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

RUSH: I\u2019m just gonna tell you right now, I want to prepare you, because if Jeb Bush finishes in second place tonight and if this Emerson poll is right, then you are not going to recognize the news tomorrow. You are not going to recognize the Republican primary. You are going to think you have been asleep and tomorrow you have just awakened, and nothing that\u2019s happened up to tomorrow will mean anything. If Jeb Bush comes in second place tonight, Jeb Bush is going to be treated as the winner, particularly if Trump\u2019s margin is not 15 points or whatever Frank Luntz says it has to be. <\/p>\n

But the margin doesn\u2019t matter. I\u2019m just telling you that the establishment Republicans and their cohorts in media are not going to be able to contain themselves. And you\u2019re gonna see stories like: Has all the polling up to now been wrong? Have we been worried for nothing? Has it been Jeb from the get-go? Has Jeb\u2019s money not been wasted? You have no idea. And all it\u2019s gonna take is a second-place finish because expectations are that Jeb is not even gonna be breathing after tonight. So I\u2019m just warning you. I have no idea if the Emerson poll\u2019s right; who does? It was right in Iowa, but that\u2019s it. <\/p>\n

But again, just a warning. If Jeb Bush comes in second place, there are people that you haven\u2019t seen on TV in months you\u2019re going to see nonstop wall-to-wall tomorrow as though they have been around from the get-go. Don\u2019t care where it is. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s New Hampshire, it doesn\u2019t matter where it is. The establishment wants Jeb. They have been, up to now, embarrassed, paranoid, humiliated, perplexed, shocked, surprised. <\/line><\/p>\n

Remember, this was gonna be theirs anyway until Trump got in. Trump upset everything. This was Jeb\u2019s race, this was Jeb\u2019s time, Jeb was gonna be the nominee. All these other guys are just fodder placeholder pretenders. Trump gets in, turns everything upside down. The Jeb PACs, the Jeb fundraisers, it\u2019s all just been blown to smithereens. And if he finishes in second place, you might still need binoculars to see him in second, but if he\u2019s in second place, just warning you, they\u2019re gonna take over Fox, they\u2019re gonna take over CNN, and you\u2019re gonna be watching, gonna think, it\u2019s over, Jeb won. <\/p>\n

You\u2019re gonna see how you have been misled. You\u2019re gonna be hearing and reading about how all this stuff, the experts in the polls obviously didn\u2019t know what they were talking about. You\u2019re gonna see the country wants the continued leadership of the Bushes, it\u2019s always been the case. Everything up to now, going back to last June somehow was so dead wrong. We gotta go back to the drawing board and figure out how we got it so wrong \u2019cause it\u2019s gonna be looked at as though Jeb was guaranteed second place all along. <\/p>\n

Now, if he doesn\u2019t finish in second place or third place, then they\u2019ve gotta start looking at other alternatives. And no, I don\u2019t know. No, I have feel for it. I\u2019m just, as you know, warning you what to look for given certain outcomes. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, our last caller, Bob, said he was sick of the second and third place winners being proclaimed — or finishers. He\u2019s sick of the second and third place finishers being proclaimed the winners. Don\u2019t forget Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton, nobody was taking seriously back in 1992. He came in second place in New Hampshire, declared himself the Comeback Kid, and went on to win from a second place finish in New Hampshire. I\u2019m just telling you… Folks, I\u2019m not predicting anything, \u2019cause I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m just telling you, the establishment is still salivating for Jeb. That\u2019s why he\u2019s still in there. That\u2019s why they\u2019re still spending and raising all this money. And if he comes in second — and there\u2019s only one poll that shows he will. That\u2019s Emerson. Only one. Everybody else has him in like fourth place at seven or eight percent. If he comes in second, I\u2019m just warning you: You haven\u2019t seen what you\u2019re gonna see, starting tonight and into tomorrow morning. And it\u2019s gonna… Well, I won\u2019t characterize it. You can tell me tomorrow how you feel about it. <\/line><\/p>\n

Well, if he comes in near the bottom, it still isn\u2019t over because then South Carolina, anything can happen. Nothing changes then. “Anything can happen in broad-based South Carolina and Super Tuesday. Nobody\u2019s sweeping the decks. Jeb\u2019s still in it!” It\u2019s the other guys that you gotta watch. Kasich and Christie. But because the belief is that Trump\u2019s gonna quit is why so many people are still hanging in there. Do not doubt me. And if Trump ever were to quit, it would shake everything up. The majority of voters to go where. That\u2019s what they\u2019re all hanging in for, folks. It\u2019s what they\u2019re all hanging in for. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jerry in Clark, Missouri. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Good to talk to you.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I had a comment. Without Donald Trump in the race, we would be talking about global warming and why fat lesbians drink too much. That seems to be where the race would be.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, folks, before you start laughing, that\u2019s absolutely true. The things that we would be talking about in this campaign. The media would be leading and be in debates asking these questions about such things as global warming and all this other stuff. There\u2019s no question. And Trump… Because Trump dominates the media and he leads the media around, the questions have become, “Senator Cruz, what do you think of what Donald Trump said about you?” “Governor Christie, what do you think about what Marco Rubio said about you?” You\u2019re right. Jerry here has got a good point. I don\u2019t know about fat lesbians drinking, but surely something close to that. I get your point, yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s what they talk about the most are the most ridiculous things. I mean, global warming, my foot! (chuckling) I mean, there is no such thing. It\u2019s been this way since I\u2019ve been born, and that is a long time ago.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. Global warming is… We know. So is this a way you are expressing your thanks that Trump is in the race?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you\u2019re a Trump supporter?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. And when it comes to Missouri, I\u2019ll vote for him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Well, I appreciate the call out there, Jerry. Thanks much. You know, that is an interesting point, the things that would be discussed. That is valid. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
