean, we sit back and say, “Why did we not vet Obama?” and we have a disaster on our hands.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. We did vet Obama. I did. I was blue in the face trying to tell people who the real Barack Obama was, and it didn\u2019t matter, did it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true, but how do we…? You know, there\u2019s the big question. Why do people just fall behind these charismatic people?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, now, Susan, if I may get… I don\u2019t mean to be a little frustrated here \u2019cause I\u2019m not. But I have spent more time, I think, on this program than anybody else combined seriously trying to explain to people why Trump has his supporters, who the supporters are, why they support Trump, and what is and what isn\u2019t — and what are\/what aren\u2019t the ways to separate Trump\u2019s supporters from him. And I\u2019m here to tell you this is not the first time. All of the negatives that you come up with about Trump are not going to separate Trump\u2019s supporters from him. It\u2019s only going to secure the support even tighter. It\u2019s gonna expand his support, in fact.<\/p>\n


\nCALLER: Well, you know, my position — my feeling — is that one of the days that we separate people from their supporters is — and I hate to say this — you have to lower the respect level by mocking them. And that\u2019s… You know, that\u2019s where I come up with the only difference between Trump and Clinton is that Hillary has bigger hands. He hates that, and we have to mock him and take the respect factor out of it, because, I mean, think about it. Drudge got up there and put up old pictures of Rubio in the big chair to mock him, and he\u2019s been completely ignoring Trump and all the places you could mock him on that… I mean, the whole fake steak thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why do you think that is? Why do you think that is?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, Drudge is in the tank.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But why? Why is Drudge in the tank?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s a good question. Maybe, you know, for access. Maybe Trump has promised him something. Who knows? You know, but definitely all you gotta do is read Drudge and see all the attacks that he does on all the other candidates, and he completely ignored the whole fake steak infomercial that Trump did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The fake steak infomercial? You mean for Trump Steaks?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, his pretend Trump Steaks that were really Bush Brothers steaks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know… Well, maybe it\u2019s worth delving back into this. We mocked Obama here. We mocked Reverend Wright. But we have had more success mocking and making fun of the Clintons than I can tell you, and she\u2019s still the Democrat front-runner, and she is going to be the Democrat nominee, no matter what. They have decided that this is her turn. You know, the mystery of why people support candidates, if there\u2019s somebody that could ever figure this out, if there were this magic way to create support for a candidate, whoever came up with that would be determining who is president every year and would be a multimillionaire.<\/p>\n

<\/a>They would be the only consultant anybody would want to hire. But that person doesn\u2019t exist because that methodology hasn\u2019t yet been discovered, the definitive explanation for why candidates are supported by people. I ask myself every year. Even in this primary process, I asked myself, “Why were people supporting Ben Carson?” They knew he had no prayer, but they still stood with him. “Why were they supporting Kasich?” They knew he had no prayer. I look at all these conservative voters. Why didn\u2019t they realize months ago the only hope and prayer they had was Ted Cruz?<\/p>\n

Why did they hold out for so long and not unify? Why did…? They know going in. Every conservative worth his salt knows going in that the trick is to divide the conservative vote against the moderate that\u2019s in the primaries. You divide the conservative vote, you divide the conservative money. This was Jeb Bush\u2019s strategy. Soak up all the money, have all kinds of conservatives running against him. Split the vote, split the money, and win the war of attrition, even if you don\u2019t win a majority of votes.<\/p>\n

All the other conservatives combined, if you add \u2019em up are the majority, but they don\u2019t get it \u2019cause they\u2019re divided. Why did so many people on the conservative side not decide long ago to unify around one person? Everybody else get out; support that guy. If somebody can answer this question for me… I mean, I\u2019ve got my own theories. But somewhere in here you\u2019re going to have to admit the concept of self-interest. Why is John Kasich running around acting like he can actually win this thing? Why is John Kasich still in this thing?<\/p>\n

The Cruz people desperately wanting a one-on-one with Trump to put into play the theory that there are more anti-Trump votes than pro-Trump votes remaining in these primaries, the theory being that all we need just one conservative against Trump and we\u2019ll find out that conservative is gonna win every primary. Isn\u2019t that the theory? You can ask these questions \u2019til the cows come home. You can find people to get mad at, you can get upset, you can think people don\u2019t see it the way you do and maybe they\u2019re not patriotic or as focused as you think they should be.<\/p>\n

But you can\u2019t take self-interest out of this. You can\u2019t take ego out of it. You can\u2019t take out the fact that all these people want the prize and think they are the best qualified to do it. Who knows? So at some point, you deal with what you get. Remember, Rumsfeld, a problem he got? “Well, you go to war with the army you have.” Remember the hell he caught for saying that? I, as a mayor of Realville, completely understood him. Everybody else was out there having cows. Anyway, Susan, I appreciate your time. I\u2019m glad you spent so much time on the phone with me here with your thoughts.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Levi in Jackson, New Jersey. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush, for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Two quick points. I\u2019m not sure how this has not been discussed but it almost seems to me that John Kasich is in this race with Trump to prevent Cruz from taking it to a one-on-one against Trump, and he was offered something because once it\u2019s a one-on-one against Cruz against Trump he\u2019s gonna have to debate him and he\u2019s gonna be able to lay out the policy how he\u2019s different and he\u2019ll be able to win. So Kasich it almost seems like is a spoiler for Cruz, and Trump wants him in that race, and who knows? Maybe Trump wanted him to win Ohio so he could keep him in, \u2019cause without winning Ohio, there would have been no justification for him to stay in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That wouldn\u2019t have mattered. He would have stayed in. I\u2019m convinced he would have stayed in. For my own reasons. What\u2019s the other point you wanted to make?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, the other point I wanted to make is… You know, it\u2019s actually two more points. It\u2019s just amazing how all these… I don\u2019t understand how these conservatives are teaming up with the establishment, you know, to take down Trump. I\u2019m a Cruz supporter. But they\u2019re all teaming up, you know, with the establishment when these establishment people have been suppressing the conservative movement for years. It\u2019s just amazing how they would be teaming up with their own worst enemy. It\u2019s just mind-boggling. And what I simply don\u2019t understand is how come Cruz is not… You know, why can\u2019t…? There has to be some way for Cruz to get out his message without all these meetings and with Paul Ryan and how to stop Trump. It\u2019s not gonna happen though.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, what\u2019s the other thing? I\u2019ll get to those. We\u2019re running out of time here, and the real reason I took your call —<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: The article about John Podhoretz <\/a>that he basically said in a nutshell that Trump was the avenger. It has nothing to do with that. People feel unshackled. Trump gives them a voice, and not only is he their voice, but he enables them to actually voice what they\u2019ve been feeling — their frustration for years — when he unshackled them. They\u2019re finally able to say all those things that they wanted always to say but couldn\u2019t because they\u2019re racist and then they\u2019re bigots or whatnot, and they\u2019re finally able to express themselves. He\u2019s giving them… He\u2019s taking away their shackles. It has nothing to do with, you know, oh —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, let me react to this. I\u2019ve only got 30 seconds here, and I want to react. He mentioned JPod, John Podhoretz. I shared with you a piece from Podhoretz yesterday. Podhoretz is one of the latest to weigh in on, “What the hell is going on here? Who are these Trump supporters? Why are they supporting Trump?” ‘Cause it doesn\u2019t compute with establishment guys. And he came up with a theory, and his theory is that it\u2019s not about making America great again. It\u2019s not about trade deals for you Trump supporters.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t about making America great, \u2019cause you know Trump can\u2019t do that. He says, Trump\u2019s not gonna make… He isn\u2019t gonna change anything. All Trump is to you is a punisher. You are supporting Trump \u2019cause Trump\u2019s gonna go out and get even with these people that have made life miserable for you. He\u2019s gonna get even with the banks. He\u2019s gonna punish China. He\u2019s gonna punish Muslims. He\u2019s gonna punish Mexicans. He\u2019s gonna get even with the people who\u2019ve been screwing you. That\u2019s his theory bottled down to its essence.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Tony in Leesburg, Florida, as we head back to the phones on Open Line Friday. Hi. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. What a pleasure. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I\u2019m calling as somebody who voted for Ted Cruz in the primary, but I\u2019m calling to say to Ted Cruz or to Cruz supporters or the whole anti-Trump movement to stop bashing Trump, that it\u2019s not helping their case, and I think I can explain why people are gravitating towards Trump so much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, have at it. I didn\u2019t think there was anything left to be said about that. But if you\u2019ve got something new, have at it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I just think it\u2019s as simple as saying that Trump, more than anybody, is saying what people think and what they care about more and louder than anybody else. And if Ted Cruz or anybody else wants to win, they need to stop worrying about Trump and they need to start worrying about the issues that are important to people and start being as clear and as loud as Trump is about things.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, well, let\u2019s look at some of the opposition to Trump and try to figure this out. As you know, there was a group yesterday of conservative leaders and the purpose of which was to maybe see if there\u2019s anybody they could support as a third-party candidate, \u2019cause they just… No matter what, they will not vote for Trump. It would be a betrayal of everything they\u2019ve ever believed in. It would be a betrayal of conservative principles. It would be a betrayal of everything they believe about the country. It will be betrayal of everything they\u2019ve devoted their lives to. They can\u2019t and won\u2019t vote for Trump no matter what. And they\u2019re gonna trying to find somebody third-party. Now, we all know what happens if there\u2019s a third-party candidate on the right. We know what happens.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Democrat candidate wins. Yet they are doing it because to them it\u2019s a matter of honor and it\u2019s a matter of principal. Then you have the two stories here that are somewhat conflicting. You\u2019ve got Paul Ryan saying, “No, no, no. We\u2019ll get behind Trump if it comes to that a hundred percent.” And then the very next story is about how they\u2019re gonna try to take it away from Trump at a contested convention. So what do you think is really going on here? Is honor and principle triumphing over everything? That\u2019s what we are being told is happening. If the opposition to Trump is principled and it\u2019s based in honor, and that must trump everything — no pun intended.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, people don\u2019t trust that Trump is actually gonna do the things he says. I think that\u2019s why you have this resistance against him. As a Cruz supporter, I\u2019ve watched a lot of stuff on Trump, and I don\u2019t feel great about it. You know, I would hope that he does the things that he says he would, but I think it\u2019s worlds apart how much better he would be than Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You think Trump would be better than Hillary, is what you said?<\/p>\n

CALLER: By worlds apart, yeah. Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are a Cruz supporter, but you think if Cruz wants to win, people need to stop bashing Trump and talk about issues that reach people in effective ways? That\u2019s basically your point?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. If they want to actually get people to get on board with Cruz, then he needs to be as loud as Trump is so that they know what he stands for and not just as an anti-Trump candidate, but as somebody who stands for something substantial. Talk about the IRS, for instance, and how he wants to get rid of that. He could talk —<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Wait a minute. Hold it a minute. Cruz says that in every speech. In every speech Cruz says he\u2019s gonna repeal every word of Obamacare on day one. At noon on day one he\u2019s gonna abolish the IRS. In every speech — every speech and during postelection night and at campaign appearances — he makes it clear issue after issue after issue what he\u2019s gonna do. And yet you just said he needs to take those things. So he\u2019s saying it. He\u2019s made it abundantly clear. I mean, people that are paying attention know exactly what Ted Cruz stands for.<\/p>\n

They know exactly what he\u2019s going to do. He\u2019s not hiding it in any way, shape, manner, or form. He\u2019s not hiding his conservatism. He\u2019s not hiding his devotion to God. He\u2019s not hiding his morality. He\u2019s shouting it from the rooftops. He\u2019s making it abundantly clear to anybody who\u2019s listening who he is, what he believes in, what he stands for, what he wants to do, and how he sees the country. We\u2019re where we are. I mean, it\u2019s not that… If I had to say anything, Cruz has been saying it.<\/p>\n

Throughout this campaign, the Drive-By Media and Republican establishment has been treating Ted Cruz like he\u2019s not even there, focusing on Jeb, then we focus on (obviously) Trump. But I mean, after that then we focus on Kasich. Now, Kasich has won one state. It\u2019s amazing, isn\u2019t it? After Tuesday night, after Super-Duper Tuesday or whatever, the guy that won one state, they shot a confetti gun at his head. He is getting all the coverage this week, outside of Trump. The guy\u2019s won one state, 100-plus delegates. All the attention\u2019s focused on him and what he means. And that\u2019s very silly. Look at this debate.<\/p>\n

Fox News wanted to have a debate, I guess it was next week. Trump said, “Nope. I\u2019ve had it with debates. They can\u2019t ask us anything they haven\u2019t already asked us. They don\u2019t have any answers we haven\u2019t already given them. It\u2019s a waste of time. I\u2019m not doing any more debates.” Now, if Kasich was really in this to win it, you know what he would have done? Shown up for the debate. It have been him and Cruz. If Kasich is really about winning this thing, do the debate. He\u2019s never gonna get any more focused national attention than he would get debating Cruz.<\/p>\n

But he bumped out as soon as Trump did. Why? Well, it\u2019s patently obvious. It\u2019s one of two things. Kasich does not want to be caught saying anything negative about Trump because he wants to be part of what Trump is gonna end up doing if Trump\u2019s the nominee. Or it\u2019s even worse. He actually might think he\u2019s got a chance to win a contested convention. And my guess would be it\u2019s a toss-up between those two. But don\u2019t discount the fact that the confetti guy thinks that he can go in there at a contested convention and win this thing.<\/p>\n

And, folks, before you just throw that away as insanity, take a look at what establishment Republicans and leading consultants and others are saying, and you will be mind boggled. They\u2019re talking about this guy, the governor of Ohio, could deliver Ohio in a presidential race. They\u2019re treating this guy, who\u2019s won one state, with more importance, more reverence, more respect, than Ted Cruz has gotten throughout this entire campaign going back to last August, through the fall and through the winter.<\/p>\n


\nWhenever anything is going on in the Republican presidential campaign, it\u2019s almost like Cruz is not there. Totally understandable, too. Of all of these candidates running, the one guy they really don\u2019t want is Ted Cruz. I\u2019m talking about establishment Republicans and others. They don\u2019t want to any part of Ted Cruz, because they fear him. They fear that would mean a total reworking of the Republican Party. So they run around comparing him to Goldwater. They run around saying, “There are some Jesus freak,” or, you know, whatever the criticisms there are.<\/p>\n

They believe they can work with Trump \u2019cause they think Trump\u2019s malleable. They\u2019ve even had establishment types who have said so. But when it comes Cruz? So Cruz\u2019s task has been to get noticed. Cruz\u2019s task has been to shout louder, whatever he has to do to overcome that. Because he knows as well that you can\u2019t go out and cry unfair. Look, Kasich did that. It was during the early debates when nobody would call on him. “Hey, I\u2019m the guy…” And Carson, too. People laughed at it and thought it was childish. The same thing would happened to Cruz if he went have complained about it, and he knows it. He\u2019s gotta come at this differently.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s basically what our first caller here was saying.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I gotta take a break here, folks. Once again a little bit long. Next segment just marginally shorter, and I\u2019m just telling you that so you understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
