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

RUSH: We\u2019re gonna start with Jimmy in Toms River, New Jersey, and as always, I really appreciate your patience in waiting. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You must be kidding with the patience part. I gotta tell you, your call screener told me to keep the butt kissing at a minimum, but I have to tell you, it\u2019s a true honor to speak to you. You\u2019re an inspiration to me through a lot of hard times and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Keep the butt kissing — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — that life. And I really do mean that, Rush. It\u2019s not just the obligatory mega dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. I really do. (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I got a couple of quick points. First about the Iowa polls, which will lead into my main point. You know, when you look at and analyze these polls, Cruz\u2019s number was about where most the polls shows he was gonna be, anywhere between 24 to 25 to 26, he ended up with 27. Where they were off was obviously Trump\u2019s number, but that leads me into this. Rubio, the massive turnout, really, if you look at it, went to Rubio. There was a massive turnout. Whether it was a true just absolute “I have to vote for Rubio” or another reason, which I think it was another reason, that I\u2019m gonna get to now. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a Trump guy from the beginning, Rush. I\u2019m one of those angry people. I grew up in abject poverty with abusive parents, and Ronald Reagan told me I can be different, that where I came from is not where I can end up. And this country has afforded me things and lets me do things that I can only imagine. I\u2019ve also supported the Republican Party, and they slapped me in my face. Two landslide Senate victories that did nothing but get them to capitulate to Obama —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m getting off the road here. You were a Trump supporter?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I was.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. And —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because I\u2019m one of those angry males.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, so you were an angry guy and you wanted everybody to know how mad you were, that things were going wrong and you think there\u2019s all kinds of stuff, and you like the fact that Trump was a vessel for your anger. Is that right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly, and I was willing to overlook the fact that really any honest person has to say he is not a raving conservative or a traditional conservative.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So are you — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — looked at.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. But you\u2019re in New Jersey, so you didn\u2019t vote in the Iowa caucus but you want to talk about Rubio and where his numbers came from?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, what my overall point is, I think what happened is this. The anger can only last so long, okay? I\u2019m angry about the things that I mentioned and, you know, I\u2019m angry about the fact that I was laid off eight months ago and I\u2019m weeks away from being homeless after raising two kids since I was 16 and coming from nothing. But the anger can only last so long, and hearing him constantly talk about the Canada thing even after he lost, which anybody of any type of conscience has to look at why you lost and humble you a bit and lead you to a different direction. He still harps on the Canada thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait a minute. I just want to make sure I understand. Trump has lost you because he won\u2019t get off this Canada thing?<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m done. I\u2019m done. I\u2019m done. It\u2019s not the Canada thing overall. It\u2019s starting to seem like his anger is disingenuous and he\u2019s angry for anger\u2019s sake, not just angry for principles. He\u2019s angry because it sells something. I don\u2019t want to be sold anything anymore. I was sold something by the mainstream Republican Party that obviously was proven to be a lie over and over again. I don\u2019t want to sold anymore. I\u2019m starting to think that this whole anger with him is not for the reasons that he tends to let out. It\u2019s more for “this is what they\u2019re going to buy.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me jump in here. Jimmy, time is dwindling, and I apologize our phone system is such we can\u2019t actually have a conversation, that\u2019s why I have to sound like I\u2019m interrupting you. But are you saying that Trump\u2019s anger while you think is legitimate, he doesn\u2019t understand why you\u2019re mad, and therefore you don\u2019t think that he really gets it, and he\u2019s just being angry now because he think that\u2019s what\u2019s attracting people to him?<\/p>\n

CALLER: A hundred percent. Like I said, again, I worked hard all my life, okay? I was laid off eight months ago. I don\u2019t want anybody to give me nothing. But I searched out opportunities for days and days. My savings is gone, everything is gone. There\u2019s no opportunities anymore.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, right, right. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (crosstalk) — a chance for me to start working and get somewhere anymore.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I have to run. I\u2019m out of time. I\u2019m frustratedly out of time.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, as to our last caller, it depends. Folks, the phone system here is weird, and it happens most of the time when people are on a cell phone. You ever used a speakerphone where you can\u2019t talk to who you\u2019re talking to until you shut up, and while you\u2019re speaking they can be shouting and you will not hear them? That\u2019s the way the phone system is here for some reason on cell phones. I was unable to talk to the guy. I had to just keep shouting at him until he stopped talking and took a breath is when he can hear me. <\/p>\n

But what I was able to get out of it, what I was able to put together was he was originally a Trump supporter, because he thought Trump\u2019s anger was exactly what\u2019s needed. He was detailing his lot in life, how he started out and lost everything, became a Reaganite and so forth, believes in America, and he\u2019s angry at all of the destruction that\u2019s taken place and is taking place in the country. And he thought Trump was just ideal. And he\u2019s out of the Trump support window now. He has abandoned Trump. Those are my words, not his, but he said he\u2019s over it. And the reason is he doesn\u2019t think that Trump\u2019s anger is genuine. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s when he was talking about he thinks Trump\u2019s anger is a sales technique. And what convinced him of this, he doesn\u2019t understand why after the election, after it\u2019s all over in Iowa, why he\u2019s still continuing to go after Cruz and the Canada angle. To him — this is what he was saying — as a Trump supporter, it doesn\u2019t make any sense. To him, nobody would really be mad about that. It doesn\u2019t make sense to be that mad about whether somebody might be Canadian or not. So that was his point. That\u2019s what he was aiming at and we were able to dissect it for you during the break. <\/p>\n

Now back to the phones. Joel in Coconut Creek, Florida. It\u2019s great to have you with us, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, it\u2019s an honor to be with you.<\/p>\n

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

<\/a>CALLER: You know, Trump started off this whole campaign with the signature issue of immigration, you know, about the wall and putting the big beautiful door in the middle of it, and he really got everybody fired up with that. If you look at the list of candidates that we have, you know, you\u2019d have to say Rubio is the shakiest on immigration. You know, since he\u2019s announced, whether it\u2019s in the debates or in tweets or whenever he gets a chance, he\u2019s gone after everybody, even people that were lower in the polls all along —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who, Rubio or Cruz is going after — or Trump is going after everybody?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Trump.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Trump.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Trump. And now it\u2019s basically exclusively Cruz. My question for you, I wanted to know what you thought about this, is I was thinking about it, and I don\u2019t remember a time that Trump ever has gone after Rubio about really anything, and specifically on immigration. You would think, if that\u2019s his number one issue and he garnered a lot of support that way, why hasn\u2019t he gone after Rubio one time on immigration?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Rubio has never been the front-runner, but don\u2019t forget that for a long period of time, practically all of December and much of January, I\u2019d say the first half of January, Trump and Cruz had what looked like a mutual admiration society going. Cruz was pointedly not criticizing Trump. The theory when that was happening was — this is when everybody was still of the belief — well, not everybody — the consultant class, the donor class, the establishment, all thought or hoped or were praying that Trump would implode. <\/p>\n

Cruz was behaving and covering his bases in the event that did happen. He wanted to get Trump\u2019s voters. And Trump\u2019s voters are a very passionate lot, and they\u2019re intolerant of any criticism of Trump. And they\u2019re not very tolerant of people that doesn\u2019t energetically support Trump. So Cruz said not a word about Trump, and Trump, by the same token, wasn\u2019t saying much about Cruz. Cruz was not the front-runner while all this was going on. Trump was. Then when Cruz all of a sudden began to move and then ended up being tied and ahead of Trump, then here came Trump going after Cruz, starting out on Canada. <\/p>\n

Now, I think, if I\u2019m right, you\u2019re gonna see everybody in this race going after Rubio this week. Everybody. Christie, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul would have if he would have stayed in, Kasich, they are gonna dump on Rubio like Rubio has not been dumped on before. And I think Trump is going to do so as well, but Trump is also gonna focus on Cruz, because Cruz won Iowa. And in Trump\u2019s world, that\u2019s illegitimate, that wasn\u2019t supposed to happen, particularly the last poll going into Iowa said Trump was gonna win by four points. This is a matter of honor. And so Trump is always gonna focus on Cruz, or whoever happens to win a primary or be leading the pack in the polls should something like that happen. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, just to reiterate, the first poll taken in New Hampshire, TV station poll, since the Iowa caucus, has Trump up plus 24, which is pretty much consistent with where he was before Iowa. This is again, folks, depending on where you go in the media, you can find people — probably already have — speculating that — well, I\u2019ll tell you what you\u2019re gonna see, because I\u2019ve seen it now. There\u2019s stories out there already asking, “Has Trump\u2019s support never really been as high as the polls say it is?” <\/p>\n

This question\u2019s being asked because of the Iowa result. It\u2019s being asked by people who work at networks that put out these polls. You have expert analysts at blogs, network websites, wherever, that are now asking the question, “Maybe these polls have always been overstating Trump\u2019s support. Could that possibly be?” You\u2019ve got other stories that, “Well, this loss changes everything. Now this takes the momentum away from Trump. He\u2019s not the winner that he –” I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard this if you\u2019ve been watching TV. In fact, I bet you\u2019ve seen, every network has people that just, I mean, the schadenfreude is incredible. They\u2019re so happy Trump lost, and they\u2019re snarky about it. They\u2019re out there saying, “Yeah, Trump, yeah, Trump, winner, winner, winner, never lose, right? Gonna win, win, win. Well, you lost, Trump, you lost!”<\/p>\n

You can just feel the anger dripping off the TV screen when these people get going, because they have been so frustrated, they couldn\u2019t explain it, they didn\u2019t understand it, and they\u2019re so gleeful, and they hope this means that none of these Trump numbers are real. Except here comes a New Hampshire TV station today basically confirming that he\u2019s plus 24 after Iowa. <\/line><\/p>\n

So he\u2019s gonna continue to go after Cruz \u2019cause Cruz is the front-runner. Cruz has committed a crime: He won. Nobody\u2019s supposed to do that when Trump\u2019s involved. If somebody does that, there has to be some illegitimate explanation, like he\u2019s from Canada, or he cheated with Dr. Carson or what have you. And as our previous caller said, he\u2019s losing me on this. I don\u2019t understand anger at Canada. I don\u2019t understand. The anger ought to be at what\u2019s happening to the country. It\u2019s kind of a variation of what I said.<\/p>\n

Ted Cruz is nobody\u2019s enemy right now. The enemy, everybody\u2019s enemy ought to be Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and anybody in the Democrat Party. They are responsible for this, and those in the Republican Party who\u2019ve made no serious effort to stop it. But Ted Cruz is not one of those. I\u2019m dead serious about this. But I know these campaigns. This is a primary, and technically not about the Democrats. I think it should be. I think it\u2019s a winning strategic to go after the Democrats. <\/p>\n

The Democrats are the reason we\u2019re in this mess. The Democrats are the reason why the Republican primary is shaping up the way it is. But the short answer to your question, I think Trump is gonna be hitting on Rubio at some point. Christie has already started. I think Rubio… You know what Rubio should do? Change his name to “Bush,” or change his name to “Obama,” and Christie would love him. Go in there, get a name change right now and just change his name to “Marco Obama,” and Christie might want a photo-op! You never know.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m being facetious, ladies and gentlemen. But I think Trump\u2019s gonna be hitting everybody that\u2019s close. Rubio\u2019s got the momentum now, as defined by the media. Rubio\u2019s where all the interest is right now. It always happens. You have this winner, and the winner was a surprise because Trump was supposed to be the winner. But Rubio was thought maybe, if lucky, to barely finish in third place. But he wasn\u2019t supposed to end up within a thousand votes of the Trumpster.<\/p>\n

You stay right here, folks, and we will sort all of this stuff out for you happily, minute by minute and day by day.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Sticking with the phones, this is Bob in Waldorf, Maryland. Hey, Bob, great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. How you hitting \u2019em?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well. Very well, sir. Well, actually I finished with three birds and a net bird Saturday last four holes. It was a fabulous round.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, stop it, man. You\u2019re killing me. It\u2019s snowing up here!<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Look, I wanted to talk to you about Trump. I\u2019ve heard him talk about Iowa, giving every reason and making every excuse he could possibly make for why he lost. But I haven\u2019t heard him say anything about the comment I heard him make about how he was gonna make deals with Pelosi and Reid and, you know, get along with the Democrats. I mean, we already have enough liberal Republicans making deals with the Democrats. I sure do think and hope that that hurt him. I mean, to me the more he talks the more he exposes himself as a liberal Republican.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who are you for now?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m for Cruz.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. And you\u2019ve been for Cruz from the outset?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Meh. Yeah, pretty — pretty much. I\u2019ve enjoyed watching Trump poke him in the eye and give him the business and everything. But, I mean, he\u2019s not saying anything. Your first caller, I think, pretty much nailed it. He reminds me of a used car salesman.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow, that\u2019s… This is a different tone that we\u2019re hearing here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it just… When he said that… I mean, the problem, from what I see, you know, is Republicans making deals with Democrats. You know, they\u2019re selling out the American worker, Rush. They\u2019re killing us out here.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I… Look, let me tell you, when he said that, I thought it was a problem, and I mentioned it again yesterday, you know, figuring out what happened to Trump. He was leading by four in a respected poll in Iowa, and you can\u2019t find a poll where he wasn\u2019t finishing first. There were two or three, maybe, showing Cruz winning in Iowa during the month of January, but it\u2019s been Trump\u2019s race. And everybody said, “No, no, Rush! The debate. Not showing up at the debate, that\u2019s what did it.” And I said, “Well, everybody thinks that, but I don\u2019t.”<\/p>\n

I think it was his health care statement that he made on TV Sunday which might have confused people, and I remember that was part of his criticism of Cruz. I think you chalk it up to what I call “ideological awareness.” He\u2019s out making the point that he\u2019s great at negotiating deals. He wins. “America is gonna win. We\u2019ve got idiots doing our deals now, idiots doing deals with the ChiComs, idiots doing deals with the Iranians. I\u2019m gonna do great deals, \u2019cause that\u2019s what I do. Nobody does deals better than me.” So he has that as a foundation. <\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s time to criticize Cruz, and what does he know about Cruz? He knows that the Senate hates Cruz because Cruz is not cooperative with the leadership. Cruz has made a name for himself by calling out his own leadership! So in Trump\u2019s world doing deals, winning negotiations, stomping people, that\u2019s the measure of success. He\u2019s going after Cruz as unable to do that, and he happens to glom on to the fact, “Look, Cruz could never make a deal with those guys! They hate him, they despise him in the Senate.” <\/p>\n

And it is I think the ideological lack of awareness that doesn\u2019t inform Trump that that criticism of Ted Cruz, that he won\u2019t do deals with the Democrats? His supporters do not want deals done with Democrats! His supporters are with him because they are tired of doing deals with Democrats! Trump\u2019s supporters want the Democrats and everybody else responsible for this mess defeated, not negotiated with. But he thought in saying that he was ripping Cruz, because that was the objective, to discredit Cruz — particularly in an area where he, Trump, thinks there\u2019s nobody better. <\/p>\n

And if he were more aware of why the Republican base is ticked off at its own party, then he would probably not have talked about how accomplished and successful he would be with Schumer and Pelosi and so forth.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s my take.<\/p>\n

Take it or leave it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Greg in Easton, Pennsylvania. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush, from Easton, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

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

<\/a>CALLER: I have a feeling that the polls may have been right as far as Trump was concerned, and I base that on something you mentioned earlier about how many voters changed their minds last minute. And because Iowa is a caucus format, you know, I\u2019m a small business owner, my wife and I have a business, and I\u2019ve always wanted to have a businessman run for president. And Trump seems perfect for me. But, even when I talk to other conservatives, they look at me like I\u2019m nuts, like he\u2019s going to cause World War III or, you know, his temper will get us in trouble. So is it possible that going into the caucuses, many people\u2019s minds were changed last minute based on the interpretation of Trump from other candidates —<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s entirely possible. The way the caucus works — in fact, you need to read John Fund, Byron York, there\u2019s a couple of them out there, people that actually went to the caucuses, and Greg, you would particularly find this fascinating, the old argument that in Iowa you\u2019ve got to have a ground game, you\u2019ve gotta have a staff that\u2019s been in the state getting people familiar with you, gotta get them at the caucus, you have to get people standing up for your guy and speaking for your guy at the caucus, every candidate has to have an advocate. <\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve read two or three different stories of reporters, one of them was John Fund, another was Byron York. They went to caucuses and they report on two or three. Nobody spoke up for Trump at any of them. There wasn\u2019t anybody at two or three, don\u2019t know how big, how small, don\u2019t know where, but the point is Trump did not have such a ground game. He was like Romney in 2012. Remember all those big crowds Romney was getting in the last week, everybody thought, man, oh, man, we got really something happening. But Romney did not have a get-out-the-vote organization for conservatives per se. He was relying on all establishment stuff. <\/p>\n

So your question, yeah. Two things could have happened. Trump could have not had any advocates, and other candidates\u2019 advocates could have been ripping Trump left and right. That\u2019s what happens in caucuses. There are miniature debates at these things, many of them. You don\u2019t just show up and vote. There is nothing private about it. There are conversations. Some of them don\u2019t take very long, depending on their size, but, yeah, late deciders could clearly have been influenced by the specifics of what happened at the caucus. <\/p>\n

Now, that\u2019s not gonna be as big a factor in New Hampshire, \u2019cause Trump already has a game there, ground game there, a little bit more. He didn\u2019t put a whole lot into Iowa because he\u2019s telling the truth. It was a place none of his experts told him he could win. So that\u2019s not jive. But that won\u2019t be as big a factor in New Hampshire. But if you\u2019re wondering about Iowa, yeah, it could have been extremely relevant, and it\u2019s a good point.
