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

RUSH: Okay. So now we know it was Trump who had a press conference announced, and it\u2019s begun, and the purpose is Chris Christie — Governor Christie, New Jersey — has just endorsed Donald Trump for president and is explaining why. We\u2019re rolling sound. We\u2019ll have that for you in the next hour. I heard him say that he and Mary Pat, his wife, have been friends with Donald and Melania for a long time. And so Christie is officially now in the Trump bandwagon, having endorsed him. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Joe in Lakeland, Florida. Great to have you on the program, sir. You\u2019re up first today. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. An honor for me to be able to talk to you, and I\u2019m a first-time caller and a longtime listener.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to basically share some things. I follow the political arena fairly closely, that the Trump had better get out of panic mode and deal with reality because politics has never changed. The players have changed. The politics have never changed, and they\u2019re gonna throw at him — like they do everyone who puts their name out there for public consumption — everything they can find, everything they can dig up, and the challenge for him is to be able to address those quickly and put \u2019em away, okay? And not complain, because all of the complaining in the world will not change what the media is going to do. In fact, let me tell you what. Last night wasn\u2019t even a good warm-up for him for what the Democrats will do, and you and I both know that. Basically, that\u2019s what I wanted to share with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Look, it\u2019s not that this stuff isn\u2019t out there. There have been any number of bloggers and journalists in various places tarring and feathering Trump on this stuff. This was the first time the candidates really made a big deal out of it either. I mean, Jeb tried, but Jeb did it along the lines of, “We just can\u2019t have a president who\u2019s elected because he\u2019s an insult king.” That didn\u2019t go anywhere. <\/line><\/p>\n

But this was the first time that any of the supposed incompetence or failings of Trump actually had been mentioned in a debate. And I\u2019ll just tell you out there, Joe: The conventional wisdom is it\u2019s too little, too late. There just isn\u2019t enough time for any of it to have any sufficient impact to do two things. A, harm Trump and then, B, elevate either Cruz or Rubio sufficiently where they could overtake him.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Larry, San Antonio, Texas. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you, Larry.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, mega CAO Extreme Cigar 20-year dittos to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m a veteran of the Armed Forces. I have to salute you. You know, you\u2019re a true patriot and conservative to me. You know, you\u2019ve worn your true colors — as far as I\u2019m concerned — each and every day of the 20 years that I\u2019ve listened to. My wife has me beat by about eight years. But, you know, many may not like it or get it, but I do. And I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no. Most people do like it and get it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, your humor —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re in the majority, Lar\u2019. Don\u2019t worry about that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, I\u2019m not worried about it. I just… I appreciate your humor. Your humor is really, in addition to the history and my education on present-day politics, it\u2019s your humor that really gets me through. Your human wisdom that really gets me through this un-divine comedy that I had to live with the last 7-1\/2 years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that, and I especially appreciate that because this program does feature a combination of things that you normally don\u2019t misunderstand in one presentation, and that\u2019s the serious — I mean, deadly serious — discussion of issues, combined with an irreverent, off-the-wall sense of humor with credibility on both sides with immediate transition from one to the other. You don\u2019t often see that in other places, and I\u2019m glad that you have picked up on that. You made my day, Larry. I appreciate it. <\/p>\n

Everybody, have a great, great weekend, and we\u2019ll be back on Monday with whatever happens between now and then, and whatever else is going on. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
